intended.

Pauline asks how to fume paper. Fuming albumen paper makes it
easier to print and tone. Freshly sensitized paper does not need
fuming, but paper that has been prepared some time should be fumed
before using. To do this pin the paper inside a box, a wooden
soap-box is just the thing, and set it over a saucer of ammonia
water. Cover the box with a blanket, and let it remain for fifteen
minutes. Use at once.

Commit to Memory

the best things in Prose and Poetry, always including good Songs and
Hymns. It is surprising how little good work of this kind seems to be
done in the Schools, if one must judge from the small number of people
who can repeat, without mistake or omission, as many as =Three= good
