Hair
(Black).
As
the
object
in
view
is
simply
to
dye
the
hair
without
tingeing
the
skin,
the
following
will
be
found
the
best:--Take
equal
parts
of
litharge
and
lime;
mix
well,
and
form
into
a
paste
with
water,
if
a
black
is
desired;
with
milk
if
brown.
Clean
the
head
with
a
small
tooth
comb,
and
then
well
wash
the
hair
with
soda
and
water
to
free
it
from
grease;
then
lay
on
the
paste
pretty
thick,
and
cover
the
head
with
oilskin
or
a
cabbage-leaf,
after
which
go
to
bed.
Next
morning
the
powder
should
be
carefully
brushed
away,
and
the
hair
oiled.
2701.
Leather

Use
No.
iv.
black
stain
(see
par.
1430),
and
polish
with
oil.
2702.
Gloves
(Nankeen).
Steep
saffron
in
boiling-hot
soft
water
for
about
twelve
hours;
sew
up
the
tops
of
the
gloves,
to
prevent
the
dye
staining
the
insides,
wet
them
over
with
a
sponge
dipped
in
the
liquid.
A
teacupful
of
dye
will
do
a
pair
of
gloves.
