The Use OF Slang.
trout.

"A man born and bred in the United
States fails TO appreciate how much
slang he daily uses in conversation.
said an intelligent American who had
just returned from continental tour.
He fully appreciates these blemishes.
however. when lie returns to America
after having had daily intercourse with
some of the well-brcd persons in
Europe. He picks up these bots on
perfect speech so gradually and they
multiply SO rapidly that before he is
aware OF the extent of these acqusi-
tions at lcast-one-tenth part of his
vocabulary consists of slang express
sions. This fact Is so true of America
that even the ignorant peasants of Ire
land recognize ii when their country
men return to their native land. AS
heard in America slang seems to add
force and expression TO conversation.
but this is only seeming for wi. IN con-
trasted with really simple aud conse-
quently elegant diction the difference
in strength can readily be seen. There
arc some slang words. however. in the
american vocabulary which. IL used at
the right time and place. find their
bulrs-eye like "A minnie ball. But as
rule the use of slang words is only
blemish on conversation, and its use
cam OF be too heartily condemned.

NEW DISCOVERY.
An Innovation In Soap Making.

Few realize that one OF the most impor-
tant factors In Keeping the skin I'm healthy
condition and free from pimples and
blotches. Is the use of perfectly pure soap,
free from irrltants and noxious ingredients.
Most OF the so-called Toilet Soaps" now
made are really injurious, and many Of the
skin diseases so prevalent, are aggravated by
their Use.
We take pleasure In calling the attention
OF our readers 10 the advertisement OF the
Chesebrough Manufacturing Company.
which appears in another column. This
Company are the original discovercrs and
only manufacturers OF Vaseline, known all
over the world rs the best emollient and
preventative ever manufactured. After
years OF patient experiments. they have re-
Gently been successful In making a "Vase-
line" soap for the skin, which Is perfectly
pure and neutral, aud which is claimed TO
be the best ever produced.
After having tried IL, we checrfully re-
commend the "Vaseline" Soap To our read
ers. IL Is not only n really merltorious ar
ticle from medical point OF view, but also
m elegant toilet soap.

field yesterday, land while I don't seek any
notoriesy, must say that the proposition
to put in wooden bottom and sides is neither
necessary, nor would it be sanitary re-
form. The wooden sides would rot and be
as bad as the sewage. There is no necessity
for any sides or false bottom, either of wood
or masonry, and there is no danger 60 be
appreheuded from the tide takiug out sand
to any appreciate extent.
"Bilbo canal on the east, and the Ogee-
chez canal on the west, properly managed,
would afford as good system of house
drainage as could be desired. Savannah is
on a ridge, and the canals are natural
drainage channels All that is wanted is to
flush them twice a day at high tide, and
open the flood gates at half tide AS it
is now the low tide carries the
sewage for miles up the river. This can
be obviated by the plan l mentioned, at
low cost, which can be put in operation be-
fore the hotweuther."
Alderman Reid, who represents the dis
trict through which the canal flows, said
yesterday that Maj. Wariield's plan seems
to be as practicable as it is simple, and he
favors adopting the suggestion.
