The Exnense of a Wife.

\ wife is q decided addition 10 the demands upon ones purse. In that sense. however sensible and managing she may be, she Is expensive. But everything worth having has it's price of one so1 or another, and there are some thins~ which cost much without which fife is hardly worth living.
 Said Thiers: Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry They think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures. Later on. when they discover that they cannot do so. and at the same time they lack the means to indulge, they complain that 1t is the extravaganza of their wives which causes the incon- Venience."
 Which wise saying is applicable to men in other countries besides that of Franee.-New York American.

CARE OF THE FLOORS
VARIOUS SUBSTANCES MAY BE
USED FOR POLISHING THEM.
Water Should Be Employed sparingiy.
As II Will Cause the Wood to
Expand-OlI and Wax Con-
sidered 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 partcu-
larly diflcult II a 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
wax In general. it is a safe rule new
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 fbers expand
they viii dry afterwards and gradu-
ally cracks will appear in the boards.
II 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
equal parts of sweet OIL turpentine
and vinegar. well mixed and well rub
bed into the floor with cotton or wool
en- rags, is a 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 q 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, it is well to try it 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 a bad substitute.
The above-named mixture does not
need to be applied to the floor oftener
than once month, and about once a
year coat Of good floor wax should
be we'll rubbed into the floor.
The application of varnish to a hard
wood floor is a modern method of fin
ishtng. 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 a paste
filler which fills up every pore and
crack and makes a perfectly smooth
surface.
