SOAP THAT FLOATS,
And Ordinary soap that Sinks to the Bottom
Of tho Washtub and Disappears.

Of tho Washtub and Disappears.
II wish you had soap that would float" a
lady said yesterday to n clerk In a large grocery
store on Sixth avenue. You have no idea how
ordinary soap is wasted. The servants let 1t
remain In the bottoms Of the washtubs. dish
pans. and scrubbing pals. and when the water
Is poured of. the soap has the consistency OF
mush and a new bar must be taken from tho
box. II the soap would only float. they would
see 1t. and tnke It out OF the water when they
were through with it,"
We have had Heating SOAP. but haven't any
at present" said the clerk. 1T did not prove a
success for household purposes. It's advnn-
ta2es in always being visible were counter
acted by tho raCidity with which It wore away
when In use. You SEQ ii must be lighter than
tho ordinary soap in order to float. and as tho
made is about tho same. one must be less solid
than the other. Floating soap is light because
there Is mir in it. Just think Of heavy home-
made breal and light French bread. and you
will get pretty good idea of tho relative formI-
tion of the two soaps"
Is there no way BY which floating soap can
DO made to last 7"
Il don't think so. Tho liquid SOAP. before
being made into hars. IL beaten up Just rs the
whites Of eggs are beaten. Tho object is 70 en-
trap air. The result IL spOngy SOAP. There
are some varieties OF CASTLE soap which float
floats. but there Is not great deal Of it. For
washing clothes aud srruhbng 1t is useless, in
my opinion. 1t would he u good thing II we
could get hold Of II durable soap Of this charac-

Lost Names.
From the Chrisfida World.


They lived, and they were useful; this We know
And naught beside;
No record Of their naines 10 left to show
How soon they died;
they did their work, and then they passed away,
An unknown band,
And took their places with the greater host
lii the higher land.
And were they young. were they growing old,
Or III, or well,
Or lived In poverty, or had much gold,
No one cav teli;,
One only thing known OF them. they were
Faithful AMI true
Disciples OF the Lord, aud strong through prayer
To save and do.
But what avns the gift Of empty faulei
They lived to God.
They loved the aweetness Of another name,
And gladly trod
The rugged ways of earth that they might DO
Helper, friend,
And In the Joy Of this their ministry
Be spent aud spend.
No glory clusters round thstr ns.nes on sarth; .
But IN iod'a heaven

And there Ia given

Although unknown.
And there Lost names slime forth IN brightest rays
