Grease Spots in Carpets.

There are several ways to remove grease spots. Perhaps the easiest and most effectual would be to take up the carpet, lay the spot over a large tub and pour over the place a quantity of naphtha. After it has passed through take it up and pour it over the spot again and again, it will not in any way injure the carpet, and is quite certain to remove all of the grease. If howevei, there is any gummy feeling remaining, rub the spot with chloroform. L’se it freely or it will do no good. Indeed, both tlje naphtha and chloroform must be fairly poured on or very little good will be done. In using either the utmost cure must be used to keep the vapor away from the fire, as it is highly inflammable and makes a dangerous blaze in jin instant. —[New York Ledger.
