denning Mica. 
The coal Are went out the other day and iu 
lighting it, the wood necessarily had a bid effect 
the mica, smoking it to a deep brown. Our 
amateur housemaid did not like the appear- 
auce and domestic economy forbade. us to 
throw it away. So she took out the pieces, 
one at a time, soaked them in vinegar and 
water, rubbed them gently with a piece of soft 
flannel and replaced thence almost as good as 
now. For stoves where much mica is used this 
should be worth remembering.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED. 
Waahiug Fluids—\\nailing Machines. 
I have a dread of washing-day ou account of 
the labor of rubbing the clothes. Cannot you 
give me a recipe for a harmless fluid or other 
preparation to put into the boiler that will aid 
iu removing the soil and stains without such 
hard labor? Annie B. Clark 
Ans. —The following was given us by a lady, 
with the assurance that it was posillvely a 
harmless washing fluid, used in the proportions 
given, and we are in no wise disposed to ques¬ 
tion the authority:—Two pounds of soda ash, 
ont-half pound of uuslaked lime ; pour over 
nine quarts of cold water and let boil 20 min¬ 
utes. Take from the fire, add two quarts of 
cold water, let settle, pour off aud bottle. Soak 
the clothes over night in cold water. In the 
morning wring out, soaping the soiled parts. 
To a good-size l boiler half full of water, allow 
out-half pint of the fluid. Put in the clothes 
aud boil 20 minutes. Tim clothes are then 
taken through one suds and the usual rinsing 
waters. About a year ago we received a Bob¬ 
bin’s Washer and Bleacher upon trial. We con¬ 
fess we were loath to try it, having a deep- 
seated prtjudice against washing machines of 
every description. But at last we were obliged 
to acknowledge that the little machine did all 
that was claimed for it. It has been in use in 
our family most of the time since, and we have 
had no reason to change our first opinion of 
it. We think it a saving of labor aud time aud 
much to be preferred to washing fluids. But 
of late we have received complaints that “it is 
not all gold that glittersthat the Lhiu coat¬ 
ing of white metal soon wears off, leaving a 
baser metal underneath, which rusts and thus 
ruins the clothes. Will not those of our read¬ 
ers who have used this washer give us their 
experience ? 
Keeping Kggs. 
Will eggs keep packed in oats or chaff from 
Spring until Winter ? Please give a recipe for 
a pickle. A Reader. 
Ans.— fes, we should think 60 , hut would 
prefer chaff to the oats, and dry, sifted coal or 
wood ashes to either. The eggs should bo 
taken daily from the nests atid packed, small 
end down, aud set away in a cool and dry 
place where the temperature will not rise 
above (>0 3 or 05®. For a pickle, see direc¬ 
tions given iu Rural, of February 20, page 139.
