In 11 l.'i there was n recanting of the
Held artillery organizations at lionje,
due to the return from South Africa of
a ijuiijImt of units that had leea lu
colonial service. Various change were
made to increase the elllciency of this
arm of the service. The total numlier
of service batteries and companies at
home and abroad Is twenty-five horses,
lid Held, nine mountain, ninety-seven
garrison companies, including twelve
heavy batteries.
The lufantry of the British arjny
consists of four regiments in the bri
gade of guards, comprlsliiK ulne bat
tailous; sixty-seveu regiments of in
fantry of the line und two rifle Tel
incuts, with a total of fourteen , bat
talions. The normal composition of a
line regiment has been two battalions,
but in 11)13 it was decided to establish
four battalions of each regiment, and
steps were taken to carry the measure
Into effect.
Exclusive of the Indian army there
are eighty-five troops, companies and
other formations of engineers for field
brtdnliitf. searchlight, railway, survey
and similar duties. A new army signal
force was formed recently, comiwsed
of royal engineer wireless and tele
graph men ami Infantry and cavalry
signalers. The army service corps
was organized In eighty companies. In
cluding fifty-six for horse transport,
fifteen for nipchanlcal transport, five
aupply and four remount companies.
Well Supplied With Aeroplanes.
As in the case of all the European
armies, the number of military aero
planed In use lu Croat Britain is not
known with absolute certainty. A re
cent computation, believed to he accu
rate, places It at 2.VJ. Besides this
there are several large military dirigi
ble balloons. Great Britain has about
1.0.10 men trained In the use of nero
planes, and must of them nre available
for service.
The British army olllcer Is generally
considered a koeu soldier,' with a sense
of his duties and responsibilities, al
though the custom of appointing offi
cers from the so called "upper" classes
has had Its usual deleterious effect
(if "Tummy Atkins" much good nnri
had have been said recently, and his
pialltles are only to be determined in
the cni'ible of lire. But he has a long
und honorable record to sustain him.
It Is not believed that he is as good
physically as his predecessors, since
the crowding of the British Into tho
titles has acted Injuriously on the phy
sique of the recruits for the army.
The British artillery Is made at
home, at Woolwich and elsewhero.
The British guns mm! mnmunlMou are
highly rated by experts.

PAINTED FLOORS.
EVEN though you may not have
hardwood floors, in every room
where you use rugs, large or
small, the uppearuuee of such rooms
will be greatly improved to say noth
ing of the sanitary conditions and the
eaxe of taking earo of them, if you
will eliminate all the old dust laden
carpet or filling and substitute paint.
Throw away your old filling or burn
it so that It cannot possibly return
in the form of rag rugs or some other
equally bad form. Free your floor
from all trace of dust and crack ac
cumulations and then with a bucket
of hot water and soap wash the sur
face thoroughly to free it from all
trace of dirt. Then with another
bucket of hot water go over the floor
with a scrubbing brush until it is
absolutely clean and ready for the
next proceess.
In all probability there will be
many wide and long cracks old
floors are all that way unless the
house is in unusual condition, which
is very seldom the case. Buy a good,
known maker's brand of crack filler
and fill all the cracks, using a round
bladed kitchen knife or spatula or
applying it according to any special
directions on the label of the can
This may seem like a tedious job aud
look while the work is being done as
though you are not really accom
plishing much of an Improvement,
for the crack filler will not be the
color of your boards, but if it Is put
In with ordinary care, you will have
the foundation of what will look
almost like a one-piece floor later
when your paint is on. If there are
any loose boards be sure to nail them
down or your crack filler will work
out In all such places.
Then choose an oak floor paint
and begin work the next day. Heady
mixed paint is to he had at all the
paint stores, or you can mix your
own if you are particular about a
certain shade or color that you wish
to work up. Remember this, that
very light or dark shades show foot
prints badly, especially the latter.
I'se a broad brush, so that the
surface may be well covered with as
few goings over as possible. Two
coats are absolutely necessarv to give
' a sure covering, allowing the first
to dry thoroughly before applying
the second. If the paint becomes
thick, thin It with turpentine. Most
ready mixed paints are too thick as

you receive them. - After the second I
coat has thoroughly dried go over it
with a coat of floor varnish twoi
coats are better and allow thin to
dry for twenty-four hours. You will!
then have a floor that will be satis- j
factory in every way. j
If you want to go a little deeper!
in the decorative features, cut a sten-
cil in some heavy board or stencil '
paper and stencil the border In black. I
This can be done before the paint
has been varnished or after the var-!
ulsh is applied, and then a coat of
varnish put on over the stencil work.
In a guest room which is used less,
let the white paint of the surbase
extend on the floor to the width of
a foot or so. Paint a line of some
color harmonizing with the general
color scheme of the room, close to
the surbase as a division line and on
the white floor surface stencil some
simple pattern. This will brighten
the floor and bring your color scheme
together.
