woollen can he washed, If necessary, in the same
suds with linen and cotton. This may seem strange
TO those who do not know the principle upon
which it works. 1t is the only machine ever in
vented that washes upon the principle of the fric.
ton of water alone. All others wash upon the
principle OF friction rubbing, by bringing the
clothes in contact with some part of the machine.
Independent Of the great saving Of labor. economy
should bring il into general use. The poor man
