Fill the boiler with soft water to within about
three inches Of the top of the inside iler. Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.


Bring the water to a boil. and then place the
clothes in the Aot water. The water will imme-
diately pour over the shell all around and if ii
boils over raise the lid.


Keep up hat fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out and Immediately SUBS them
through in soft water. If any shade OF the dirt
remains. few rubs will take it all out. Then
rinse them in clean water, wiring dry, and the wash
ing is done. Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.


The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler 1t is of vital Importance to THOR
0UGHLY SUDS the clothing after boiling. Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. A brisk fire is important in order to ro-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.
The cover shoald not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. Ii the
washing be a large one, the clothes should be as
sorted as dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&c.


Articles much soiled may be left in for a second
boiling. White fannels may be beautiful washe.
(wlthout FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
out in hot water.


Colored clothes should not be mixed with white,
and unless the colors fast they should never be
washed by this process. The most delicate laees,
cambries, &C., such as would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
fectly without injury. by this process. The almost
absYiu,e ne .essity of using soft. or "broken," I"
water, is SO well understood as to hardly need
mention here


No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wristbands and Collars
This Self washing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other device. Should shade or streak remain,
it i'll be found to be so reduced and sofiened to
disappear without the use of wash-board, BY
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
ali the wear and tear Of clothing by washing. 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than oNE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING. and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this new process, which
alone would pay for Boiler many times during
sin lie year. in almost any family, to say nothing

correspondent at Seaford makes somewhat

TRANSPORTATION OF LIVE FISH. Many
expensive tanks have been constructed for
transporting fish alive, answering the purpose
more or less perfectly We give here SIM
pie and inexpensive method: Take a barrel
or cask, washed until it is clean and sweet.
Fit a cover to it tightly to prevent the water
splashing over while in the cars or wagon. A
piece of canvas tied over the top, answers
every purpose. A hole one inch in diameter
may be made in the middle OF the cover. Fill
with water within six inches of the top, as
the agitation of the water on the journey,
helps to ;erate it. Tie some ice in piece OF
flannel and tasten it to the side of the cask
near the top so that it shall not swing about
and bruise the fish, and the cold drip from
the ice will sink to the bottom. Ifthe journey
is to be a prolonged one, fit the nozzle of a
common bellows with a tin tube long enough
to reach to the bottom of the cask, and by
blowing little now and then the fish can be
carried thousands of miles. We do not give
this as the best plan, but as a cheap and in
expensive method answering avery good pur-
pose. The best apparatus would be 4 metal
tank of some kind with double walls, perma-
nent ice chamber in the middle, and automat-
c air-pump. [Green's Fish Culture.
