The use of the electric fan is
quite as important in winter as in
summer In cold weather it reverses
its well-known cooling effect. and
adds materially TO the warmth of
the rooms especially under-heated
rooms. This is because steam and
hot water radiators do not throw
out heat waves; they simply raise
the temperature of the surrounding
air which must have thorough dis.
tribution before the room can be
warmed.
Throughout the winter with the
use of an electric fan the furnace
in the home may be started later in
the morning than would be other
wise possible. The rapid diffusion
of heat warns the room in so much
shorter time than without the use
of the fan that the winters supply
of coal is made to 60 further.

faced west and it was too warm to
sit there the family gathered on the
side stoop and sat there in varying
degrees of discomfort until it was
time TO go in.
Porches are now more than mere
entrances. They have been taken
into the family life as definite

the essentials of an outdoor room
The first essential of the enclosed

the floor so as TO be protected from
contact with water when the porch
is washed.
Wickerware or reed furniture, a

of gay cushions make the porch a
pleasant place for the family TO

are entertained, there is delight

FLOORS ARE EASILY
WAXED WHEN COLOR
AND GRAIN PERFECT
Wood Filler Should Be APP
piled on New
Floors.

If the wood of the floors is beau
tiful in both color and grain, they
may be easily waxed. One pound
Of floor wax, obtainable at almost
any well : euipped paint establish
ment, will cover about 200 square
feet. If the floor is new, a wood
filler should be applied, in the man.
ner previously described. Then either
one coat Of shellac or clear varnish
should be put on the floors, to serve
as base for the wax finish.
Floors that have been previously
finished with either shellac or var
nish will require somewhat different
treatment. They must be rubbed over
with a mixture of so per cent pure
linseed oil, 40 per cent turpentine and
10 per cent dryer. After being applied,
not too literally, wipe it off and al
low to dry thoroughly before finishing
with wax. The wax may be applied
either with brush or soft rag. After
drying about an hour, the floor may
then be polished with a soft rag, first
rubbing against the grain, and then
with the grain. An easy method of pol.
ishihg is to attach q piece of felt
or soft cloth to the bottom of the
brush with which the wax has been
applied. If high gloss is desired, a
second coat of wax may be put on in
the same manner.
The cleaning of a wax floor is &.
simple matter. The surface is easily,
swept by a cloth covering the broom.
To keep the floor in glossy condi-
ton. go over it occasionally with the
or one Of the regulation weighted
brushes made particularly for the pur-
pose. II 1t becomes necessary to wipe
up the floor. use cloth dampened
in warm water. and do not apply any
soap to the cloth or floor.
Many varnishes which contain
stains and colors, designed to give
a.svarnish appearance to wood at the
same. time it is colored in any num-
Der of pleasing tones, are also on the
market. Their method of application
is similar to the clear varnish. and

wood, where they crossed to the
south bank. Soon after they passed
two Indian lodges.
| The journey across the prairies to
the Redwood River was difficult
one. They were at some distance
from the river; water and wood were
scarce; the heat was intense, "a de-
grees in the shade; and the mosqui-
toes were pest; the men lay with
their boots on to protect their feet
and legs; even then they passed many
sleepless nights, so greatly were they
annoyed by these insects.
Origin of Name Redwood"
Beltrami gives the significance of
the name "Red Wood" It is call
ed from a tree which the natives
paint every year, and for which they
have peculiar veneration. 1t has
nothing remarkable to distinguish it
from other trees, but every tribe
has its favorite images, though they
all represent the same divinity, the
same object of worship. In this tree
they adore the thunder which, as they
think, comes from the Rocky noun
tains. This wood is situated on the
south bank of the St. Peter, and an
other river, (the Redwood) which
| flows into it through the center of
the wood descends from the same
point"
As the meaning of the Indian name
for the St. Peters river, "Minnesota"
or Mennesota," is a disputed point,
| it may be of interest to notice that
Long interprets it on his map, not as
cloudy or sky-bue water, but as
Troubled Water River" He also
explains the origin of the name St.
Peters as applied to the river. He
says St. Feter's was "a name sup
posed to have been corrupted from
Sans Pierre pronounced like Saint
Pierre but meaning without stones"
instead of st. Peter as the latter
should be translated) which had
formerly been given by the French
to this river, from the circumstance
that no stones are found in it for a
considerable distance from its mouth"
On the 10th, the party carried
their canoes for a distance of mile
as was the wont of all travellers pass
ing that way, from which circum-
stance it had for some time been
known as Grand Portage. They
crossed the Yellow Medicine River,
so named by the Indians because of
the root of that color which grew
in the vicinity, which they believed
to have mystical healing properties.

they encountered some Indians who
told them that many buffalo had al
ready been killed on Lake Traverse;
