The UsURY LAws-The Baltimore
American says: The usury laws will
be very generally brought to the atten-
tion of the State Legislatures this win
ter with view either to their entire ab-
rogation or liberal modification. In
North Carolina bill has been introduced
to amend these laws in several important
particulars. 1t is proposed that the
regular interest shall be, as now, six per
cent. per annum, upon q sale of any
goods, chattels, wares, and merchandise,
unless, by special contract or writing
between the parties, higher or lower
rate be fixed 1t is also proposed that in
suits at law judgment shall be rendered
for the principal money and the interest
due, according to the rate agreed upon
and stipulated: Provided, however, that
such rate shall and may be reduced to
six per centum per annum upon the spe-
cial plea of the defendant. The Massa-
ehusetts Legislature, as well as that of
New York, will be petitioned to revise
the present laws upon the subject.

Of the recent election for members of tie

B0RAx WASHING RRCIpE.-A number
of new subscribers have requested us to
republish this recipe, which appeared in
q former number. We have been wait.
ing to give the results of some careful
experiments which were being made in
our own family, but which were broken
OIL by sickness. Enough, however, was
asceTtained to convince US that there is
really great advantage in adding a
small quantity of borax to common hard
soap, previous to usingit In washing. Our
msthod is as follows: To every pound of
hard soap add from one.half to three
quarters OF an ounce of common borax,
with one quart Of water. Put the water
IN any convenient vessel upon the stove.
add the borax, somewhat pulverized, and
then put in the soap cut up in thin
pieces. Keep them hot-but not boiling
for two or three hours, or until the
whole is well dissolved, and then set it
aside to cool, when solid mass will be
formed. If the vessel is set upon the
warm stove at night, the operation will
be completed in the morning. Though
we think it better to stir the mass lust
before it is cooled.
The night before washing, rub the
clothes where most soiled, with the soap.
and soak in water till morning. This
soap, which has been more than double
in quantity. will 90 quite as far, bulk for
bulk, as the original, thus saving at
least one half. The boiling and washing
are to be performed in the usual manner:
but it will be found that the labor of rub
bing is diminished three. .fourths, while
the usual caustic or eating effect of the
soap is greatly lessened and the hands
will retain peculiarly soft and silky
feeling, even after large washing. The
preparation is adapted to all kinds of ia
brics, colored or uncolored, including
fiannels; and it is thought to increase
their whiteness. By using this prepara-
ton, with the previous soaking over
night, we have had sixteen dozen pieces
finished early in the forenoon, when, by
the old process, it would have been an
" all days job"
