SOME SUMMER USES FOR BLUE PAPER. Blue paper is so easily made, and the materials are so cheap, that one can use a great deal of it and still not go to much expense.

Letter-paper may be sensitized, and a picture printed at the top, making a very attractive and original letter-head. Use unglazed writing-paper, and sensitize a strip at the top a little larger than the picture to be printed on it. As all the sensitizing solution not exposed to the light washes off when placed in water, cover all parts of the paper to which it has been applied while printing. After printing put the whole sheet in the water and wash till clear. After it is washed, blot off the superfluous moisture, and place the prints between clean sheets of white paper, and put them under a press till dry. A letter-press is the best, though it must not be screwed down too tight. Several heavy books, a box half full of stones, or a smooth board with several stones laid on top make good presses. Impressions of wood treasures may be taken on blue-print paper. The printing-frame must have a clear glass which just fits it.
