to begin before they lose their first set, as it makes them last longer, and
fixes the habit, which is of great importance.
To Clean Kid Gloves.
Take a piece of flannel; moisten it with a little milk; rub it on a cake of mild
soap, and apply it to the soiled spots on the gloves; as soon as the dirt is
removed, rub the spot with a dry piece of flannel, and dry them on the hands.
Care must be taken that the gloves are not made too wet, or they will have a
wrinkled appearance. Dark gloves that are worn in winter, should be exposed to
the sun for about a quarter of an hour in the spring, before putting them away,
or they will be liable to spot.
To Clean Papered Walls.
Cut the crust off of stale bread very thick, and rub the walls carefully from
top to bottom, in a straight line, using a fresh piece of bread as soon as it
looks much soiled.
To Take Old Putty from Window Glass.
Warm an iron, and rub it on the glass opposite the putty; this melts the oil,
and you may easily remove the putty.
Cutting Glass for Mending Windows.
If you want to cut glass for mending windows, and have no diamond, dip a piece
of cotton twine into turpentine, and stretch it tightly across the glass where
you wish to break it; then set the string on fire, and after it is burned, break
the glass while it is warm.
