Water IN Soap.

A rather striking assertion is made by q
German publication on the somewhat I'M
sensational topic Of soap. Every house.
keeper knows the advantage of allowing
her stock of soap to dry thoroughly before
using it, though very few probably ever
think of noticing the difference the process
of drying makes in the weight of their stock.
They can hardly be very much astonished
to hear, however, that there are manulac-
turers who designedly make their soap re-
tain as much water rs possible in order to
increase the weight. The difficulty in the
way of this deception is, of course, that I'M
less got quickly off their hands the soap dries
and the advantage is lost. Scientific rogery,
however, seems to have been equal to this
difficulty, and, we are told, has found a
chemical which may be mixed with the
soap and will hold the excess of water.
The authority we are quoting asserts that
there are articles in the market containing
no less than per cent of water, so thata
person who should buy pound of this
precious compound would get four ounces
of solid matter representing the soap and
twelve ounces of water. This article, it is
added, cannot in the ordinary way be distin-
guisheu from soap containing only II per
cent. of water. The good joke Of taking
two Jugs, one for the milk and the other
for the water, seems to be capable of con-
siderably more extensive application if
properly modified. Water, however, is not
the only adulteraut used. Starch, chalk,
gypsum, barytes, and several other things
were found III analysed specimens of soaps,
more especially in those manufactured in
Berlin. These charges, indeed, all refer to
German manufactures. They suggest,
however lust the possibility that soaps not
manufactured in Germany might be anal
wed occasionally without doing much in
jury to anybody who deals fairly, and with
decided advantage to buyers, many ofwhom
under the best of circumstances, are not
likely TO get too much soap. ...
' How GLASS EYES ARE MADE.-Glass
eyes, as now made, consist of two distinct
shells, the exterior and the interior or lin
ing, which is fitted to the eye stump. The
end of hollow tube of crystal is heated
and blown into ball, which is colored to
initiate the white of the eye with enamels
applied while the glass is still in vitreous
paste. The imitation is exact The work
man makes the eye clear white, bilious or
bloodshot, in exact accordance with the
other. A round hole is then made in the
center to receive the globe of the eye. In
making this globe the iris is first formed
out of several amalgamated enamels. In
the center the pupil is fixed in black enanl-
el and finished with the delicate tracery of
those fine tibers found in the natural eye.
The eye globe is then soldered into the ex-
terror shell and the optic is finished.

Cultivate the Taste.

There can be no doubt about the ability
If any man to cultivate his senses. Hunt
ers learn to see with accuracy great dis
tanceS, 80 do sailors; musicians bring the
sense Of hearing up to the finest degree of
perfection. Blind men often become -
proficient that they can tell the color of a
garment by simply feeling of it, while
men employed in the business of buying
and selling great varieties Of makes of but
ter learn not only to grade and tell the
name of the maker of each lot but Ill some
instances they can tell almost to day the
exact age of each lot. This is very simply
and efficiently done by cultivating The
sense of taste We once heard of an in
stance where wine faster, man who be-
came very proficient in this art, being
called in to pass judgment on hogshead
Of wine decided there was slight, very
slight, taste of iron to the wine. This was
not believed by the owner of the wine UNI
til the cask was empty, when he found q
small iron key in the bottom of it. We do
not expect every butter-maker to reach
this height Of perfection in the art OF
tasting, but there is one thing he should
do. and that is study the subject. To do
this let him taste all the fine butter he
can get hold of, and not with the set no.
ton in his head that his make is finer, but
with an honest effort to find wherein this
lot differs from his own make. Has it a
stronger butter taste, or has it, as it prob
ably has to him, q more insipid taste-a
little too fine perhaps for his tobacco
tongue. If so, he should get his wife to
do the tasting. When you hear of man
taking premium on his butter at fair
or dairy convention, ride over, if it is ten
miles away, and examine his butter. Taste
it over and over again until you catch its
peculiarities. Take some home if you can
get it for love or money, and talk it over
with members of your family. Some OF
them will be able to point out correctly
the essence of merit in it, and ten to one
! you will be able to catch the hang of the
thing and be able to do it yourself.
In cultivating the taste for testing but
ter, one thing must be borne in mind. DO
not choose as the best article that which
is most liked by your own family. They
may have their peculiar notions. What
you want is to study the tastes of your
customers and make your butter come up
to their requirements, no matter what
opinion you may have of their judgment
on the subject. 1t is far easier to adapt
yourself to them than to force customers
to take your butter against their will.
They will not do it.-4mericam D0j,yman.

Intellect.

Few of us ever stop to thank the Crea-
tor of all things for that glorious and di-
vine gift, intellect. Those inclined to think
at all must contemplate almost with feel
ing of veneration, the immense power of
the human brain. The grand and lofty as
pirations, the perpetual looking after high
er and better things it engenders! How
quickly the man who is more than ordina-
rily well endowed intellectually will feel
the necessity of rising above the average
standard of excellence, no matter what his
condition in life, and strive to soar to realms
unknown to his less fortunate brothers.
How quickly the intellectual man makes
his power felt! How surely he leads those
around him by the force of his intellect tor
good or evil! Intellect becomes blessing
to all mankind if rightly applied, but if
perverted it becomes an evil.
Although God has endowed all perfect
human beings with intellect, yet he has
given to some more than to others II is
of those highly endowed we wish to speak,
as they, in great degree, hold in their
hands the veal or woe of nations, as well
as of individual beings.
1t seems to be beyond doubt that the
luUtllCClutl WlChttl Ildll NOIh lAOlC
ruin and desolation than one that is not
intellectual. Where the one brings all the
powers that have been given to him for
great and good ends into play, TO further
his wicked designs, the other brings only
ignorance and generally brute force For
although all human beings have knowl-
edge Of right and wrong, those of high
er intellectual order are better able to dis
criminate between the two than those
whom God, for wise purpose, has cndow-
ed but sparingly.
An intellectual man will perhaps not Of
ten commit such atrocious crimes rs a stu
pid one, yet in many cases will his exam
pie invite those easily impressed to follow
in his footsteps, for the reason that he is
looked up to on account of his intellect
while from the more brutal they shrink in
horror.
Sad it is to contemplate that the man
created in Gods own image, with not even
the excuse of ignorance-which at least
pardons faults and crimes in great meas
ure-should be neither able nor willing to
practice self-government! That he to whom
it is given to rule the Church and the State
should so often use his best gift for the at.
tainment of evil ends!

STRIKE NOW.

The past has gone beyond thy hand
With many u broken vow.
The coming moment is not thine,
Life stands between, a narrow line,
Strike while the irons h0t-strke now.
Now is the time to do the deed,
Now the time to uproot theweed,
Act, not pause to enquire how:
Each passing moment chilIs the glow,
Good forging twins the thought and blow
Strike while the irons hot-strikc now.
Plan as we will, strike as we may,
All power, hope, growth from day to day,
To the crushing now must bow.

as far as the national banks SIRE concerned are:

as far as the national banks sre concerned are:
First-That the new law compels all ma
tionsl banks whether they choose to tske
scrip circulation or not, to invest oue-third of
their capital IN government bonds.
Second-Thss all national bsnlSs which do
not at present hol1 4 or a per cent. bonds
are compelled TO invest in tho per cent.
bonds. as no other bonds will be received.
either in order to comply with tho law re-
quiring them to deposit one.third of their
capital or as basis of circulation.
Third-Should q bank elect to take out cir
culation or The d6posi. Of bonds it cannot
retire It's Totes, rs at present, under the act of
June 20, 1874, which requires simply the de-
pcsit Of ,old or legal tenders for tho amount

It's notes or obtain possession of them ana
present them 20 tho comptroller of the cur
rency in sums of not less than $4,000, where
upon Its bonds are released. 1t is plain from
this that the process of retiring the circuls-
ton Of any national bank would take years
to accomplish.
As an example of the working of the new
law, suppose you subscribe for S500,000 Of
the three per cents, this viii entit'e the bank
TO S4b0,0OO of circulating NOES. The profit
on that amount, provided the bonds re.
manned vt par, would be about per cent
Should the market price of the bonds deckne
your profit would bs wiped out very easily.
The comptroller would thon call upon you
for further deposit Of bonds to make up
your deficiency. Your bonds are tied up and
should they increase in value you cannot
obtain control of them and reap tho benefit
of rise any more than you can stop the loss
of the fall.
Again, suppose your bank capital becomes
impaired; the only resort you have then is to
allow the bank to 20 into liquidation or
make an assessment on your stockholders
for tho amount of the deficiency. Under the
present law if the capital of bank becomes
impaired the capital stock may be reduced,
the circulation return to the amount 10.
quired and the business of the bank continue
as usual.
Had there been no attempt to pass fund
ing BILL but simply TO re-ensct sections $3.50
and 5,l60 revised statutes, the national banks
would be justified in retiring and would be
likely TO retire their circulation with jus! Us
much promptne;s as in the present ease.

Railroad lg0Ws.
st. Louis Republican

MIR. Il. G. Marqusrd, the acting president
Of The Iron Mountain railroad, is in the city,
having just returned from a trip over the
whole line, and, in fact, as far as San An
tonic, Texas. Ho says that the order has
been given that tho Memphis & Little
Rockford be put in thoroughly GOOD and
safe condition, aud that $780, 600 be devoted
this gear for that specific purpose. The net
earnings will be used right along until this
is accomplished, leaving the small floating
debt to be liquidated at some future time.
As matter Of duty, as we'll as policy, tho
road, he contends should be made safe and
durable. 1t will benefit shippers and save
lives.
The Memphis Sc Little Rock road will
be.run in en-ira harmony with the Iron
Mountain, ard justice will be done the
Memphians though the heavens fall. 1t has
also been pretty well decided to change the
guage, which is now five feet. Under the
present arrangements passengers who leave
Memphis Ia the afternoon or evening for
Little Rock and the south are compelled to
leave their beds Mt midnight at Little Rock.
The directors have not yet rendered their
decision ordering the change, but il seems to
DO the general opinion that the guage will be-
changed. The Memphis papers do not look
upon this move very fsyorably, maintaining
that it is 'another dig" ut their city. Their
complaints seem not only prematuFs but
rather OUT Of place. On the contrary, q
change Of gusge would be of great benefit 20
Memphis. Through sleepers from the Bluff
city could then be run over the entire line to
Texas
MIR. MarquRnd says further that there will
10 no sntagonam in rates, which will merely
be adjusted and guaranteed. The Iron
Mountain has tho control and they ARE going
to run The road, not to spite Mem 2hia but 20
make money.
MIR. Marquand reports greet activity at
Ssn Antonio, The International and Crest
Northern is pushing their line on to Laredo.
II reference TO tho reported consolidation
of the ST. Louis, Iron Mountain & Sou.h-
ern, the International s. Great Northern
and the Pexss Pacific roads, he stated yes
terday that the directors and stock-holders
will take the matter under consideration.
