could be seen sticking out of pigeon hole in
the desks, The men were evidently daxed;
they could scarcely comprehend the new
state Of things, 1t was in direct opposi-
ton TO what had prevailed in the Custom
House since the Oldest attache could re-
member it. The political ropes which had
always been clung to by Custom House
employees had been withdrawn, leaving
them to sink or swinm in the civil service

Abe, exclaimed an inspector in a rage, as
he read the order. $50 our right to vote is
not deniedp What right has that
-- frem Ohio to tell me that?"
In short, the general sentiment of those
connected with the Custom House seemed
to be that the order is unconstitutional. un-
just, and would if carried out result in the
destruction Of the party. The feeling on
the subject is deep, and will doubtless be
cTystallized into the shape of formal pro-
test very shortly. Out Of the 700 men
employees IN the establishment it is said
that only fifty hold position in ofpromsence
in party organizations, and that they never
neglected their duties on account of such
positions
The position of Acting Secretary McCor-
mick. who transmitted the order, was am
ply discussed, and much speculation was
INDUCED in as to whether he could resign
thesScretaryship or,retire from the National
Com mittee, The general opinion was that
he could find it much more expedient tC
give up his salaried position than to retire
from the committee. Ifhe mointained hi'
connection with the latter at the cost of hi
place it was said, he would be rewarded az
a martyr and would be rewarded tenfolC

does so he will be the first office-holde

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet Is a good
article of Soap, but to procure ii Is not always
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 repulsive I'M
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this ject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
iy if applied to the head nuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of a gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business he recently declared that
per- ons 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 a 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 ny lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The reuown of Mr. Babbitt's 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 perfectinE the
composition of the fir est 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. Babbitt's Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated,
and for applications the delicate skin OF infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled in its
emo lltent properties. his Soap is not perfumed,
the ingredients being Of snch absolute purity
require 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
Babbit's Toilet Soap renders it the most healthful
and agreeable article of the kind manufac-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use Of ladies
and children, this Soap equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet, and ii makes a heavy lather
It is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use
II is just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N. Y,

Eagle Anvil Works
Established 1913.

Made at the Oldest Anvil mandatory in this
country. All English Anvils, after time. become
following on the face by continued hammering in
use, account of the brous nature of the wrought
iron-causiDg it to settle. under the steel.
But the body of the eagle Anvil being of crys-
talzed iron, such settling cannot occur; and the
steel face therefore remains perfectly true. Also
it has the great advantage, that being OF a 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, with a wrought iron Anvil.
More work can therefore be done on this Anvil
with hammer one-ifth lighter than required for 9
wrought iron Anvil which is more elastic.
