How many wretched homes in orr land
How many hesrt.bfeken invalids! Life With
many signifies mere onerous existance. All
are subject to di.ease, but when health is re-
moved the hope is nearly gone out. Sickness
Is usually incurred through exposure Or care

diseases peculiar to woman. Through her own
imprudence and folly she is made to drag out

WASHING FINE UNDERCLOTHING.

A leading firm, importers and retailers
Of Hosiery goods in Philadelphia, gives
the Germantown Telegraph the following
directions for washing merino, lambs
wool, and silk underclothing, and that pa.
per bears witness to its excellence: Use
one pound of dissolved soap in four GAL
Ions of warm water, in which rinse we'll
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
air If possible. The only effects of rub.
bling are to shrink and destroy the
material; it should, therefore never be
resorted to. The material used in man
ufacturing silk underware being an an.
imal product, it is absolutely necessary
that nothing but the best quality Of soap
and warm water should be used. All
kinds of washing compounds destroy the
nature of the material, giving to
the fabric the appearance Of poor
cotton.

Gradually the bloom leaves her cheeks, her

She requires something which not only will
