Steam this slowly for an hour, then add thirty drops Quassia. Let stand

TO CLEAN BRITIANNIA WARE.--Britiannia ware should be washed with a
woolen cloth and sweet oil, then washed in water and suds, and rubbed
with soft leather and whiting. Thus treated it will retain its beauty
to the last.

THE ART OF PAINTING GLASS.--The only difference between ordinary
painting and painting on glass is, that in the latter all transparent
colors are used instead of opaque ones and the color is ground up with
Turpentine and Varnish instead of Oil. In painting upon glass it is
necessary to place the picture between the artist and the light to
enable him to see the effect, the light having the property of casting
a yellowish tinge upon all colors so exposed. To persons having a
knowledge of coloring, this art is easily learned, and affords a
handsome remuneration.

OIL PASTE FOR BLACKING BOOTS AND SHOES.--Two ounces Oil of Vitriol,
four ounces Tanner's Oil, mix and let stand forty-eight hours, then add
five ounces Molasses and one pound Ivory Black; stir well and then put
up for sale. This has been the fortune of Mason, of Philadelphia.

CRYSTAL CEMENT.--Dissolve one pound of White Glue in one and one-half
pints of hot water, then cut one ounce Gum Shellac in one and one-half
pints Alcohol, and mix with the glue, then stir in two ounces of dry
White Lead, and add one ounce of Turpentine. This makes the best cement
of anything that has been discovered. It will stand heat, and articles
will break in another place sooner than where put together. This is a
fortune to an enterprising man.

Verdigris one-quarter ounce. Mix and apply with a brush. Wash the stone
after with sponge and water. After the stone is clean rub it smooth
with Pumice Stone, keeping it wet with water. After some little
practice you can clean an old, dirty tombstone so that a marble cutter
cannot detect it from being new work.
