TO Clean and Remove Stains from Silver.
For the ordinary purposes of cleaning
silver one of the best materials is a thin
paste OF two parts of alcohol to one of
ammonia, with enough whiting to make "A
Iquidlike cream. This should be rubbed
or painted over the silver and allowed to
stand till dry. fthe paste is then brushed
of with a very fine brush the silver will
appear bright and clear
In cleaning silver there are but two
things TO be removed dirt and the sulphide
OF silver, which appears rs a coating Oh
articles exposed to the air, and is especially
noticeable on spoons that come in contact
with yolk of egg. In the foregoing prep
aration the alcohol and ammonia dissolve
all dirt and sulphide and the whiting re-
moves them. The whiting must be soft
and free from grit.
1t is difficult to remove ink stains from
the silver inkstands, penhoiders, paper
weights and other articles of the writing
table, for which this metal is now so much
used. Where ordinary means fail it has
been recommended to make a little chloride
of lime into a paste with water and rub
upon the stains, which will quickly disap
