A Perfect Toilet SOAP.

First among the requisites of the toilet Is 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 deleteriUus
materials, and their delicate colonng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'm
purities. The disclosures recently made public
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 inJurng the hair irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement OF Q gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business be recently declared that
pers ons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obvisted, 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-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated but this latest success Is the appro rate
| crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After yesrs Of patient labor and scientific expert
| ment Mr.; Bahbitt has succeeded in perfeetink the
composition OF the frest toilet soap ever intro
| ouced. 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 to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies, it is altogether unequaied in its
emollient properties. his Soap is not perfumed

require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior

absence of artificial perfume the perfection of
sweetness and this peculiar characteristic of B.
Babbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthful

tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap Is equally appropriate fol-

exalt gold as the king of money.
Hel had testimony Of his own personal
experience. the testimony of the list of
bankruptcies throughout the country, the
testimony of the list of sheriff sale, to the
effect that everything but gold had de-
preciated in value. What else meant all
this cry of discomfort? What else meant
all this murmur Of dissatisfaction The
distress of the country now was beyond all
historical comparison in our country, and
to-day it would take but few more turns

In conclusion Mr.. Matthews argued
that if this appreciation of gold should

REMARKABLE BRAINS.


From the wheeling Register
A Confederate soldier from the Valley
OF Virginia, in one of the battles of the
of the late civil war was struck in the
head by a Mimic ball. The ball passed
through the skull, and the surgeons,
afraid to probe the wound in search OF
it, left the man to die. In the course of
time he recovered, but had lost hia
reason, and was sent to the insane
asylum at Stauuton, where he remained
for eleven years. At length Dr.. Feun,Ia-
roy. ON eminent physician Of this city,
obtained permission FROM the asylum
authorities and friends Of the insane
man to make f surgical examination of
the head with the hope OF finding the
ball. lie was successful and found the
ball imbedded on the inside OF the skull
and pushing against the brain. Unable
to extract it with any instrument at
hand, be took q chisel and mortised it
out. As soon as tho ball was removed,
reason resumed its control, and the de-
ranged ona was in his right mind. He
