easy matter Many OF the most expensive Soaps in

regarding this subject are positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable especial

period during which the occupation could be fol-

Breaking out Anew.

LONDON, March 11.-Trustworthy
advices from India state that the Mo-
hammedans are greatly excited about
the overthrow of Turkey. Serious
trouble is apprehended unless the
government takes some anti. Russian
action shortly. 1t is believed two
hundred thousand Moslem volunteers
to serve against Russia could be
raised without difficulty.

BERLIN, March 1.-THE Post says
measures must be taken to prevent
the Dardanelles and Bulgaria from
becoming Russian property.
ENGLAND's POSITION.
There are two points in England
position with regard to the congress,
which, if urged are likely to seriously
endanger the present feeling of conf
dence. 1t is stated that England in
sists not only that the basis of discus
sion be established before congress
meets, but also that the basis shall be
the treaties of 1856 and 1871, and
that Russia shall submit every point
of the Russo-Turkish treaty to the
discussion and decision of congress.
Without such agreement in advance
England will refuse to bind herself to
accept the conclusions of the con-
gress. Now, while Russia would
perhaps risk little in agreeing to
these demands, it is scarcely likely
that she will allow England to AFRO
gate to herself so much authority in
fixing the basis of discussion.

THERE was a sharp debate in the

thousands of dollars to the contin,

The Virginians have invented a
new sort of liquor law. Every deal
er has to keep in his saloon regis
ter with a pointer which turns and
indicates, like gas meter, just how
much liquor has been consumed, or
rather how many drinks and half
pints have been retailed. 1t is CALL
ed the Bell-punch law. 1t requires
every dealer when he sells half
pint or drink, to turn the crank of
the register until the bell strikes,
when the pointer turns to another
notch. For each drink Or half pint
he has to pay "a cents as license. On
malt liquors the charge is only cent
a drink. The law appears to be
quite satisfactory, for the seller of
course collects the tax from the con-
sumer and it affords the former an
excuse to refuse to credit drinks to
ead>heads.
