more than three times the contract

DOMESTIC.

FUM1aAT1Et, PAsTILs. For the pur-.
pose OF deodorizing a room in which
there is an offensive smell common cof-
fee berries and even rags and brown
paper, If properly burned, will serve
admirably. The smoke from these sub
stances not only neutra]izes the odors
but really acts as disinfectant to q
slight extent. In burning coffee, paper
or rags for this purpose care must be
taken to prevent them from burning too
freely. II they burn with free, bright
flame the proper effect will not be pro-
duced. They should be allowed to
shoulder quietly, and they do this best
when they are thrown on hot Goals or q
hot shovel and set on fire. An excel
lent substitute for pastils is heavy brown
paper which has been dipped III q SOU
ton of nitre and then died. This
burns freely without flame, and If it be
dipped In a solution of benzoin, the
odor is very pleasant. The best thing,
however, is pastils. They are easily
made as follows: /. Paris Formula;
Benzolo, two ounces; balsam of tolu
and yellow sandal wood. of each four
drachms; nitre, two drachms; loo ianum,
two drachms; charcoal, six ounces.
Reduce to powder, mix thoroughly and
make into a stiff paste with gum trnga-
canth. Form into small cones and dry
them in the air. 2. Formula of Henry
and Gulbourt. Powdered benzoin, six
teen parts; balsam of tolu and powdered
sandal wood, each four parts; charc oal
powder, forty-eight parts; powdered
tragacanth and Iabdanum, each one
part, powdered nitre and gum arabic,
each two parts; make into q paste with
twelve parts cinnamon water, form into
canes and dry.

PLUSH DRAPED EAsELs. 1t is now
the mode in Paris-and followed in
other cities-t0 drape easels, mirrors
and other accessories to be found in
the fashionabIy furnished drawing
room with plush. The easel is covered
with peacock blue, ruby, gold. blue or
apple green .plush--or any color that
contrasts or blends with the room fur
nishings-and ornamented with en-
broidery and fringe. The cord which
holds the draper and the tassels must
be OF the same color. Small easels,
intended for holding photo or plaque,
are done in this way: Take long strip
or scarf of plush, knot it round the
upright bar close under the cross.piece,
carry it across this bar in front and
mako another slip.knot above the CROSS
piece. letting this piece over the sur
face lie in easy folds; in this way one
long end will fall on the one side just
below the picture ledge; the other long
end at the opposite side of the easel
ends, just above the ledge. Stiffuess
must be avoided IN these draperies.
The cords may be arranged to taste,
but look we'll when they seem to hold
the slip.kuct, in position.

Il method of bleaching cotton yarn
has lately been introduced in France,
the advantage of which is that uniform
ity is secured, and the article continues
beautifully white in the warehouse,
whether III skeins or textures. The
plan is to let 220 pounds of cotton yarn
be bucked for eight hours in soda lye
composed of six and one-half pounds Of
crystlllizod soda and two and one-fourth
pounds of slaked lime. After being
stepped in the bucking caldron and
washed, the yarn is put into solution Of
chloride of lime, and, remaining there
some two hours, goes direcl thence to
the diluted sulphuric acid, in which it
remains for twenty minutes. Such q
quantity of yarn requires eleven pounds
of powdered chloride of lime, and one
and one-sixth part Of sulphurlc acid.
After the bleaching, the yarn is careful
ly washed IN flowing water, and then
put once or twice into soap bath con-
tanning two and one-flth pounds of palm
Oil for every 220 pounds of the yarn.
BY this means. the Gotten is freed from
the adhering acid, and can then be
sized-warp yarn with thirteen and
one. fifth pounds, and wool yarn with
four and two-fifth pounds of starch for
every 220 pounds, with the addition of
some acid-proof ultramarine.
