One Of the most durable stains
known. and not expensive, for either
kitchen or dining room Is made and
applied as follows, says the Common
er: Have the floor perfectly clean,
we'll scrubbed and dried. and for the
average size room get one-fourth
ounce Of permanganate Of potash,
add to a quart Of water and apply
quickly to the floor, using a nat
brush; repeat the process until as
dark as you want It. When dry, go
over 1t with one or two coats Of boil
ed linseed oil and turpentine, In pro-
portion Of two ounces Of turpentine to
a quart Of the oil, stirring well. Let
the first coat dry before applying the
second, and it will pay you to apply
the second coat. After drying there
will be no more scrubbing necessary,
but 1t can be wiped up with clear wa
ter and a cloth, drying with another
cloth.

LOOK AFTER THE FURS NOW
Their Preservation and Good Appear
ance Depend Upon Proper Atten.
ton Given Them.

It is safe to say that all women
delight in fine furs, yet good sets are
often spoiled through sheer ignorance
or through disregard Of the fact that
they need attention. Few owners Of
furs are so callous as to neglect the
storing away in spring and the perl
odic examination during the summer,
yet the same furs which are carefully
boarded in camphor and cedar for
half the year are often thrown about
"just anyhow" during the other hall.
In our changeable climate 1t is no
uncommon thing to get ones furs
drenched with rain. In this event 1t is
disastrous to set them to dry by the
fire, as is so often done. Heat means
destruction to fur, as it deprives It Of
the valuable oil which keeps 1t glossy
and pliable. Once this oil is lost,
nothing can restore the fur to its
original beauty.
For this reason furs should never be
left in a hot room when not being
worn. To dry them they should be
hung in a draft in a cool room and
shaken from time to time. When real
" dry they should be beaten lightly
with a cane.

Smugglers Tried to Beat Uncle Sam

Anew oRLEANS-one Of the odd
~ est" cases that have puzzled the
local customs department happened a
few days ago, and, as in the great
percentage of cases, the land agents
of Uncle Sam guessed right and saved
the ole gentleman few dollars In aA-
dition to knowing that they had saved
him from being "bpnkoed."
Under the parcels post and the Gus
toms regulations, provision is made
for a certain class Of samples" which
may be sent into this country. Al
though strict restrictions are drawn,
there are many foreigners who try
every year to use this little loophole
as one through which to send goods
without paying duty. Knowing this,
all samples are subjected to close
scrutiny by the government agents.

Minor, IN the City Of Smyrna, sought

His Preference.

A distinguished eye surgeon tells .
good story OF his hospital days. Three
other young, newly hedged oculists
and himself were chatting in their
quarters in the hospital when the con-
versation turned. as was natural in
young men, upon the beauty Of differ
ent colors Of eyes. One championed
the superior brilliancy and sparkle or
the blue eye; another the depth and
fire of the brown. while the third was
all for the clear, cool light Of the
hazel. After they had exhausted their
eloquence, with the usual effect Of con-
flrming themselves in their original
opinions, the fourth young sawbones
suddenly broke in:
II don't care a hang about your blue
eyes, or your brown eyes, or your gray
eyes! Just give me sore eyes and
plenty Of 'em-and I'll be happy!"
