The CASTLE Soap Delusion.

FrOIf Inc EuiuUuIRu heNitW.
By some unaccountable means there has
been handed from generation to generation two
very erroneous ideas concerning CASTLE soap.
One error is that the materials Of which it is
composed are invariably of the best; the other,
that it is beneficial to the skin, and cOnse-
Quently desirable tor the toilet. These two
errors have SO taken hold of the popular mind
that it is customary to provide piece of the
'whte CASTLE soap" to wash the newborn
infant, and this is usually done by the advice
or sanction of the family physician, who has
imbbed the prejudice from his preceptor and
recommends it as matter OF course, without
using his own Judgment.
1t is now, however, becoming doubt among
physicians and nurses as to whether the favor
able opinion about CASTLE soap is not entirely
at variance with the true facts of the case and
it is a settled opinion with some that CASTLE
soap is really responsible for many skin diseases
that are prevalent, even among persons whose
occupation should cause them to be free from
such unwelcome and annoying complaints.
Ministers and lawyers. bankers and artists and
men and women whose occupations Cor want OF
OccupatiOn) would seem to preclude almost any
possibility of such ungenteel diseases as salt
rheum, letter, etc, STILL in spite of their appa-
rent exemption from exposure, are as likely as
any. not only to have these or worse skin
troubles, but to suffer with them for years.
Infants, even the children of the wealthy, sur
rounded by all that money can provide, are
oCth dihiCtcu uIu SOfcSs vi fcH-
dered hideOus by ugly scabs, that seemingly
cannot be either accounted for or relieved.
We advise the blame to be put in such cases
to their favorite SOAP where it usually properly
belongs, for in ninety-nine cases out OF hun
dred, skin diseases will be found to arise solely
from soap, and no matter how highly any par
ticular kind of soap is regarded, person with a
skin trouble should at once make a change.
1t Is really very doubtful If any vegetable oil
is adapted for soap intended for the skin. even
if the oil is fresh and sweet, but there is very
little doubt that even the very best brands of
white CASTLE soap are made from rancid olive
oil, which, being Of too poor quality for table
use, is used for making soap. The best i'm
ported CASTLE soap costs the importers only
from ten to twelve cents pound, all over that
paid by the public being profit to the importer
and retailer; and pure sweet olive Oil brings too
much to enable it to be made into CASTLE soap
and sold at any such price. We trust this article
will induce physicians to give this subject the
consideration that it deserves. and we feel con-
fident that the result will amply repay them for
their trouble

a large percentage OF water. 1t is deficient in

brain do not grow In size and weight alike-the
normal proportion of the front, back and lateral

ten. So, too, the normal proportion of the
chest to the lower portions of the body is not
attained until the eighth year, while that part
of the back (the lumbar) on which the sitting
posture mainly depends is even then only mod

years the base Of the brain grows rapidly, the
frontal bones extend forward and upward and

SLEEPERs IN CABS.
Men Who Would Rather Ride About

From the Philadelphia Tines
A cab driver dozed upon the box of his ve-

''How?"
Yes; caught sleeper"

regarded his QuestiOner with half-cOncealed
disdain. ''Why sleeper is a feer that hunks
in a cab, goes to bed in it, makes hotel out Of
it; no trouble, no clerk, no register; just walks
in, props himself up comfortable and begins

'It was near O'Clock this morning when this

"Nagging', as an Art.


The female nagger is the exact counterpart of
the male bully. The household bully of the
ordinary variety may be described as one who
is maniaca!ly intolerant Of household defects in
small things, who has ludicrously inflated
notion of what is due to him as the bread-win-
ner and central pillar of the establishment, and
who has never seriously attempted the disci-
pline OF controlling his more disaereeable
humors. Mean and contemplate as from the

Jefferson Davis, Military Policy.

Gen. Bea uregard, in The Century.
No people ever warred for independence with
more relative advantages than the confederates,
and if, as military question, they must have
failed, then no country must aim at freedom 10y
means of war. We were one in sentiment as in
territory, starting out not with a struggling
administration of doubtful authority, but with
our ancient state governments and fully
organized central government. AS a military
question, it was in no sense a civil war, but
war between two countres-fOr conquest on
one side, for self-preservatiOn on the other. The
SOUTH with it's great material resources, its
defensive means OF mountains, waterways, rail-
roads, and telegraph. with the immense adj
vantage of the interior lines Of war, would be
open to discredit as people If its failure could
not be explained otherwise than by mere mate
rial contrast. The great Frederick, at the head
of little people, not only beat back cOmbina-
ton of several great military powers but
conquered and kept territory, and NapO-
leon held combined Europe at the feet
Of France till his blind ambition over
leaped itself. 1t may be said that the south
had no FredericRs or Napoleons, but it had at
least as good commanders as it's adversary.
Nor was it the fault of our soldiers or peo-
pie. Our soldiers were as brave and intelligent
as ever bore arms. and il only for reasons al
ready mentioned they had determination SUI
periOr tC the enemy's. Our people bore devO-
ton to the cause never surpassed, and which no
war-making monarch ever had for his support;
they gave their all, even the last striplings
under the family roofs filling the ranks vOided
by the fall Of their fathers and brothers But
the narrow military view Ofthe head of the gov
eminent, which illustrated Itself in the outset
by ordering from Europe. not 1000 or 1000
&C., but 10000 stands of arms, as an increase
upon 5000, its first estimate. was equally mar
row and consequently timd in its employment
of our armies. The moral and material forces
actually engaged in the war made our success
moral certainty, but for the timid policy which
ignoring strategy as science and boldness of
enterprise as its ally-could never be brought to
view the whole theater of war as one subject of
which all points were but integral parts or to
hazard for the time points relatively unimpor-
tant for the purpose of gathering for an over
whelming and rapid stroke at some decisive
point; and which, again. with characteristic
mis-elatiOn, would push a victorious force d.
rectly forward into unsupported and disastrous
operations, instead of using Its victory to spare
from it strength sufficient to secure an equally
important success in another quarter.
