Time Saved.

In a large family, where there are
many children, much loss of time and
annoyance is saved if, before putting
stockings into the wash each week,
each person will tack the two stock
ings Of each pair at the hens, says

in trying to mate them afterward, as
each person may use a different col

TO RENEW FURNITURE
PIANO FINISH Is GIVEN BY MANY
COATS OF VARNlSH.
Much Scrapins and sandpaperlng
Necessary In This Method-cracks
and Holes Must Be Filled
With Putty.

There are various ways of renovat-
ing furniture. The best consists N
the application Of successive coats of
varnish, each sandpapered and rubbed
to what is known as a piano finish"
This method is the finish you will find
on almost all the old mahogany Of
our grandfathers days. The nrst
thing, then, is to get off the dust and
dirt, and to remove every particle OF
the old cracked and bIackeued warm
ish from the piece of fuI n7ture you
wish to renovate. To do this you will
peed cabinet scraper. These scrap
ers come in various shapes and sizes,
and are made to fit the different
aIgles and curves of the wood to be
acraped. They may be bought for ten
Oh fifteen cents. The edges are draw
filled and ready for use. If the edge
is rounded the scraper will do no
work. If rough or nicked the wood
will be scratched and perhaps ruinId d.
With a good scraper you will be sur
prised and charmed to See how quick
~ and nicely you can get down to the
bare wood.
If there is deep carving on the
piece of furniture the operation mus,
Re varied. Take wood alcohol. and
with a brush or cloth apply to every
nook and crevice Let 1t stand fol- a
little while and then wipe it off and
scrape the wood clean as before di-
rected. The wood alcohol will soften
the varnish, SO that it may be easily
removed. Care must be taken not to
allow the varnish to turn white.
Should it do so apply more of the
alcohol and wipe dry at once. If the
alcohol once reaches the wood it will
turn it, white, provided it is mahog-
any. which is the only wood on which
alcohol has this effect. 1t merely
bleaches other woods.
The wood being cleaned the surface
must be made absolutely smooth. For
this use double sandpaper. Smooth
down all the rough spots, and fill all
the cracks and holes with putty,
which must be allowed to harden,
when 1t may be stained to match the
color of. the wood. If the placing of
the putty is carefully done even a
large crack or broken piece of ve-
neer may be so hidden that it cannot
be seen when the work is finished.
The wood will then be ready 10,
the varnish. The average amateur
cannot understand that the art Of
vanishing differs very materially
from painting. Paint is better for
rubbing in with the brush, but var
nish, because of the rapidity in dry
ing. must be flowed on to the work.
The work must always lay fiat and
remain so until the varnlsh has set.
:, vIrnish brush Is fiat and fairly stiff
and fine. Put plenty of varnish on
IN wood. avoiding too much rubbing
with the brush. 1t will settle into a
glazed surface If you have flowed
it on evenly
AS to, the varnish itself, buy the
best that can be had. Finishing var.
nish" of good quality is what you
want. Before applying it. however,
you will find that time and expense
will be saved by putting on two coats
OF fine white shellac, allowing each
coat to dry thoroughly FER at least
twenty-four hours. If shellac is used
only two coats of varnish will be nee.

The revival of racing in New York is
responsible for the turn of the tide,
which has been setting strongly toward
Engiand and France and thus enriching
the turf in those countries at the ek.
pense of the United States. The sport
is still beset with some pitfalls, but il
has prospered enough even with only
three days racing q week to encourage
those who own good horses to bring
some Mt least back from abroad, where
so many were shipped when the gates
of the tracks were closed three years
ago, with the close of the meeting ut
Saratoga Springs in 1910.
Colin started fifteen times aud won
fifteen races for total of $ls0,9ig, and
while his opportunities have been more
or less limited in only two years of stud
duty abroad, he is practically sure to
enrich the turf. Like Peter Pan, he is
