staining poor.

A month ago / had my dining-room
floor stained and waxed, and it has Civ
en- such perfect satisfaction that ! only
wish it had been done years ago. One
and-a-half ounce of permanganate
Of potash, in crystals, was dissolved in
q gallon Of water. This stain was put
upon the floor with q painters fat
brush, working the way Of the grain Of
the wood. When the floor was per-
fectly dry, three applications oflinseed
oil were given. This was well rubbed
in with a piece of flannel. In two DAYS
the floor was ready for the wax, which
was prepared as follows: Cutinto bits;
Just cover with ~turpentine, and set the
dish in q pan Of hot water until the
wax has melted; then let it get cold,
when it will be in the consistency of
thick cream. Rub on with a piece of
flannel, and then polish with a polish
ing brush. We used . large scrubbing
brush. not wishing to 90 to the expense
of buving one for the purpose. The
polishing is the hard part. You can
ask each member Of your family to lend
a hand at this stage of the work, and I
hare small doubt but that each and all
viii declare stained floors "a humbug"
before the right degree Of polish is at
tanned. But when q floor is once thor
oughly polished, it takes but little la
Dor to keep it looking nicer.-Rural

that is, counting the trouble Of making
it nothing, it will cost less than a woven
spread, and viii be a great deal more
satisfactory. Get a square of cardinal
flannel of good quality and that which
is commonly called double width; J"
around this put a broad band of vel
yeteen of the same color, but of a darker
shade; then put flannel around this to
the depth of four inches. This may be
pinked around the edge. AS to orna-
mentation, it may be INDUCED in to any
extent, but it is a pretty spread with
the plain band, or with a feather stitch
ing on each side of the band. IN. Y.

Mothers.

There are two extraordinary things
about mothers. One is their patience,
and the other is their impotence. he
who sees q mother care for a child
through a long and dangerous sickness,
tending it by day and by night, saving
its life, not once merely, but many
times, hoping on when all others de-
spair, and keeping mp when all others
give out, and at last coaxing and loving
the little creature back to GONZALES
cence, sees one of the sublimest things
in nature. The same mother, when
the child is well again, will sometimes
exhibit an impotence with it that bor-
ders on the ridiculous. 1t is noisy,
~boisterous, inquisitive, careless, as all
healthy children are apt to be, and the
mother wears out her soul in scolding
it. This is often a case of cause and eff
feet. The child has recovered its ner-
vous force, but the mother has not.
During the ten weeks illness of a child,
it's mother rlay expend her entire re-
serve of vital energy, and. contract a
large debt in hat line besides, which
she may be years in liquidating. She
may never liquidate it, but live on fret
fiji ard irritable to the end, for a moth
en- seldom passes a whole year without
mourning some new drain upon her re-
sources. 1t is for this reason that, In
all the arrangements of q home, the
ease and comfort of the mother should
be considered before al things. This
is her right. Nor is it less the interest
Of the family, for their happiness de-
ponds chiefly upon her health and
ch~eerfulness.

when the dinner bell rang and ''Bobbie,

his arms as if she were baby and carried
her down the stairs, and she chiruped
back at him, never murmuring, and they
went laughing through the hall, till he set

told me, confidentially that he was the best

Murdered his Fellow Clerk.

WAUsAU, Wis, Special Telegram,
May 31.-Will Thayer of this city
shot and killed Fred J. Beales OF
Bonneville, n. Y, this morning. Both
were young men and clerks in the
Marathon County bank here. They
opened the bank as usual, and had
some TRIVIAL talk about a pen. A
moment after, while Beales was stoop-
ing over the desk at work, Thayer
stepped up beside him placed revol-
yer close to the back of his head and
fired. Beales fell and died instantly.
No motive can be assigned for the
deed. Thayer belongs to a respecta-
bic family and has born a good char
acter always. There was no trouble
with him and his victim, SO far as
known. Altogether it is a most mys-
ferrous affair.

the killing of Porter. Thater had left
the post office and was going toward

Each exchanged five shots. Porter
was shot through the body, and died

The difficulty grew out of accusations
made against Porter which Thater re-

The State convention adopted by a
unanimous vote, reduction of "the
present burdensome tariff" Such a
resolution would hardly suit the mem
bers of either party in the lake shore
counties, where our chief stock in
trade is lumber. The fact is no tariff
law can be enacted that will suit all
sections of the country, and upon the
whole our present law is not far out
of the way as a whole, and for time
at least, we think it would be policy
for all parties to drop that subject. So
long as that question is discussed, the
business of the country is agitated and
uncertain and insecure. More harm is
done by this ceaseless agitation of the
tariff laws than is possible by perhaps a
little unjust or unfair taxation.

tary to call the roll of states, that

/ first state reached that had a candid
ate, and Mr.. Brandege stepped for

were deafening, Judge West, the blind
orator of Ohio, took the stand to nom
mate James g. Blaine. He paid tri-
butte to Arthur, but also said Blaine

seconded this nomination. He said
that the people of the country asked
this convention to grant their twice de-
ferred desire; that Blaine was not of
one state but all the way from Maine
to California.
When New York was reached the
cheering was renewed and continued
for several minutes, when Martin |.
Townsend took the stand and nominat-
ed Chester A. Arthur. His speech was
not well received, and once or twice
