Pnlish For Wood Floors.

An authority on such matters says that for the floor the best possible finish is priminG of raw linseed oil and Ja- pan drierS. rubbed of after an hour or so, and left to dry. Then shellac and polish with a wax finish, which is wax dissolved in boiling turpentine spirits and can be bought ready for use. The hall floor will be required to withstand considerable wear, and nothing can ex- eel wax for this purpose. When neces- sary. any strong pair of arms is capable of renewing the polish.
