withhold the desired boon. She was
only too delighted to reinstate the hap

had prevailed in the early days of their
married life, before John had become
imbued with the love of money and
suspicious Of its expenditure. He was
cured of the growing propensity, and
thenceforth made Molly's path much

Small EYaannaoL

How the Work Can ne Done Neatly and at
Small Expense.
The practice of staining board floors
a darker tint than their original color,
Or 10 represent woods of greater cost.
is now almost universal, and is the
first step toward that thing of beauty,
a high-art drawing room. A floor
stained to represent dark old oak is
preferred by many. The m xture for
accomplishing this is sold at all paint
shops. and comes in grades /. 2. 3. 4,
varying light to dark. Light polished
floors are much preferred at present,
although a great deal depends on
the condition of the boards. If the
boards are smooth and fine-grained, a
satinwood or pitch-pine stain and pol
ish is preferred; but if the floor is old
or rough it is folly to attempt any stain
except that of dark oak or dark ma
hogany.
Pour the liquid into a saucer, dip the
brush in. saturatc thoroughly. rub
evenly over the wood and dry instantly
with a soft cloth. 10 insure success
this must be done quickly and evenly.
For the ultra-fashionable floor. which
is a pale shade OF oak. sized and warn.
ished, buy the desired amount of raw
sienna powder, mixed with water. and
rub into the boards as directed above.
For mahogany staining make a mix

boiled in a gallon of water; brush this
over the wood while hot. When dry

ash. two drains to one quart of water,
size and polish. If q redder shade is
required it can be produced by smear
ing the surface with a strong solution
of permanganate potash, which is left
on for a Ion ger or shorter time, accord.
ing to the shade required; in most cases
five minutes will be enough. The wood
is thon carefully washed. dried and
polished in the ordinary way. A good
cheap oak stain is made of equal paris
of American potash and pearl-ash, two
ounces of each to o quart of water. As
American potash is a solvent, care
should be taken to keep it from the
hands. and an old brush should be
used as it is no goodiafterward.- hila'
