Steaming Paper.

Stripping wallpaper from the walls of a room is a tedious and unpleasant task. The following method has been found to do this work satisfactorily: Remove all furniture from the room and take up the floor covering; place in the middle of the room some kind of a portable stove with a big pan of water on top. Light the stove and close all the windows and doors; when the room becomes fun of steam it will soften the paste which has been used for sticking the paper on the wall. After an hour or more of the steaming it will be easy to remove the paper. ’
