Care Of Hardwood Floors.

A housekeeper who is noted for her
neatness says that a wood floor in the
house is as much care as a baby. This
is no doubt true, and yet a little stten-
ton systematically given the floor each
day is productive OF marvellous good re-
rults. A flannel bag made to slip over
the bristles of broom makes an excel
lent and convenient polisher. The wood
floor should be swepteach morningwith
this fannel-covered broom, and twice
q week it should be carefully oiled. If
the floor is hard wood use linseed oil.
while If it is stained or painted the in
expensive crude oil will answer just AZ
well. 1t should be rubbed upon the floor
with cheese cloth rather than flannel
TO avoid the lint scattered over the floor.
To deep-stained or vanished floor
light-wipe frequently with solution
of milk and water.

Her house, she says, is no bigger than
a minute, with dining-room window
opening on series of clean but ugly
backyards, where neighbors will hang
out their Monday wash, so she consult
ed a nice florist around the corner. The
suggestion was to put off the Disagree
able view by an arrangement of plants,
and the bill must needs be extremely
modest.
This is what the florist did for the
small consideration of So: He took out
the lower sash of the window entirely
and fastened outside the sill deep zinc
box, measuring IN feet on all sides. 1t
was supported by iron brackets ON the
outside wall beneath the window and
then with four squares of skylight
glass, the sort that is near an inch thick
and a cloudy pale green in tint, he put
a slanting roof and sides over the zinc
box. reaching from its outer edges to
the bottom Of the windows upper sash.
This done, the boz was filled with earth
and planted with cheap hardy ferns,
bedded down with lycopodium and
given color and fragrance by adding =
few 1nignonette and cyclamen plants.
It was when finished an ideal little
conservatory, that she framed in by
drawing the shade down to level with
the lower end of the top sash and loop
ing back her white lace curtains,
Through the heavy glass the autumn
sun shines with just sufficient energy
to keep the plants in good health and
the proper temperature. Its proud
owner satisfies her horticultural tastes
by spraying the leaves once every "a
hours from florists bulb. AL day the
cool green nook and the heavy glass
shut off the back yards effectually and
at night the drawn shade shelters the
sensitive plants from artificial light.
There j. no reason on the whole why
every city or country house in winter,
she thinks, should not have one such
window box to every living room. The
chief expense is their building, for the
zinc box and glass are the costly items
but clever brother or husband can put
them together in the proper shape, and
the hardy ferns, lycopodium, etc., cost
very little at any florists; dollar and
half well laid out will plant the box

CLEvELAND'S MESSAGE.
Historical Nature Of the Chief Executive
Financial Document.

Hysterical Nature of the Chief Executives
Financial Document.
It was inevitable that Mr.. Cleveland's
hysterical message to congress in refer
cnce to the financial situation should
have provoked widespread amazement.
in the first place, he must have known,
if he has the least bit of perspicasity,
that his message on the Venezuelan
question would produce just the condi-
ton of alarm in financial and business
circles which followed upon its publica-
ton. In the second place, it is incredi-
BILE that he should not have realized
that such panicky appeal as he makes
to congress in the second message would
greatly increase the gravity Of the stu
alton. Why, if the financial perils are
as great rs he represents them to be,
did he not invite quiet conference of
leaders Of both parties with men emf
nent in finance, for the purpose of de-
vising some solution of the difficulty
which could have been carried into eff
feet without excitement or disturb
ance? The New York World states the
Precise truth when it says that: "In-
terpreted in plain English, the presi.
dents message asks congress to forego
it's holiday recess in order to rescue the
finances of the country from situation
which his own folly has rendered
acute"
But, unwise as the presidents action
IS, congress cannot afford to ignore the
situation. 1t should at once pass a rev.
elue bill along the lines Of protection
for American interests and send it to
the president, leaving with him the re.
sponsibility of approving or rejecting
it. and so ending or prolonging the ex.
listing season of perplexity."-Leslie's
Weekly.

The prettiest little conservatory built
in q long time was made for semi
invalid who is very fond of flowers and
tried to experiment with orchids and
palms. One long window of her bed
room she had cleared of sash and blinds
and a circular shelf or bow window
built out from the sill on brackets about
three feet long and three wide. Then
in a wooden frame she had the open
window inclosed like a bay, glazed with
regular window glass.
The materials and carpenters work
cost her SIS, and when it was finished
she began to buy any orchids, large OF
small, that could thrive indoors. Her
purchases ran chiefly to cattleyas and
the yellow butterfly variety, that as
healthy plants in boxes cost her from u
cents to twice that sum. These she
hung by cords Of, varying length from
the roof of her conservatory, and fol
So apiece she bought half dozen small
rubber plants and thriving LITTLE

REVENUE NEEDED.


Consress Handicapped By the Presidents
laundering.
Some republicans in congress have
been reported anxious to avoid any &C.
ton on the tariff question this year,
on the ground that the people do cot
want 1t, which il conspicuously errone-
GUS, and on the ground that no such
bill as ought to be passed will be
signed by the president, which is an
assumption contradicted in direct and
positive terms by the declaration in
his annual message, ~ desire to assure
the congress that am prepared to CO.
operate with them in perfecting any
other measure promising thorough and
practical relief" in place of the remedy
he had suggested. But If the members
Of congress put no faith in the presi-
dents word, and really believed that
they could have a do-nothing session,
for any reason deemed important by
them, they must have been undeceived
by later events.
The outgo Of gold was partly arti-
fetal, but also partly the legitimate
result Of trade conditions. The presi-
dents message, no matter what it's mo-
tive, has made it impossible for con-
gress. in the discharge Of its duty, to
refuse or neglect such a change OF the
revenue laws as will check importa-
tions Of merchandise and exports of
gold, and strengthen public confidence
by substituting certainty of surplus
for certainty of q deficit. 1t would be
possible, perhaps, for democratic
congress to shirk q duty SO imperative
and plain, but not for republican
congress, and Speaker Reeds selection
Of committees makes it evident that
he sees the peril, and will not be in any
degree responsible for it. When the
house acts, senators will have TO take
the responsibility upon themselves, OF
else place it upon the president.
1t is folly 10 suppose that a tariff
which has caused imports of merchan.
disc in II months to exceed in largely
fraudulent invoiced value $739, 600, 900
and in actual value probably more than
$500, 900, against exports of $732,

sEcRErARY cARLlsLE,sFIouREs

Erroneous Calculations of the Democrats
Treasurer.
: tits matter for regret that Secretary
Carlisle is 30 much given to making
treasury estimates which do not bear
the test of common sense or of time.
Not once since he assumed direction OF
the treasury department has he made q
guess coming any where near the gov
eminent receipts and expenditures. A
year ago he placed the surplus for the
fiscal year 1896 at $2s, OOo, 900. Now, after
5A months of that year have passed,
he admits that there will be deficit
of $17,00O,O0O. Here is a difference Of
$45,000,00O in his views, and in order to
keep it down to that figure there will
have to be radical improvement during
the remaining months. The deficit to
date this year is $40, $50, 442, or an aver
age of more than So, 000, 900 each month.
In order to come up to the secretary's
statement, the next months must
show an average monthly surplus of
more than 100000. Not fact or q
figure either in Secretary Carlisle's re-
port OF in the revenue returns or pros
poets, offers any hope for such change.
In only two months since the demo-
cratic tariff went into effect has there
been surplus, and it is not reasonable
to expect change SO immediate and 30
radical rs the secretary predicts.
These wild estimates by the head OF
the treasury department are far-reach.
ing in their effect. They create the i'm.
preston that he does not know what he
ia doing, and this distrust of the treas
ury management contributes directly to
the demand for gold and the shrinking
of the reserve. In the beginning the
people had none too much confidence in
democratic financial wisdom, and Sec.
rotary Carlisle has done his best to in
crease that feeling. Couple with his
laundering the administration TRADES
against the greenbacks and we have one
of the chief reasons for the constant
drain upon the gold reserve. No doubt
many accept the presidents views as
final, and therefore make haste to gc'
rid of the currency he so despises.
There may be need for some measure
of currency reform in order to keep thu
