Polish That Brings Out Natural Tint.

A superior polish that is said to have been kept always on hand a century ago in the best households is a simple mixture and is made so inexpensively at home that it can be used as freely to keep the hardwood floors'in order as for polishing furniture,-says the Washington Herald. A quart of turpentine may be used and added, cut into fine pieces, a quarter of a pound of the beeswax —the old yellow variety. It will take several days to dissolve the wax, but a little shaking at intervals will shorten the time. When it Is ready to use it will be of the consistency of cream, and should be utoed sparingly and rubbed in well with an old piece of flannel. If used lavishly as one is tempted to do with things that are cheap, it will look smeary. The luster from this polish is beat*, tiful and enduring. Every time it is used it seems to enrich and bring ont the natural tints of the grain.
