One Way to Stain and Polish a Floor.
For polishing floors throw permanganate of potash crystals into a pail of boiling water and apply the mixture as hot as possible to the floor with a large, flat brush. If the stainproduced is not dark enough, ' apply one or two more coats, as desired, leaving each wash to dry thoroughly before applying another. If it is desired to polish the surface with beeswax, a coat of 6lze should be applied to the boards before Staining, as this gives depth and richness to the color. After three or four days polish well with a mixture of turpentine and beeswax. A few cents will cover the cost of both size and permanganate of potash.
