The Shortcomings of soan.

There are probably few people who dc
not find the joy Of living made less keen
by having to read each day the advertise,
ments of popular soaps. Their good
qualities are SO superlatively good, their
effect on the complexion, the health and
longevity SO unfailing, their chemical
composition in each case SO remarkably
in accord with all that exact science and
chronological art could produce, that il
discourages the medical man, who finds
so much in his own measures that are
imperfect and incomplete.
We read. therefore. with a certain
sense of relief the results of an in.
vestigation made by DIR. B. Fl. Paul on
the composition of these highly lauded
toilet soaps. DIR. Paul states that fol
bodily ablution soaps should not contain
an excess of alkai but should be neutral
or nearly so. He found, however, that
among toilet soaps, as usually met with
perfectly neutral soap is the exception,
and that a trustworthy soap of that kind
is still desideratum. Three of five
soaps Of the higher grade were described
as "super-fatted" soaps, one Of them be.
ing alleged to have been prepared &C.
cording to Unnas formula. But, In
fact, they all were found to contain the
full proportion Of alkai required for the
saponiication Of the fat, besides some
additional potash, which, in one Of them,
was considerable. It seems, therefore,
that the perfect soap is yet to be made.

A Ministerial Joke.

Ministers like their little jokes as we'll
as any one else. Chaplain Wharton, Of
the Grand Army of the Republic for the
state OF Wisconsin, is no exception, and
he perpetrated one while ago which
acted as boomerang; it came back and
hit him hard. 1t was at some great
G. A. R. affair, where speeches were
being made, and one speaker desired to
refer to the incident mentioned in the
Bible where some one tied the tails Of
two hares together. The speaker was at
loss to remember who this person was,
and he asked the chaplain. With face
as sober as judge, that gentleman said
it was Goliah. The speaker went on
with his talk and made his reference,
speaking Goliah's name in all confidence.
Some one behind pulled his coat tail and
said in a whisper: 1T was not Goliah;
it was Absalom." This rather Knocked
him out for moment, but quickly re-
covering he said: "Well, there appears
to be little discrepancy about who it
was that tied the hares' tails together
As was not sure about it myself went
to Chaplain Wharton, thinking he should
be authority on the matter, and he told
me it was Goliah." This so completely
turned the laugh upon the chaplain that
the speaker got back his composure and
finished his remarks in good STYLE

Where VIII Heaven Bel

How about the location of the per-
manent heaven, the resting place Of the
savedr Where will it be located, on this
earth or In the skies above? We read, !
Thess. iv, 1917, that the Lord will de-
scend from heaven and resurrect the
righteous, and also catch up tho living
holy ones, and that altogether they will
meet the Lord in the air. By reading
Rev. Xxx, SO, we also learn that that
will be the first resurrection, and that
they Ghe righteous) will live and reign
with Christ 1000 years. According to
the Bible this 1000 years is all the time
the saints will occupy the realms of the
air.
When this 1000 years expires, how
ever, the "City of God," with the saints,
comes down upon the earth and the
second resurrection, that of the wicked,
will take place. AS these demons-elect
come forth from their graves they will
see the beloved city, and go up and en-
compass it; and REV. Xxx, 81 fire will
pour down upon and utterly destroy
them. The same ffrewhich destroys the
wicked purifes and renovateS the earth,
and this globe in its redeemed state, if
the accounts above cited are to be taken
as conclusive, will become the home of
the saved throughout the ceaselesS ages

White Lead Injurious,

It is said that painting floors with any
color containing white lead is injurious
as it renders the wood soft and less ca
p2ble of wear. Other paints without
white lead, such as ochre, raw lumber or
sienna, are not injurious and can be used
with advantage. Varnish made of dry
ing lead salts is also said to be destruct-
i've, and it is recommended that the bo-
rate of manganese should be used to dis
pose the varnish to dry. A receipt for a
good floor varnish is as follows: Take
two pounds of pure white borate Of man.
ganese, finely powdered, and add it little
by little to saucepan containing ten
pounds of inseed oil, which is to be we'll
stirred and raised to a temperature of
$50 dogs. Fahrenheit. Heat 100 pounds
of linseed oil in boiler till ebullition
takes place, then add to it the first
liquid, increase the heat and allow it to
boil for twenty minutes. Then remove
from the fire and filter the solution
through cotton cloth. The varnish is
then ready for use, two coats Of which
may be used with final coat of shellac,
if a brilliant polish is required. Phila-

Mind Your Own Business.

Keep your mind on your share of the
work; donot try to manage for the whole
firm. remember a man who used to
amuse me very much. He never earned
more than $15 week until he had passed
80 years Of age, and during his married
life his wife had earned more than he
had. Yet he would grow intensely ex-
cited because large and exceedingly
prosperous corporation would not adopt
his plans, though his connection with it
was paying his fare as passenger on it's
cars. The firm employing him would,
if managed by him, grow wealthy in a
year, he insisted. Still the firm dispensed
with his valuable services and were able
to conduct business. That man had been
so busy all his business life planning
affairs with which he had no connection
that he really had no time to think of his
personal work. He was not lazy, but he
did not know enough to mind his own
business. Union.

WAITING.

From dawn to nightfall at her window sitting,
She waits, while drift the heavy hours away,
And, like the swallows, all her thoughts go fit
ting
To that sweet south wherein they fain would
stay.
Yet, all day long she listens for his coming,
All the long day she dreams of one dear face;
She hears his whisper in the bees low humming,
She feels lis kisses in the winds embrace
Lonely she Dreams while the warm sunshine
logcrs
Upon her face, her pallid face, yet fair;
Alone sits Sobbing, While with silver fingers
The moonbeaIns thread her soft, unbriidel hair
All, heavy heart. so passionate its yearning,
She needs must know that al her peace is Ger;
That eager pain meath her white bosom burning
Tells her lis gone, To enter there no more.
But once to feel, unchecked, his fond caressing!
One Wild sweet hour, close TO his heart to press!
There her thought stops; what else of bliss or
blessing
The great world holds. she does not care to
guess.
Stl at her window dreaming, longing, weeping,
While to their mates the gray doves coo and
CALL
She leans and watches the slow clouds go creep
ing
Far down the blue, beyond the city wall.

De Mortuis NIL Mist Bonum,

This polite fashion Of saying nothing
but good of the dead has, like the dead,
been run into the ground. It has done
positive harm to the rising generation.
Men have died who ought to have died
sooner. There was no good in them To
speak of, and they have occupied such
prominent places in the affairs Of the
world that they could not well be left
out OF conversation or history without
making hole in it. The Rev. DR.. Alb.
bolts goody-goody histories of great men
for Sunday schools are of questionable
moral effect. He writes up Napoleon
Bonaparte as if he were saint.
He has sugar coated other unsaint-
ly characters, and made them sweet
and pleasant for the plastic minds OF
youth to take. The eulogies of dead
congressman by congressman living are
full OF complimentary matter that would
not have stood a minute on the stump in
face of the opposition. Uergymen arr
frequently embarrassed-at the funeral
OF some wealthy but dishonest and i'm
moral person-to know what to say oil
the dead, standing there between thu
dead and the living. They might speal
the truth; but that would often offend
the living, and in the clergyman's cas-
it is the living that must be considered

like you are, and if only one-third as
many went as 60 now, ten times as
many would go as go now? Seer"

faint glimmer, and trying to see is what

stance of his wife number one, whom he
deserted forty years ago in Ireland. He

"What queer pumpkin! looks more
like squash, don't it," remarked one
Lewiston woman to her visitor, lately.
That's just what 1 thought" replied
the other, letting her work drop into her
lap. Il looked and looked at my can,
but it was labeled Pumpkin and so 1
supposed it must be pumpkin and made
pumpkin pies of it; but Tom declared
they were queer pumpkin pies" "Wel,
it says pumpkin and believe-why, see
here!" Her little girl had torn off the
outside paper and on that next the can
was picture of squash, and under
meath: ''This squash, ETC." Henceforth
these women put no more confidence in
labels. And perhaps when Tom gets
over saying, "queer pumpkin pies" one
of them will feel more kindly disposed
towards the manufacturer whose squash
is pumpkin if pumpkin will sell better.
