HARDENING A SOFT STONE DOOR—STEP .

If your doorstep is wearing away because of the soft nature of. the stone, you can harden it with very littleltrouble, at; the cost of only a few coppers.

Cleanse the step with hot water and a. good hard soap, and let it dry thoroughly. Obtain an ounce of sulphate of alumina from the chemist and dissolve it in a pint of water. Apply the liquid to the stone .with a swab of woollen cloth, and, when dry; give the step a coat of potash waterglass, also obtainable from the chemist.

‘ Both these solutions should be ap‘ plied until they saturate the stone for ‘a depth of about half‘an inch. Should ;they not penetrate the stone quickly, the process may be speeded up by adding a little water. What remains of the solution after drying for five minutes should be wiped away with a rag, otherwise the crystals formed by the evaporation of the water will necessitate cleaning the stone before the chemicals have time to do their work. In efiect, the chemicals unite and form a hard silicate in the pores of the stone, and give it a flint-like surface, which is unaffected by rain or frequent washings. Stone floors, Window~sills, crazypaving, bench slabs and ornamental stone flower-vases, which show signs of wear, owing to the sandy nature of the materials, or through constant exposure to atmospheric influences, may be successfully treated in the SL1?“ way. “here a large area is to be covered, the liquids are best applied by spraying with a gardener’s syringe. ___—.__“ SUPERI‘LUOUS HAIR DESTROYED.‘ By “ RUSMA " (Regd.)
