IlO.kS 4MM.UatMd.l -V- Thb Great Gekmax Wash. It is the custom In Germany to wash table-linen and sheets at sel dom as . possible.- Indeed, it it even a sign of wealth when one washes .these. thing but four times a year! because It shows that lots of them are rtoaseased by the family. Whether the custom Is a nice one or not, there can be no doubt about -the work it causes. As soon at this great wash began, wa gave up, all but the moet important house and kitchen work: and yon mlylii h,r, teen nt tundng, all eight of us, round a huge tub, rubbing; with soan in hot water the sheets and napkins.- Certalnlr it wat. severe labor, and my . hands bled fast the first even I nr. But while standing and washlnr. even If almost tired to death by work to unaccustomed, we tried to sweeten it by-cheerful part fntra. When the washing was finished, Carl, the coachman, had to pot the horses to the wagon. All thethings, heaped up in large, white baskets, were pot on it. we all got in after, and off it went down to. the tittle . river. There tho thing were-nnkMbled, -mni actr" or us. Kneeling on a buaru, rinsed out the linen in tne clear flowing water. I dare say that thlt. part of the wash was, the most amusing one;' whether It wa the kneeling at the river or tbe happy tliourht that all would be soon at an end. I-. am sure I don't know. But we'were certainly in - hirfa spirits, and Carl., who ailentlr.watehe.i -iM. - often had to get out of the way of the shouts of wxier in at we extravagant snns tent at mm. The CcmAiil JfayaziM, V ' Six wills by the late Eben Wrirhthave beenv filed In the Probate Court at IVw-ton, and as many more are expected to be-too nd. All were made after 1C7. and InJeed the iat years of Mr. Wrirht's life were chiefly riven op to whimsical plans of distributing his i,Vn. The legacies varied aexwvxinr to the mood of the testator, the lareect ierat sew-under one will bwvwnln ih smallest In the. next, and the final will leaving the balk of the property to Mrs. Charles Whittier.
