The care of the various floors of the house is not the least of a house- wife’s duties. On the contrary, speciâ€" al thought must 'be given to each floor covering, whether oiled, polish- ed or carpeted. A Variety of opin- ions exist regaming the best sort for the kitchen. Tiling is hard for the feet of the servants and the same complaint is made of hard woods. Many people prefer linoleum, because of its springy quality, and its dura- bility. When lineoleum is used, how- ever, the best quality is sure to pay, even before the proverbial end, be- cause thc colors will retain their lines for longer than the cheaper m- rieties. A plain lineolelun is not infrequently used, but in this casea coat of varnish is usually given. W'hen anything is spilled upon a floor of hard Wood it can be wiped or brush- ed up at once. Cover grease spots on wood or stone with flour, starch or powdered chalk. which will abâ€" sorb the grease. Cold water pounorl upon grease as soon as it is spilled will harden it; the greater part may then be scraped oil. Before beginâ€" ning to sweep, see that no food is left uncovered in the room. Sweep from the edges of the room toward the centre. Sweep with short strokes, keeping the broom close to the floor. Never SWeep dust from one room in to another. Soft Wood floors must be scrubbed. Look for grease spots and take them out first. After the floor has become wet you cannot see where they are. On a. hardwood floor use little Water, or none at all. Wipe it with a cloth moistened with a little kerosene â€"â€" a teaspoon or two to begin with, and as much more when that has evaporâ€" ated. Rub hard with another cloth until the wood is perfectly dry. Win- dow sills and all hardwood finish may be cleaned in the some way.

Serve around the duck on rounds of cooked hom- iny, egged, crnmbed and fried. The ‘cmn'berries give it a delicious flavor. Some Housewives chop a small piece of salt pork line and put it, in the duck. It is supposed to remove the strum,r taste from wild duck. It is the host dressing for patent, leather; it will remove paint from artist‘s clovhes and workmen’s garâ€" ments; it will drive away moths if a few drops are put into closets and chests; it will persuade mice to find other quarters if a. little is poured into the mousoholcs; one tablespoonâ€" ful added to the water in which linâ€" ens are boiled will make the goods wonderfully white; a few drops will prevent starch from sticking; mixed with beeswax it. makes the hast floor polish: and mixed with sweet oil it is unrivaled as a polisli for fine furâ€" nitureâ€"tho latter mixture should be two parts of sweet oil to one part of turpentine.

Pleasant people know the right: 'thing to say, and the right way to say it. If you have just sung a song with all the power and passion that -music wakes in your soul, they do ‘not crush you with that phrase of courteous nonâ€"amn‘eciation, "Thank- ‘you! How pretty!" No. They give you a look Weightcxl with fcomplehension, and say a few words that prove they hold the key to the mystery of emotion, and can feel with those who are carried out of cold conventionalism by the Warm impulse of the artistic temperament. They put you right with the World by the power 01' that strange gift of sympathy which is denied to many ‘of us. I It is. this sympathetic insight that makes pleasant people.

The land sm- tion was at Weilialwei, with a mast 170 feet high. The mast, on the tele- graph-ship was 90 feet high. Both Russian and Japanese messages were received by the operator, who could easily rCCOgnize the difl'erence in the systems employed.
