The simplest way to apply staining to
floors is to put it on with an ordinary
paint brush. 1t is better to apply sew
eral coats, in order to get the desired
tint. When this has been reached, melt
some wax and mix in enough turpentine
to make it when it cools little harder
than fresh butter. This mixture must
be kept in tightly stopped bottle OF
jar, and may be dug ont with a broad
bladed knife. To apply it place it in
small Jumps on rubber made Of rags
and covered with coarse cotton. With
this it is lightly rubbed on the wood.
Then make wooden rubber of soft
wood. with handle like that on scrub
bing brush. The lower edges Of the rub
Der are rounded, of course, and it will
be found easy to work if it be attached
to a long broom handle by stout strsI
iron hinge. With this give the floor 4
good rubbing until the wax is forced
into the wood. If bare spots are seer
put on more wax. When this process il
finished 90 over it all with stiff brush
which will polish it until it shines
Floors do not require to be waxed snc
rubbed more than once in three months
unless they become worn in spots, ans
these can be patched in afew minutes
But they cannot be polished with th'
brush too often. When kept properl,
they should always shine.

WHAT THEY THINK.
Expression of New York Papers on The
Democratic Outlook.

NEw YORK Feb. % The Herald say
Hill handled the situation with cOnsummste
tactical shrewdness, bat the Democratic
party Of the state has very bitter feud on
their hands, xnd the aggressive policy OF
Hin has excited a degree Of opposition
which renders the vote Of November un-
certain for himseif or Cleveland.
The Herald thinks a Western man Who
has the respect OF the Southern men, like
Wattersop, for instance, With Hill for sec
ond place, would be certain to carry New
York and the country.
The Tribune says unless all signs fail
the anti. Hill movement is rapidly gaining
strength, and already has become serious
enough to be called faction.
II the sn,i-Iiill men force the fighting
they will speedily destroy Hill ssa Presi
Dental possibility.
1t may occur to Hill on reflection, adds
the Tribune, that the mid winter convention
ls too smart trick by half.
The World ssys Senator Hill has the del
egstion from one stste. But 43 othe!
are yet to be heard from, and even in two
months from now the real fight for nomi
