Damp Buildings.

The following is from the Scientific MIS-
celLdHy: Damp, when it enters a house,
says DR.. f. X. Smith, comes in at the
roof, at the doors and windows, through
the walls, from the ground, or through
leaking of pipes. The enterance of damp
through the roof itself is fortunately so
unpleasantly conspicuous, owing to its
staining the ceiling, that it is not long in
being found out, and before repairs more
or less complete are made. But for this,
roofs would be more commonly untrust
worthy than they are, and injury to health
and life would Oftener occur through their
failure. Many roofs are, however, so con-
structed that in times of great rain and
snow an inudation is inevitable; and the
situation of such houses as are near trees
exposes them every autumn to the danger
of over1ows from cutters stopped up with
dead leaves. Roofs, to remain dry, should
be of sufficiently steep pitch for the
nature of their covering; flat tiles re-
quiring a sleeper roof than "pan tills,"
and these latter a sleeper roof than States
Whatever the covering, the material should
be good and we'll secured. Roofs should
be so arranged as to dispense, as far as
possible, with cutters and flats occurring
in the middle of the builing, but should,
if practicable, throw off the whole of the
water to the sides. The point where they
join should be especially vulnerable, aud
should be especially protected, either by a
lead flashing" or bya cement tillet, with
a small protection formed TO overhang it
in the briekwork. 1t is essential that tiles
or states should overlap one another suf1-
GENTLY, and that if The covering be OF
metal (as lead, zinc or copper it should
be so laid as to be free to expand or con.
tract with change of temperature and in
exposed situations it is essential for tiles,
and desirable for states, to be bedded in
mortar. This, however, must be so done
as not TO prevent their being free drip
from one tile or slate on TO another; other
wise the mortar will become satura ed,
and will conduct the water TO the inside
of the roof

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 not water. The water will imme-
diately pour over the shell all around and if it
bols otcr raise the lid. a.Ss
Keepup . ht FIRE for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out and Immediately sUDs them
through in soft water.- If any shade OF the dirt
remains. few fnBs 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 THOR
oUGHLY sUDs the clothing after boiling. Every
lady knows that the least rsrticle 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. 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,

Articles much soiled, may be left in for a second
boiling. White fannels may be beautiful washe
without FULLING) by this, process. They
should be put in when the water s hot, and rinsed
out in hot water. - s-.-r -x
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 washed in the ordinary way. may be he'd per-
fecty, without injury, by this process. The almost
absolute ne essity of using soft. or "broken, !"
water, is so we'll understood as to hardly need
mention here. SS
No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wrist bands and Collars
This Self washing Boiler more nearly does il than
any other device. Should shade or streak remain,
it i'll be found to be reduced and softened
disappear without the use of a wash board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing - washing. It
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 new process, which
alone would pay for Boiler many times during
sin le year, in almost any family, to say nothing
Of the important consideration Of saving labor.

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce a.complete reyouion in sny de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, d Year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in stwenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of ius
sanity. But it has been demonst strated beyond any
doubt that this process only cleans the clothes,
but that garments thus washed become yhiter and
clearer the longer it issused Some people ssggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such surposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the
perence of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing. -
Every body who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
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
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers were sold in New York City in less
than five enths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred day. Ne
used it as 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

dation is to take the boiler and 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

your white clothing such bed and table linen
ladies' and gentiemens wear, and childrens' cloth

as long washe1 in this way as by the old method.
