To Fs-at an Egg.

ANY cnllU KNOWS now 10 peat an egg,
which is true SO fur as that any one by
dint of patience and q fork can beat an
egg to a froth, but one person will take
fifteen minutes and have it less light
than another in five. The one will beat
fast, carrying the fork back and forth,
but entangling very little air; the other
will lit the egg, as it We're, with ench
beat and throw it over the fork. This
is the proper way and does the woyk in
half the time. Acquire the habit ri
beating eggs. or anything else. from the
elbow, not using the whole arm: the
fatigue will be much lessencd. The use
of cgg-beaters has made egg-beating for
cakes, such a formidable task in our
mothers days, n very light IL i'll ours,
but for betting just one egg q fork, even
with n beaten, however. the best results
are obtained by observing certain rules.
In hot weather leave the eggs i'll ice
water or on ice for some time before
using. 1t is not a good plan, however,
to keep all your eggs on ice. because
they then become so thoroughly chilled
that in boiling them you cannot estimate
the time required. and should they be-
come frosted they are inferior for all
purposes. In beating the whites of
eggs n tiny pinch of salt will tend to
facilitate the wOrk.-GOOM HOusekeep-

Washing Woolens
I have had considerable varied expert
ence, us our family consisting of 1ive)
use WOODEN underwear next to the person
the entire year., and as harsh or "fulled
up" woolcns were one of my worst
1 had found a sure way of avoiding
them. For several years 1 have suc-
ceeded, though many times it has only
been by %strenuously insisting on my w
way, i'll direct opposition to the presid-
ing genius of the washtub.
If the tiannels are not to be washed
soon after they are removed from the
person. they should be hung where tho
moisture contained in them can be dried
out.
Only hard soap of good quality should
be used. Soft water-not loiling, but
positively scalding hot-should have
enough soap added to make good suds,
and a tablespoonful of powdered borax.
lmmerse your white tunnels in this,
having them we'll covered. and let them
water has become ceol enough to wash
them in. Rub MS little soap directly on
them as You possibly can, but add o
to the water III the stains do no. come
out easily.
Have another tub containing an ample
allowance of water, heated Just asscald-
ing hot as was the first, and when q
piece is rubbed, wiring, shake thoroughly
and immense i'll tub M. .. 1t is better
to rinse them through two of these clear
scalding waters. but it is not positively
necessary.
The secret lies in having the water
soft and hot, the soap pure and dis
solved in the water (rather than applied
directly to the ~clothes,) and the rinsing
waters of the same temperature as that III
! which they are rubbed.
1 always have the iannels washed
first. and by n little thought it can be SO
arranged that no time is wasted while
| waiting for them to be cool enough to
handle.
A friend complained to mo that her
; girl washed them just as l told her. but
some of them looked terrible" lIap-
pening in there one washing-day, l went
out to the kitchen to see if Nora UNDER
stood my meaning, and Just as / opened
the door | saw her throw u pailtul of cold
water into a tub from whence q quantity
of steam was rising. and which proved
to be the tiannels." No wonder they
looked terrible" and slrunk. Wash the
colored ones i'll the same way and you
will find them soft to tho last.-AlLuny
