HINTS ON WASHING.
Combining the Cleansing Process With II
Preservation of the Goods Washed.

Combining the Cleansing Process With tho
Preservation of the Goods Washed.
Washing is so common thing tina,
one might readily suppose every house
wife familiar with the mysteries of it.
And so they frequently are, SO far, at
least, as enables them to make things
look clean, but how few can combine
this cleansing process with the preserva
ton of the articles which are washed
Almost invariably the same system is
used in washing articles of every de-
scription. l have been told by gen.
tleman who has had much experience in
hiring help for the laundry in hotels,
that it is exceedingly difficult to get
good laundresses even there, where there
is not SO great variety of washing to
be done as in private families. In wash
inc plain, white clothes a few general
rules will suffice. First, never put your
clothes to soak the night before wash
day, unless you use warm water and
soap them well. 1t is not necessary to
soak them at all. For washing. prepare
tub of warm water with a little soda,
which is not at all injurious to the
clothes if used in reasonably small guam
titles. If there are spots on any article,
wet them first in cold water, then take
each article separately and put it
into the warm water, soaping
well all the parts that are much
soiled. When your tub is well filled
push the clothes back and add hot wa
ter, but be careful not to put it on the
clothes, or you will be likely to scald
the dirt into them. Wash them twice
before boiling, and rinse thoroughly
after. The washerwoman of Belgium
and Holland, SO proverbially effective
in their work, use borax instead of soda;
it saves soap, softens the hardest water,
and does not in the least njure the
texture of the linen. Colored muslins
or lawns must be washed one by one
in cold water. If they are very dirty,
above all, be careful not to use the
smallest particle of soda The best
soap for articles of this material is the
common yellow. A small piece of alum
should be boiled in the water in which
the lather is made. The soap should
not be allowed to remain any time in
the linen, but the articles washed
should be rinsed Immediately after
washing, and hung out to dry. Leave
all the articles beside the tub, washing
each separately. They must be ironed
as soon as they dry, and not allowed to
remain damp over night nor sprinkled.
Do not iron with hot irons. Pink and
green tints may withstand the washing,
but will be likely to change color as
soon as a hot iron is put on them

CHANGE OF WORK.
Very Satisfactory and Beneficent Form
Recreation.

"A very SATISFACTORY behehcehC Il oFH
of Recreation.
Change of work is one form of recre-
alton, because, it may be presumed, the
new employment occupies a different
portion of the brain, and the one that
has worked obtains rest. Monotony of
occupation is always irksome, no doubt
because certain portions of the brain are
exclusively occupied. A hard-worked
man should think no form of recreation
beneath his notice; he is fortunate if he
has a really satisfactory hobby or two.
Talleyrand's representation of the kind
of old age that awaited the man who did
not know whist, Is full of truth, if it be
applied to amusements and hobbies in
general Perhaps its author would
scarcely have recommended whist for an
old man had he been able to foresee the
bewildering notifications which have
been made in the way of playing the
game. In this, as in other things, the
tendency is to turn play into work.
Let us hope, however, that some Of our
simpler forms of recreation may
be permitted to survive at least
for our time. Books remain,
and we may be thankful for the
stock we already possess. Reading offers
the most available means of recreation.

vouched For by a Preacher.
Washington (Ga.) Gazette.


One day last week Mr.. Bob Griffin, re-
siding near Smiths Mills, made the best
shot at wild turkeys we have ever yet
chronicled We had better state how
he killed them before we give the number.
He had made blind and baited for the
birds. When they discovered their morn
ing meal they punched, and were eagerly
devouring it when Mr.. Griffin turned loose
both barrels of his gun on them. Seven
turkeys were left on the field, only four OF
the drove flying off. Even with his fine
chance for shot Mr.. Griffin says he was
surprised himself when he found
he had killed SO many. At the auspi-
cious moment he was so feverish with
excitement he could scarcely keep his gun
in range of the turkeys. All of this is
vouched for by well-known Baptist
preacher who lives in the neighborhood.
