A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet a good
article of Soap but to procure 1t is not always an
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and 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 positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly If applied TO the head iniuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement Of gentlemen who makes the scent
ing OF Soaps his business he recently declared that
perfOns engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven to ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
I 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, 7. 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-
auctions 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 perfectinG the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
duced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry.
:. 'B. T. Rabbits Toilet Soap" liz 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
elholleht properties. Inls soap ls not pefIumea,
the ingredients being Of such absolute purity to
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence OF artificial perfume the perfection of
sweetness and this peculiar characteristic of B. T.
Babbitt's Toilet Soap renders 1t the most heathful
| and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac.
| tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet, and as 1t makes heavy lather
Il is also one Of the finest soaps for barber's use
IL is just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N. \,

Centennial Exhibition Prize Medal Awarded
Eagle Anvil Works |

Made at the Oldest Anvil mandatory in this
country. All English Anvils, after time, become
following on the face by continued hammering in
use on account OF the brous nature of the wrought
iron-causipg 1t to settle under the steel.
But the body of the Eagle Anvil being of crys.
tal!ized iron, such settling cannot occur; and the
steel face therefore remains perfectly true. Also,
it has the great advantage, that being CT q more
SOLID material, and, consequently, with less re-
bound, the piece forged receives the FULL effect
OF the hammer instead of part of it being wasted
by the rebound as with wrought iron Anvil.
More work therefore be done this Anvil
with hammer one-ffth lighter than required for 9
wrought iron Anvil which is more elastic.
The working surface is in one piece of JEssoP's
Best Tool CAST STEEL accurately ground, hard
ened and given the proper temper for the heav' -
work. The horn is of tough untempered steel
The cast steel surface is warranted to be
oughly welded and not to come off.
