To Make q Good wbitevash.

For good wbitewash for your bedroom
ceiling put a piece of lime weighing about
8 pounds in granite pan or bucket, pour
on it gallon of water and allow it to boil
and slack until the steaming is over. Take
from this quarts of the liquid lime, put it
in a wooden or granite bucket and add suffi
oient water to make it rather thin. Add a
small amount of pure indigo, sufficient to
give it the proper color, teaspoonful of
salt and half teaspoonful of lampblaok,
and stir well. This will give you a per-
fectly white ceiling. If you wish it color
ed, add one of the colorings which you
may purchase at any druggists, stating
that it is to be used with lime.-Ladies'
