The Leather Of the Eayptlan..


The ancient Egyptlqns were skilled
In the art of tanning leather and man.
ufactured 1t In various ways and for
various purposes besides that of fur

II Is TO these builders Of the pyramids
that we are indebted for the first artis-
TIC ferns Of footwear. and so far as
can be ascertained from history and
the researches Of archaeO!Oglsts. the
Egyptians were the first shoemakers
who were worthy of that name. 1t is
a fact too, that tanners Of today EN-
ploy very much the same methods
as did the ancients. About the same
materials are used, and the processes
are almost precisely similar to those in
vogue hundreds of years ago. II is
true that tanners Of the present day
have found a means Of greatly shorten
ing the time required to convert hide
into leather and that steam power and
modern machinery have done much to
expedite and improve the processes Of
finishing the leather; but, after all. the
principals of tanning remain the same
as they have been from the first

CARE OF THE FLOORS
VARIOUS SUBSTANCES MAY BE
USED FOR POLISHING THEM.
Water Should Be Employed Sparinely
AS II VIII Cause the Wood to
Expand-Oil and Wax Con-
sdered the Best.

II one has been so fortunate as to
secure hardwood floor, the intelligent
care of 1t becomes a very important
matter and one which is not particu-
larly difficult If little thought and
attention are given to the subject.
Various materials are employed for
this purpose, but the processes are all
similar, namely, that of rubbing the
surface with some sort of an oil or
er to apply water to the surface of
nice floor, at least not in sufficient
quantities to wet the fiber of the wood
to any extent, because all wood, even
oak, Is susceptible to moisture and to
the extent to which the fibers expand
they will dry afterwards and gradu-
oily cracks will appear in the boards
something has been spilled on the
floor so that 1t is absolutely necessary
to wash it, this should be done with a
cloth wrung out of water. For the
most part, however, oil and wax in
some form are the proper cleaning
and polishing mediums. 1t is said that
and vinegar. we'll mixed and we'll rub
bed into the floor with cotton or wool
en- rags, is highly successful method
of treating a polished oak floor. The
acid in the vinegar cuts the dirt and
CRIME that works into 1t from shoes,
the sweet oil gives a luster and the
turpentine dries it, There are any
number of articles on the market that
are advertised for this purpose, and
some of them are very effective. In
testing any new brand of wax or other
application 1t is we'll to try 1t first of
all on small portion of the floor In
some inconspicuous part of the room.
A weighted brush is a great advan-
tage, though more or less expensive.
A piece of plank covered with Brus-
sells carpet is not bad substitute
The above-named mixture does not
need to be applied to the floor oftener
than once a month, and about once
year a coat of good floor wax should
be well rubbed into the floor.
The application of varnish to a hard
wood floor is a modern method of fin
ishing. The old-time method being
that of rubbing them with wax, and
very beautiful surface may be thus
produced, provided the floor has first
had thorough coating with paste
filler which fills up every pore and
crack and makes a perfectly smooth
surface.
