How Toilet Soaps are Made.

THERE are two methods by which tot
let soaps are prepared these are known
as the hot and the cold processes. The
fine English soaps are chiefly made by
boiling, while most of the fancy soaps in
this country are made by the cold method.
When made by boiling, weak caustic

briefly as follows: The fat is melted in a
well cleaned iron or copper kettle at a
low temperature. then filtered through
fine linen or muslin into another kettle,
and cooled very strong lye is added.

closed, and left for twelve hours, by which
time specialization will have taken place.
1t is now ready to be taken from the
frame, cut, dried, and sold. Soaps made
by this process are softer and pleasanter,
because they contain the glycerine; but
they are unfortunately always more or
less alkaline, no matter how much care is
bestowed upon their preparation. A
Frenchman claims to have invented a
method of neutralizing the free alkali,
and thus combining the advantages of
both methods and making a perfectly neu-
gal glycerine soap. This is accomplished
