OILED FLOORS FOR KITCHENS Il have for
several years, followed the plan of oiing IN
carpeted floors, in order to avoid the labor OF
scrubbing them, and l find it works well
You can either oil or paint them, of course
but I consider the oil preferable, on the fol-
lowing grouds:
You can apply it yourself. s. tNF.U
You have not to wait for it to dry.
It produces pleasanter color ~f@
1t doesn't show tracks of dust, mud, and
such like; and, therefore, a floor thus pre-
pared does not require frequent hopping.
An oiled floor is better than plain one in
the following particulars: $3.50 0B83tltA
1t looks better
/ 1t does not require scrub6ing, which saves
your back Z 80 s#4at
1t is never to be mopped in hot water nor
strong suds which saves your hands.
Grease spots never hurt it which saves
your temper. k4 F4E
To prepare flour, take a qusntity ofthe
cheapest and least offensive oil ] can secure,
and apply it with q common paint brush.
put it on smoothly, so that it vii strike in
equally all over and yet not stand in spots
on the surface. do this at night, after the
evening work is finished, and find the place
ready for use the next morning. OF course it
would not injure the oiled surface itself, to
tread upon IL at once but grease Is liable to
be tracked from it, at first, to adjacent parts
OF the house. new coat Of oil applied once
iii SIX months, or even once year sometimes,
is sufficient to keep floor In perfect order.
One may thus prepare to a great advantage
thu floors of kitchen, pa tries, summer di
ming rooms. stalrways and portocos, closets,
ath rooms, and laborers' bedrooms. 1t is
also good plan in children's apartments,
particularly when you are training them to
do their own room work, to leave bare that
end out side the floor on which the bed stands,
and to oil it. That portion Of the floor under
the bed can be eaaly kept free from dust, the
the sweepings can be more readily removed,
and the children will be afforded free, scope
for their duck-like style o. abutions. with
out danger to the carpet. = Western RssraI

SHAKING THE UNITED STATES. Passing
over the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, a
short time since, as the mail was thrown of
at one OF the stations, it was picked up by a
negro boy fifteen years old, who took it on
his shoulder and started for The post-ofice.
AfteR proceeding short distance he was met
by gentleman followed by dog AS the
dog passed, the darkey gave him a kick, which
the gentleman resented by Selling him by the
coat collar and giving him thorough, shak-
ing. AS soon as the boy recovered from this
process he turned upon the agitator and said,

DOUBLE LIFE.-A farmer residing in
Bristol, Ontario county, New York, is Il
somnambulist. One day while working
in field he lost an iron tooth from the
harrow with which i4eswts puttingin his
whsat crop. He hunted an hour to find
it, but was unsuccessful During the en-
suing night he rose from his bed, partial
ly dressed himself, and started out. The
night was very dark; one of his boys fol-
lowed him with lantern He kept up q
running talk with himself about the drag
tooth" He walked in straight line to
the field where he had been lahorng
perhaps y quarter ef a mile from hissresi-
dence Arriving at d certain point he
stopped short, kicked away some earth
and brought forth the missing tooth !
Then turning square around he proceeded
directly to- his home Arriving AT the
door he performed the feat of lifting the
heavy stone step, which required the com
bincd strength Of himself and another
man to raise the next morning He threw
the iron under the step, let down the stone
easil z saying, there you are, and cant
get away again" and then coOlly, and APP
arently without the least excitement,
retired to his chamber, disrobed himself
and went to bed. He was entirely an
conscious the next morning of what he
had been doing Now the question is,
what peculiar power enabled the min to
perform this wonde .ful feat? It would
seem little less than miracle, but of its
truth us relai ed there is no doubt. Troy
