HOMEMADE SOAPS.


Recipes That Have Been Tested By Mrs.
A. X. Parker.
There are few articles that enter into
such general use in the household -
SOAP, and as every kitchen affords album
dant material for making It. II the
housekeeper will see that it Is saved.
many dollars expense will be saved
every year. A large jar should be set
in = convenient place in the kitchen or
pantry, and all refuse grease, such a.
meat skins, bones, pot skimmings, burnt
or rancid grease should be thrown in
and always kept carefully covered.
When ready to use. unless the grease 10
all pure. IL should be cleared. by putting
in . kettle and adding pint OF water to
every pound Of grease. and boiling for
one hour, stirring all the while, and
skimming oil the refuse matter, when IL
nav be allowed to cool. The grease
will form in solid cake on the water
and can be readily :. moved.
Many very excellent modes Of making
soap are now in use; the old-fashioned
s.soft soap" ~ our grandmother's day -
even vet preferred by many housekeep-
ers. but ii is not possible to make IL
when wood ashes can not be had, and the
process, At bcst, Is very troublesome
and laborious. 1t is therefore best to
use some Of the excellent preparations
that can be bought ready for use In soap
making.
For the benefi Of inexperienced house,
keepers. we give the following recipes
for making soap:
Soft Soap: Put to boil any quantity

When boiling. add three-quarters Of

Cold Soap: Dissolve one can Of pull

cold water. and set aside to cool. Melt
1--WE pounds and half Of clean grease in

the dissolved lye into 1t, and stir thor
ourhly until the mass thickcns; set in
the sun or warm place for twenty four
hours. when the soap should be hard

There seems 10 lie sufficient reason
for the belief that the heat At present
emitted from the sun Is neither greater
nor less than that which our luminary
used 10 dispense ages ago. Who're the
vine and the olive now grow, the vine
and the olive we're growing twenty
centuries back We must not. how
ever, place too strong reliance on the
deduction from such fact Darwin
has taught as how by natural selection
an organism can preserve its adaptation
Notwithstanding tho gradual change OF
the surrounding conditions. The facts.
however. fail TO show any grounds for
imagining that there has been changes
in the climates OF the earth within his
toric times
We have geological evidence as to the
character Of the climates which pre-
vailed at remote antiquity far earlier
than any historical testimony. The
records Of the rocks show US unques-
tionaly that our globe has passed
through many striking vicissitudcs OF
heat and cold. Those records demon
strate that there nave been periods
during which some OF the fairest re-
gions OF this globe were dcsolated by a
frost so frighttul that they became
quickly cased IN solid ice. There have
also been periods when conditions OF .
precisely opposite character have pre-
Jailed. Those polar regions which are
ow the perennial abode Of impenetra-
le ice have once enjoyed succession

No doubt the question as to the origin
bf these great climatic changes which
bave so frequently occurred in the

ificulties. Opinion is divided as 70
What the cause Of these changes may
lave been. do not now enter into
his subject. because for our present
purpose it suffices to note one very i'm
