WASH YoUR OWN LAcRs-The 4

WASH Your OWN LACRs.-The diff.
Guilty of getting laces washed right, es-
pecially out of great city, is very great.
Every lady, therefore should know how
to wash her own thread lace. If any
fair lady is ignorant of this art, we can
teach her in q very few words. Let her
first rip off the lace, carefully pick out
the loose bits Of thread, and roll the lace
very smoothly and securely round clean
black bottle previously covered with old
white linen sewed tightly on. Tack each
end Of the lace with needle and thread,
to keep it smooth, and be careful in wrap
ping not to crumble or fold in any Of the
scollops or pearlings. After it is on the
bottle, take some of the best sweet oil,
and with clean sponge wet the lace
thoroughly to the Utmost folds. Have
ready, in wash-kettie strong lather
of clear water and white CASTLE soap.
Fill the bottle with cold water to prevent
It's bursting; cork it well and stand it up
night in the suds, with string round
the neck secured to the ears or handle of
the kettle, to prevent its knocking about
and breaking while over the fire. Let it
boil in the suds for an hour or more, till
the lace is clean and white all through.
Drain off the suds and dry it on the bot
tie, and Toll it around q wide ribbon
block, or lay it in long fold, place it with
IN sheet of white papers, and press it
ID large book for few days.

SUNDAY SCHOOLs.-The Young Mems
Christian Association have been collect
ing statistics of the Sunday schools in
Philadelphia, attached to Protestant
churches. There are one hundred and
ninety-three schools, four thousand eight
hundred and sixteen teachers, and forty
four thousand three hundred and eighty
seven scholars. The great disparity be-
tween the number Of teachers and pupils
cannot be overlooked. The proportion
is less than ten children to each precep-
tor. 1t would seem, from this, that there
Is greater anxiety among young people
to become teachers than there is among
the parents of younger people to send
them to Sunday schools. The Sunday
school is useful institution, and, with
the superabundance of instructors, there
Is no reason why the attendance of pupils
should not be larger -Pkila. SUNDAY
