POLISHED FLOORS.
The Boards should He Prepared Before
They Are Laid.


They Are Laid.
To secure perfectly-polished floor
the work must be begun on the ma
terial before putting down. The boards
should be thoroughly kiln-dried and
then gone over with two or three coats
of linseed oil, applied when at the boil
ing point. If the boards are put into
the kiln between applications anil
dried, so much the better. They may
then be put down with reasonable con-
tidence that every little bit of dampness
will not swell or warp them out o..
shape. If boards are not so treated be,
fore putting down it will be necessary
to be careful about splitting water on
them, as they will almost certainly
spring up, and may warp entirely out
of control. The hot oil put on while
the boards are in the raw state pene-
trates them evenly all over, and there
are no exposed places where moisture
can creep in.
Floors that have been put down be-
fore being treated must be smoothed
and all cracks and nail holes filled with
putty, in which very little plaster OF
paris is mixed. Three or four coats
of boiling oil will be the best body for
any polish to be applied. Some work;
men use what is called a wood-flller, .
substance that is readily absorbed into
the grain of the wood and makes it hard
and firm. III n special color is required
n liquid stain without oil or spirit
should be first applied. This is better il
put on very hot, as it sinks into the
wood better and is much more durable
1t should be laid on very rapidly and
smoothly with wide, thick brush and
with strokes lengthwise of the boards
Ample time must be given for this to
dry before any other coat is applied;
then, when thoroughly dry, put on hot
Gil, allowing it to settle into the wood
before n second coat is laid on.
There are prepared polishes that may
be had of dealers in paints and oils, and
these are often used without prepaT-
atory treatment. This, however, does
not give as fine finish as when the
boards are first treated. Some dec.
orators color the boards before put

ing, very durable. If possible they

an oil polish is applied. If they could
be left for several weeks they would
be very much better, but this is rarely
possible, except it be done just before

Novel Method of Destroying Farm Pests
In Vogue In Kansas
The business of exchanging sick bugs
for we'll ones is to be conducted on
larger scale this year. Prof. Frank II.
Snow, chancellor of the State Universe
ty of Kansas, is in charge of it with an
appropriation from the legislature to
back him. Just now he is getting into
order his hospital for insects, in which
the latter are treated, not for the pur'
pose of curing them of anything, but to
inoculate them artificially with horri-
BILE diseases.
During the coming summer anybody
who chooses to send a healthy chinch
bug to Pref. Snow will receive from
him in return diseased specimen of
the same species. Last season consign-
mcnts of sick insects were forwarded
to 5000 farmers in Kansas alone, and
packages of them were shipped by ex-
press to various localities in eight other
states. The recipients scattered the
bugs in their fields, the object being
to spread n plague among the chinch
bugs that were damaging the crops.
This is new idea. The theory that
some of the most injurious INSECTS
may be kept in check by spreading
diseases among then, artificially is be-
ing applied by practical experiments
in Europe as well as in this country.
Prof. Shows work in this direction has
been attended with much success, the
destructive chinch bug being well-nigh
annihilated over whole districts by his
patent plague. His dsease-breeding
hospital is on plans of his own, involy-
ing the use of very elaborate apparatus.
The material of infection is placed in
small glass Jars together with few
healthy bugs. The latter, wher. they
become sick, are transferred to large
shallow boxes. In these boxes healthy
bugs are put as fast as they are re-
ceived, and from them is obtained a
constant supply of dying and dead in
sects for shipment to those who want
them.
To maintain the supply Prof. Snow
requires that every person asking for
diseased bugs shall send an equal num-
Der of healthy ones. Some of the spe-
cimens forwarded from the infirmary
are. to all outward appearances, well
and happy, but they have been exposed
to infection, and the deadly germs are
already beginning to multiply inside
OF their bodies. After a bit they will
sicl>en and die, the corpse of each one
being enveloped in shroud of white
mold. Did you ever see dead fly at
tached to a window pane by a network
of whitish gossamer filaments? 1t is
a case exactly similar; the fly has died
of fungus disease. The ailment com
municated to the chinch bugs by Prof.
Snow is fungus, the fruiting of which
makes the winding sheet that eventual
ly envelops the victim.-Boston Tran

A GOOD EPIscOPALIAN.


 J. Pierpent Morgan and His Church
 Attendance anA Student Day.
 J. Pierpont Morgah, the great fnan- eial magnate, is one ofthe wardens of St. Georges Protestant Episcopal church in New York, and when in the big city he invariably passes the plate during the offertory The seats in this church being absolutely free, the noted banker takes his chances with the rest, and frequently after he has secured a seat we'll forward he gives it I'D to strangers and contents himself with a seat near the door To persons who have encountered MT. Morgan's brusque business way in his office, his affability and gentleness in church are 8 revelation. MT. Mergan's presence at the last annual gathering and conn., rnencement of the Episcopal academy at Cheshire, Conn, was source of great pleasure to the assembled alum nj, and the distinguished financier en- tered into the happiness of the occasion with almost youthful exuberance. He attended the school at Cheshire in his boyhood days and always has warm spot in his heart for his romances of student days at the old academy.
