CLEANING FURNITURE.
1t Is Not Good to Use Ordinary Soap and
Water.

| water.
| It is Gu e omary in some households
to wash the furniture with soap and
water. Such method may be entirely
safe when practiced by careful per-
sons. AS the average maid is likely to
treat valued Vernis Martin cabinet
with the same consideration accorded
a common floor, it is well that the use
of soap and water by her in connection
with furniture should be forbidden.
When soap is used for furniture it
should be of the best quality, having
but small amount of alkali in its
composition. and thewater used should
be luke-warm, applied with a soft
cloth and quickly wiped off, particu-
larly from all corners and crevices.
Dark mahogany, which is now so
fashionable, is particularly sensitive to
soap and water, arising from the fact
that the coloring matter which operates
to darken the wood through the action
of light is an acid, so that when the
alkali of the water is permitted to re-
main upon it it will, in reaching the
acid, for which it has affinity, destroy
the polished surface.
Raw linseed oil and spirits of turpen-
tine, in the proportions of two-thirds
oil and one of turpentine, is the model
furniture reviver. 1t is what profess
SIGNALS rely on; as rule they use no
other. The woodwork should be first
carefully wiped off with dry, soft
cloth, and the dust thoroughly removed
from corners and carvings. The best
article to accomplish this is a large
paint brush, usually called a painters
buster. The oil may then be applied
with smaller brush, wiping off with
a soft cloth and rubbing thoroughly
dry. 1t will be found that dents and
scratches lose their prominence under
this treatment; should this method be
pursued regularly there will be no
difficulty experienced in having furni- |
ture retain fresh appearance.
When piece of furniture is very
badly defaced and dented it should be
intrusted to some good repairer, who
may sometimes find it necessary to |
scrape off the old finish entirely. in
order to make satisfactory piece of |
work. When the wood is slightly |
dented one may sometimes overcome /
the trouble by steaming the indenta-
ton with hot iron and a wet cloth. /
sfterward making small pad of mus
in and rubbing over the surface some
hin shellac, just adding touch of oil

Treatment For Wounds.

DR.. Eichler, in the "Aerzt, Prakt, !"
advocates Peru balsam as dressing
which causes lacerated wounds to heal
quickly, its points of adaptation being
that it adheres well and covers the en-
tire surface of the wounds; it has a
drying effect, but stimulates granula-
lions, and following application scab
is formed under which healing goes on.
Dr.. Eichler states that its use is especial
ly indicated in the treatment of wounds
having a tendency to marked suppura-
lion or partial gangrene. and in in
juries of the hands and fingers the re-
suits are excellent. In practice, after
coaptition of the margins of the wound,
the Peru balsam is poured over the en-
tire surface, which is then covered with
thin layers of gauze moistened with
balsam and an ordinary dressing. The
latter may be left in place for several
days. though it is an advantage to re-
move the outer dressing daily and
moisten the gauze with the balsam
without removing it from the wound.

USE OF A FLYING MACHINE.
What May lie Gained by the Perfection of
the Invention.


the Invention.
What important purpose can flight in
air serve? Maxim, Langley and all who
have studied the subject thoroughly
agree that the speed of aeriation will
greatly exceed that of any terrestrial
locomotion.
From this follows an entire economic
change in the direction of rendering i'm
mense tracts of comparatively worthless
territory at distances of 90 to 40 miles
from cities much more available.
There would also result the relegat-
ing of city property in large measure
to business and storage purposes.
This would to n large extent accom-
plish what Henry George signs for, but
would do it by means which do not in
volve any wrong to the land owner by
the wage Garner.
With flying navies capable of carry
ing unseen at night large quantities of
explosives to the center of a city war
would become so destructive that 1t
would be soon supplanted by arbitra-
tion as a matter of common sense and
self preservation.
Arbitration once established, an in
ternational police system controlling ma
lions as we do individuals, and enforc-
ing the DEGREES of boards of arbitration,
would be enormously assisted by this
power of rapid and if necessary destruc-
tive patrolling.
Immense areas of country, now well
nigh impenetrable, would be opened to
usefulness. Large sources of wealth
would thus be added to the civilized
world and would result in the amelio-
ration of the condition Of the savages Of
such regions as central Africa.
We should have to give mp selfish leg
islation and restriction upon the com.
MERGE of other nations, and be Obliged
perforce to island on broader her
itage than that Of a nation or of zone. y
