Hardwood Floors.

The use Of hardwood floors, with
rugs as a substitute for carpets, is an
idea which is rapidly winning favor
in this country. Hardwood floors
Nmd rugs are superior to carpets from
a sanitary point OF view, says the
Carpet ana Upholstery Trade Review
They prevent the accumulation of
dust and deposit Of matter in the
cracks and cretices of the under
floor. The method OF cleaning par
Quetry floors is also more healthful
La the Sweepimgs Of carpets the dust
is brushed through and into the fab
ric. or is carried into the air to he
f1sally deposited upon every article
in the room. But in cleaning the
polished hardwood it is wiped over
with al damp cloth. and it is there
fore. not necessary to do the amount
OF dusting which must always be
done after carpethas been swept.
A house provided with hardwood
floors and with rugs for the colder
months does not need the semi-an-
nual cleaning with all it's "terrors. !"
1T is clearly and healthful at all
times OF the year.

Fox and Cromwell.

One day Fox, riding into town
from Kingston, caught sight of Crom-
wells coach near Hyde Park and
pushed toward it. The guards would
have driven him back, but the Pro
tector recognized him and shouted to
let him pass.
Tie two men talked together earn
cstly till they reached st. James,
when they parted with Il promise
from Fox to attend next day at
Whitehall. Il can give you good
news" laughed the Protector to one
OF his wife'S maids as he entered the
palace: "Mr. Fox is come TO town.
When they met next day, the stern
old warrior was in one OF those play
full moods into which, as troubles
thickened about him, he less and less
frequently lapscd.
Seated carelessly upon the edge OF
a table he bantered the Quaker UNI
ceasingly, and dismissed him with
the laughing, but extremely true,
reflection that his selfsatisfaction
was by no means the least part OF
him.
A year or so later Fox saw him for
the last time. He met him riding
into Hampton. Before I came to
him." he writes, cas- he rode at the
head Of his Life Guards, | saw and
felt a waft'Of death go forth against
him." A few nights later, while a
terrific storm was raging over Lon
dom, THE strong spirit passed away.
