To Darken Oak
Oak mar bo darkened by using
Jlllnid ammonia , which nay bo bought
from nny wholesale chomlst. The
wood to be darkened \ should ho placed

a pint or so of the ImnlOn'lpOllred '
Into 11 soup plate on the floor in the
center or the room. This done , shut
the entrance and secure any cracks
br pasting over them strips or pupor.
1emembel' ! that the ammonia docs not
touch the oak , but the gas that comes
from It acts upon the tannic acid in
the wood and browns It so deep that
a shaving or two may actually betaken
taken off without removing the color.
The depth of shade will depend en-
tll'oly upon lie IlualllHy or ammonia
used and the time the wood Is ex
llosed.
