The Whisky Tax.

The Whisky Tax
BY way of explaining his agency in
the preparation of the bill to stop the
collection of the whiskey tax until the
1st of July. Mr.. Raum, commissioner
ofinternal revenue, informs arepresen-
tative of the Times that the agitation
ofthe question of reducing the tax has
created great depression in the bust
ness, and that some of the distillers.
are greatly embarrassed in consequence
of the falling off in sales. AS the agi-
tation comes entirely from the specu-
lative class of distillers, it does not ap-
pear that the embarrassment they have
brought upon themselves should be as
sumed by the government. Mr. Raums
championship OF the measure is certain
ly strange, considering his relation
with the government. He admits that
there is no demand for reduction of
the tax from the great western distil-
ling houses, which pay three-fourths of
1T, nor from the consumers. who in
the last resort pay it all. In fact not
a petition for reduction of tax has been
received from the consumers oftobacco
or whiskey. The whole disturbance
comes from speculative rings. If the
whisky taxis reduced, as the ring pro-
poses, the government will lose nearly
twenty millions in revenue; without
securing single compensatlng advan-
tage. - Chicago Times.

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites OF the toilet Is good
article of Soap, but to procure 1t Is not always
easy matter Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials, and their delicate Coorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsve i'm
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable especial
ly II applied to the head injaring the hair lrr1ta
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 be 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-
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. T. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by far the greatest of the kind IN the United
States The renown Of Mr.. Babbitfs various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectinE the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
ouced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department OF industry.
sE'tB. T. Babbitts 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 unequaleo IN It's
| emolient properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the ingredients being of such absolute purity as 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.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthful
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 it makes heavy lather
It is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use
