and anxiety to her friends, and any thing bu,
comfort and pleasure to herself. Exposure
to the cold at times when she should be mos
prudent, and overtaxing her body with labor

NEW. MODE OF WASHING,

The i'll effects Of soda on linen have
given rise toa new method Of washing,
which has been excessively adopted in
Germany and introduced into Belgium.
The operation consists in dissolving two
pounds Of soap in about three gallons OF
water Is hot as the hand can bear, and
adding to this one tablespoonful of tur-
pentine and three Of liquid ammonia ;
the mixture must ther, be we'll stirred,
and the linen stepped in it for two or
three hours, taking care to cover up the
vessel containing them as nearly her
meticly as possible. The clothes are
afterward washed out and rinsed in the
usual way. The soap and water may be
heated and used = second time, but in
that case tablespoonful of ammonia
and : half tablespoonful of turpentine
must be added. The process is said to
cause great economy Of time, labor,
and fuel. The linen scarcely suffers at
all, as there is little necessity for rubbing,
and its cleanliness and color arc perfect,
The ammonia and turpcntine, although
their defensive action is great, have no
injurious effect on the linen and while
the former evaporates immediately, the
smell of tho latter is said to dis
appear entirely during the drying of the
clothes.

WASHING FINE UNDERcLoTH1NG.

of Hosiery goods in Philadelphia, gives

directions for washing merino, lambs

the articles to be washed, drawing them
repeatedly through the hand; wiring them
as dry as possible, to remove the soap;
rinse them again briskly in clean, luke
warm water; wiring and stretch them to
their proper shape, and dry in tho open

BREAD IN WINTER.

A lady writes an exchanged: That is
one Of the troubles that We women cx-
perience in the season of winter, making
bread. I was telling q lady yesterday
that if We could make as good bread, and
make it as easily in winter as in summer,
it would rob that gloomy season of one
of its annoyances. One hates to be tied
down to buckwheat cakes, corn cakes,
graham gems, biucuit, and all these kind
of hot cakes that tax ones time so mer.
cilessly; mean the women don't like it,
but~1'll warrant the men and boys think
it is real jolly, ha ha!
The lady to whom I referred said she

boris where they were baking, and She
had learned something new that might
profit me, as she was sure it would her.

the middle Of it, was standing on three
warm bricks, on chair beside the stove,
we'll covered over with WOODEN blanket
kept for that purpose, covered all over,
top. bottom, and sides. Then when the
bread was nodded, and the loaves were
put in pans, they were set upon the warm
bricks aud covered up. This is very
good arrangement, provided the bricks
are merely warm. A large pan is prefer
able to wooden bowl or tray for many
reasons.
Another woman of my acquaintance
who is troubled about keeping her yeast
and bread warm enough, while rising,
tells me she has hanging shelf over her
cook stove in the kitchen, which is an ex.
cellent arrangement and serves her pur-
pose admirably. five could prepare the
yeast and make and bake the bread in a
room of even temperature, as they do at
bakeries, We would succeed as we'll in get

think it is a good plan, on moder-

do very large baking--say dozen
loaves, and then when they begin to grow
stale and dry steam loaf at time, and
make it as good as new. If you have no
steamer-which by the way is an indis.
pensable articlc-dip the stale loaf sud.
denly, two or three times, into pail Of
water and then lay it into the oven for
twenty minutes or half an hour. By the
way, Lizzie says: "Do tell the girls how
