WAsHISG :SILK.--No person should ever
wiring or crush piece of silk when it is wet
because the crcases thus made will remain
foreyeryh the. silk Is thick and hard. The
way, to wash silk is to spread it smoothly
upon clean board, rub white soap upon It
and brush it with clean hard brush The
silk must be rubbed until all the grease is
extracted, the soap should be brushed off
with clean cold water applied to both sides

the silk, tends to prevent the colors from
running, Alchohol and camphene mixed TO-
gether is used for removing grease from silk.

One of our distant subscribers wrote, re-
questing US to buy an ear of corn for him,
ana from week to week to shell a few Kernels
of itinto the Observer, till. the whole was
sent! In this way he would save the expen-
ses of postage or express. Imagine my
dear friend; the happy editor selecting one
mans paper ~out of a vast mail list, and
cheating the government by passing weekly
