OIL PAINTINGS.
With a Little Care They May Easily

with a Little Care They May Easily
BE Cleaned.
Many a good picture that has looked
dark and dirty for years from having
been exposed to the dust can easily be
cleaned and freshened in a very sim
pie way. The picture should be taken
from its frame and busted carefully
with a soft cloth. Peel large potato
and cut it in half, go over the whole
picture with sponge that has been
dipped in tepid water, then with the
fiat side of the potato rub the surface
of the picture with a light circular
movement, being careful not to press
too heavily on the canvas. The potato
will soon begin to loosen the dirt and
the colors underneath will begin to
show brighter. When all the stains
and dirt have been removed the pic
ture should be sponged again in warm
water, care being taken to wash off
any starch that may have been left
from the potato.
In case the picture is badly cracked
as little water as possible should be
used, as it is apt to ooze under the
paint and do some injury.
Many oil paintings are injured by the
dampness from the walls on which
they are hung. The dampness is apt
to cause the canvas to decay, and
there are few canvases made to resist
its attacks To prevent this particular
form of decay the back of the canvas
should be painted when perfectly dry
with white lead.
