would he built over, and that angle !
would be not far from the centre OF
the town.
The grocery store prOspered. But |
he was not destined to pass his life as 1
a grocer. One day when he had been |
about a year in the business, as he |
was standing in the door Of his shop, !
n wagon drove up, from which an old |
acquaintance sprang to the sidewalk
III have been building" said the
newcomer, afterthe usual salutations,
"a glue factory for my. son but l
don't think that either he or can
make it pay. But you are the very
man."
"Where is it?" asked the young
grocer.
It was on what we should now call
the corner OF Madison Avenue and
Twenty-ninth street, the present
centre Of eleganceand fashion in New
York.
"I'H go and see it."
He got into the wagon with his
/ friend, and they drove to the spot
He liked the prospect. All the best
glue was then imported from Russia
the American glue being Of the most
| inferior quality, and bringing only
one fourth the price Of the imported
article. He saw no reason why as
| good glue could not be made in New
I York as in Russia, and he determined
/ to try. The pri e was two thousand
dollars. 1t 50 happened that he pos
sessed exactly that sum, over and
above the capital invested in his gro
Gerry business. He concluded tht bar
gain on the spot. sold out his grocery
forthwith, and began to make glue.
Now followed thirty years Of steady
hard work. He learned how to make
the best glue that ever was made IN
the world, and it brought the highest
price. For twenty years he had nc
book keeper. no clerk, no salesman
no agent. He was up at the dawn ol
day. He lighted the factory fires, Sc
as to be ready for the men at sever
O'Clock. He boiled his own glue. A
midday he drove into town in his
wagon, called upon his customers, anC
sold them glue and isinglas-. A

OILED FLOORS.

Oiling improves q floor in several
ways. Grease spots, OF course, viii
not affect the wood thus treated aud
much less scrubhing than is necessary
for a plain floor, will suffice to keep II
clean. Moreover, the appt aranee Is
improved by the oil. Many Of our
native woods, prepared in this man
ner, become positively beautiful. FL
nally, it gives the surface harder
texture, which makes il wear longer
and more uniformly.
Paint costs more, takes longer to
dry, and wears of more easily, since
it simply forms a crust or coating
upon the surface, while oil penetrates
the wood. Hence an oiled floor looks
better than a painted one, especially
if a little color, such as NanDyke
brown, umber, or burned sienna Is
added to the oil.
To prepare a floor in this manner,
take raw linseed oil, or some cheap
oil, not offensive in OdOr. and capable
Of drying; mix it, if desired, with
some transparent eOlOrs, as those
mentioned above, and apply it with
common paint brush. Lay it on
smoothly, so that u will strike in uni
fOrmly over the whole surface, and
not stand in spots. This may be done
at night, after the days work, and
the place will be ready for use the
next morning AS far as the oiled
surface is concerned, it might be
stepped upon at once without Injury,
hut there would be danger in that
ease OF tracking the grease to other
parts of the house. a new coat OF
oil, applied in this way once or twice
2 year, is sufficient to keep the floor in
perfect order.
This treatment is 20 be heartily rec
commended for lie floors Of kitch-
ems, pantries, veTandas, closets, hath
rooms, and labOrers' bed rooms. 1t is
also a good plan in ehildren's apart
ments, particularly in training them
10 do their own hOusewOrk, to leave
without carpet or mating that part OF
the floor where the bed stands, with
a few feet around il, and to oil the
wood. The floor under the bed can
then be easily kept free from dust,
and the sweepings can be readily re-
moved, while washstands etc, can be
sO disposed as to give the youngsters
free scope for their duck-like ablu-
tiOns, without injury TO carpets.
In country houses the plan might
! he carried still further. We recently
had all the floors in 4 newly-buill
house oiled, and we think it wise
/ economy. Many well-tO-dO families
in Europe have no carpets at all and
[ though there are some disadvantages
/ i'm such a course, there are certainly
some points gained. We think II
/ gives cleaner houses, with less house
cleaning. Putting down, taking up,
and beating carpets is the most vexa-
tiOus and labOriOus of our domestic
economy, as their cost and destruction
constitute one of the great items OF
expense. Still, we do not attack car
/ pets, thOugh-speaking of attacks,
I what a tax the tacks are we only
say, where you don't need a carpet
by all means oil your floor.

Rings are Of the greatest antiquity
and of universal fashion. Solomon
was said to own one that possessed
magical power, and you remember the
ring of Pharaoh which he gave To-
Joseph rs a sign Of his delegated au
thOrity. The wedding ring we get
from the Hebrews; adopted from them
by the Romans, it became a general
custom In the time of Pliny this
ring was of iron with a lOadstOne, as
emblematic Of the love which should
bind closely together man and wife
Rings were worn as a badge Of knight
hood. In early ages it was n mark
that its wearer was a freeman or
freedman. Among the Romans and
Greeks they wore different rings for
different seasons, some stones being
considered cooler and lighter than
others. Seal rings are as ancient a.
the DAYS of Alexander of MacedOn,
and as early certainly as the fourth
century were made part of the dress
Of a bishop. The POpes have two
rings, Of which one, the G7HUiuS pis-
edtCris, the special ring of the POpes,
is broken whenevera Pope dies, new
one being provided for his successor.

Ten minutes sleep before dinner IS

sleep is taken after dinner il shOu' d be

dinner instead Of after, and they will
