stefan, Eat least one in fifty has a Skin
disease of a more or less serious ma.
ture, and its cause may almost in.
yariably be traced to hotel soap. Every
person who has had occasion to be
hotel guest, no matter where, ia
familiar with the much worn cake
of soap that lies in wait for him on the
washstand, sometimes in a not over.
clean dish, and frequently glued to the
cover of the stand, according TO the
within Of the chambermaid. You have
MT the slightest idea in the world who
used the soap last, and very few per-
sons ever give the matter a thought.
1t would be an easy-gong individual,
and one singularly indifferent to con-
siderations Of cleanliness, who would
for moment think of using a towel
that might have been used by the
previous occupant of a room at hotel,
but the instances are rare where the
same guest will hesitate to use the soap
he finds in the room, although it may
scarcely be dry from the ablution Of
the last person who used it. The
travelling man does not stop to think
that the hotel soap is unexcelled as a
distributor Of cutaneous diseases, and
frequently those that ara difficult Of
eradication. The man who stops
habItually at the hotels here, there and
everywhere about the country, and
does not carry aud use his own soap,
deliberately courts the contracting Of
what may be a most distressing and
offensive malady"

The San Saba news. [volume] (San Saba, Tex.) 1873-1966, 1889-07-26

The Paris Bulletin de PLnprimerie con-
tains the following query, which I think
likely to interest your readers: 'What
was the highest price ever given for any
book2 We leave this question to be de
cided by competent authorities among
book lovers. We may, however, venture
to say that we know of one for which a
sum of 250, 900 francs $50, OOO) was paid
by its present owner, the German Govern
ment. That book is a missaI, formerly
given by Pope Leo X. to King Henry
VIII, of England, along with parchment
comforting on that sovereign the right of
assuming the title of Defender of the
Faith, borne ever since by English Kings.
Charles II. made present of the missal
to the ancestor of the famous Duke of
Hamilton, whose extensive and valuable
library was sold some years ago by
Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge of
London. The book which secured the
highest offer was a Hebrew Bible, in the
possession of the Vatican. In 1872 the
Jews Of Venice proposed to Pope julius
Ii. to buy the Bible, and to pay for it its
weight in gold. 1t was so heavy that it
required two men to carry it. Indeed, it
weighed 1925 pounds, thus representing
the value of half a million of francs,
(S100, 0O0) Though being much pressed
for money, in order to keep up the Holy
League against King Louis XII, of France,
Julius II. declined to part with the
volume. "--L9HdeB RQpbselIsr,

Unselfsh HorOism of the Samoans.

In all the sad history Of the recent
terrible naval disaster in the waters Of
Samoa there shines, through the darkness
of storm and shipwreck, and death, a
redeeming ray of light above that de-
plorable tragedy of the sea; and this is
to be found in the heroic conduct Of the
Samoaus.
Those people, alleged to be rude bar
barians by some of the most civilized
nations on the globe, proved, in the most
dangerous and trying hours of that awful
calamity, that they were inspired by
sentiments of humanity, courage and
magnanimity seldom manifested by men
OF races claiming superiority over them
in the nObler traits of heart or mind.
When the doomed ships of the Ameri-
can and German commanders, beaten
down by the resistless winds and butfeted
about by the waves, were dashed upon
the shores of their BAY, the natives forgot
who were their friends and who their
enemies in their gallant endeavors to
reach and rescue the survivors, who were
being tossed about in that boiling sea.
They forgot everything except that death
was striving to conquer a host of strug-
CLING human beings and that they were
their fcllowmen, deserving of every brave
and devoted effort they could make to
save them from their impending fate
These native barbarians, to their ever
lasting fame, be it said, rushed into the
raging sea and eudeavored to drag Is
safety the drowning men at the-sreatest
peril to their own lives. In fact, two of
them lost their own lives in this fearfully
dangerous duty they had taken upon
themselves, of saving the shipwrecked
sailors.
Therefore it would be well, as Admiral
Kimberly suggests, our Government
should make some official recognition OF
the heroic, scIf-sacriiicihg spirit OF the
Samoans. They are worthy OF ii, and Of
the honor of all civilized nations that
know how to appreciate the highest
form of human courage.-Nel0 Orleans
