TO CLEAN BOOKS.
HOW Various Kinds of stains May Be
Easily III e I'M cHsG.

The first thing to be done in a book
that wants washing is 10 cut the
stitches and separate the work into
sheets. Then a glance may be taken
for the separation of these leaves or
sheets which are dirty from those
which have stains of ink or oil. The
dirty leaves are now placed in a bath
composed of quarter of pound of
chloride of lime and the same quaint
ty of soda to about quart of water.
These are left to soak until the paper
has regalned its proper tint. The
pages are now lifted out tenderIy into
second bath of cold, and if possible
running water, where they are left
six hours. This removes all traces of
lime. The paper, then thoroughly
dried by exposure, must be dipped in
to third bath of size and water, and
again laid out to dry. This restores
the consistency of the paper. Press
ure between printers glazed boards
will then restore smoothness to the
leaves. The toning of the washed
leaves in accordance with the rest of
the book is delicate process which
requires some experience. Some shag
ally give the necessary coloring mat
ter, and bath i'll this liquid the nee
essary tone.
The process described above may do
for water stains, but if the pages are
dirtied by grease, oil, coffee, candle
drippings or ink, different treatment
will be required. Dilute spirits of salt
with FIVE times its bulk of water, and
lei the oil stained pages lie in the
LIQUID for four minutes-not longer;
then remove and wash, as before, in
cold water. To remove ink, a solution
of oxaltic, citric, or tartaric acid
should be used, but care must be taken
in the washing and sizing. If the
grease is a spot in the middle of
page, place between two sheets of
blotting paper, or cover 1t with pow
dered French chalk (the blotting paper
is preferably and pass hot iron over
the place. This will melt the grease
which is Immediately soaked up by
the chalk or paper. For dirty 6nger
marks the following is recommended:
Cover the mark with piece of clean
yellow soap for two or three hours,
then wash with a sponge and hot
water and dip the page in weak acid
and water. Give another bath of hot
water and thoroughly cleanse with
cold water. To remove ink stains:
Dip the page in strong solution of
oxaltic acid. then In solution of one
part hydrocloric acid and SIX parts Of

But why did you bring it here, Friend

The old man briefly explained the
circumstances.
''Otd people are apt to be capric-

ing matter of the plum sauce pleased
her and she sought to reward us. But

''But why in the name of common

Johnson. Are you in the habit of

Decker.
But Leah's face frightened like a
rose.

though it be. She has willed the Len

And Leah spoke truly. The dead
woman had wrought tardy reparation

and his daughter had at last legal
possession of what should long ago
