NRw PROCESS FOR WASHING LINEN.-In
Germany and Belgium substitute has
lately been introduced for soda in the
laundry, which, while It has all the deter
slve qualities of soda, does no injury to
the linen. Two pounds oil soap are dis
solved in about five gallons of water as
hot as the hand can bear. To this are
added one tablespoonful of oil of turpen-
tine and three of liquid of ammonia
This mixture is then well stirred, and in
it the clothes are stepped for three hours,
the wsshtub being covered up as Care
fully as possible. Next the clothes are
washed, rinsed and blued as usual The
mixture will serve second time, only it
must be reheated and one-half spoonful of
oil of turpentine and one and one-half of
ammonia added 10 it. The process econ
omizes time, labor and fuel. The clothes
are not injured because the ammonia evap-
crates very quickly; and as for the smell
of the turpentine, that disappears in the
drying.

EGGs.--The egg traffic of this country
has risen to an Importance which few COM
prehend. The aggregate transactions IN
New York City alone must amount to fully
SIS, 900, 900 per annum and in the United
States to S3ls, 900, 900 The perishable
nature of eggs has naturally detracted from
their value Gs a standard article OF diet.
The peculiar excellence of eggs depends on
their freshness. But lately the process of
crystallizlng has been resorted to, and by
this process the natural egg is converted in-
to a vltreons substance of delicate amber
tint, in which form it Is reduced seven
eights in bulk compared with barrel eggs
and retains its properties for years, unlm-
paired, in any climate. In this form eggs
may be transported without injury. either
to the equator or the poles, and at any
time Can be restored to their original con-
dition by adding the water which has been
artifcially taken away. The chief egg
deslccaiIng companies are In St. Louis and
New York. No salts or other extraneous
matters are introduced In the process of
crvstallizing, the product Is simply con-
solidated mixture OF yolk and alDumen-
Immense quantities of eggs are preserved
IN the spiing of the year by lining. Thus
treated they are coed tor every purpose
except boiling. 1t is a common fraud FOR
some dealers to palm off eggs so treated as
fresh, so that imposition is EARLY practiced-
In the desiecating process, however, the
difference becomes apparent, as from four
to five more lined eggs are required to
make pound of eggs crystallizec than
when fresh are used, and eggs in the least
tainted will no. crystaliZe at all.

The best wash tnat we ever heard of Is
made as follows: For one barrel of color
wash-Half bushel white lime, 8 pecks
hydraulic cement, 10 pounds umber, 10
pounds ocher, lpound Venetian red, quarter
pound lampblack. Slake the lime; cut the
lampblack with vinegar; mix well together;
add the cement, and flll the barrel with
water. Let it stand twelve hours before
using, and stlr frequently while putting it
on. This is not white, but of light stone
color, without the unpleasant glare of
white. The color may be changed by
adding more or less of the colors named,
or other celors- The wash covers well,
needing only one coat, and is superior 10
anything known, excepting oil paint. We
have known a rough board barn washed
with this to look well for five years. and
even longer, without renewing. The

ready Tor the start at the appointed hour. At
about 80 o'clock the hounds were thrown of and
dashed across the field. followed by the hunters.
The music of the dogs was soon heard, and large
red fox sprang into view. The chase was excel

as IL they had been dry twigs and mud puddies.
Afer a chase for sone hours the fox was run 10
cover, and several were determined 10 dig him out
After laboring for almost an hour, they struck a
double hole or fork Of the original den, and were
obliged to give up the undertaking. The dogs
were thrown of again and second red fox un-
covered. The chase, which was mostly through
the Hampton property, and al,o as far as Glen
Ellen. continued until o'clock, when the second
fox found his den. and he, too, was lost. The
hunters then returned 10 the Hampton mansion,
where n beautiful luncheon was served.
