skim-milk to proper consistency to apply with brush, and it is ready
for use. It will adhere well to wood, smooth* or rough, to brick, mortar, or
stone, where oil has not been used, and forms a very hard substance, as dur¬
able as the best oil paint. Any color may be had by using colors dissolved
in whisky.
HITE-W ASH. —VERY NICE FOR ROOMS.— Whiting, 4 pounds ,
_ _ common glue, 2 ounces ; stand glue in cold water over night ; mix
whiting with cold water, heat glue till dissolved, and pour it hot into the
former. Make of consistency to apply with common white-wash brush.

seed ; boil half an hour ; take it off and add water enough to make
four gallons ; let it stand to settle ; pour off the water in a pail, and put in
enough of Spanish white to make it as thick as white-wash ; then add l/z
pint linseed oil✪ To Paint an Old House ; stir it well and apply with a brush. If the whiting does
not mix readily, add more water. Flaxseed having the nature of oil is
better than glue, and will not wash off as readily.
TO KILL KNOTS BEFORE PAINTING. —A mixture of glue size and
red lead, or shellac dissolved in alcohol and mixed with red lead, or,
gutta-percha dissolved in ether, will, either of them, make a good coating
for knots, but will not stand the sunshine, which will draw the pitch through
the paint. The best method is to cover the knot with oil size, and lay a leaf
of silver over it.
TO KILL GREASE SPOTS BEFORE PAINTING.— Wash over smoky
or greasy parts with saltpetre, or very thin lime white-wash. If soap¬
suds are used, they must be washed off thoroughly, as they prevent the
paint from drying hard.

worrying over their business ; women, even in the happiest
circumstances, are irritated by their household cares, — all be¬
cause the nerves will not submit to a perpetual strain of any
one kind. Hence, by the above slight signals, they' call for a
pause, or at least a “ change.” Too often they are not heeded,
and then upon the appearance of the slightest physical weak¬
ness, such as a cold, late hours, an indigestible meal, over¬
exertion, etc., etc., they rebel outright, and Neuralgia, Nervous
and Sick Headache, Backache, Faceache, Toothache, and ether
well-settled nervous disorders set in.
If the person be also weakened by long-continued anxiety,
grief, disappointment, losses in business, etc., etc,, the nervous
disorder may assume several of these types at once, and
threaten long duration. In multitudes of such cases Dr.
