How to Whiten Linen.

Fruit-stains, iron mould and other
spots on linen, may he removed by ap.
plying TO the part, previously washed
clean, weak solution of the chloride of
lime or of soda, oxalic acid, or salts of
lemon, in warm water, and it often may
be done by merely using little lemon
juice. The part which contained the
stain or spot, should shortly after be
thoroughly rnsed in clear warm water
(without soap) and Immediately dried in
the sun.
Linen that has acquired a yellow or
dingy color by careless washing, may
be restored to its former whiteness by
working it well in water TO which some
strained solution of chloride of lime or
of soda has been added, observing to
well rinse it in clean water, both before
and after the immersion in the bleaching
liquor. Never attempt 10 bleach an
lcashed linen, and avoid using the liquor
too strong, for in that case the fabric
will be rendered rotten.-.4merica .4g-

Cheat in Silk.

The Nottingham (Eng.) Journal says
that a singular fraud has been successflil-
ly attempted by some lace workers, who
have given to cotton the appearance of
silk. Silk thread is dissolved by chem
ical process, and, after the cotton thread
has been drawn through the solution thus
obtained, it has the gloss and appearance
of silk thread, from which the eye can
not distinguish it.
Perhaps here is valuable hint TO the
sik-makers, of whom there are few cv-
en- in Vermont. by boiling down the
gum which abounds in raw silk, they
may perhaps procure starch superior 10
any other.
