THAT SOAP.

Hands of a Man Who Was Entirely
Ignorant Of lis Merits.
Some persons seem to think that
the article in Yesterdays TIMES emit
tied "The Soap Craze" was intended
to discourage investment in the recipe
sold for 81 by very worthy lady of
this city, and which gives the holder
the right to manufacture his or her
own soap. Such was not the case.
The recipe is good. the soap made ac-
cording to the formula is very supe'
rior article, and the cost thereof does
not exceed four cents per pound in
small lots. In lots of so pounds the
cost is about p cents; in 2o-pound
lots 5 to B cents. Several good
housewives of this city who have used
it for two or three weeks land made it
themselves), prefer it to any soap for
which they pay 10 cents per pound
at the groceries, and will not be with
out it in future. They say it is no
trouble at all to make the soap; that
they can boil . kettle full of it while
cooking dinner, but that care is re-
CURED to keep it from boiling over on
to the stove. The TIMES reporter.
having thoroughly examined into the
matter, has no hesitancy in recon-
mending it as cheap, superior and de-
sirable.
The fact is that the article in yes
terday's TINES was written by the
agricultural editor, who doesn't know
anything about soap. When he first
heard people talking about it, he
rusht d to the Office and said there
must have been rich strike some
where, because everybody was talking
about money-about ''soap! But
he knows more about it now, and is
quite enthusiastic in his praise Of the
new soap. You ought to hear him &c
on. A lady friend OF his gave him g
small piece last night. He put it ii
his vest pocket, where he has KEEP
. matches for years, and which gave ou
smell of birthstone that caused PEG
