—Pad the pieces in the aluminous mordant of spec. grav. 1·027, page 224 . Dry in the hot flue; and after hanging up the goods during 3 days, wince well through chalky water, and then dye, as follows :— For each piece of 28 or 30 yards, 8 ounces of cochineal are to be made into a decoction of 2 gallons in bulk, which is to be poured into a kettle with a decoction of 3 ounces of galls, and with 2 ounces of bran. The pieces are to be entered, and winced as in the madder bath, during two hours and a half; then washed in the dash wheel. On mixing with the amaranth bath a certain quantity of logwood, very beautiful lilacs and violets may be obtained.
