Good Substitute for the Annual Upheaval
of House Cleaning.

Good Substitute for the Annual Upheaval
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 quite 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.
1t 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 thinner preparation,
will look better and last much longer
than if merely washed in slovenlv
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 it becomes a
difficulty to remove them. The same
remark naturally applies to polishing
A little done every week keeps the
furniture in much better condition than
spasmodic operations: it can be per-
formed with such a variety of prepare
tions that the difficulty lies in the
choosing. One of the most satisfactory
polishes is also the simplest-namely. a
mixture of linseed oil and vinegar. kept
in 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 efficacious compound has
a double advantage; it does 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
room is done; nothing looks so bad as a
stained surface to glass of any de-
scription, and little spirits of wine
judiciously applied with a soft rag will
remove the most obstinate Marks pic
ture frames and books, too, should be
well busted and cupboard shelves
busted and refined with clean paper

The great American orator exclaimed:

"o"ah VINO says They Are an Absolute
Necessity.
Are we hypocrites all or are we UNI
selfish souls who prefer to sacrifice the
truth and ourselves rather than wound
ourlfellow-beings? is the problem which
Mrs, Lynn Linton discusses in recent
English periodical. Is it a lie to say
not at home, and are the women who
instruct their maids to say it engaged
IN the nefariOus business of running i'm
mortal souls? Is it sin or merely a
kindness to assure the forgotten stran-
ger that one remembers her well, and
to tell the would-be hostess of regrets
and previous engagements that have no
existence?
Mrs. Linton wisely refrains from an

instead to others. She wishes to know

less to the relief OF physicians and their
charges everywhere.
The permitted perjury of smooth
sayings by medical men," she says. is
also one of the things we must accept
and allow for in our code of relative
virtues. Friends and caretakers, and
those dependent on that ebbing life,
may know the truth; but the patients
self must be guarded from knowledge
that can do no good, and may do in
caIculable harm. This does not apply
to those robuster and more virile souls
who desire above all things to know
exactly where they stand. To them the

wish, what they deserve and what they
are fit for. But these are the excep-
lions and the tender are the rule

bitter dishonesty of marriage vows,
she speaks scathingly. The world
knows how things stand" she says,
''but the perjury is among those per-
mitted by the exigencies of society
which fears nothing SO much as the
truth-which will pay in soul and body
for what it conceals by lies and wraps
up in cloudy pretenses.
The conclusion which she finally
reaches is one which is worldly-wise
enough, at any rate.
1T is all a tangle," is the wise wo-
mans verdict. land no human skill can
reel the knotted thread straight and
smooth. The absolute truth would be
impossible, and will be so long as human
nature is as it is. We must have verbal
symbols which are to be taken ale
gorically and not literally and we can
live that single-folded life which is the
dream of all the naturally honest and
sincere. We have to hedge, and deal
as faithfully as may be with our higher
aspirations-checked as they are at
every turn by the baser requirements
of practical life. In deed and in truth
it is all tangle! But we must do the
best we can, and the smaller the corner
of that tract of permitted perjuries we
cultivate the better for us here and the
more hopeful for the hereafter. N. Y.
