POLISHED FLOOR NEEDS CARE
Methods by Which II May Be Made
to Last Long and Always Appear
at Its Best.

The first step In polishing soft
wood floor is to see that it is perfect
ly smooth and clean. It 1t has been
already painted or vanished the
stains should be removed with strong
ammonia and thorough scraping,
when all cracks and dents should be
closed with putty and filler" applied
all over. This can be purchased at
most oil and yarnish shops, and should
either be mixed with a little color or
a sufficient quantity OF floor stain
should be added. The filler should be
put on with fat brush or piece of
cloth and worked in one direction
with the grain of the wood. while on
completion of the process the room
should be closed for "a hours. At the
end of that time the boards should be
rubbed until they shine, with a long
handled, heavy weighted broom. over
which a piece of carpet has been
tackled, and this process may be re-
peated ad libitum. Finally the floor
may be polished with boiled linseed
oil and turpentine, this mixture being
rubbed well in with a cloth and then
left for an hour or two to dry, after
which it must be again polished with
the weighted brush.
Instead Of a final touch of this de-
scription. the floor may be finished
with a coat of varnish or shellac or
with some prepared hardwood treat
ment. both of which should be put on
evenly and thinly with a weighted
brush or with an old piece of carpet
In order to keep the floor at its
best after the polishing process has
been completed, 1t should never be
washed with water, but after all the
dust has been removed crude petro-
leum should be rubbed in and left to
dry.

the mark indicating the year of assay
and the private mark Of the manufac-

on old plate that there has arisen q
knavish industry of cutting out old
marks from insignificant old pieces
and embedding them bodily In modern
fabrications. The more recent work
on the subject is Chaffer's Handbook
to Hall Marks on Gold and Silver
Plate" which makes 1t quite easy to

TRUE SPIRIT OF THE HOME
Serenity and Wisdom Of Wife and
Mother Dew and Sunshine to
Growing Souls.

Wherever the great and beautiful
work of art, a home, had come into
BEING, the wife and mother has had
her paramount existence In that home
though her interests and activities
have not necessarily been limited to
its sphere, declares Ellen Key in the
Atlantic. But husband and children
have been able to count on her in the
home as they could count on the fire
On the hearth, the cool shade under
the tree, the water in the well, the
bread in the sacrament. Thus upon
husband and children is bestowed the
experience which a great poet gained
from his mother. "All became to her
wreath" A wreath where every
days toll and holidays joy, hours of
labor and moments of rest, were leaf
and blossom and ribbon. The wise
educator is never one who is "educat-
ing" from morning to night. She is
one who, unconsciously to the chill
dren, brings to them the chief susie
nance and creates the supreme con-
ditions for their growth. Primarily
she is the one who, through the Sc
renity and wisdom of her own ma
ture, is dew and sunshine to growing
souls. She is one who understands
how to demand in Just measure, and
to give at the right moment She is
one whose desire is law, whose smile
is reward, whose disapproval is pun
ishment, whose caress is benediction.
