1t is utterly impossible for man to go
into clothes closet without knocking down
every hat hung up there. 1t is terribly ex
asperating to hear them go down and to
feel them knocking against ones legs, and
it is surprising that no one has thought to
invent a hook which will hold a hat with the
grasp of death. Some people run an iron
rod through the hat and secure the rod with
a bolt on the outside of the house. This is
a sure device, but requires considerable time
and mars the appearance of the house.
When a woman has hung up three hats in
a row aud got broken ribbed umbrella with
a hook handle to lay across them, she has
struck one of the deadIiest blows ever giver

votes certain for it and % certain against,
with the remainder uncertain, although the
majority of the doubtful ones are most
likely to vote with the strong side. Reports
from Washington say that the president
will veto any silver bill which did not
contain clause whichlprotected the public

that the president will take such cour Sc
it is at the ssame time quite certain tina

A Perfect Toilet Soap

First among the requisites OF the toilet Is q good
article of Soap, but to procure is not always
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse aud deleterious
materials, and their delicate cOlorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'M
purities The disclosures recently made pubic
regarding this subject are positively startling and
deserve serious consideration Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly if applied to the head; njuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the stateme mt of gentlemen who makes the scent
ing OF Soaps his business; he recently declared that
per- ons engaged in this employment short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr.
B. T. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renowned
| Soap Manufacturer whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro.
ductiOns has for many years been widely dissem-
mated but this latest success Is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Bahbitt has succeeded in perfectinh the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
ouced. The principal ingredients the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result is simply
unparalleled in THE department. of industry.
| .."B. T. BabbtL's Toilet Soap" Is the trade mark
! By which this elegant toilet luxury is designated
and for applications to the delicate skin Of infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled In its
|
the ingredients being of such absolute purity tC
| require aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers tht
absence of artificial perfume the perfection O
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic of b. 7
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfu
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use Of ladie
and children, this Soap is equally appropriate TO
gentlemen's toilet and as ii makes a heavy lathe
IL is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS uss
IL is just being placed upon the market, but thu
demand for it will soon become gensral.-N. 7

Honest John Patterson, Of South
Carolina.


The case OF the senator from South
Carolina has, we believe, no exact parallel
in the history Of representative govern
ment. Down 10 bis own state he has been
indicted for one of his numerous crimes.
The court is waiting to try him, the war
den of the penitentiary hasabrushed out 4
cell for him, and the tailor of the institu-
ton is ready to take the measure of Hon
est John for q suit of clothes of the regu-
lation stripe. When Honest John Pat
terson is safely locked up, says the Sun.
much relief will be- felt in South Carolina,
not only by those who believe on general
principles that fragrant dishonesty ought
to be punished, but by all who have prop
erty interests to protect from thieves.
But Honest John Patterson is still in
Washington, making laws for the country.
He answers to bis name at roll-call Just as
Conkling and Bayard do. His vote counts
for as much as that Of any senator who
has never stolen, bribed. or taken bribes.
The prosecuting officers of South Carolins
have been trying for two months to get
Senator Patterson into the hands of q
sheriff. Gov. Hampton has sent requisi-
ton alter requisition for him, but he is
still at large. By bubbles and technical
tiles and by ths aid Of the courts Of the
district, Honest John has thus far man
aged to keep his liberty. Very likely he
will remain at large until the end of the
session.
Between this malefaetor and the just
retribution which is trying to overtakG
him, circumstances have interposed q
temporary barrier, The republican ma
iOrity in the senate has dwindled almost
to nothing. Honest John Patterson is
cOuntenanced now by members of his own
party who would have driven him out 10
disgrace two years ago. The clOseness Of
the party vote in the senate protects Pat
terson from tho sheriffs whom his atten-
tive constituents have sent 10 fetch him
back to Columbia and to the penitentiary.
His vote Is too valuable to lose; 10 losing
it, perhaps the republican party loses its
majority on the floor of the senate. 1t is
this fact which so dulls the moral percep-
tons Of his associates that they permit
the fugitive from justice to remain among
them unquestiOned aud uninvestigated.
To see a senator Of the United States
unable to visit bis constituents, for fear
they will seize him aud lock him up in
Jail, is not an inspiring spectacle. Yet this
Is precisely the Hon. Mr.. Patterson's case.

THE UIaitd Odttolicd, the leading Cath
Ole newspaper in Rome, has an exultant
leader on the reestablishment of the
hierarchy in Scotland. As Pho Mono in
his exile at Gaeta matured the restoration
of the hierarchy to England, SO in his
imprisonment in the Vatican he extends
the same blessing TO Scotland. Having
ske.ched the progress of Catholicism north
of the Tweed since the reformation, il
dilates on the hundreds of thousands Of
Scotchmen who await with impotence the
glorious event for which divine providence
has tremendously preserved the life of Pic
Mono, who will thus add beautiful crown
to the many services he has rendered tC
