rus on LAYING LrxoLEuus

While it is difficult to follows system
in fitting oilcloths and linoleums, few
cardinal rules must be observed, aud VIC
venture to suggest them. In eating
linoleum from diagram allow an inch
at the ends. II it is not to be laid at once
allow also fraction on the width, for
shrinkage is probable both ways. Get
the diagram correct to the fraction Of al
inch, so that IL cutting must be done for
centre pieces or register holes it can be
done before the cloth is laid on the room.
Tack linoleum after butting the edges
evenly within an invisible brad, say
four riches apart, and il possible line
the edges with an adhesive paste. Get
the door smooth by dressing the planks.
Do not try to even it up by laying
strips Of paper lining over sinks in the
floor. Nothing but jack plane will
serve. The future service of the cloth
will depend upon the floor being per-
fectly smooth. A nicely laid linoleum
needs no binding, but should binding be
desired for sake Of appearance, use one
half inch brass binding. Let hnoleum,
like oilcloth, lay face down several days
in the store before fitting it. Another
reason for having the cloth made per-
fectly ready for the apartment is to avoid
scratching the Dashboard with surplus
cloth, and the certainty Of cutting the
ends untrue. The balance of the detail
must be left to the skill of the layer.
We offer no antidote for blisters and
puffs which appear in the centre of
! sheets of linoleum or oilcloth. The
manufacturer comes in there. The seller
had better lie low and hope that Mrs.
Jones will not put much stress on that

NANAIMO MAN STEALS $1,000.
He Runs Away and His Young Wife
Loses Her Reason.

VICTORIA, Jan. 26.-TSpecial. All eff
forts to capture f. w. Whiffen. the alb
sconding secretary of the Nanaimo Build
ing and Loan Association, have so far been
unsuccessful, and tomorrow night the di-
rectors must face general meeting of the
stockholders to explain why and
under what circumstances they
allowed the secretary to conduct
the business of the society in
such loose manner. Another knotty
problem that will have to be solved is how
the $1,000 stolen by Whiffen is to be re-
placed. Some stockholders declare that
the directors are personally responsible
and have threatened to bring suit against
them to recover the amount. The direc-
tors endeavor to put the blame on the
treasurer, whose duty they say 1t was to
notify them if moneys collected were not
paid over to him promptly. This he did
not do, and he has perhaps let himself in
for damages
But while the general public are wrapped
up in discussion of the financial difficulties
caused by Whitfen's disappearance, there
are lew of the more intimate friends of
the family anxiously hoping against hope
that kind providence may intervene in
another direction Mrs. Whiffen, the abb
sconder's young bride, who is daughrer
of Rev. J. b. Good, of Nanaimo, is said to
have completely lost her reason, and is in
fact maniac. The physicians in attend
ance hold out only one hope of her recov-
cry, viz: that her husband returns and is
able 10 arrange matters IN such way as

Petty and Ellis rode up in front of
him and Ellis demanded that they
then have it out, at the same

horse IN front of Seaver so he could not

side threatening him. Seaver thought he

terviewed today, referred to Egan as a

lister Egan a scoundrel and few other cher
ished names, at the Reform Club meeting on
Thursday evening, he is very much mistaken.
The moment is not auspicious for Chilean blus-

tinuance of their efforts to purchase arms in
this country for Chile, nor for the shipment of
any such arms already purchased. let our gov.
ernment fearlessly prohibit any export of arms
and ammunition to Chile, and at once, ana let
Trumbull beware of what he says.
