A Good Floor Stain.

A good floor stain is composed Of a MKT
ure of unboled or crude linseed oil and
turpentine, half and half, with pint of
Japan dryer to each gallon, to keep the
floor from sickness. Add for cherry a
small quantity of burnt sienna, a little at
a time. trying at each addition, so as to be
certain the stain is not too deep. For Il
yellowish red stain add to the sienna q
tritle of yellow ochre, or raw umber, only
little, remembering that color may be
easily deepaned, but not SO easily reduced
For nice floor go over it when well
dried with "Suprense's'' varnish. When
there are cracks in the flooring make q
stiff paste of part flour with water and
part thickened with newspapers or more
CT the latter than the former. Add to
each quart of the paste two tablespoonfuls
of alum. That makes the substance upon
drying into a hard papier mache. With
caseknife fill all the cracks with this
paste before staining or painting. 1t is as
durable as putty and much cheaper. 1t is
q good plan to color the paste with little
of the sienna or the ochre with which the
floor is tO he stained

A Famous Elm Cut Down.

The famous old elm which for a cen
fury and a quarter stood on Somerville
avenue, at the corner of Central street
Somerville, has been cut down. The
tree was on the line of march when the
British forces retreated from Lexington
1t bore a placard which furnished the in
formation that the tree was planted in
III by Thomas Rand. The exact year
is not known. The erection of building
on the land near the tree, which stood in
the middle of the sidewalk directly in
front of the building, made it necessary
TO remove it. There was opposition, and
it was only after much deliberation by the
city government that the order for the
removal of the tree was passed. Many
souvenir hunters have carried off pieces
of the tree-Boston Transcript.

rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value TO health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

The Earliest Spring Flower.

March brings us the first bloom of the
season, not the prettiest or the most fra
grant, but the first bloom, and a very Gu
rious one it is. In marshy places it comes
out of the ground before the great heart
shaped leaves make their appearance.
This flower belongs to the arum family,
order aracea. 1t is purple and has a four
]eaved calyX, has no stem, but sits low
upon the ground, and has very unpleas-
ant odor, like a skunk, hence its common
name, skunk cabbage. 1t is not an at
tractive herald of the coming beautiful
and fragrant blossoms, but the botanist
and lover of spring flowers is always glad
to see it under the March sky, as he
knows the lovelier blooms will soon be
here, for as April comes softly and tear
fully in she brings a host of favorites.

The Cigarette Cramp,

A new disease has appeared in Europe,
which has been styled smokers cramp It
is very similar in its effects to writer's
cramp, or scrivener's palsy. The disease
is caused by rolling cigarettes with one
hand. For many years it has been COM
mon in Spain, although some smokers
are SO expert as to make a cigarette with
a single twist of the fingers. Since a
law was recently passed in France per-
hitting the manufacture IF handmade
cigarettes large numbers of girls have
been employed in rolling cigarettes by
hand. 1t is among them that the disease
has appeared. In Spain, however, it is
not confined to the cigarette girls, but is
common ailment among the rest of the
population

The idea of having matinee perform

walton introduced by one theatrical man
ager in London. A cause assigned for
its existence over there is that it accom-
modates the suburban resident who may
have the day in town, for shopping or so
cial duties, enjoy the play in addition
and still reach home early in the evening.
Suburban folk, OH this side, have many
of them applauded the 2 o'clock theatrical
performance, because it came in daylight,
and permitted a return home in time for
dinner. 1t is hardly probable that the
change would be regarded with favor.
