PHOSPHATE SOAP

Il i only O few months since the
frs: ca!ze of PHOSPHATE SOAP
- D manufactured by the Standard
sap Co, of San Francisco. AS
tns ingredients and combination
W?ro the result of the best chemical
science in the world there was
cTcTy reason to expect something
Ear superior to any toilet soap ever
made before, yet it was hardly ex-
pocted that the medical profession
would endorse PHOSPHATESO SOAP
for its remedial qualities as strong
IL as they have. 1t Is well known
that physicians of high standing
are conservative and slow to en-
dorse anything new until they are
thoroughly convinced of its merits.
Such men as DR.. w. A. Douglass
Of San Francisco, and DIR. A. j..
Spencer of San Jose, CAL, have
grown venerable in the medical
profession and are respected by all
who know them. These well-known
physicians, with many others, have
tried PHOSPHATE SOAP, both as
toilet article and as remedy for
skin diseases, and pronounce it ss--
porior to any other article OF Tie
kind.
The soothing, cleansing, purifying
and disinfecting qualities Of FHO :
PHATE SOAP render it q prime
necessity in every family. Besides,
it is most convenient c.rticle. It
is good for shaving as we'll as the
toilet and is also useful in removing
grease and impurities from cloth
ing and delicate fabrics.

Old Age.

The brain in old persons after the age
of seventy diminishes both in bulk and
density, and thus becomes lighter. Its
capacity for continuous hard work is
thereby lessened, as really as is that OF
the body for muscular labor.
AS an old man, however, has the &C.
cumulated knowledge. skill and practi.
cal experience of almost u lifetime, and
that wonderful facility which comes of
habit, he may, with good health and
care, do much OF his best work in the
neighburhood, say, Of eighty.
He cannot bear mental strain, and he
must not attempt mental "spurts," but
he can still show himself a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed
Since, however, the brain is not then
so firmly supported by the skull, and
is slighter in texture, the blood vessels
are more easily dilated or ruptured.
The danger Of paralysis and apoplexy
is still further increased, because the
blood vessels become in old age more
or less ossified and brittle. and thus
less able to sustain sudden rush OF
blood.
The aged should carefully abstain
from every form of violent action, and
indeed, from every violent emotion.
The full term of toll, whether in rear
ing and supporting children, or III the
service of the public, earns right to
what is the normal ply pathological condl-
ton of age--freedom from all that an
noys, perplexes, harnesses, excites and
burdens.

TAKING OFF THE. SHOES The habit
in Turkey of taking off the shoes on

custom OF taking off ones shoes before
entering room is not religious
superstition. but comes of the neces-
sity for keeping carpets clean, seeing
that they fulfill the purpose of chairs,
tables, sofas, in other countries. The
rooms of harem may be furnished
like Partisan bOudOirs; but custom is

curiously soft and thick, and the hang

POPULAR EDUCATIoN.-In q recen9
address at Zenia. o., Whitelaw Reid,
editor of the New York Tribune, said:
Strengthen the basis of the school
system before you increase the super
structure. Teach fewer things, but
teach them so that they will be abso
lutely klown. Make the course of
study more compact and manageable;
postpone the accomplishments; Danish
even science and drawing, and first give
| the child what will be essential for the
practical business of life and basis
for self This is sense
of the hardest and most valuable kind,
and ought to be craven over the door
of every scnooi-house in the country.
The tendency nowadays is to increase
the superstructure without proper re-
gard to the strength of the basis. and
the consequence is that in some very
important respects the education ac-
CURED by the average pupil is inferior
to that which his father and grand
father obtained by the old.fashioned
methods.-[St. Louis Republican.

TIE CoLoRED PEOPLE. The, whole
colored population of the country III
1880 was 577 l57 showing an increase
in the preceding ten years of ,G97 ll2,
or nearly 80 per cent, against an IN
crease of the white population in the
same period of little more than -
per cent, and that due largely to imml-
grafton. One of the predictions con-
tidentIally made was that the Enamel
patton Proclamation would go far
towards exterminating the black race
in this country. But the facts show
that freedom agrees very well with the
colored race. From 1850 to 1850.
when slavery reigned in the South, the
increase of the colored population was
O fraction over - per cent, against a
fraction less than 80 per cent, from
1870 to 1850, when slavery was ex-
tinct. And it is significant fact that
much the largest increase in the col
ored population is in what were the
large slaveholding States. A like ratio
of increase during the next tive decades
will make the colored race little short
of II, 600 900 people. These are fac S
which challenge the close attention of
statesmen and political economists, as
well as of intelligent Christian people.
