PAINT (FIREPROOF). — Mix furnace slag with boiling acid
until a jelly-like substance is produced, of which take sixteen parts and mix
with eight parts of silicia, twenty-three parts of oxide of zinc, twenty-three
of silicate of soda, and thirty of lime water ; the product to be added to the
colours or varnishes as desired. This will render the wood with which it is
covered both incombustible and impervious to moisture.
Another method : — Grind in oil one part of fine sand, two parts of wood
ashes, and three parts of slaked lime. Give to the work two coats, one
thin and the next thick.
PAINT, Solvent for. — See Putty and Paint, Solvent for Old.
PAINT, To Clean. — Take a small quantity of whiting on a damp
flannel, rub slighdy over the surface, and rinse with clear water. The
effect will be surprising.
PAINT, To Destroy the Smell of. — Place in the newly-painted
room a vessel full of lighted charcoal, and throw on it a couple of handfuls
of juniper berries. Shut the windows, chimney, and door close for twenty-
four hours, by which time the unwholesome smell will be entirely gone. It
need scarcely be said that no person must remain in the room while the
charcoal is burning.
PAINT (VARNISHED). — See Varnish for Paint.
PAINTINGS (REVERSIBLE). — Paint a winter landscape, or
other appropriate subject, with ordinary colours ; then make a dilute solu-
tion of cobalt in nitro-muriatic acid, and with this paint the snow and a
foliage to the trees, and let it dry. When brought near the fire the solution
will become a green colour, and thus change the wintry appearance of the
view into one of summer ; when cold the picture will resume its former
appearance.
PALETTES (WOODEN), To Prepare. — By rubbing in as
much raw linseed oil as the palette can be made to imbibe, and allowing it
20

to dry thoroughly, the wood will not afterwards absorb the colours. It
should be kept free from scratches and indentations, and the colour never
allowed to harden upon it. As a palette thus prepared has a hard and
polished surface, no difficulty will be found in cleaning off the colours.
PALPITATION OF THE HEART, To Relieve.— Socotrine
aloes, gum-mastic, and powdered rhubarb, of each one scruple ; make into
a dozen pills, and take one before and one after dinner. Mix together six
drams of ammoniated tincture of valerian and seven ounces of camphor
mixture. A fourth part to be taken three times a day.
Chalk has likewise a very quieting effect upon the heart, and can be
obtained by the poorest person.
PANADA FOR FARCES. — Soak in milk the crumbs of a
twopenny roll for about half an hour, then squeeze out all the milk and
put the crumbs into a stew-pan with a little bechamel (see Sauce) and a
spoonful of stock or gravy. Put into a small saucepan a little butter, a
small piece of ham, some parsley, a few small shallots, and some mush-
rooms ; fry them gently over a slow fire ; when done moisten with a spoon-
ful of broth ; let it boil for twenty minutes, then drain the broth through a
sieve over the bread crumbs ; stir constantly till quite dry, then add a little
butter, let it dry again, then add the yolks of two eggs✪ Panada for Farces, and pour it out on
a plate to cool. When cold roll it into balls.
