Stains.
The staining OF woods before filling
and vanishing is very common, some
times properly, to 'darken and improve
the natural color, but more often to i'm
itate the finer and more costly woods by
the use of that which is comparatively
inexpensive and common. Such imita
tons always look cheap" while there
is nothing SO beautiful as the naturally
fine grain of many of our best woods
Both water and oil stains of all de-
sired colors, and for all kinds of wood
are manufactured by the company men,
toned above, and sold by their agents
in all the large cities of the country
ly used, not only because of their cheap
ness, but because OF their penetrating
and rapidly drying qualities. The OBJ
lection TO their use is that they roughen
and raise the grain of the wood, making
ii necessary TO sandpaper it smooth be
fore the filler or varnish can be applied,
and this sandpapering, unless done by an
expert, will cause the coloring to be un-
even and often expose the bare wood on
corners and projections. For this rea-
son the oil stains are more and more
coming into use, as they neither raise
the grain nor roughen the surface.
Stains for Oak.
Oak is usually colored by mixing the
coloring material with the filler It's
grain is so open that il can be easily col
ored in this way, and filters of any color
may be bought for this purpose already
mixed. II an especially fine bright color
is desired, as in some OF the shades of
golden oak" ii is necessary to first
stain the oak with an oil stain "a golden
oak oil stain is used for this purpose)
which after drying for six to eight min
utes only, is rubbed of with soft cloth.
This rubs the stain into the open grain
of the wood and cleans ii off from all the
hard CLASSY glints, making beautiful
contrast which can be produced ia no
other way. When rubbed off clean and
smooth the oil stain must be allowed to
dry for twentyfour, or, better, for forty
eight hours, before the filler is applied
All stains are put on with brush. and
must be used before filing and varnish-

made of pure silica crushed and ground
in oil, TO which dryers are added, so
that when properly applied it fills and
becomes very hard in the open grain of
the wood.
Filler is in the form of paste, and can
be bought in small cans. 1t must be
thinned with turpentine to the consist
ency of paint, when it is easily applied
with brush. 1t should be brushed on
so as to cover the surface well, and al
lowed to dry only until it begins to turn
gray in color, usually in about ten min
utes, when it must be rubbed off imme-
diately, rubbing first with very coarse
cloth across the grain, thus rubbing the
filler into the open pores. When well
rubbed in, finish with Glen cloth, rub

very thin, at least one part OF turpen-
tine to two parts OF oil. Brush on all

to dry at least twentyfour hours.
For white maple, fine mahogany, and
even for cherry, two coats Of white grain

foundation for the varnish, but is lit

after drying for the same length OF time
as the first. is again sandpapered

natural color of the wood. and keeps the
darker colored varnish from penetrat-

Shellac. being a spirit varnish, will
seem TO be dry in an hour from the time
It is applied, but the alcohol only has
evaporated, leaving the gum which will

stated above. When a coat of shellac var

FOOTBALL IN 1893.
Game Was Hardly as Strenuous as
That of To-Day-Played in Flor
ence with 81 on q Side.

Could the youths. of Florence, who
played football in that city nearly 500
years ago. rise from their graves they
would be Mortified to see the clothes in
which the game is played to-day. To
quote from the rules of that date:
The dresses of the players must be
as light and convenient as possible, be-
cause the less impeachment they offer the
more easily the men can move and the
more agile will be their limbs"
When calico was played in costume
the players assembled at the house of
one of the principal mobiles of the city,
and the best men were carefully select
ed. The day was fixed and the notice
of il posted. Then two Of the best
known and important young men would
be selected as standard bearers, and on
the appointed day each Of these would
invite all the men on his side to a feast.
After this the players started for the
field, with the standard bearers and
trumpeters.
The rules of the game were rather
complicated, but interesting. None but
gentlemen and honored soldiers or
nobles might take part; no artisan
servants, Infamous or common persons
were permitted
The general number Of players was 81
on each side, though the number might
be more or less. The game was played
in an open square, around which was
barrier or railing.
When, at the sound of the trumpets.
the game was ordered TO begin, all
servants and persons who had no right
there were sent off the field and could
not come inside the railing.
At each end of the field there was
goal over which the ball was to be
kicked. There were six judges, three
for each side, chosen from men who
had been famous players, who sat in
high place where they could overlook
the field.
The 81 players were divided into is
runners, who were placed in 'front.' five
"sconciatori." who tried to impede the
runners; four half-backs and three
backs.
When the players had taken their
places, the ''pallio," SO called because
be carried the palla, or ball, dressed in
a costume made of the colors of the
two sides, threw the ball against mar
BILE tablet on the wall. As it bounced
back among the players the runners
ran 10 push and kick it toward the goal.
The game was won by the side that
made the greatest number of goals.
Whenever a goal or fault was made the
sides exchanged places and the VIC
torious ones carried the banner and
marched around the pavilion at the op-
posite side, the conquered party being
required to lower its banner.
The rules as to politeness and dignity
were many and strict, and the old book
Of rules drawn up in the sixteenth CEN
fury has a long chapter on the general
conduct of players.
1t speaks in the highest praise of the
young men who will not let envy,
malice OF any other passion" make
them rough or inclined to retaliate
fercely If they have been injured by
mistake.
The game ended when the clock struck

was about sunset. IN. Y. Herald.

Wood Filler.
Another method, and one in more gen
eral use, is to fill the grain of the wood
with wood filler.

only advantage obtained from their use
