there is no abatement of the war fever
and the conflict which everyone believes
TO be imminent with the Yankees con-
stitutes the all-absorbing topic of ccn-

as TO whether the diplomatic dinner at
the American legation in honor of Senior
Bernabe, the new envoy to Washington,
will take place or not. Even If 1t does
take place that will not mean that there
is any improvement in the resolutions be-

Hiuistcr Woodford in sending out invita-
tiOnS for the dinner has excited Il certain
amount Of respect and consideration. and
there is no doubt that, although Gen.
Woodford does not talk the language, he

How to Clean Floors.

Clean the Floor. Prepare paper and
paste putty, by soaking newspapers
in paste made of wheat or rye flour
and warm water and ground or
powdered alum thus: To one pound
of -four add three quarts of water and
a teaspoonful of powdered alum; mix
we'll. Then coat the floor after all
the cracks are filled and smooth with
q warm flatiron, and over the thin and
smooth coating evenly and smoothly
lay coating Of MANILA paper. When
dry, if desired, by means of a clean
whitewash, brush again, paste the
floor and repeat as before. When
again dry, cover the floor with care
with any style of wallpaper to suit
the taste. If a hall, marbled paper
looks we'll if smooth. When thor
oughly dry, cover the floor again with
two or three coats of sizing, always
permitting each coat to become per-
fectly dry. By this means the work
performed in making the flooring is
not tedious or laborious. The sizing
is made by dissolving half a pound of
white glue in two quarts of hot water,
and when dry, apply coat of hard
oil finish varnish. This makes a
warm, smooth, beautiful floor, swept
and cleaned by dampened broom
cover. A broom-cover is cut and
made to button around the broom
and being longer than the broom,
forms an admirable wiper for the
walls and floor, as it can be detached
for washing when dirty. Canton
flannel, white or brown, forms the
best and cheapest material.
