Fashions change in canes, as they

fashionable trade. Last year our Gus
toners were calling for rough wood in
Its natural state. without any orna-
m%sntation. They wanted canes made
almost as thin and as light as whan-
gees. So many cheap limitations had
been made Of silver-mounted smooth
wood canes that men Of fashion would
not look at them. This year We are
returning to silver mounts, but in de-
signs made to order that 1t will be
almost out of the question for i'm
porters Of cheap German silver to imi-
tate. In umbrellas the large handles
Of rough wood still hold favor with
the men. It is no longer fashionable
to decorate them with initials. A man
likes an umbrella that he can pick out
at sight from a bunch Of others at
his club or elsewhere. Some men will
have the crooked handle SO that they
can hang their umbrellas on o hook
In a hat rack, and we have to manu-
facture o few Of them to meet the
demands Of the trade. Women always

CARE OF THE FLOOR

Floor borders should not be stained
hurriedly. Do not apply a thick
coating. Two or three thin coatings
give much better results than one
They should be applied carefully with
the grain Of the wood, letting each
dry before another is applied. After
the coats are dry the floor should be
vanished and then carefully waxed,
the wax being rubbed on with a piece
of chamois leather. Daily busting
and a weekly rubbing with a little
parafin will keep the floor in good
order.
Painted floor borders should be
given two coats of paint end one OF
varnish, and they need a daily dust
ing and a wiping oyer with oil once
a week.
Other coverings for floor borders
are India and China mattings in
simple designs. These are especially
suited for bedrooms, morning rooms
and boudiors. These mattings are dur
able and can be had to match any color
Of rug-although the plain mattings
are the prettiest in contrast to the
figured rugs. Carpets for sunny
rooms should be chosen with a view to
the durability Of the dye. The cheaper
japanese makes of carpets and rugs
and the art square and similar makes
fade quickly and should not be ex-
posed to the suns rays. Carpets can
be kept fresh and their colors bright Dy

Evidently some move has been made
by the women Of India to throw on
the yokes and wells which have bound
them to customs centuries old. Else
why should the newspapers Of that
country be protesting against the man
ners and habits of European women
as they were revealed during the DUR
bar? Very Indignantly these sheets
arraign the ladies who visit them
for giving the entire attention to their
souls to dress and proving disagree
able to their husbands. But we doubt
lie the high moral ground taken by
these journals will avail to keep In
dian women stationery forever along
the lines laid down for them; even

coup is a masterpiece in its way. 1t
was executed in two fits. First the
King revoked the Constitution of 1901,
dissolved the Legislative Assembly
and repealed all the avs enacted by
that body to limit the powers of the
sovereign; by a second proclamation
Alexander re-enacted the laws on the
royal prerogatiyes as they existed

it's former validity. The proceedings
