Restoring Ended Ink.

Faded ink on old documents, papers, parchments, etc, may be restored so as to render the writing perfectly legi- ble. The process consists in moisten- ing the paper with water and then passing over the lines a brush which has been wetted with solution of sulphide of ammonia. The writing will immediately appear quite dark in color, and this color in the case of parchment will be preserved. On paper, however, the color will gradually fade again, but on a fresh application of the sulphide of ammonia it will reappear. Writing executed in ordinary ink which has been rendered nlegible by age may be restored by carefully moistening it with an infusion of gals or a solution of ferrocyanide of potassium slightly acfdulated with hydrochloric, acid. Care must be taken to apply the liquid SO as to prevent the ink from spread ing.

Led All the Guests.

Tn the days of King George III. Of
 ffngland the Persian ambassador to his court demanded, but was denied, prece- dence over all other foreign represents tives. He refused to go to court, caus- ing it to be reported abroad that he was i'll. He met the prince regent at the house of the Lady Salisbury of the time. 'T am very sorry to offend your royal highness by not going to court" he said. "Now. sir, my sovereign, he tell me go first; your people say I must go last. Now, this very bad for me when go back to Persia" So say ing, he made a significant pass toward bis head, expressing deeapitation. The prince tried to appease him. But, sir. you still angry with me. You have not invited me to your party tomorrow night" The prince explained that it was only a children's party, but the ambassador might come if he chose. He did choose, for he went and, being the only Ambassador there, led all the guests, thus scoring heavily for Persia, which made him comfortable about the neck again.
