> The Steam Washer .
{, a y --oR- u j
" 0 II ANS FRIEN D

CTRAM has long been known as the most
~ powerful agent in removing dirt, grease
and stains from clothing, and bleaching them
white. Paper-makers have for many years
used steam in cleaning and bleaching their
rags, and they succeed in making by its
agency, the ilthiest pickings from the gutter
perfectly pure and white. Until the inven.
tion Of
The Steam Washer, or WOman's
Friend, rs
although often attempted, no method had
been discovered Of applying steam directly
to the clothing, which could be used in .
profitable manner for domestic purposes
The WOMAN'S FRIEND washes without Ia
Dor. 1t will do the washing Of an ordinary
family in thirty minutes to an hour. The
STEAM WASHER is superior to all other de.
vices, for the following reasons: E
lst. 1t does its own work, thereby saving
a large portion of the time usually taken in
family. aw os-si .f..e-.-
2. 1t uses much less soap than is required
by any other method.
8. 1t requires no attention whatever while
the process of cleaning is going on. A lady
can do her washing while she is eating her
breakfast and doing up the breakfast dishes.
4. Clothing wears double the time, washed
in this WASHER, that it will washed by a
machine, or by hand labor, or a washboard.
5. Lace curtains, and all fine fabrics. are
washed in superior manne For flsnnels 1t
this Washer is most desirable, as it will not
full them as machine or hand-rubbing does.
All fabrics, from the finest lace to a bed
blanket, can be washed perfectly, and with
ease, without the rubbing board.
1t is truly LABOR and C20tltes-saoing Intention
could give thousands Of certificates as 70
merits, but none can be satisfied until they
see it in operation. 1t only needs to be seen
to be appreciated.
DIRECTIONS:
l. Soak the clothes over night in warm
suds-in the usual manner. Rinse, and put
them through the wrinser. ssIJoAz ris (
2. Put in the bottom of the Washer guar
ter of a bar of good soap, or enough to make
good suds, sliced up thin, then fasteu down
the false hottom-see that the center valve il
in the proper position; put in water enough
20 cover the cap over the valve, say about ar
inch; lsy the clothes down smoothly, with the
-soiled parts we'll soaped, in the Washer-no'
rolled up, but spread out SO that the watel
can circulate freely-and carefully pack tn,
clothes down;see that the fire is hot, sufiicisn
to generate steam; when the water boils il
will begin to fow up the tubes on the out
side at the ends Of the Washer, and through
the holes into the Washer again; after
steady circulation has been going on in thi
manner for about thirty'to forty minutes, tn,
washing will be completed. Rinse we'll, auc
wiring out-same as in the usual way. Col
ored cloths must not be mixed with white
use soft water for boiling. always. If hard
use soda, ley,or make It soft in any other way
e If it Is desired to bleach with the Washer
this may be ions by adding q tablespoonful
of borax Of commercs to washer full o

The AngOra Goat.

The hair of this animal has become so
valuable an article OF commerce, and so
little is known generally OF the animal
which produces it, that the following ac-
count from an East Indian letter to an
English paper will interest our readers:
The AngOra goat isa native of Castam-
bul. which is the most northern district
in Asia Minor, situated about SO miles
from the south coast Of the Black Sea.
The region is mountainous, and abounds
with oak and other shrubs. This is the
finest class of Angora goat. and the kind
which gives the best quality of hair. Sep
tember is the best time for purchasing.
There are three "best breeds" but each
varies in appearance and quality. They
are thus classed: Castambul, the finest
quality and highest luster; Angera, the
next finest, but less lustrOus; and Bay
Bazar, the lowest in quality and luster
but the longest in staple and the heavies'
in fleece. The natives cross the finel
qualities of CastaEbul and AngOra witt
. the Bay Bazaar bucks, and sometimes uic
versa. This is to keep up the size, ant
, increase the weight of fleece. The Ango
ra and Bay Bazaar districts are not noun

mitted premises not only to old results,

Nature wider than the discovered law,
but in strict analogy with it, and presents

add an Illustration to those advanced by
Professor Clifford in elucidatiOn of his po-
sitiOn. Modern Chinese civilization Is
good example of the working out OF tech
nical thought; while the contemporary
history of the AnglO-SaxOn ra ce demon
strates the working of scientific thought.
We are apt, perhaps, to underrate the
mental processes which form the motive
power of the national life of the Chinese.
Some observers have spoken of mcchani-
cal and industrial operations in the Ceies-
tial Empire as purely anu Dllnuiy ili'd
tive. But the Chinese do not go to work
blind. In the designing and construction
of palaces and bridges their engineers and
architects exercise form of Intelligence
scarcely distinguishable from that of our
own engineers and architects. who design
and build on we'll recognized principles.
| The Chinaman is, in fact, not specially inn
itative; he is conservative. He does not
copy anything new, but follows always in
the old track. We must give the race
credit for intelligence equal to the work
they are doing, but there is no margin:
They have no scientific thought and
therefore noprogress. When did original
thinking cease to operate in China! L,
