Is a long tin lulled mop with a scrub

bar attachment for squeezing the mop
dry. The mop is attached to the handle
by one of Us ends anil the wringing bar
Is removably attachable. to the loop lu
the other end. When the mop is to
be wrung out the bar Is inserted and
the mop drawn up the handle as far as
It will stretch. Another bar is thrust
between the two strands, anil they are
twisted around the handle Into plaits,
the. twisting being .continued until all
unnecessary water Is drained from
them. There Is also a scrubbing brush
hinged to the lower end of the handle
that can be used in conjunction with
the mop for more effective work.
The Honey Bee.'
. Bees are the only producers known
to husbandry that yield a profit with
out cost of feed. They find their own
pasturage. They multiply so rapidly
that they more than pay for the small
initial expense of housing them and
the first coat equipment. - v
Everybody has a good word as well
as a bad word to say for the honey
bee, namely, that it makes honey and
it can sting. ' In the earlier writings,
now centuries old, wherever mention
ia made of the bee, these two" habits
are recorded. In the many, many
years that people have been observ
ing bees,, there has hem tremendous
improvement in the way men1 manu
facture articles,, electric power and
machinery doing away with hand
work; bat the bees of the present day
still make honey in the same way as
of old. In the eountless ages that
man have been studying bees there
have been invented remarkable im
plements of waref are gunpowder
and submarine torpedo boats taking
the place of spears . and battering
rams; yet the bees of today continue
to sting with the same kind of poison
ed dart as in bygone days.
The ancient trade of honeymaking
as carried on by the bees , and the
means they take of defending them
selves from enemies, are both per
fectly accomplished and no improve
ment has been necessary throughout
the ages. ' .

munication multiplies a man's capacity

Oil from Trees.
The Chinese wood-oil tree is the
subject of a circular by David Fair

Bureau of. Plant Industry, the purpose
of the publication being to advocate
an extensive cultivation of the tree
in this 'country, where it has been
grown in a small way sifrse 1906.
The importance of this recommend
ation is shown by the fact that 6,000,

Removing Scorch Stains.
If one has the misfortune to scorch
an article while ironing it Is a simple
matter to remove' the spot (and tnat
without relaunderlng) If the material
happens to be white. Simply wet the
spot with hydrogen peroxide and Iron
till dry with a bot lroniand all trace
of scorch will fade and disappear.
Peroxide of hydrogen Is a powerful
bleaching agent and is apt to bleach
the color from a colored article, but Is
entirely harmless nnd does not even
need to be , rinsed from any white ,
goods.
Applo Dumplings.
One pint thick cream, one teaspoon
ful baking powder, half teaspoonful
soda, one large tnblespoonful shorten
ing, pinch of salt. Boll out pieces of
dough the size you want dumpling.
Slice one apple for each member of
family, cover well with sugar, butter
nnd cinnamon. Uoll up, fasten with
clean toothpick, lay in dripping pan,
make n thin sirup of sugar and water
and pour over. Bake till well done.
Eat with rich cream sweetened to
taste aud a dash of nutmeg.
Mate For the Bathroom.
The rag rugs of white with colored
borders or pink and blues to go with
whatever color scheme Is used in the
bathroom are very satisfactory. Then
there are the cot I in velours rugs in
pluk, green, olive, etc., with white bor
ders, that are excellent They are
heavier than the rag ones and would
have to be sent to the laundry. Very
large and heavy bath mats are some
times used in the children's bathroom
