WooD FLoORs-lIow TO CLEANSE
THEM.-This is very important matter
in country like the United States, where
there is so much change Of lonicilc and
that particularly in city like New York
on the first of May. Floors dirty enough
to make housckecpers desperate when they
think of the bare possibility being able
to clean them, are first scrubbed with
sand, then rubbed with the aid of II stiff
brush with lye of caustic soda, and
washed with hot water. Then, after the
lapse of an hour or so, and before the floor
is dry, it is moistencdwith very diluted by
drochloric acid and then with thin un.-
form paste of bleaching powder--that is ny
phochlorite of lime After having re-
manned over night, it should be washed off
in the morning. Housckeepers are then
astonishcd at the beauty of the floor.
When no grease-spots arc present the ap-
plication Of the caustic soda may be omit
ted.

To KEEP NAILS FROM RusTING.-
When nails are used in position in which
they are greatly subjected to air and mois-
ture, it will always pay to prepare them in
such manner that they will not easily
rust. This may be accomplished without
any difficulty by heating quantity Of
nails on shovel and throwing them while
quite hot, into vessel containing coarse
oil or melted grease. The nails should be
so hot that the grease will be made to
smoke freely. Cut nails prepared in this
manner are improved in every respect
They are rendered tougher, and will out
last any kind of wood. even though buried
in the ground; while unpreparcd nails are
completely destroyed by rust in very
short time.
