Five pounds hard soap, one quart ley, one-fourlh ounce pearl-ash; place on the fire and stir well until the soap is dissolved; add one-half pint spirits turpentine, one giU spirits hartshorn and stir well. It is then fit for use. The finest muslin may be put to soak in this suds, and if left for a time will become beautifully white. A small portion of soap put into a little hot water, and a flannel cloth will save hard labor and a brush in cleaning paint. One who has tried it thinks it worth the price of the book.
