Worth Knowing.

Inlaid linoleum when first laid
should be given a coat of good floor
polish made of wax and pure oils free
from acids of any nature. This should
be well rubbed into the linoleum to
fill the pores, then the linoleum should
be polished. When necessary to clean
use a good soap, which must be free
from alkalies, and luke-warm water Do
not use soda or any of the strong
soaps or cleansing compounds, which
are apt to destroy the finish and color.
Some prefer that the inlaid should be
polished once each month with good

Effect of Soma.

Apart from the esthetic effect, the
moral and the physical effect of sing
ing is wholesome. There are few ex-
ercises better than singing. both for
the physique and the nerves. OF
course, in its moral effect much de-
pends upon the quality Of music. A
good deal of our popular music is Of
decidedly questionable morality.
There are times wh$ the sensuous
effect may easily develop into sensual
effect. But there can be no doubt
about the wholesomeness of music ex-
pressing the nobler aspirations Of the
race. BY ignoring it we have shown
great lack of wisdom.

midst of a ringed target. The
successive and extending arcs of mod
ern and obsolete fortresses (Ant-
werp is not completely encircfed)
have almost traced the history of de-
fensive warfare. The Antwerp forts
have gradually been pushed outward
from the site of the ancient city
stormed by the Mortimer in the ninth
century to the outer line of Lierre, De
Kessel, De Ertbrand and many others,
held to be impregnable until the au-
tumn of 1914. This line of forts, with
the military dikes upon the languid
River Scheldt, has guarded for some
years the most important arsenal of
Belgium, as well as what was consid-
cred the chief city of refuge for the
Belgian army.

strategic point. The pistol aimed at

Cathedral and Its Pictures.
The city of Antwerp is one of the
most interesting not only in Belgium
but in the entire world. 1t has been
reduced by fire and sword on many oc-
casions, but in spite of its various ca
lamities there have been preserved a
number of priceless old buildings. The
cathedral Of Notre Dame is one of the
finest examples of Gothic architec-
ture in the Netherlands. Through all
the violent scenes that have taken
place about it's walls it has been
spared by the various armies that
have desolated the city. The one ex-
ception to its immunity came in the
violent revolution against the Roman
Catholic faith in the sixteenth century.

rising to a height of more than four

there is a bronze statue of Rubens.

So many are the interesting old
buildings of Antwerp and the number
of treasures contained in them that
the barest outline Of them can be
given here. Besides the cathedral and
the Musee Plantin there are the Hotel
de Vile, the Royal museum and the
churches of st. Paul, st. Jacques. st.

the fifteenth, sixteenth and seven

while modern in structure, has been
the home of so many art treasures
that it has become one of the best

collection of old masters numbers
more than eight hundred priceless
paintings, of which the most notewor.

Ancient Hotel de Vile.
The Hotel de Vile, built toward the
end of the sixteenth century by Cor.
nelius de Vriendt. was destroyed In
part by the Spaniards during the
Spanish Fury of 1756, when more than
six thousand citizens were put to the
sword, and the Antwerp burghers
were hanged by dozens in various
parts of the town. The building was
restored in 1881, and since then has
been unharmed. In it are the burge-
masters room, with its beautifully
carved chimney piece and various val
liable paintings that depict the his
toric events of the city.
On the Grand place, where the Ho
tel de Vile is located, are also the
homes of those forerunners of the Ia
Dor unions, the trade guilds. These
organizations built their permanent
offices, if they were to be called such.
