SOMETHING NEW FOR HOUSEWIVES.
"A new mode Of washing linen has
been introduced and adopted in Ger
many. The operation consists in dis
solving two pounds of soap in about
three gallons of water as hot as the
hand can bear, and adding!to this one
tablespoonful of turpentine and three
of liquid ammonia; the mixture must
then be well stirred, and the linen
stepped in it for two or three hours,
taking care to cover up the vessel
which contains them as nearly hermet-
ically as possible. The clothes are af-
terward washed out and rinsed in the
usual way. The soap and water may
be re-heated and used IA second time,
but in that case hall a tablespoonful OF
turpentine and tablespoonful of am
monia must be added. The process is
said to cause great economy of time,
labor and fuel
