May % IS celebrated in many parts
OF Great Britain as Royal Oak day.
it being the anniversary OF the restora-
ton OF Charles Stuart to the throne In
England as Charles II. The celebra-
ton is not what it formerly was. hay-
ing died out entirely in many Of the
southern counties of England. The
day was formerly commemorated not
only as the day OF restoration but
on account of the marvellous escape OF
Charles, who. after the battle of
Worcester, climbed into an oak tree
and hid from his pursuers among its
branches. On Royal Oak" those who
celebrate wear sprigs OF oak in their
hats ana use the leaves for various
decorations.

A PALACE OF ICE.
Cavern In Hungary That Is One of
the AIarycIs OF Europe.

Cavern In Hungary That In One of
the MarvcIs OF Europe.
The ice cavern near Dobschau, Hun.
gary, is one of the most remarkable
but least known martels of Europe.
Though spoken of as a cavern, in reall-
ty 1t is an ice palace. the roof floor and
wallis being of ice, sometimes Opaque,
sometimes as diaphanous as glass. The
frozen water assumes many quaint and
beautiful forms. Pillars. vases, grottoes,
touches and waterfalls meet the eye
at every turn.

It's discoyerer One day while shooting
among the hills he was startled by tie
peculiar echo of his gun, an echo which
suggested the near presence OF vast
cavity or hollow. After long search
he was rewarded by finding a small
aperture in the hillside overgrown by
bushes and trees. The next day he re-
turned, accompanied by two friends,
who lowered him by ropes into the
space AS he swung into the darkness
bitter cold, which increased as he de-
scended, was felt.
At last he felt his feet touch the
ground. and, looking around. him, he
found himself in a vast hall which he
could but dimly see. The ice palace
was discovered.

sion When II Was Observed.
A wonderful atmospheric phenome.
non, described by both Ulloa and Bon
ger, was first observed by the first
named gentleman during the stay OF
himself and party in the Pinchincha.
One morning at daybreak the whole
mountain top was covered with a
dense fog. After short while the at
mosphere became tolerably clear with
the exception OF few vaporous
clouds. While the travellers were
watching the gradual disappearance Of
the fog one OF them turned quickly
and perceived an image OF himself
distinctly mirrored on that quarter OF
the sky opposite the rising sun. The
figure appeared TO stand In the center
OF three concentric rings which were
shaded with differ ent colors. while
around was a fourth ana much larger

KITCHEN BRUSHES.

What to do with the brushes is an.

CARE OF THE PIANO.
The Way to Bleach the Keys when
They Become Yellow.

They Become yellow.
Many people who keep their pianos
carefully closed find that the keys be.
come yellow. Because dust Is injurl-
GUS to piano 1t is common belief
that the piano should be closed when
not in use. This is mistake. The
majority Of pianos made today arc
constructed so that dust cannot easily
penetrate them even when they are
open. Keys turn yellow from lack of
light. and Il piano should be open the
larger part of the time.
There is nothing like strong sun
shine for bleaching yellowed piano
keys. Rub the keys with powdered
pumice stone, moistened with water,
and then draw the piano up before a
sunny window while the keys are still
moist The woodwork of the piano
should be carefully covered. This
bleaching is a slow process and may
need 10 be repeated several times be-
fore the keys assume their original
color.
Some housekeepers have bleached
the keys of their pianos to beautiful
white by simply letting strong sun
shine rest fully on them hour after

PEASANT WOMEN IN JAPAN
They Not onIy Do the Housework,
but PIow the Fields

The sewing in the kimono consists of
one small and one long stitch, species
of artistic Blasting. There is reason in
this, for whenever the kimono Is wash
ed 1t is ripped to pieces. This is per-
haps why the Japanese, who battle
daily, wear such dirty clothes, while
the Chinese, who battle sometimes.
wear such clean clothes. The kimono
strips are dabbed up and down with
out soap, scrubbed with a brush and
Nare ironed by drying them carefully on
boards, One of the sights of town
are these boards, with their strips OF
silk leaning against the sides of the
houses.
The peasant women not only do the
housework, but out Of door work as
well. Like the coolies, they wear trou-
sers and stand knee deep In the slush
of the rice paddles, guide the water
buffaloes at the pillow or bind up the
straw TO dry on the trees, This is the
Japanese idea Of a haystack and makes
the trees look as II they were wearing
skirts.
One of the novel sights is the old
women mowers, clipping the lawns
with scissors as neatly as lawn
mower and stopping now and then
TO gossip over their tea. Both in China
and Japan the tending of silkworms
is not only done by women, but is re-
garded as an elegant duty. In China
