them, and a seasoning of salt, pepper and
butter, offer a pleasant variation from the

BoRAx IN H LAUNDRY.
The excellent washerwomen of Holland
and Belgium, who get up their linen so
beautifully white, use refined borax in
stead of soda, in the proportion of one
large handful of powder to about ten gal
Ions of boiling water. Borax, being a
neutral salt, does not In the slightest de-
gree iniure the texture of the linen. Those
who try this will be pleased with the re-
suit. It is also nice to wash blankets or
weollen goods in this n
