1T is, perhaps. hardly necessary &c say
that stains should be treated as speedily
as possible after their first appearance,
remarks the Dyer and Calico Printer.
When once dry they are more difficult 10
remove requiring both time and perse-
yerance. Paint should be instantly wiped
Off: grease on wood, stone or carpet should
be Congealed before it has time to penctrcte,
by throwing cold water over it,
Tea, coffee, ink, wine and fruit stains
will disappear in a quarter OF the time
IL they can be attended to while wet.
For acids, tie up 4 bit OF washing soda
in the stained part, make lather OF
soap and cold soft water, tmmerse the
linen ana boil until the spot disappears
Apple and pear stains may be removed
by soaking in paraffin for few hours
before washing. Blood. If fresh is removed
by soaking for twelve hours in cold water,

sun and air for three or four days. Then
rub off the mixture and repeat the process
If necessary.
Grass stains are removed by alcohol. Ink
requires milk for its removal; the spot
should be soaked and gently rubbed. A
fresh stain will disappear quickly: but an
old one may need soaking in milk for
twelve hours-to which it may be added that
ink OF any ordinary kind is readily removed
by means of oxalic acid, bleaching after
