Unfinished wood floors should be
mopped or scrubbed with warm water
and mild soap. secured If necessary
with powdered pumice, clean beach
sand, or fine steel wool, rinsed With
clear water, and wiped as dry as pos
Sible. Strong soaps, alkaliS and too
free use of water darken wood and
may in time soften 1t. Ink or iron
stains may be bleached out with an
oxalic-acid solution.
Vanished floors should be swept
with a soft brush, a mop, or a broom
covered with a cotton flannel bag, and
then rubbed with a cloth or mop
slightly moistened with floor oil or
kerosene. The oil gradually dries out
of varnish after ii has been applied
to wood, and unless restored by an
occasional rubbing with an oiled cloth
the varnish becomes exceedingly hard
and brittle. Only enough oil to
moisten the cloth or mop should be
used, however. for if any remains on
the surface it catches dust and dark
ems the wood. Good floor oils can
easily be mixed at home.
Excellent Floor Oil.
One part boiled linseed oil thinned
with three parts turpentine makes an
excellent floor oil, while one part
light motor or engine oil combined
with four parts kerosene gives results
similar to those from commercial
kinds. The light motor oil recon.
mended must not be confused with
the heavy, less highly refined kinds
that contain dark sediment.
In general, vanished floors retain
their color and luster better if no
water is used on them. but If very
dirty they may be wiped with a cloth
or mop wrung out of warm soapy
water wiped dry at once, and polished
with an oiled cloth or mop. White
spots made by water and light
scratches can generally be removed
by rubbing with Il cloth moistened
with floor oil, kerosene or furniture
polish. AS soon as a yarnished floor
can be no longer revived by this
method, a fresh coat of varnish should
be brushed on. for if the finish wears
down to the bare wood it can seldom
be patched successfully.
Waxed floors should be swept with
a soft brush or mop entirely free from

French Fishermen Sail
Wih Blessing Of Church

lie Havre.-Every year, before the
Havre fishermen sail off in their boats
to the distant Newfoundland banks,
they gather together at Havre to cele-
brate the feast of their patron saint,
st. Peter. This year the presence OF
the archbishop of Rouen lent unusual
interest to the ceremony.
The whole town turned out, and the
church of st. Etienne was covered with
flags and bunting and giittered with
lights. The sailors filed r~eyerently up
the aisles, accompanied by their wom-
en- folk, and the whole congregation,
in picturesque Normandy attire, sang
hymns and prayed for those who 60
down to the sea in ships.
AS part of the ceremony, a blun Old
master seaman, who had weathered
many a storm, came to the rail OF the
choir and made an address In the
rough, poetic language OF the sea-
farers, to which the archbishop re
piled.
All the fishing fleet in the docks was
gay with flags, their crews gathered to-
gether for the blessing Of the ships by
the archbishop. After the religious
ceremony, bands played the "Marseil,
laise," the sailors cheered and the 1925
Newfoundland banks fishing season
was declared open.

Cooled Their Enthusiasm.

Here is a story for feminists only:
Mrs. Fawcett, one of the pioneers of
woman suffrage in England, tells an
amusing story Of how, many years ago,
she was taking around at a political
meeting a petition asking parliament
to pass the married women's property
bill, then before it.
Those present we're mostly Suffolk
farmers. She explained the petition
and asked for signatures, but obtained
very few. One old farmer voiced the
feelings of the majority.
"Am I to understand you, ma'am.
that If this bill becomes law and my
wife had a matter of a hundred pounds
left her, / should have to ask her for
itY'
OF course I was obliged to confess
that he would have to suffer this hui
initiation, and then 1 obtained no more
signatures.

Doubts Mixture
Church and Schools

Professor Charles j. Strahan of
Trenton, assistant commissioner of edn-
cation, his wife and Rev. and Mrs. J.
l.. Pit, the former general superin-
tendent of Sunday schools of the New
Jersey conference, were honor guests
Friday evening at the dinner given in
the First M. e. church diving room to
members of the Sunday school and Off
cial boards and their wives and hus-
bands. numbering in a1125.
Mr.. Strahan also made a short adj
dress on American Department on the
School and Church, in which he as
serted that the churches established the
school, advised education and asserted
that every year in school spent by the
boy or girl of any community increased
the per capita earning Of that com
munity. Good citizenship is determin-
ed by schools and the schools are Amer
lean, because they make the country,
he explained.
The speaker was honest in his doubt
as to the wisdom Of schools for religious
training, that have been agitated the
past winter among educators and VOW
ed he would watch the succe Of the
few schools of that character that have
been organized before giving bis stamp
of approval to the establishment OF
others.

Edison Shortens Bill
So Bird Can Catch Fish

Fort Myers, Fla.-If in your travels
YOU should find a blue heron with an
unusually short bill don't believe you
have discovered a new species. There
is a blue heron flying around some
where with a short bill, made so by
no less a prominent parsonage than
the famous inventor, Thomas A. Ed
ison.
This became known here following
the return of Edison and a party from
a two-days' "exploration" trip into Col
Iier county, the inventors first trip
into southwest Florida in a number OF
years.
AS they returned to Fort Myers, Ed
ison's winter home, the party ran
across a blue heron with a mutilated
upper bill, which made 1t almost Inn
possible for the bird to obtain food.
Upon the suggestion Of Mr. Edison
the bird was captured and its lower
bin trimmed 10 match the upper.
When last seen the bird was content
eddy standing in water catching fish,
members Of the party declared.
"Someone will find a blue heron
some day with a short bill and i'm
agine they have found a new Species"
remarked Edison.

EXPLETIVES USED
AS SAFETY VALVES
New England Especially
Rich in Objurgations.

Even the mlldest person needs an
occasional expletlve for relief. The
expletive is a safety valve, to prevent
a serious explosion. It belongs in the
general class Of humorous words, and
intensives and swear words of a great
variety of colors for many generations
have given a distinctive quality to the
more animated moods, sometimes to
the casual conversation, of the Ameri-
can speaker, says an editorial in the
New York Herald Tribune.
A distinction must be made, how
ever, between cursing and swearing.
The former is a solemn matter, and
the forms of cuTsing are likely to be
established by venerable and unalter-
able custom. Swearing satisfies a less
serious need for expression and gives
room for the play of fancy and ima@
nation. The swear word or phrase may
be merely ordinary English of a rich
and satisfying rhythm. by Golding's
bow-key," says Mr.. Quick, in "Vande-
marks Folly" the time being the mid
die of the last century, was a very
solemn objurgation. It could be used
by professors Of religion, but under
great %proyocation only. 1t harks back
to the time when every man who had
oxen named them Buck and Golding,
and the bow-key held the yoke on
That an OK should be called Buck is
conceivable, though Golding seems a
bit mysterious. But whatever the
origin of these names, they certainly
go back to early New England days.
Many mild expletives are merely weak
ened forms of original curses, and in
this kind Of swearing the Yankee has
always been considered to be particu-
larly adept. Phrases like / swow, /
van, / yum, dad fetch it, good davy, to
give a person Jesse or particular
Jesse, all fired, 10 fired, are quite safe,
though they still bear enough OF the
marks Of their original upon them to
satisfy the needs Of Puritanical Inn
~precation. The word eternal, in the
form tarnal, and in the composite tar
nation, also extended It's usefulness,
and tarnation took on a contracted
form, nation, which was formerly a
necessary word in the stock in trade
Of any one who set about describing
a rustic Yankee or telling a Yankee
story.
1t may be strange that the pious
New Englanders. who were supposed
to heed the injunction to swear not
at all, should be the very ones to exer-
else so fully their inventive genius in
discovering new forms of swearing.
But forbidden fruit is always sweet
est. And if one cannot have the real
thing, it is easy enough to invent sub
stitutes, harmless or otherwise.

Prospector,a Rich Find

A flying base at the junction of the
Peace, Findlay and Parsnip rivers has
been established. This marks the first
stem in the aerial invasion of the min
eralized triangle bordered by the Yu-
kon, Northwest territories and Alaska,
and is the result of seventeen years
long prospecting by Frank Perry, engi-
neer, of Vancouver. He says he has
found large deposits Of coal and iron
one coal seam, he says, measures 800
feet across the strike, while the larg-
est iron seam met with ran to about
200 feet. He also says he has discov-
cred a ~semitropical valley close to the
Yukon boundary, fed by hot springs
and rivers of hot water which do not
permit Of freezing. Perry tells of hav-
ing found also gold, silver and copper
close together. but In different forma-

World Has Forgotten
Where ConquerOT Died

Liu Pan Shan-the Six Loop pass
vas a hard day for the mules, which
had to relay each others loads and
thus got a double climb. They were
much delayed by a broken-down cart,
which finally had to be upended In a
deep cutting to let us pass. Half way
up the mountain, set in an elbow Of
the road, was a decrepit temple Of no
particular age or grandeur u attract
our attention, writes Langdon Warner
In Worlds Work.
On hearing it's name, Kuan III
Miau, Wang dug up a ~schoolboy menu
DRY that it was the place where Gem
ghis Khan had died. No more inn
perial outlook could be found in all
China for that old tiger to rest his
eyes on for the last time. The temple
vas squeezed between the ridge and
the cliff from 1t one gazed down and
afar off to the east over the road that
we had ome The trees that lined
the track made a straight, double rib
bon across the flats, but curled about
the mountain roots and slanted up the
foothills to find an easy way, till the
pass at our feet was reached and they
set themselves doggedly to the task
of zigzagging up as steep a slope as
mules and carts could tolerate. Groups
of farmhouses and hamlets were
marked by thickets neal the brooks
which emptied into the Ching, while
far away, clear over the edge Of the
world, the great line of trees dipped
out of the great plateau.
We searched in vain for an inscribed
stone to tell Of the emperor's death at
the little temple. The old priest
knew and cared for nothing but his
flock of half a dozen goats and sheep
and his opium pipe. The temple was
old; it had fallen into ruin and had
been rebuilt some fifty years ago when
he vas a lad; 1t was now likely to
fall again. No emperor had passed
that way in his time, but mule fodder
was hard to come by and the carriers
who passed were a rough lot who stole
what they could lay their hands on.
Such vas the burden Of his story.
Genghis Khan. the founder of an
empire which controlled the Naax ars
the Far East and which ovefran Eu-
rope, mean nothing to him. The next
time I passed that way his complaint
of the carriers came home to me and
/ was more interested in getting my
mules down alive in the blizzard.
Dead Mongoi princes were forgotten.

ITALIANS N
ANCIENT MASTER
Fourth Century of Birth of
Palestrina Observed.

Rome.-The fourth centenary of the
birth in 1925 of Giovanni Pierluigi da
Palestrina, the father of modern musi-
cal nomenclature and composer of a
considerable amount Of the most mag
nificent sacred music of the Roman
Catholic church, is being celebrated
this year In Rome and is being made
the occasion for the rendition for the
first time of many l%ittle-known ION
religious works of the great master.
His Profane Music Little Known.
Although Pedestrians sacred music
is universally known, almost nothing
is known of his profane music, of
which he left about 200 madrigals and
canzoni.
Since the "vocal orchestra" ceased
to exist as a lay form of instrument
tation," no copies of Pedestrians pro-
fame music have existed. OF the en-
tire body of his work, Richard Wagner
published a first edition in Germany,
but after such Italian musicians as
Alberto Cametti, Monsignor Casimiri,
Giovanni Tabaidini and Dominica Ala
leona had pointed out the German
edition was very faulty, the work Of
compiling a complete edition was un-
dertaken in Italy. This. 1t is stated,
viii be ready some time during the
current year.
Commemorative Concert Given.
The first of a series of commemora-
tive concerts took place recently at
the royal academy OF Santa Cecilia
under the direction of Donenico Ala
leona, who had copied from the orig
inal manuscripts the works included
In the program.
The magnitude of the task success
fully accomplished by Alaleona is
easily seen when it is remembered that
the original works were written with
uniform notes, without any indications
Of movement. celor or expression
