How to Make Soap for a Cent

Shave into small pieces five bars OF Dob
bins Electric Soap. and boil In three quarts
of water. until the soap Is thoroughly dissOl-
we'd, so that upon straining through a sieve
nothing remains, add to the solution or
suds" three gallons OF cold water; stir
brislIly for several inmates to mix, and set
ii away to cool. Though it will look like
nothing but soap-suds while warm, a chem
zeal reaction will take place, and in twenty
four hours time will develop forty or fifty
pounds of magnificent and white soft soap
costing less than one cent a pound, and as
good as many of the aduIterated compounds
called soap. and sold at seven to ten cents a
pound. How long would it take for any 9TH
er soap used the same TO become anything

Mrs. PartingtOn once invited an
aged clergyman from the city to take
tea with her. On opening the sugar
bowl, she discovered deceased mouse
in the premises. In the excitement
and phrenzy of the moment, she seized
a large lump of sugar and flung it be-
hind the backlog, while she carefully
deposited the mouse in the gentleman's
cup. He discovered the mistake as
soon as he began to stir the tea.

A paper was recently read before the
French Academy extolling the virtues
of buttermilk. 1t claims for this
article a good share of the acid which
destroys the incrustation which
form on the arteries, cartilages, and

slant use of buttermilk will free the
system from troubles which inevitably
cause death between the seventy-fifth

The late Hon. Henry C. Deming, of
Hartford, Conn.,, the Post relates, when a
member of Congress, desired the promo
ton of soldier, and went to President
Lincoln about it. He had formal appli-
cation in writing, in which three reasons
were given why the promotion should be
made. Mr.. Lincoln read it, and looking
over his glasses said Deming. why
wouldn't it be just as well to say you want
this promotion without giving any reasons
for it? Just step into the other room and
make out another application" Mr.. Dem.
ing retired and soon returned with the
Presidents suggestion carried out. "That
is more like it." said Mr.. Lincoln, as he
looked the document over and then he
went to a table and wrote on the back of
the application "Let this be done. A.
Lincoln. There, Deming," he went on
to say, ''that's better it will be done all
right now, and we shan't be called on to
give any reasons for it. :"

MQSUL..

Mosul, the center Of the famine district
in Asiatic Turkey, from which an earnest
tjpeal for aid has just been made to the
United States, is situated in what was an
cient Mesopotamia. 1t is of much historic
interest, being on the right bank of the
Tigris, $50 miles from Bagdad, capital of
the great Assyrian Empire, and frequently
referred to in the Scriptures. Nineveh is
said to have been, destroyed by the united
armies of the Modes and Babylonians, I'M
der Cyaxares and Nabopolassar, CPS years
before the Christian era. When Herodo-
tus vi ,ited it, less than two centuries after,
it was utterly demolished. Mosul is in the
province of Al.Jezireh, is surrounded by
walls, and commonly more prosperous than
most Turkish towns, in consequence of its
caravan trade with Diarbekir, Bagdad and
Aleppo. Its prosperity is nothing, how
ever, TO what it was in the Middle Ages,
when it supplied all Europe with its rich
manufactures. According to Marco Polo,
muslins got their name from this place,
whose bazaars are filled with products of
the West. It's diminished trade is attrib-
utabIe to the rise OF Abushehr, sea port
on the east coast of the Persian gulf, and
the emporium Of the Indian trade with
Persia. Mosul is the seat of Jacobite
Patriarch, and was formerly the metropolis
of all the Mesopotamian Christians but
war, oppression, famine, pestilence, Mo
hammedan proselytism, and continual an
archy have materially reduced their num-
bers. The population is estimated at from
20, 600 to 10000, of whom one-fourth may
be Christians.
