Illinois, twentysix per cent. Michigan,
seven and half per cent Rhode Island,
four per cent Taking the general advan-

the United States and Territories has increas-
ed from 81 ) 443, 32l-the number found by

In Belgium and Holland linen is prepar-
ed beautifully, because the washerwomen
use refined borax, instead of soda, as a wash
ing powder One large handful of borax is
used to every ten gallons of boiling water,
and the saving in soap is said to be one-half.
For laces and cambrics an extra quantity is
used. Borax does not injure the linen, and
it sottens the hardest Water. 4 teaspoon
full of borax added to an ordinary sized ket-
tie of hard water, in which it is allowed to
boil, will effectually soften the water
