Care of Brass.

All brass beds, brass handles and hardware used on furniture are lacquered to keep them from oxidizing. The less this lacquer Is rubbed, the' longer it will laßt If a good brass bed Is wiped off frequently with a perfectly clean, soft piece of cheescloth no other polishing will be necessary. When the lacquer does wear off and the brass becomes dull, the proper thing to do is to send it to a good factory to bo rebuffed and relacquered. Once in a while a brass bed may be wiped with a soft sponge wet with slightly soapy water, wiped again with a clean water and then dried immediately with soft cheesecloth or a very fine piece of chamois skin. If you drop acid on your clothes the Immediate application of ammonia will prevent damage.
