How To WASH WIADows.--DgaR SKIN
THE BEST FOR CLEANING rnEM.-The nj.
cest article for washing windows is deer
skin, as no particle comes off to adhere to
the glass and make it look as il washed
with feathers. There is no need of any,
thing larger than hand basin for washing
windows: The great splash some people
make in the~exereise OF their ait is useless
and is moreover, deleterious. When the
water is permitted to run down IN large
quantities over the glass, it desoIves the,
putty and soon loosrns the panes from their
setting, and also stains the glass. Two
pieces of wash leather, and bowl Of suds
is all that are necessary. Wipe the glass
first with the wet cloth. and it will look
far more clear than il rinsed in dozen
pals ofwater.
