Woman's Rights.

Allow me to give my platform OF
Woman's Rights, begging pardon for the
use of a very manish term, which | use
for the sake of brevity.
All claim for woman is the removal
of the interdict. Accept her as citizen.
Now she is denied the rights of citizen
ship and all the numbering legislation of
centuries will not adjust her relations
harmOniously in the world till this in
Justice be removed. She cannot be pro-
tected fully till she is thus recognized.
She cannot reach the true dignities of
her being till she is invested with the
sanctities and privileges of good eiti-
zen.
Remove the interdict. Make our
carry it only one way, not back and
forth. Protect the glass in the sashes,
and walls at the side of the mOuldings,
by tacking strip of pasteboard several
inches wide against the surface next the
work to catch dashes OF paint.
If spots of mildew or blisters appear
on wallpaper in room where steam
does not penetrate, do not try to save
the paper, but strip il off, and apply IA
delicate tint, mixed with boiled linseed-
oil, to every gallon of which "A quarter
of IA pound of glue has been added, first
softened by heat, with a very little wa
ter to prevent il from burning. An
other more ef1ectual coating is made of
| five pounds of rubber melted in gallon
/ of boiled linseed-Oil. The mixture
should be heated in a tin kittle sus-
pended i'm boiling water, so that it will
not take fire Coat the wall with this,
reducing, if necessary, by more oil, and
paint or paper above it, One gallon of
/ the preparation should coat fifty yards
of surface, and never be penetrated by
moisture. One gallon of the oil and
glue requires twenty pounds of dry
paint ground in it to give two coats to
forty square yards of surface. Use
nothing but boiled oil for inside
work; the raw requires nearly a season
to dry. \ good drying oil is made by
boiling one ounce o: sugar of lead, and
the same of sulphate of zinc, with two
ounces each of litharge, red-lead, and
umber, in a gallon of linseed-Oil, till il
will scorch a feather. Whitehead gives
the most body to paint, and is most
durable, but turns yellow, and is apt tC
be mixed with inferior pigment. Zine
white is the purest color. Three coat:
are desirable on inside work for lasting
finish. The first is called priming, anC
is the only coat in which oil should b'
used, for in the upper coats IL is apt e
turn yellow by exposure to the air
The cheapest printing is given by IA Goa
of oil on which whiting is rubbed, fill
ing all the pores of the wood with thil
putty, which preserves it well, am
leaves n smooth surface for paint.
good common finish is given by miXin
a second coat of Zinc-white with enOug
oil to mOisten il, and reducing wit
naphtha; then third coat of zinc i
n. L.
nish. This gives the glossy white ;
dear to neat housewives. The most eX
, pensive and durable white finish is thu
/. given: One coat of shellac varnish; fou
: coats of pure zine ground in oil an
mixed with turpentine, each coat wei
: dried, and the whole rubbed down wit
pumice; and finally two coats of Frenc
zinc i'm varnish. This is hard, shining
and fine as enamel.-HoIpcI'S B0g0r.
