Directions.

Fill the boiler with sofl water to within about
three inches Of the top of the inside boiler Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.
Bring the water to boil, and then place the
clothes in the hot water. The water will imme-
boils over raise the lid.
Keep up hot fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out and Immediately SUBS them
through in soft water If any shade of the dirt
remains. few rubs will take it all out Then
rinse them in clean water, wiring dry, and the wash
ing is done. Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.
The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital importance to THOR
OUGHLY SUDS the clothing after boiling. Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. brisk fire is important in order to pro-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted as dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&c.
Articles much soiled may be left in for a second
boiling. White fsnnels may be beautiful washed
(without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rnsed
out in hot water.
Colored clothes should not be mixed with white,
and unless the colors fast they should never be
washed by this process. The most delicate lacss,
cambrics, &C., such as would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
fectly, without injury, by this process The almost
absolute necessity of using soft, or "broken,"
water, is so we'll understood. as to hardly need
mention here.
No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wristbands and Collars-
This Self-wasbing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other, device. Should shade or streak remain,
it will be found to be SO reduced and sofened as to
disappear without the use of wash-board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing. 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than ONE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this process, which
aiene would pay for Boiler many times during

The Postmaster at San Antonio, Texas,
was not long since puzzled by the receipt
OF letter from New Orleans, directed to
"My Nanny, living in the City of San
Antonio" Ono day, however, a small,
herce-looking old woman appeared at the
p, stofhce window, saying, "Mister, have
you got any letter there from my Johnny 2"
The letter addressed to "My Nanny" was
at once given her at venture, and the
suspicion that it was intended for her
proved correct.

PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
The Best Labor-Saving Clothes Cleaner
ever invented.
Thomas Greene, sole Proprietor of the
Patent Right for the Pacific Coast.

There are but few inventions discoveries
which produce a complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such asuppostion has no
foundation in fact, and is contradcted by the ex-
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.
Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be seen to be fully appre-
ciated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement
Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than a
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred day. Ne
one ever used it directed that did not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names those of the most distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best recommen-
dation is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just as you directed and you will be more than
satisfied 1t appeals to all as matter of econ
emy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
investment. 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. ron the
money invested. For instance, We will suppose
your'white clothing such as bed. and table linen
ladies' and gentlemens wear, and childrens cloth
ing only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
as long washed in this way as by the old method.
Thus, you actually save $50 year by investing 10
OF 200 per cent. annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends than here stated but this
is taken as a very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con-
venience and comfort of the thing which, all taken
together, makes it luxury which no..fsmily can
well afford to be without.
This Boiler sells the best of any article ever offer
ed to the public Anybody after trying it fairly
will not let it go out of of the house.
