To TAKE STAINS Our OF LINEs.-Stains
caused by acids Can be removed by wetting
the part and laying on it some salt of worm
wood; hen rub without dluting it with
more water.
Or, tie up in the stained part some pear
lash, then scrape some soap into cold soft
water to make luther, and boil the liner
till the stain disappears.
Recent stains of fruit may be removed by
holding the linen tightly tretched over
tub and pouring no: water over the part -
This may be done before any soa p has been
applied to it. As soon as the stain is made
OF table linen, &C., rub on it common table
salt, before it has had time TO dry. The
salt will keep it damp till the Goth is wash
ed, vixen the stain will disappear; or, wash
the stain slightly when the cloth is remoT-
ed.

feather bed, taking pains to draw out the
silk as tight as possible; when dry, all the
wrinkles have disappeared. 1t is nice
matter to dress lightsscolored silk, and lev
should try it. Some silk articles should be
moistened with weak glde or gum water and
the wrinkles iroDed out by hot eat-iron on
the wrong side.
