Furniture sam.

A knowledge az how to make and

is valuable to young housekeeper
whose income is limited, for with
slight practice 1t is often possible to
make artistic pieces Of furniture out
OF plain white wood chairs, tables, etc,
In making very dark coloring a
half pound OF madden and two ounces
Of logwood chips should be boiled
gently for an hour In gallon Of wa
ter This should then be strained and
applied to the wood while hot It
should he put on evenly with fat
brush. The finish requires a pearl ash
solution that Is made BY putting two
drains OF the ash into a quart of wa
ter. This is not applied until the stain
ed wood is dry.
For light shade two ounces Of
bruised dragons blood are put into
bottle with a quart of turpentine. The
jar Is corSed and placed in warm
spot near or on a radiator. is shaken
occasionally until the blood is dissolv-
cd and then applied with a brush.
The other mahogany stain is apt to
be understood best BY those who know
something Of mixing colors. Raw sien-
ma is ground and then mixed with
beer, thus making light shade.
Then burnt sienna that has been
ground IS added in proportion to the
tint wished and put on rather thin

mediately with a piece of cotton or
other soft substance.
When quite dry the surface may be
oiled or vanished Cold drawn linseed
oil is a good yarnish or polisher. To

pie work for an amateur, but success
is not so certain when an old chair or
table is to be renovated. However.
doing over an old piece would not be
difficult IL 1t were understood that the
wood viii not take new stain until all
the old varnlsh, whatever it may be is
removed.
The easiest way Of getting of the
old finish Is to put on a saturated solu-
ton Of sal soda that is, as much soda
as can be dissolved in water. With a
