 inches square of green baize cloth, a quarter 

 of a pound of alum, boil them in three pints 

 of soft water half an hour slowly, let it stand 

 till near cold; then put your gut, or hair, in for 

 an hour, and if it is too bright a green, take 

 some ink and give it what shade you please 

 between a green and bluish water colour*.
