Vanished Floors.

When vanished floors have be-
come blackened in spots and there
arc numerous heel marks, they need
a standing finish, and must be treated
with extreme measures. The old fin
ish must be first removed, and when
the floor is revarnished see that the
liquid is of good quality, and that
several coats are given. A waXed floor
needs only another coat of wax and
thorough polishing. Grease spots
can often be removed with turpentine.
1t is best. to remove spots from rugs
or carpets as soon as they are made.
Spots made by sticky substances may
be removed" by sponging them with
alcohol and salt. a pint of alcohol to
a teaspoonful of salt. Grease or oil
spots should be. covered with wet full
ler's earth, and allowed to stand for
two days and then brushed off.
French chalk will remove fresh grease
spots. Cover the spots well, then
spread a brown paper over them and
apply a moderately hot iron.-New

When mahogany furniture is in a

the best one. After this is done, eth

filed in with colored wax. White
enamelled furniture may be cleaned
with cloth dampened in warm wat

At the end it should be thoroughly
rubbed dry. with soft cloth. Gilt
furniture and gilt frames may be
cleaned with a paste made ofiwhiting
and alcohol. This should be rubbed
off before it hardens. Natural-col-

with a brush and yarn soap suds.

Pretty Finger Nails.

To have pretty finger nails it is
necessary to keep them properly man
icured. The nails should be fled in
curve which. follows the shape of the
end of the finger. After the nails
have been filed the finger tips should
be held in hot, soapy water until the
cuticle is soft, when it may be easily
pushed back from the nail by means
of an orangewood stick. To give the
nails a delicate rose tint they should
be polished by applying some good
ointment or powder. In the interest
of pretty nails it is q good habit to
rub cold cream into the cuticle every
nignt, always rubbing the cuticle
away from the nails. Another little
habit is to always, when drying the
hands, rub the cuticle back with the
towel. These little habits help ma
terially to keep the nails in order and
greatly tighten the weekly manicure
