Foreign Laundry Marks.

In foreign countries some strange
methods are adopted for Identifying the
contents of the washtub. In some parts
of France linen is defaced with the
whole name and address of the laundry
stamped upon it, and an additional
owner of the property. In Bavaria
every patron of the washtub has a
number stamped in large characters on
his linen. In Bulgaria every laundry
has a large number OF stamps engraved
with designs, and in Russia the laun-
dries mark linen with threads work ed
in arrow shapes. In some Russian
towns the police periodically issue
regulations for laundries. In Odessa
books of marks are furnished annually
TO the laundry proprietors, and these
marks, and no others, can be used to
identify linen.=AlhanY Journal.
