TO CLEAN OSTRICH PLUMES.

The following method OF cleaning white ostrich
feathers is given by a Philadelphia reader:
Cut pure white soap In small bits and pour
boiling water on them and add little mite Of
soda. When the soap is dissolved and the water
cool enough. dip the feathers In and draw them
through the hand. Do this several times. until the
lather Is dirty; then make clean lather and repeat
the operation. Afterward rinse the feathers In cold
water slightly blued. Put the feathers between
the hands and shake them over the hre until they
are perfectly dry. Curl them by drawing each fibre
between the thumb and the dull edge of a silver
knife with little care and patience the result
will be all that be desired.
