A few hints on house keeping which VIZ
know TO be good will be rs interesting as any
local matter that we possible might work up
paint should be cleaned by using ouly little
water at a time and changing often; a soft
flannel cloth or sponge is better than cotton OF
brush; piece OF pine wood with sharp
point should be used for the corners Where
the paint is stained with smoke. some ashes
or potash I've may be used. A soft linen tow
ell should be used for wipng dry. Glass shoul,!
not be washed with soap; little paste OF
whiting and water should be rubbed over.
and with another cloth it should be rinsed of.
and the glass polished with soft linen or old
silk handkerchief. Alcohol or benz,ne is a
good thing 10 clear glass. and clean paper is
probably better than any cloth. sponge or
towel; dry paper leaves an eXceliant polish
Marble may be cleaned with mixture Of two
parts of common soda, one part pumice stone.
and one of chalk. finely powdered, and tied
up in fine muslin rag /; the marble is weited
with water. the powder shaken over il, and it
is rubbed with soft cloth until clean. then
washed in clean water and dried with soft
liner or silk handkerchief. No soap or potash
should be allowed on marble A good furni-
ture polish is made by melting two ounces Of
beeswax, one ounce. Of turpintine, and one
drachm of powdered rosin together. with a
gentle heat, and rubbing on when cold. with a
