WAsulSe MADE EAsY.-Some time
ago we learned that a new system OF
washing had been introduce in some OF
the German towns, which did away with
the des ructive use Of the wash board
and pounding barrel, rs likewise the ru-
nous washing iiuid. crystal and sodas
heretofore used. Since then, this Same
system has been adopted in some OF the
French towns with satisfactory econom.
ical results.
The process is saving OF time. labor
and fuel and it is said that. while tho
clothes are given wliiteness. unequaled
! to that obtained 10y any other method OF
washing. the mos, delicate fabrics are in
10 way injured.
( 1t is simply to dissolve two pounds
OF hard soap in little water, and with
it added To- ten gallons OF warm water
one spoonful OF turpentine oil, aud two
spoonfuls OF ammonia. Mix thoroughly
with the water which should be kept ut
temperature in which the hand can bc
held Into this solution place the whito
! clothes. and leave them from two to
| three hours. covered rs tightly as posi-
BILE. Then take out and wash once
/ through warm watcr-little rubbing be-
/ ing necessary. Rinse through two wa.
tiers. the last blued, and the clothes are
ready for the line. The solution can be
reheated AMI use twice, but the second
time is is necessary to add one 'half
| spoonful OF turpentine aud another
spoonful OF ammonia.
We give this bit Of foreign economy,
so that those OF our friends who have an
experimental turn OF mind, can Try the
method. and prove for themselves whe-
Their this laudel process is superior t0
our Old and well-tricd mode OF. washing.
