It is u-nally a disagreeable task we know, wi h the spl Ucring of soap an 1 water; but we can give her a more simple nre : To enough tepid water to cover -the bristles, not tiie top of the brush, add a few drops of the spirits ot nart horn, m ounce of which my be had for sixpe .ee at any apothecary's; dip the brush veral times, shaking out the water carefully, and the mixtuie will act like magic, leaving it clear ai d pure, needing only to be dried by a towel ; no rubbi- g is rn-e led.
