Fancy soaps, which are made in great
variety for the toilet, are usually scented
with some aromatic oil. For this branch
Of the trade the ordinary commercial
soaps are used, after undergoing a pro-
cess of refinement, or a soap Is specially
made for the purpose from almond OLE
or the like Much taste is shown by the
best makers in the selection and combi-
nation of the perfumes, which, along
with the coloring matters, such as YER
million, yellow ochre, aniline, ETC., are
usually boiled up with the soap. To ia
cilltate this operation, as well-dried
soap does not readily melt, it is usually
cut up in fine shavings, and after boil
ing is well worked under rollers until it
presents a uniform appearance. II the
soap is intended to be highly scented, or
very expensive perfumes are to be en-
ployed, the cold process is adopted, as
much of the strength OF the scent Is lost
by boiling. In this case the soap is
shredded as before, and the perfume
and coloring matter well amalgamated
with it by being worked in mortar with
a pestle. 1t is then divided into Jumps,
and roughly nodded with the hand into
something near to the shape it is finally
to assume. After being left on the rack
to dry for about wsek it is pressed into
a mold, which imparts to the cake the
form and device which may be required,
and when taken out the edges are
trimmed, and the surface polished with
the hand. Transparent soaps are pre-
pared by taking an ordinary hard soap
and dissolving it in hot alcohol, after
having stored it for the purpose of driv-
ing off all the water. Soap being COM
pletely soluble in this medium, any ex-
traneous matters which it may contain
can be readily separated by filtration,
care being taken to keep the solution
hot during the process. The alcohol is
then evaporated out of the filtrate, and
on cooling it hardens into a transparent
soap. These soaps are colored, accord
ing to fancy, with vegetable colors dis
solved in alcohol.

Life in the Polar Regions.

n il impossible to form an idea of q
tempest in the polar seas. The icebergs
are like floating rocks whirled along a
rapid current. The huge crystal mount
aims dash against each other, back
ward and forward, bursting each
other with roar like thunder,
and returning to the charge, until
losing their equilibrium, they tum-
BILE over in cloud of spray, upheaving
the ice fields, which fall afterward like
the crack of whip-lash on the boiling
sea. The sea gulls fly away screaming,
and often black shining whale comes
for an instant putting to the surface
When the midnight sun grazes the hor-
lion, the floating mountains and the
rocks seem immersed in wave of beau
tiful purple light. The cold is by no
means so insupportable as is supposed.
We passed from heated cabin at 30 deg.
above zero to AZ deg. below zero in the
open air without inconvenience. A
much higher degree of cold becomes,
however, insufferable if there is wind
At Is deg. below zero steam, as from
boiling kettle, rises from the the wat
er. At once frozen by the wind, it falls
i'll fine powder. This phenomenon is
called ice- smoke. At 40 deg. the snow
and human bodies also smoke, which
smoke changes at once into millions of
tiny particles, like needles of ice, which
fill the air and make light, continuous
noise, like the rustic of silk. At this
temperature the trunks OF trees burst
with loud report, the rocks break up and
the earth vomits smoking water. Knives
break in cutting butter. Cigars go out
by contact with the ice on the beard. To
talk IS fatiguing. At night the eyelids
are covered with crust of ice, which
must be carefully removed before one
can omen them.

A New Vice.

A number of persons more or less
prominent in different walks of life have
died in this city within few months
from the direct effect, il is said, of hypo-
dermic injections Of morphine. The
effect of morphine under the skin is de-
scribed as peculiarly and wonderfully
agreeable. A delicious languor steals
over the frame, the senses are wrapped
as in a voluptuous waking dream, and a
most joyous consciousness of perfect yet
fascinating repose softly overfows tho
mind. Even strong men and women
have frequently found it hard to resist
its allurements, and have not been able
to resist its beatitudes without arousing
all their will On this account some
physicians will not administer or pre-
scribe morphine under any circum-
stance, fearing the consequences to their
patients. Not few women OF the finer
type have been wrecked by the habit,
and many men, professional and COM
mercial, are steadily running themselves
by its indulgence. 1t was hailed as a
great blessing once, and SO it is, properly
regulated; but, like so many blessings, it
may readily be converted into curse.

Wire Network.

The number of wires which spread
over every large city, like seine, is
constantly on the increase, not only be-
cause Of the growth in use, but because
of repeated electrical invention requiring
them. To the general telegraph was
added the fire alarm, followed by the
American District system, and finally
telephone. TO these must be added the
electric light, which, on superseding gas,
as sooner or later it is bound to do, will
still further increase the wire-woven
shrouds encompassing our cities. Their
unsightliness, especially the ugliness Of
the poles which uphold them, is of itself
enough to condemn them; but In addition
they are liable to interfere with the Fire
Department particularly In its use of
ladders. The New York Tribune makes
n suggestion worthy of attention, In re-
commanding q system of underground
tunnels which should be accessible with
out tearing up the streets, in which all
wires of every service, and the gas and
the water-pipes should be laid. The
more dependent q community becomes
upon these modern methods for provid-
ing light, water, fuel and communication,
the more serious become the Interrupt
tons. Every city which avails itself of
them will be compelled to see that those
who ask the privilege Of the streets in
providing these instrumentalities, shall
exercise the privilege in manner most
useful and convenient TO the community.

English wives, high and low, keep
household accounts in a way that would
surprise many an American woman.
Every penny spent in the house goes
down in the housekeepers book, with
which every mistress of household is
provided. Every bill is filed away care
fully when receipted. In fact, a perfect
system of order prevails, which enables
every man to know exactly what it costs
him to keep up his home. In that coun-
try every expenditure is made to bear its
proper relation to the income received
House rent must be only such percent
age, table outlay SO much, servants
wages SO much, children's schooling so
much, alms-giving so much, and if at the
end of the year it is found that the in
come has been exceeded, these people
Immediately proceed to reduce items in
every department The general style of
their living remains about the same, but
it is necessarily not quite SO genuine -

Training Circus Horses.

"How long," askedthe reporter, 'does
il take 70 break horse IMP"
From eighteen months to two years,
for good and sure pad-riding. Care has
to lie taken that he does not shy, or
break his gait, but goes round the circus
nng at an even pace, so that the per-
former can do whatever he wants, by
time. If this is not secured the per-
former can never tell where he is going
to jump. Much, however, depends upon
what the horse is being trained for, all
the best horses being used only for a
special performance. In most cases the
riders, If they are experienced, train
their own animals, and thus, when they
are ridden, they understand much better
what is required of them. Ducrow,
Madame DoclSrill, Melville, Sebastian,
Stickney, Cooke, Reed, and the like all
train their own horses and own them.
This system of private training has only
been In practice for few years. Man
ayers of circus, under the old custom,
were always expected to furnish pad
horses, and those required for two and
four-act performances, 80 that per-
former going from one company to an
other would always find horse ready
for him to mount, and in short time
horse and rider would be able to under
stand each other. Nowadays some of
the crack stars have as many as eight or
ten horses of their own, most of them
trained for a special performance. They
are very valuable, most of them being
full blooded, and imported from En-
gland and France. Great care has to be
taken of them, as they are extremely Ii
able to take cold after ring perform

USEFUL HINTS.

To TAKE fresh paint off wooden gar
ment rub the spots with stale bread un-
til removed.
LEMONS can be kept sweet and fresh
for months by putting them in a clean,
tight cask or jar, and cover with cold
water. The water must be changed as
often as once every other day, and the
cask kept in cool place.
To DESTROY ANTs.-Take carbolic
acid diluted with water-take one part
acid to ten parts water-and with a
syringe throw this liquid into oil the
cracks and holes where they nest, and
ants will soon vanish. Cockroaches are
also driven away by it.
WHEN sewing buttons on children's
clothes where there will be much strain
on the button, the danger from tearing
the cloth out will be greatly lessened by
putting small button directly under
the larger outside button. This applies
of course, only to buttons with holes
through them.
AN exchange says: "For worms and
flies infesting house plants, several read
ers recommend watering them with lime
water. Close the opening at the bottom
of the pot, fill with lime water and let it
stand for au hour or two, then remove
the plug ut the bottom and drain il of.
If one application is insufficient, try
second.
To GIVE beautiful gloss to shirt
bosoms, procure two ounces of fine
white gum arabic and pound it to pow
der, put it into pitcher and pour on to
it pint or more of boiling water, ac-
cording to the degree of strength you
desire, and then, having covered it, let
it set all night. In the morning pour it
carefully from the dregs into q clean
bottle, cork it, and keep it for further
use. A tablespoonful of gum-water
stirred into pint of starch that has
been made in the usual manner will give
beautiful gloss to shirt bosoms, and to
lawns (either white or printed) look of
newness to which nothing else can
restore them after washing. 1t is also
good for thin white muslin and all kinds
OF laces.
To CLEAN MIRRORS. Stake a news
paper or part of one, according to the
size of the glass. Fold it small and dip
it into basin of clean cold water when
thoroughly wet squeeze it out in your
hand as you would sponge, and then
rub it hard all over the face of the glass,
taking care that it is not 80 wet as to
run down In streams. In fact, the paper
must only be completely moistened or
damped all through. After the glass
has been well rubbed with wet paper,
let it rest for few minutes, and then
go over it with fresh dry newspaper
folded small in your handy till it looks
clear and bright, which it will almost
Immediately and with no further trouble.
This method, simple as it is, is the
best and most expeditions for cleaning
mirrors, and it will be found so on trial
giving cleanness and polish that
can be produced by no other process.

A Japanese Sermon.

In Isabella Birds "Unbeaten Tracks
in Japan" this sketch of sermon on
domestic life is given:
Would you like to know how very di-
verting sermon in Japan can be made =?
The following is fragment of transla-
ton of one OF considerable length. The
sermon, as is proper, takes text which
is to be found in the Chinese classics /:
THAT which is evil, be it but small, do
not. That which is good, be it but
small, fail not to do" The echoes of q
thousand pulpits are in the opening sem
fences. "These words, my good friends,
are found in the section called Hagen of
the Shogaku, which is so well known to
all of you. They are indeed blessed
words, well suited to our text this even
ing. These words are short, but they
contain an invaluable lesson" Two or
three pages of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
condensed moral teaching follow.
Sounder ethics on this subject could
not found, and the terse maxims are il
Illustrated by anecdotes and comparisons
leveled to the capacity of boor or child.

ry dialogue which L can well believe will
