Answer-If your kitchen oilcloth Ia not
too unsightly. it's usefulness may DC pro-
longed by your giving it two coats Of the
ordinary white shellac which can be pur-
chased at any paint store. The places
that receive the most weafeAsill require an
extra coat from time 10 time, To prevent
water from soaking into and under the
oilcloth. When white shallac is thus
used, all that is needed in the way of
cleaning is TO wipe up the floor with n
damp cloth.
II your oilcloth is too much worn for
this treatment, however, the best thing
you can do perhaps is 60 make small rugs |
from the better parts of it, using these on
the foor--in front of the sink, before the |
stove, and so forth.
But ifeven this is impossible, or you do |
not like the idea, then the only thing left |

YOUNG DRAGON-FLY.

One day Young Dragon-Fly took his
cane and put on his new hat and started
off by himself. His mother, very, very
wise old fly, had told her son the dangers
of the duck pond, and pow that there
were many young ducks who were quicker
at catching flies than the older ones the
danger was much greater.
"kecp away from the duck pond, my
SON, she said, ''if you wish to have n
long life"
But instead of flying away from the
pond, as did his brothers, young Dragon
Fly few around IL and over it right near
some young ducks, who were taking their
morning exercise and looking for just such
fine creatures as young Dragon-Fly.
Young Dragon-Fly flew over their
heads near enough for them to see him.
He sailed around and around, and every
once in while the ducklings would
try TO catch him.
"Buzz, buzz laughed Young Dragon,
''you are a fine lot of ducks. Can't catch
fly, and ! fly almost into your bills.
Away he flew and alighted on a bush,
by the side of the pond. Mother ought
TO see me tease them" he said ''They
can't catch me-
Over came the ducklings and swan
around the bush, looking at the fine big
fly just out of their reach.

"A thriving business is also being done IN

Piled ''Tf / marked those canes twenty
dollars they wouldn't look at them.
A thriving business is also being done IN
automobiles. with which Havana IS
literally running over. Big touring cars
painted in very bright colors and jitncys
claboratcly uph olstered in stamped leath-
er are the favorite types.
Much building is also going forward,
stimulated by very high rents.
An esp ecially prosperous class are the
colonies, or countrymcn, who own sugar
land but no mills. 1t should be explained
that a large part Of the sugar industry is
controlled by few great concerns winch
own the mills or ccntrnls and lands IN
addition. They also buy cane from the
eolonos, who are farmers solely. Hitherto
the colono has not made much money.
Most of the profit on sugar cane at low
price went to the mills which ground IL.
But now the colono is getting tremendous
prices for his cane, and he is not the type OF
man to conceal his prosperity. These
Cuban countrymen are emerging from the
tall timber in crowds. building themselves
houses in Vedado, the fine residence Sec
ton, riding about in the biggest cars they
can buy, loading their women with the
Jewels which the Cuban SO loves. Never
have the cafes been so bright with flowers
and diamonds and the eyes of delighted
senoras and senoritas. Never has the
Prado presented such charming spec
tacle of life and color AS it does now every
evening at the hour of the promenade.
Yet there are those who say that this
prosperity is not destined to last. In the
first place, the laboring man is not sharing
it fairly, for here as everywherc'else IN the
world, wages have not risen as fast as the
cost of living. There are strikes almost
every day. And besides, the politicians
are beginning again to fall out among
themselves. There are two factions al
ready IN each party, and those whok now
say that revolution is brewing.
Prosperity has brought out the weak
nesses of the Cuban as well as his strength.
He knows how to enjoy his prosperity,
but not how to hold il and organize 1t.
He is master of the art of life, be captures
more of its elusive Joy than we do; but IN
the business of life he is very apt to bungle.
