oLD-FAsHIoNED DYES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The use of homemade dyes formed more than half the usefulness and beauty of the old hand-woven carpets; and drawn in rugs the following colors have stood the test of time:
 YsIlow; Boil the material to be dyed in water to which has been added 1 at. of the outside skin of onions and one ounce of alum--continue boiling until the desired color is obtained.
 0reen: Boil the goods in water containing equal parts of the bark of hickory and yellow oak until the tone of color wished is obtained.
 Drab: Peel 1 at. bark from a willow boil 1-2 hour in two quarts of wa ter; then add a piece of alum the size of an egg, wash material and while wet put 1t into the hot dye and turn often, boiling Is or 20 minutes. Be sure and keep the material covered with the dye.
 Red: Dissolve alum in water. al- lowing ounces for every pound of goods to be dyed. Add to the solu- ton 1-2 pound madder red. Put in material and boil one-half hour; take out and allow 1t to air. then boil one- half hour more.
 Brown. Boil two pounds of rock moss in two quarts of water, to which has been added 1-2 ounce of alum (peach leaves may be used in the same way, or bark from a butternut tree to color brown).
 Black: Boil logwood chips for an hour. To quarts of dye add a hand ful of copperas; put in the goods to be dyed in while wet and boil until black.
 Indigo; Tie two ounces of indigo ir a thin white cloth. put 1t into a large earthern or porcelain Jar, and add wine until the dish is half full. Wet tho yarn or goods to be dyed; put into Jar and allow to remain all night Repeat for several days and night: till the color suits.
 Dear Ignorance. since no one hal answered your inquiry as to what il considered antique, would say I hay, articles so near 100 years old that think of them as being antique. Tn, older they are, the more antique the, may be considered.

relief. 1t is a harmless yet power
full healing remedy and sinks into
the diseased skin, destroying the

claim, we give back your money,
