the Persians are not fond OF bright
color; they generally use subdued and
harmonious tints and this fact will
help the amateur TO distinguish be-

oriental rugs: and another point OF DIFF

finer in texture. both because inner

weaving more knots OF wool are tied

to wipe over the face of the rugs now

THE CARE on HARDWOOD FLOORS AND ORNAMENTAL RUGS

cleaning IL should be rubbed over with
a cloth slightly .dampened with kero-
sene, or with one of the cleaning
fluids sold for the purpose. then poll
ished with the weighted brush
Sometimes oiled floors are preferred
to those with the waxed finish for the
reason that they do not spot when
water is spilled upon them. On the
whole they are very satisfactory, al
though they are not quite as lustrous
and rich in tone as the waxed floors.
For an oiled floor use boiled linseed
oil, and apply 1t hot, so that it will
sink into the grain of the wood. then
rub it in we'll with a stiff brush or a
wooden cloth. This should be done
weekly until the floor is we'll seasoned
with the oil, probably about four or
five times; and then once In two
months or so will be sufficient When
the floor requires washing SKINNED
milk should be used.
Here on the coast. oregon pine is the
wood Of which most of the floors are
made, and though 1t is not. strictly
speaking, a hard wood. it is enough so
to make an excellent floor; oftentfmes
oak is used. and occasionally for very
fine floors, when just a certain color
scheme is wanted, teakwood is en-
ployed; this has a natural oil which
preserves 1t and makes 1t very durable,
but 1t is too dark as well as too ex-
pensive for general use.
With these beautiful polished woods
serving as backgrounds, the rich and
soft colors of the oriental rugs show to
the best advantage. When we tread
across these lovely products of the
infinite patience of the east, we do not
realize that they are something more
than beautiful color schemes, that each
of them is a written page and into the
mazes of their design a symbol Ian
guage Is woven. Every color used has
it's Significance, and the whole pattern
contains a hidden meaning which stu
dents of the orient can decipher for
us. but it Is a curious fact that these
signs have been accepted by the weav-
ers themselves for SO many genera
tdons as mere technical traditions OF

There is only one way in which mat
ting can be put down so as TO be sani-
tary: II must first have all its
breadths put together like carpet and
it's edges doubled under and hemmed
nat, then small brass rings must be
sewed at two inch intervals on the
under side all around, about half an
inch from the edges, and smooth
headed tacks placed in the floor half
an inch out from the walls. with their
heads projecting a little so that the
rings can be slipped over them. Ar
ranged in this way it is an easy mat
ter TO take up the mating once a week
and have IL shaken out of doors. while
the bare floor is swept and mopped up
with water to which a little carbolic
acid has been added.
All this, however calls for a great
deal more labor than TO care for hard
wood floors. and although some people
object TO wood floors on the score that
they are cold and cherries in winter.
this is a fault that can very easily be
cured by simply spreading plenty of
rugs over them-large rugs. or num-
Der Of smaller ones if their greater

boards. as there are sometimes even in
new floors, these should be filed with
one of the preparations that come for
the purpose: and if the surface of the
floor is at all rough or uneven 1T can
be rubbed down with steel wool, which
is sold at paint shops by the pound
When the floor has been made per-
fectly smooth and clean and dry it is
ready for the wax finish; but first II
the natural color of the wood is not
just what you want, an alcohol strain
or wood dye can be applied; this sinks
in and is absorbed so thoroughly that
the grain OF the wood is not concealed
by 1t. After each process the floor
should be allowed to dry thoroughly
before further treatment This is
very important point and failure to re-
member it is often the cause of poor
results.
Then give the floor thin coat of
prepared wax, putting it on with a
wooden cloth and taking care not to
use too much. Let this dry for 10
minutes, then rub it in with a weighted
floor brush. first across the grain and
then with it After an hour or two
apply another thin coating of wax and
rub this in in the same way; then put
a piece of carpet under the brush and
give the floor final polishing. A waxed
floor will only have TO be rewaxed on
the parts where there is the most
wear, every two or three weeks, and
the entire surface will not need wax
ing oftener than once or twice in six
months.
1t is a good plan to make covers
of canton flannel to slip over the wide
unweighted floor brush for the daily
cleaning; these can be removed and
washed whenever necessary. Polish
ing is not at all a formidable process
but is done by simply sliding the
weighted brush to and fro over the
floor a few times. These weighted
brushes are rather expensive, but they
save so much work that they soon
pay for themselves. Dark spots made
by water can be removed by carefully
applying diluted oxalic acid, and when
the floor looks dull and appears to need
