Nickel may be kept bright by being rubbed with wool saturated in ammonia. Alcohol and whiting make a good silver polish, also excellent for polishing plate glass mirrors. —A piece of flannel dampened -with spirits of camphor will sometimes remove stains from mirrors and window glass. Don’t use soap for varnished paper. Instead try half a pint of paraffin In a pailful of warm water. Dip a woolen cloth into this, wring it fairly dry and with it wash the walls. Polish with a dry linen cloth. A good use for the bits of Boap that accumulate on the toilet stands is to dry them out thoroughly by placing them on tins in the warming oven and then pounding to a powder.
