The "0ld Hickory is built for strength,
durability, lightness, and is of graceful APP
pearance.
The "Old Hickory is as perfect as it is
possible for wagon TO be built.
The superiority of the "Old Hickory" over
other wagons is due
First-To the adoption OF that form or mod.
Ell that comprises the largest amount of strength
with the least superhuous weight
Second--To the adoption of that shape
size, and adjustment OF Skens, wheels and
gear, and that arrangement of tongue, evener
and singletrees that gives the least friction
and easiest draft.
Third-To the great advantages the manu-
facturers OF the '0ld Hickory have over
other wagon makers in location, situated as
they are in the centre of the finest timber re-
gion ia the world. The company makes Sc
leciions from the white oak and black hickory
Of Kentucky, which are justly celebrated.
Fourth-To the great advantage Of having
plenty OF the hest timber 10 work on, only

Poisonous Soap.

Mothers and nurses can not be too
careful about the soap they use on the
little ones. Few physicians know how
many of the so-called skin diseases
among children are caused by the use
of ofadulterated, poisonous soap. An ON,
alysis of several cakes of the pretty and
perfumed toilet soaps that are sold on
the streets showed the presence OF
ground glass, soluble glass, silex. pipe
clay, rotten stones, borax, plaster OF Par
is, tin, crystal magnesia, pumice stone,
oat meal and other substances which are
added to give the soap weight, hardness,
tougbness or clearness. The common
colorings are vermillion, Venetian red
and carmine, ultramarine green, pot
pigment, green copperas, Spanish
brown, ultramarine blues, yellow and
scarlet analines and burnt amber.
Many of the perfuming ingredients,
though harmless in themselves, become
chemically poisonous by admixture.
Adding the dangers from all these to
the rancid, diseased, putrid qualities OF
grease used, and mothers may we'll be
appalled, at the permanent evils these
neat-looking, delicately scented blocks
of toilet soap contain, ready to be re-
leased when moisteDed and applied to
the babes body.

tsln Haste, "

(From the Dstroit Free Press.}
A motherly- looking woman yesterday
carefully handed the stamp-clerk at the
postofice a letter marked in haste"
and inquired if there was any extra
charge for writing that on.
"Oh, none at all.
"How soon will the letter go out ?"
stIn about forty minutes. "
"No sooner than that ?"
"Well, we might hire special train
and get it off in about twenty minutes. "
"Would it be too much trouble?
"Oh, none at all.
She thought for a moment, turned the
letter over three or four times, and fin
ally said:
"I guess I won't ask you to hire q
special train, but if you will be kind
enough to telegraph my sister that [
have written her letter to tell her that
can't come till Monday, and to be at
the depot to meet me, and that mother
didn't go to Toledo after all, I shall be
ever so much obliged. Good morning. ="
