WEEK BY WEEK.

A Good Substitute for the Annual UpheayaI
of House Cleaning.
1t is very much better for the furni-
ture and all your rooms to be treated
Systematically all the year than to
have one annual. upheaving. Except
in the, matter of carpet cleaning and
repapering it is quito possible to do
away with the spring or fall cleaning
by simply doing one room thoroughly
every week. If your house has six
rooms, each room will get good
cleaning every six weeks; if there are
ten, and you are restricted in help,
they will get overhauled only four. or
five times a year, but in either case
there will be no domestic revolution,
no complete upheaval of your lares and
penates. -lss
It is very much better for the furni-
ture, ETC., to be treated systematically
all the year round in this fashion.
Linoleum Oil and floor cloths, washed
and polished in the! same way as stained
floors, only with q thinner preparation,
will look better and last much. longer
than if merely washed In slovenly
manner for six months, and then, elab.
orately scrubbed or otherwise treated
with drastic remedies to remove stains
and marks which have been allowed to
eat into the material until 1t becomes q
difficulty to remove them. The same
remark naturally applies to polishing.
"A little done. every week keeps the
furniture in much INSTRUMENTATION than
spasmodic operations; it can be per.
formed with such q variety of prepare
tions that the difficulty lies in the
choosing. One Of the most satisfactory
polishes is also the simplest namely, q
mixture Of linseed oil and vinegar, kept
in a well -corked bottle and shaken be-
fore use; the furniture must be busted
first; then the mixture can be applied
over small surface, polishing quickly
with old silk rags This somewhat
primitive but eficacious compound has
q double advantage; itsdoes not form a
cake over, the wood, even with long use
(which cake invariably produces cracks),
and the combined oil and vinegar re-
move many stains and grease marks
that ordinary polishes do not touch
Mirrors and looking glasses should be
cleaned as regular thing every time q
room is done; nothing looks so bad as q
stained surface a glass of any de
scription, and q little spirits Of wine
jndiciously applied with q softrsg will
remove the most obstinate marks; pic
ture frames and books, Goo, should be
well busted, and cupboard = shelves
busted and felhed with clean paper
