To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Soapstone, either natural or artificial, is much used, but some kinds are acted upon by water, and soon become pitted and rough. Slate is not affected by water, 114 THE CARE OF A HOUSE but is brittle, and sometimes cracks unaccount- ably ; and enamelled-iron arid solid porcelain trays, although otherwise clean, durable, and attractive, have the disadvantage that they must be made singly, and set side by side, so that, in the shifting of the clothes from one tray to an- other which the laundress... finds necessary, water finds its way between the trays to the laundry floor. Sets of trays, both of porcelain and enam- elled iron, are provided with brass caps, to cover the joints between them, but this is less effective than to make them with the front, back, and bottom each in one piece, as is usually the case with the slate and soapstone trays. Soapstone and slate trays usually have soap- cups, either of stone or metal, attached to them ; but separate rubbing-boards must be used. With the porcelain and enamelled-iron trays the soap- cup is of metal ; and, in a set of porcelain trays, one tray usually has a rubbing-board formed in the porcelain.
