treatment of Floors for Ruos.

The kygienic advantages of floors

of dust-collecting carpets are so we'll

now is to have bare floors and rugs
for the sake of comfort and convent

blessings that certainly are anything
but disguised, for they always look
WE'LL form a pleasing contrast to any
kind of rugs and above all they are
easy to keep clean. In case, however,
one has an old floor of soft wood that
is hard to treat satisfactorily and the
laying Of a hard wood floor is not pos

be made to look almost as we'll as one

floor stain, one of those especially
prepared, should be used, a light or
medium color being preferable to a

much better than one thick one. After
the stain is put ON the floor may be
oiled or vanished with good results.

Lest We Forget.

1t is good thing to preserve all i'm.

The lost cannot be restored, but all
that still exist may be preserved. We
shall do well to preserve them on

such purposes. Land is valuable for

HE oIsLIkED GEORGE ELIOT.
Autocratic Ways of Famous Authoress
Made an Enemy.

"doS dU CHcfnys
When George Eliot was still Miss
Evans, and before she had begun to
write novels, she used to frequent an
old book shop on the Strand, where
she left very unfavorable impression
on one young man who was at that
time an assistant in John Chapman's
shop. His description of her is that
of remarkably ugly young woman
of universal knowledge, whose delight
it was to use the Socratic method in
conversation, but without the Socratic
benevolence of intention. The result
was that the young men at the dining
table (the shop had a boarding house
for its employees and guests) who
heedlessly haZarded an opinion, were
very soon made to feel not only that
they knew nothing of the subject I'M
der discussion, but that they knew
very little indeed of anything. Now,
young man does not relish being
badgered and made a fool of by a
pretty woman, but it is intolerable to
be sat upon by an ugly one-at least
such was the feeling of our informant,
and one consequence of this treat.

Miss Evans had become George Eliot,

Sowinq Flower Seed.

Those who have flower seeds tc
SOW would find the sowing of them
under glass satisfactory, should they
have the convenience for it. Many OF
these seeds are very fine, and when
sewed outdoors, heavy rains and many
other things interfere with their ger
mination. When under glass it is
nearly always ones own fault If a
crop of seedlings is not raised. Small
boxes. of depth of three inches, with
holes in the bottom, to let drain of
superfluous water are the best to use.
The soil should be fine, made so by
sitting. If necessary, SO that when
the seedlings need transplanting each
plant can be lifted out without great
disturbance Of the others.

Inventions to Make Easier the Lot OF
Housewives.

Housewives.
Scraping particles of food from fine
chinaware is not process Calculated
to improve the dishes, and as an aid
to the housewife, the rubber cleaner
has been invented. 1t is satisfactory
inexpensive and Il practical addition
to the collection of minor utilities
found in the modern household.
Cereals of various kinds are includ-
ed in the dietary of most families and
the safekeeping of these staple articles
of food is a matter of special concern
in we'll regulated households. For
some time past jars and crooks have
been pressed into service and recently
a specific and desirable type of re-
ceptacle made it's appearance. This
holder, fashioned from crystal, is de-
signed particularly for cereals, but it
is available for other dry food stuffs,
and one point especially in its favor
is the arrangement whereby the desir-
ed quantity of cereal or other product
may be extracted without exposing
the contents of the jar to the air or
to danger from dust or insects. Being
transparent, it is possible to tell at a
glance the amount Of food stuff on
hand, and as the accompanying illus
tration shows the holder is slightly as
