Stain and Polish for Floors.

OF all stains and polishes to use for
floors the cheapest and most durable
stain is permanganate of potash. Pour a
quart of boiling water on half an ounce
of permanganate of potash crystals.
Apply this hot to the boards. 1t will
look red at first, but soon becomes a
good brown. See that the boards are
perfectly clean and dry, then with a
large painters brush apply the stain.
When this is dry give a second coating
If necessary. Wash the brush in soft
soap and soda, using plenty of warm
water, dry it and then give the boards
a coat of linseed oil, mixed with good
drying medium. When the oil has dried
in begin polishing with the usual bees
wax and turpentine. Two or three
rubbings with this will be necessary be-
fore good surface is obtained.

A Bright-Eyed Flower BOY.

A London paper says that some time
ago Princess Maud went shopping
strictly incog. While she was walking
along the street she was accosted by a
little street Arab who was the happy
possessor of pair of large, pathetic
brown eyes and tangled crop of curly
brown hair. He was busily engaged in
the absorbing task of earning his living
land, perhaps, some one else's as welD
by retailing fresh spring flowers, pen
ny and tuppence bunch" The princess
stopped by Linn, aud, while choosing
some flowers, she was little startled
by the lad saying, in an excited and
familiar whisper: Its all right, miss,
knows yer" The princess smilingly
shook her head in a denial. Yes, I
do knows yer" (more emphatically).

for the cultivation of cotton in China
is almost limitless as the supply of

what China will be soon one of the

the world and this product will COM

Worlds Low Prices Caused By the Agita-
ton in the United States.
LONDON, August 2l.-The West
minister Gazette in q financial
article, attributes the fall in silver
to the inability of spectators In
the United States to carry silver
purchased with borrowed money,
and to the scarcity Of buyers. 1t
says:
"The quantity Of silver lying
idle in the banks Of China
is large, there being much
less demand for it, owing to
the setback to trade in both China
and Japan, due to the smallness of
purchases Of silk by America and
Europe. What the people are anx-
ious to know Is the amount of sill
yer still carried by spectators in
the United States. The price is
now declining and these figures
may induce more active specula-
ton, both in London and India"

COLORADO FLOODS.
Sudden Rise of Dry Creeks Takes
Towns Unawares.


Denver, Aug. 21.-A great amount
of rain has fallen in Colorado the past
three days, causing heavy floods in
various localities. The principal dam
age has been from railroad washouts,
which have been quickly repaired,
and trains are running regularly on
all lines.
A flood came down Cherry creek
through this city, the bed Of which is
usually almost dry, last night, but
very little damage was done.
At Sunset, In Boulder county, flood
in Four Mile creek washed away the
town. At Holland the placer mines
are ruined for the season. The dams
clear down the Boulder canon are
washed away and the country road is
destroyed.
Without warning, almost, Dry creek
became a raging torrent. A wave at
least six feet high, with huge mass
of trees, stumps, wreckage Of all
kinds, was the forerunner of what
was coming. No loss of life is re-
ported.

ROUND cENTERPIEce.
Description OF Pattern Which Is Very
Popular In France.

Description OF a Pattern Which Is Very
Popular In France.
A design for a round centerpiece that
will work out beautifully is shown in
cut; and while it may seem elaborate
and great deal of work, it is in reality
quite simple pattern to carry out.
AS the ornament is distributed around
the outer edge it lends a pleasing con-
trast to the open center when it is
worked either in outline stitch or solid.
From Is to 20 inches is good size to
make centerpiece Of this design, but
it will not develop well if made small
er than IA or Is inches, as it would
crowd the ornament too much; Is
inches is perhaps the best size, meas
uring from the outer edge of the but
tonholed scallops. The buttonholed
edge is preferred to fringed one, as it
is more durable and launders better.
However, if the fringe be desired, the
scallops may be worked and the linen
fringed up TO them. and after the piece
has been used for awhile and the fringe
begins to show sign of wear, it is an
easy matter to cut it off.
For fine work IL is hardly necessary
10 state that the best quality of round
thread linen is the most satisfactory;
it may be frequently Numbered without
showing the slightest signs of wear,
it is easy TO embroider on, it holds its
shape well, and these are not the only
advantages it holds over other mate
rails as those who have used it already
know, For very fine work, such as
some of these designs suggest, a very
good material may be found in Japan
csc grass linen; it is very fine and thin,
having a surface somewhat like bolt
ing cloth, and its general appearance is
like that of good surah silk. Its great

A HOT WIRE.
An Italian Driver Has an Exciting
Electrical Experience.

An Italian Driver Has an Exciting
Electrical Experience.
An Italian named John Leman, liv-
ing at No. 2124 South Flores street,
had an exciting experience this morn
ing about 1890 o'clock with a hot
span wire of the San Antonio Street
Car company at the corner of Houston
and Soledad streets which he will not
soon forget. He was tagging along in
a covered one-horse wagon, such as
peddlers generally use, when his horse
passed under the wire, which had
broken from its fastenings and was
hanging low over the street. The wire
caught In the names Of the harness.
and as the block having been sprink-
led, and was very slippery, the horse
was jerked of his feet and fell on his
side. The driver got down and took
hold of the wire to lift it Off the horse,
when he executed first-class circus
performance by turning three back
somersaults without stopping. The
wire was slightly charged with cleo
tricity and he received q severe shock.
After he had picked himself up the
horse was taken out Of the shafts and
got on its feet, and the thoroughly
frightened Italian then stood at safe
distance for some time until he had
fully recovered himself, when he
again hitched up his horse and drove
away.
He says he will sue the company for
damages, but there seems to be little
or no damages except to his nervous
system.
