To Clean Paint Brushes.

No matter how hard a paint brush has become, it can be made as soft and clean as new, says R. A. GaHiher in Farm and Home, by simply boiling in water into which has been put a little lye. A little washing powder or soap will do, but it will take longer. The brush should be placed on end and the boiling water should be no deeper than the length. of bristles, as the boiling suds will injure the handle. Turpentine will clean paint brushes, but not after they have become real hard.
