A knowledge Of how to make and
apply furniture stains and varnishes
is valuable to a young housekeeper
whose income is limited. for with
slight practice It 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 madder and two ounces
Of logwood chips should be boiled
gently for an hour In a gallon Of wa
ter. This should then be strained and
applied to the wood while hot. II
should be put on evenly with a 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 a light shade two ounces Of
bruised dragons blood are put into a
bottle with a quart Of turpentine. The
jar Is corked and placed in a warm
spot, near or on a radiator, Is shaken
occasionally until the blood is dissolv-
ed 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 a light shade.
Then burnt sienna that has been
ground is added IN proportion to the
tint wished and put on rather thin
with a soft brush, wiping It over i'm
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 varnish or polisher. To
stain a new piece Of furniture is SIM
pie work for an amateur, hut success
Is not SO certain when an old chair OF
table Is TO be renovated. However.
doing over. an old piece would not be
difficult If It were understood that the
wood will not take new stain until all
the old varnish, whatever 1t may be, is
removed.
The easiest way Of getting or 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 e
stiff scrub brush this liquid should be
applied while hot, so it will eat off the
surface coat. A stiff scrub brush is
best for putting 1t on with.
Then the article must be allowed te
dry before the new finish is applied

be taken that the component parts OF
the composition detach themselves
clearly and make harmonious and con-
trasting arrangements OF line. Any or

to be preferred. Exposure should be

Furnishings as cheaply if this were a spe-
cialty shop. Being dependent on this one
line for only a small proportion of our prof

Without the sacrifice of particle of style
