Tell Your Wife.

The National Hotel Reporter has lots of
very nice things to say about women, the
latest is the following advice to men who
think women are not capable of judging
clearly on the business affairs of life:
IF you are in any trouble or quaudary,
tell your wife-that is, if you have one
all about it at once. Ten to one her in
vention will solve your difficulties sooner
than all your logic The Wit of woman has
been praised, but her instincts are keener
and quicker than her reason. Counsel
with your wife OF your mother, or sister,
aud be assured light will fash upon your
darkness. Women are too commonly ad-
judged verdant ia all but purely womanly
affairs No philosophical student of the
sex thus judges them. Their intuitions or
insights are the most subtle, aud if she
cannot see a cat in the meal, there is nc
cat there. A man should keep more
of his affairs secret from his wife,
Many a home has been happily saved
and many fortune retrieved, by a man s
full confidence in his wife. Woman is far
more a seer and a prophet than man, il
she he given fair chance. As genera
rule, wives confde the minutest of theil
plans aud thoughts to their husbands
Why not reciprocate, if but for the pleasure
of meeting confidence with confidence
1t is certain that no man succeeds so vel
10 the world as he who, taking a partner
for lite, makes her a partner of his pur
poses and hopes. What is wrong of hi.
impulse or judgment. she will check anC
SET right with her almost universally RICH
instincts. And what she most Graves anC
most deserves is confidence, without which
love is never free from a shadow.

The PanAr Money.

The total amount of national bank cir
cuatiOn is now 1902, 100000. 1t has been
a little lower than this figure, but has at
no time since the movement on the part of
the banks to contract their circulation run
down as low as the old 100000, 900 limit,
at which it stood until the law was passed
IN 1869 authorizing an increase to meet
the then clamorous demands of the south
and west for more money. The circulation
at present manifests no marked tendency
toward increase or decrease. 1t remains
almost stationary, the fluctuations being
apparently slight. The fac, that under
a free banking law it has run down to
nearly the old limit, when't the restrictions
of the original legislation establishing the
national banking system were 10 force,
furnishes u conclusive argument against
initiation theories The total volume of the
greenbaek circulation is now about $780,

The Prayer Book of the Irish Episcopal
church has been SO revised and altered as
TO rid it Of the statements of doctrine
which were so Objectionable to the Low
Church party. Priestly absolutiOn and
baptismal regeneration are omitted; the
minister's proper position during the COM
munion service is settled, and the Athan
asian creed is omitted from public use
The laws which make this revision binding
will go into effect in June, 1878. There ii
much dissatisfaction about the change
even on the part of those who were sup
posed to have gained all they asked for.

The children of poverty My heart
bleeds when think Of them; the children
simply covered with rag; the children of
famine and of starvation; the children OF
drunkenness and the children of crime,
fotsam and jetsam upon the wild, the rude
sea of life; the children in alleys; the
children that crouch in corners when they
hear the unsteady step of drunken brute
of father; the children, little babies with
drinking mothers; the children, too, of the
rich, that have no liberty-the little
children that are crushed, that are
trampled upon, that are frightened. pity
them all from the bottom of my heart.
What right have you to tyranize oyer a
child? l have very little respect for a man
that cannot govern child without brute
force. Think of whipping children! Why,
they say children tell lies. Yes, cowardice
is the mother of lies-tyranny is the father
of lies. Suppose man who is much
larger than you are larger than fve-year-
old child should come at you with pole in
his hands: who broke that plats2"
You would tremble; your knees would
knock together; and you would swear you

beating his own flesh and blood because b.
evaded the truth. Think of a deale

A gentleman writing from Oxford
Miss, tells curious story: A man and
his wife went 70 church, leaving their
little boy alone in the house. During
their absence a man disguised with mask
and coon skin covering called at the
house, told the boy he was the devil, and
demanded all the money there was in the
house. The boy seized loaded gun. fred
and killed the visitor. He ran for help to
neighbors house, aud the woman, on
running to the scene of the shooting, dis
covered that the dead man was her hus-
band. There was considerable excitement
oyer the affair. but the coroner's jury de
cided that the boy was justified in shoot.

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet is good
article of Soap but to procure it 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 cOorIng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsiye am
purites. The disclosures recently made pubic
regarding this su ect are positively startling, and
deserve seriOus consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly if applied to the head; injnring the hair, irrta
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
persons engaged in THIS employment were 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 IL at last obYiated 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.. Babbftts 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. Rabbitt Las succeeded in perfectinE the
composition OF the Grest tgllet soap ever intro
6uced. 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 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 upequaed in its
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

Dr. G.. f. Waters of Boston recently
tested before the meeting Of the Massa-
chusetts Dental Society, new remedy for
burns and scalds, consisting of the applica-
ton of bicarbouate of soda, the simple
cooking soda used in all families. The
doctor dipped a sponge into boiling hot
water, and squeezed it over his right wrist,
the water flowing almost completely around
the arm, and nearly encrcling it with
severe scald two inches in width. Not
content with this, he dipped the sponge
second time, and pressed it closely on the
under side Of his wrist for thirty seconds.
He then applied bicarbonate of soda to the
scalded surface, and laid over it wet
cloth, and the intense pain was banished as
if by magic. On the next day after this
severe test, the scald, with the exception
of the part purposely made most severe,
was practically healed, only slight dis
coloration Of the skin showing were the
scalding water had howed-this, too, with
out a second application of the soda. The
flesh on the under side of the wrist had
been cooked down to the sweat glands, and
the scald was one which ordinarily would
have caused an open and painful wound of
long duration. The only treatment of
this, however, after the first application of
the soda, was to keep the part moist with a
wet cloth, and no pain was experienced,
and it was but few days before this
severe wound was seen to be rapidly heal
