How to Care For
Polished Floors.

The woman who is fond of rugs and
polished floors, with the assistance OF
the hired girl, can impart TO the library
boards as fine a polish as the high pric-
ed man from the shop.
First the boards must be planed
smooth and the cracks filled in care
fully with putty. The floor having been
made ready and a smooth surface Sc
cured. it must be thoroughly scrubbed
and left TO dry
When the floor has dried, treat 1T
with two coats of size which must be
applied carefully. as the effect OF the
entire work depends largely upon this.
An ordinary oak stain may be used,
light or dark, as desired followed by a
coat of varnish put on with fiat brush.
The varnish must not be applied until
the stain is dry. The yarnish should
be mixed with a quick drier. which
some painter or decorator will prepare.
Another method which may be used
with smooth boards is TO apply two
coats of dark oak stain after the floor
has been scrubbed and dried and then
polish. The following polish can be
used on any stained floor:
To make IL melt beeswax over the
fire. stirring some turpentine into IL.
When the mixture is of the consistency
OF stiff paste put il into a stone jar.
Apply a little OF this while warm with
a firm, smooth, dry scrubbing brush.
which should be kept for the purpose.
The floor is TO be rubbed briskly as
IL polishing boots, taking an arms
length at a time from the corner where
the work is begun.
A floor polished i'm this way needs re-
treatment once in three or four weeks.
This mixture. which is used abroad TO
polish floors, is a great labor saver and
brings desired results much sooner than
any other method. American women
sometimes improvise one OF these by
covering brick with carpet and Sc
curing II 20 mop handle and apply
ing the polish TO one side of the brick.

A Recent Fad introduced
bu a Native Of Japan.
Technique Of The
New Art.

The latest fad is the adoption Of the
Japanese method of arranging flowers
used in household decoration.
The japanese have taught the west
ern world many things and, according
To Sir Edwin Arnold and other admirers
of the race. might with advantage teach
IL many more. A new prophet has come
out of the orient, and his mission is to
Instruct the occident in the science and
art OF floral decoration name Is
Tanosuke, and after he has enlightened
the women of London he thinks his
next mission will be to the women of
America Their appreciation of flowers,
according TO the prophet. Is sordid and
based upon the dollar per dozen princi-
pic. Mr.. Tanosuke can take cent
azalea and vase and compose a thrill
ing floral symphony. Whether the SYM
phony will ever appeal to the western
eye with quite the respect that a ten
bushel effect of American Beauty roses
at $40 per dozen engenders is another
question.
II may be honestly said for this Jap
anese aesthetic that his labors are based
upon conviction. In japan the ar
rangement of flowers is O special study,
and the educated classes learn IL just
as the highly finished young woman
In America is taught department or how
To play upon the piano. The smallest
details OF flower gathering. flower cut
ting. flower arrangement, the character
OF tho vase or bowl in which they are
to be placed and their location in the
room are matters OF the utmost impor-
tance TO cultured Japanese. Trad-
tion has laid down rules which must be
followed in preparing the flowers and
which Grc as unvarying as the laws Of
the Modes and Persians In Japan flow

looked upon as little short OF n religious
