The pressure downward piled the wat

seemed to be at least three feet higher
than the edge of the beat, but it
couldn't run, for We were going so fast
that it hadn't time. Everyone's eyes
were blurled with the wind, which
seemed to be blowing a hurricane
against us. The line hitched to the
iron in the whale was rushing through
the water as rigid as an iron rod, and
there must have been line OF foam a
mile long behind us. This thing
couldn't go on forever. The negro had
got a little scared, for it. looked as if
the whale never would get tired ont,
and We we're going to sea at an amazing
rate. The ship went away as If BY
magic, and we had lost sight OF the
other boat. The negro stopped grin
ming, and the other men expected at
least to hsye row all night in the
dark unless the ship should follow US.
Finally, the line all at once slackened.
The whale hadn't stopped, and for all
know is going ahead at the rate of
q mile minute still, but the iron had
come out. We rowed back to the ship,
and as we came along the captain called
over the rail: Where's the whale ?"
"Oh !" said I. "the iron melted out,
he went go fast"
"Just what I thought" said the
captain, and that night We all had

Reliable Testimony,

son TO verify them. Thousands of people
from all parts Of the Pacific Coast can and
have expressed the opinion that there is no
otter article in the world equal to PHOS

great many people have tested this soap for
skin diseases. Among others We give The
following from parties who have thoroughly
tested PHOSPHATE SOAP:

would theu scratch his head and face until
the blood ran fro.n the sId6s. We tried
everything we could lind, but nothing
seemed to give any permanent rel of unit,
We tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before We

Wood Ashes.

The value of ashes ss Q fertilizer.
depends principally upon the potash
and phosphoric acid they contain.
The percentage Of these varies largely,
in ashes from different woods, varying
from 10 per cent to "a per cent for the
former, and 4 per cent to u DER cent
for the latter. This would give not far
from four to five pounds of potash to Q
bushel Of ordinary mixed unleachea
ashes, which, reckoned at Ak cents
per pound-the present market value
Of potash in the commercial fer
tilizers-would give the value of
. bushel Is from Is, to 22H cents.
With due allowance for the phosphorus
acid and the ime-the latter making
up the largest part of the sshes-it
may be seen that bushel of unleached
ashes, is worth from Is to 80 cents at
the present time. Ashes, to secure
the best results, should be thoroughly
mingled with the soil. In this way,
the best physical, as we'll as chemical
effects are obtained. It is self evident
that crops requiring larger amounts of
potash, will be the most benefited by
the application of ashes, as the root
crops, cabbage, tobacco, etc. Forty to
fifty bushels per acre, is a good an.
plication.-American Agricultaralist.

TIE BEST soap for toilet use
ever manufactured. BEST because
it contains all the eXcellencies of
the most expensive foreign or
American soaps without their de-
fects. BEST because il combines
strength with delicacy in such q
way that its strong defensive quail
ties do not injure the skin. BEST
because it is the result Of years Of
study and experiment in the soap
manufac turing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap
in such a manner as to increase
its saponaceouS qualities. Every
chemist familiar with soap manu-
facture knows that some ingrodi-
ents which are in themselves bene-
fetal to the skin cannot be saponi-
fed ; some are partially rcutralized,
while others injure the quality OF
the soap. There are soaps in the
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use.
PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY
article offered to tho public which
combines all the best elements OF
toilet soap with medical ingredl-
ents beneficial to the skin.
