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

1t is Gu zomary in some households
to wash the furniture with soap and
water. such a method may be entirely
safe when practiced by careful per-
sons. As the average maid is likely to
treat n valued NcrniS 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 il
should be of the best quality. having
but Il small amount of alkali in its
composition. and the'water 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 parth ularlv 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 r~eviver. 1t is what profess
SIGNALS rely on; as a rule they use nc
other. The woodwork should be first
carefully wiped off with a dry, soft
cloth, and the dust thoroughly removed
from n and carvings. The best
article to accomplish this is a large
paint brush, usually called a painters
buster. The oil may theL be applied
with 4 smaller brush, wiping off with
n 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 a fresh appearance.
When n piece of furniture is very
badly defaccd and denied il should be
intrusted to some good repairer. who
may sometimes find it necessary to
scrape OFF the old finish entirely. in
order to make n satisfactory piece of
work. When the wood is slightly
dented one may sometimes overcome
tie trouble by steaming the indenta-
ton with 4 hot iron and a wei cloth,
afterward making a small pad of mus
lin and rubbing over the surface some
thin shellac, just adding a touch of oil
to make the work easier. Scratches
may be treated in the same way

THE BELATED TRAIN.
Snowbound for Twenty Hours in the
SierraS,

The storm in the mountains was, IN its way,
even more severe than here on the coast. and it
swept around the cTesis of the Sierras, buying
the rugged peaks under many feet OF Clustering
snow, while the wind swirled and whrled
through the canyons piling the drifts almost
mountain high.
The overland train due here at 1O:45 A. NJ.
on Sunday arrived about O'Clock yesterday
morning, eighteen hours late. Tile Train was
snowbound AT BOca. between Reno iand True
kee. and though not in drift Itself, it was
held there for twenty hours until The track
could be cleared.
Among the passengers was ID. A. wilkins. a
at The Palace. and last night ne detailed some
experience Of the unlucky travellers.
"Although our train was mol stuck fast In a
drift. il might as we'll have been," said Mr..
wilkins, "for the snow was piled up all around
u.s. aud then il kept driving down all the time,
as il there was not enough on The grounc for
the people VINO were In search OF more
tropical climate.
IA train of refrigerator cars had gone ahead
OF us and got stuck, and three engines ana Il
snowplow went 10 eXtricate the freight tram.
Que of the engines pulled out the front draw
head, disabling the engine, and all OF them
were compelled TO back down to Boca and take
a fresh start.
..When the track was finally cleared four
locomotives were attached 10 our train, and we
plowed through drifts and pushed our way up
10 tile Summit. The snow was banked up twice
as high as The cars In many places ana the
trees on the mountains were covered so deep
that only the tops OF them were to be seen.
while we were waiting at Boca we found
plenty OF ways TO enjoy ourselves, for W. had a
jolly crowd on board. We chartered bobsled
and the whole party took a sleigh ride, which
every one enjoyed. The railroad people took
good care of Us. and the passengers had loaded
up with provisions at Rrno, anticipating that
we might be snowbound. SO we had plenty
10 eat.
prince Andre Poniatowski was in our party,
and when we got to the summit and everybody
was making grand rush for tie lunch counter,
The Prince was not hiudmos. for he hustled
bis valet out with instruc ions To get some Die
and buns and the valet made a clean sweep of
those comestibes when he reached the lunch
room. But no one suffered. and we arrived
rather proud of having been snowbound for
twenty hours in the Sierras."
