Hints ON washing.
Whether To soak the clothes over
night or not is q much-disputed ques-
ton with housewives. Where pure els
tern water can be had it is doubtless an
advantage, but to soak clothes in hard
water sets the stains rather than re-
moves them, and river water, unless fl
tered when drawn off in quantities, rs n
rule, contains 50 much mud that it is
apt to streak the clothes soaked in 1t for
any considerable time. Wringers are O
blessed invention on the whole, although
hard on buttons. But ~fiannels should
not be passed through them, as they

Clothes should, If possible, be dried in
the sur and in the open air, and ''never
yet did housewife notably greet with .
smile a rainy washing-day." But when
Monday is rainy, it Is not always con-
v~enient to postpone the weekly wash.
In that case, sheets and any other large
white pieces which are not to be
starched, may he hung out in the rain,
which will bleach rather than injure
them. II possible, hang the smaller
pieces in an unused room up stairs,
when the rest may usually be disposed
of by hanging At night on lines stretched
across the kitchen, where the heat of the
! fire will dry them before morning.
| Blankets ought never to be washed in
rainy weather. Select q bright summer
! day for the work. and let it be done and
through with. Have two people to
wiring them and stretch and pull
them carefully when putting on
the lines. Then pull and fold them
dry and put under press instead Of IRON
ing. Unless care is taken to see that the
clothes pins and clothes lines are kept
clean, ugly spots and streaks win result.
The lines should never be left out over
night, unless it is necessary in order to
dry them after being caughtin a shower,
In such case they should be wiped with
q cloth before the clothes are again
hung on them. A Switchboard for iron
ing IS . necessity in every wellregulated
family. This should be covered with at
least two thicknesses Of blanket and have
the ironing-sheet also double, smoothly
pinned over it 50 that it can not slip.
Keep wax tied up in . rag to rub on the
irons. The polish on collars, etc.. done
up at large lhundries is given by means
| OF . polishing-iron and BY dint Of much
rubbing. It may be done BY any good
laundress, but takes much time and is
fearfnlly hard on the linen. Spermaceti

not aired in the laundry before bringing
them upstairs, IL should be thoroughly
done before they m put away. Ean-
nels should never be worn within .
week after they are washed. The seeds
