Directions,

Fill the boiler with soft 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-
diately pour over the shell all around, and if it
boils over raise the lid
Keep up a hit 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 SUBS 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 FRO
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. II the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&c.
Articles much soiled may be left in for second
boiling. White 1annels may be beautiful washed
without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
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 laces,
cambrics, &C., such as would nearly fall to pieces
if fwashed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
fecty, without injury, by this process. The almost
absolute necessity of using soft, or "broken," !"
water, is so well understood. as to hardly need
mention here.
No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wristbands and Collars
This Self washing Boiler more nearly does it than
it i'll be found to be reduced and sofened as to
disappear without the use Of a wash board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding 2
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 long if washed by this new process, which
alone would pay for Boiler many times during
single year, in almost any family, to say nothing
of the important consideration cf saving labor.

Self-Operating
Clothes Washer and Boiler !
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 or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone.
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond apy
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 a supposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradieted 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 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 II onths, from one stand and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred day. Ne
""SS'Si uSOu IL dS uiIecteu not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months Among
the names are those of the most distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best fecommen-
dation is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just as you are directed and you will be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to us all matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
investment. 1t will return a yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies' and gentemens' wear, and childrens' cloth
ing, only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
long washed in this way as by the old method
Thus, you actually save $50 year by investing 10
200 per cent. annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends moro than here stated but this
is taken as 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 family 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 60 out of of the house.

AGooD REsoLUTIoN-The following
joint resolution, having for its object the
securing of their homes to settlers, has
been introduced in the House of Repres-
entatives by Hon. james A. johnson, of
this Congressional District:
Whereas, The Congress of the United
States has never rightfully assumed to have
the constitutional power to deprive an
American citizen who has gone upon the
public lands in way and manner made law
ful by Acts of Congfess, of the right to
perfect his entry, though the land officers
may have refused to discharge their duties
in filing the original declaration, receiving
the entry fees, or in any other respect
Therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States Of
America in Congress assembled, That nc
Court or tribunal of the United States
shall construe any law or Act of Congress
as defeating or rendering invalid any home
stead or pre-emption when an equity ha:
once attached in favor OF such claim, ex.
cept for abandonment alone.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Scientific
American recommends turpentine as a
certain cure for lockjaw. He says: "Let
any one who has an attack of lockjaw take
q small quantity of turpentine, warm it and
pour it on the wound, no matter where the
wound is or what its nature is-and relief
will follow in less than one minute Moth
ing can be applied to severe cut or bruise
that is better than cold turpentine; it will
give certain relief almost instantly 1t is
also said to De a sovereign remedy for
Group. Saturate piece of flannel with it
and place the flannel on the throat and
chest-and in very severe cases three to
five drops on lump of sugar may be taken
inwardly. Every family should have a
bottle on hand" 1t is a simple remedy
and can be easily tested. In all serious
cases application should be made under
medical advice,

Error. in the Treatment of the Horse.

In the midst of change, improvement, re-
form, says the Philadelphia Ledger, quite a
number Of questionable old notions continue
to be followed, even now when the very erro-
neous character or some of them has been ac-
knowledged. OF this character is the adhe-
renee of majority of drivers of horses to that
useless and iDj lrious relic Of old times, the
check-rein. Its use with draft horses is posi-
lively cruel. When horse is drawing a
heavy load, and particularly "up-hill," he
needs the utmost freedom of lungs and wind,
and this he cannot have with tight check
rein.
In England, where they are far ahead Of us
in everything pertaining TO horses, the check
rein has been abolished; the last surrender,
being that of the Artillery and commissariat
trains of the British Army, the change hav-
ing been made by the Commander in-chief,
and he testifles to the benefits of it.
