Conct rning Soap.


am "notional' about soap, and one
of my very explicit directions to the
dish-washer is: "Never use laundry
soap in the dish-washing, for it is made
of dead beasts of any and every descrip-
ton, and far from being fit to wash
clothes with, h,eyen." And every box buy
of il, make IA weak VOW that it shall be
the last. gentleman was telling me
the other day that "Out West" where
he had Travelled much, hogs that die
from cholera are rendered for soap
grease. Scientists inform us that many
skin diseases are produced b. impure
soaps, and that infectious diseases are
sometimes generated through them.
Upon reelection the possibility and
probab lity OF all this are easily appar-
rent. Even in home made soap care
should be observed to keep the grease
clean and sweet This can be done bv
the frequent rendering of it, by at once
putting it in strong lye. 1t is perfectly
obvious that what is used to wash the
hands, particularly, which are often cut
or otherwise injured. should be free
from all poisonous substances. lfthere
can be enough of homemade soap to
supply the needs OF the house, it should
be cause for thanksgiving. But If
one has to buy soap, there are room
and reason for heeNercise of discretion,
For dish-washing and cleaning pots and
pans use washing soda II is quite as
cheap and greatly to be preferred.
For the toilet choose soap made from
oil 1t costs more, but, like every
other best thing, it is cheapest in the
end. Palm-oil soap is fully as nice as
that made from olive oil, and l. for
one, like it better. Genuine CASTLE soap
is made from olive oil and soda. and
have been assured that even for laun-
dry purposes the CASTLE soap is as
economical as the ordinary hard soap
sod for that purpose. Carbolic soap
is, of course, excellent for skin diseases
and wounds OF all sorts; but much that
is sold for good soap is moth ng of the
sort. / member sending young

An A cient Weather Prophets Fate.

the punishment which Dean Swift and
some of his friends inflicted upon a
weather prophesying imposter in queen

with revolver in each hand. He
didnot get far, however, till u bull
