CLEANING TINwARE.
NJ acids shoild be employed to clean tin
WIRE, because they attack the metal and re-
move it from the iron on which 1t forms a
thin coat. We refer to articles made of tin
plate, which consists of iron covered with
tin. Rub the article first with rotten stone
and sweet oil, then finish with whitening
and a piece of soft leather Articles made
wholly of tin should be cleansed in the same
ilarlner. In q dry atmosphere. planished
tinware will remain bright for long period,
but it soon becomes tarnished in moist air.
TO CLEAN PAINT.
There is very simple method to clean
most any kind of paint that has become
tlirtv, and if our housewives should adopt
it it would save them great deal of trou-
bIe. Provide plate with some OF the best
Of whiting to be had and have ready some
clean warm water, and squeeze dry; then
take as much whiting as will adhere to it;
apply it to the painted surface, when u little
rubbing will Immediately remove any dirt
or grease. After which, wash the part well
with clean water, rubbing it dry with soft
chamois. Paint thus cleaned looks as well
as when first laid on, without any injury to
the most delicate colors. 1t is far better
than using soap, and does not require more
than half the time and labor.
