Washing In France.

Only one American washing machine
has ever been introduced into Bor-
deaux, France, according to Consul
Murphy. There was" he says, zone
such machine introduced here some
years ago, but as it was not properly
advertised or presented to the public
In an intelligent manner it seemed to
make but little impression. Washer
women from the country monopolize
the washing business, gathering the
soiled linen one week and returning 1t
the next. They boil the clothes, use
chemicals to whiten them, rinse them
In the Learest stream and spread the
articles over grass, hedges and barbed
wire fences to dry, which does not
conduce to long wear Of linen. The
cleansed goods are then returned to
the families, who send them to an IRON
er, where they are generally kept an
other week"

OLYMPIA, Wash, March %
Joseph NJ Snow, state highway COM
missioner, has gone to Spokane to ar
range some of the details in the ex-
pertinent of working convicts on the
public roads in Spokane county. The
county commissioners are planning IN
work at least fifteen convicts from the
Walla Walla penitentiary.
Recently the state highway COM
missioner's office drew plans for quar-
ters in which the convicts will sleep
The plans are for a building so feet
long and 20 feet wide, with 80 single
cots in it.
The quarters are so planned that
the structure can be taken down or
put up in a short time and moved
from place to place. At each end is a
door. On each side of the building
is a row of fifteen cots with the foot
of them to the center
Running along the foot of the cots
is heavy gas pipe, to which the legs
of the cOrvicts will be chained at
night.
