Our lady readers will be interested to
know something concerning the great sales
of Santa Claus Soap. The manufacturers,
N. X. Fairbank & Co., are justly entitled to
rank among the great advertisers of the
United States, and are counted among the
most liberal patrons of printers ink in this
country.
The Fairbank Company is particularly
friendly to newspapers as offering the most
legitimate means OF advertising and natural
ly all papers are friendly to Santa Claus
Soap.
1t cannot be said, as i'm the case Of some
advertisers, that Fairbank has made Santa
Claus famous, but it does seem correct to
say that Santa Claus has made Fairbank
famous,
Santa Claus has been of course, for time
out of mind, household word. 1t was a
happy thought when the Fairbank Company
seized upon this hOme-like and familiar
name for their very best laundry soap.
Naturally enough the quality of the
lsOap has had much to do with its sue
cess, for not even the most cXtravagant ad-
vertising could make a success of a poor
article. On the other hand there have been
so many poor soaps put upon the markets
the past few years. that in the beginning
many purchasers hesitated to try another
new candidate for favor at the wash-tub.
Fairbank & Co., are live, wde-awalSe
business men. and they knew just how good
housekeepers felt OH the soap question. So
they not only get about to manufacture the
very best soap that could be made, but they
'inaugurRted a most earnest and honest
system of advertising. No flakes" or
"sctemes" have been employed to intro
duce "Santa Claus" Soap on the market.
The brand was brought into notice by
straightforward and legitimate methods, and
has constantly gained in public favor be-
cause of the excellence of the article itself
The manufacturers can congratulate them
selves upon such success. We are in
formed that the sales of Santa Claus Soap
have increased enormously this year, and
far above the average rate. No doubt a
great share of the increase in this neighbor-
hood is due to the fact that Santa Claus Soap
has been we'll advertised In these columns.

Judge Cooley Resigns.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1U.-The follow
ing letter from Judge Cooley, just re-
ceiyed here, embodies his reasons for re-
signing his position as chairman of the
interstate commission:
ANN ARBoR, Sept. 4, 1891.
q. A. Moseley, Secretary, ETC.:
MY DEAR SIRlI have had within the
last few days quite a serious relapse,
which, though 1 have in some degree re-
covered from it, 1 think renders it impera-
tive that l should resign my commission
as interstate commerce commissioner, and
l have therefore sent my resignation to
the president. l regret very greatly the
necessity Of withdrawing from the com
mission, but l feel that my duty to the
public, as well as to myself under the cir
cumstances, demands it. I shall ever
cherish with the liveliest sentiments of af-
lection and respect the recollections of my
association with you while my connection
with the commission continued. Very re-
spectfully yours, THOMAS NJ. COOLEY.

SO soon after General Bragg's death,

Mutiiat!oHa.

That mutilation should ever have
been adopted as a penalty by the
Christian church one finds it difficult
to believe, yet the ecclesiastical au-
thorities inflicted it for comparatively
trivial %offenses, and several councils
emphatically attempted to suppress it.
Thus the thirteenth canon of the
Council of Merida, in 666, deprived
bishops and priests of the right of
mutilating the servants of the church.
The sixth canon OF the Council of To-
ledo. in 675, while f%orbidding bishops
to exercise exclusive Jurisdiction in
oifenses involving the capital penalty,
also interdicted them from ordering
mutilation of the limbs even in the
case of their own serfsi and ordained
that bishops violating this law should
be deposed. communicated and de-
MED the last rites OF the church when

BUFFALO, Sept. l5.-A wonderful
feat of rallroading was accomplished by
the New York Central road-a feat
that eclipses everything ever accom-
plished in the line of rapid travelling.
The recordsfo o long distance running
was not only broken, but left way out
Of sight. It has been demonstrated
that p train a not only make sixty
miles IN hour, but can keep it up fol
$40 miles. The train that arrived at
East Buffalo. at 2 o'clock som 54s, left
the Grand Central depot, New York, at
1880. 1t made the run including three
stops in AN minutes, the distances Al
miles. The stops were made
Syracuse, Albany and Fairport-at tN
two former places to change enginS
and at Fairport to take water and to
cool off a hot journal on the engine.
The Syracuse and Albany stops were
three and one.half minutes each, and
the Fairport stop seven minutes. De-
Quoting the time lost, the actual run-
ming time was 426 minutes. The train
consisted of three heavy passenger cars,
drawn by the company's new standard
passenger locomotives. The fastest
mile was made in ~ seconds. The
best previous long distance run on
record was made by the Scotch mail.

+. S. Cox, who lives on the south side
OF the Cheyenne, just above the mouth
Of Cascade, brought in what he consld-
crs IL fair average OF his corn this year.
He raised two varieties, the early dent
and a Nebraska flint. The longest ears
OF flint will measur about twelve inches
while the dent is not SO long. Both
varieties were planted the 25th day OF
May and were picked August 29-three
months and four days after the seed
was planted. The corn is well matured
and very large, deep kernels and small
cob, and Judging from the samples would
yield about forty bushels to the acre.

WHOLE TOWNS WIPED OUT

.
And Millions of Property Destroyed By
Earthquake.
SAN SALVADOR (via Galveston), Sept.
10.-Millions of dollars worth Of prop
erty and many lives were destroyed in
this republic by an earthquake. Whole
towns were wiped out and so far as ad-
vices received here indicate, hardly a
city in the country, except those along
the coast, have escaped the awful effects
of the CONFUSION.
There have been indications for sew
eral days past that a seismic disturbance
of more than usual power might be ex-
pected. The volcanoes Of San Saliva
dor, San Miguel and Iz.lco have been
unusually active and deep subterranean
rumbllngs and slight earth tremors
have been felt. At 2 a. m. the earth be-
gan to shake. The wave had a strong
vertical and oscillatory movement. Peo-
pie rushed into the streets in their night
clothing and while the shock lasted only
twenty seconds, before it had passed
away there was a panic stricken mob
making its way to the open country out
side of the city. The scene was terri.
bly sublime. Men, women and chill
dren were shrieking and praying in the
streets, while walls of houses cracked,
tottered and fell.
There was a deep, continuous rumb-
ling, as of heavy thunder. The sky was
overcast and the air vas filled with a
fine, penetrating dust. While the shock
lasted she earth rose and fell in long
waves, and strong men were unable to
keep their feet. The panic-stricken
people focked to the open ground out
side Of the city. Temporary shelters
were thrown up wherever possible, BIZ
nearly all the men and a great many
tho women and children had only t
sky for a v
All through the morning there have
been slight shocks, but none approach
ing in intensity that which had been SO
destructive. The inhabitants are afraid
to return to their houses and are max
ing themselves as comfortable as posi-
BILE in their temporary camps until the
commotion subsidies.
President Ezeta is doing everything
he canto stop the panic and care for
the homeless people until it is consid-
cred safe for them to get back to their
homes. The towns throughout the
country have suffered more severely
than the capital even. Analquito and
Comasagna have been completely des-
troyed. Cojutepezue, Santucla, San
Pedro and Masahuet were so badly sha-
ken that they are practically ruined,
while the shock was plainly felt at San
tn Ana and Susimtepeque, fully sixty
miles from here.

The First spoons.

The palm of the hand was the spoon
OF primitive man; then came the reign
of the shell from sea-shore. But, while
in ancient Rome and Greece and on
the banks of the Nile the spoon was
fourishing, the shell, modified by the
addition of a tiny handle, was still tho
highest form OF spoon this side of the
Alps even in the fifteenth century.
Gradually the handle grew, become
flatter and shapely, and, when
Louis XIV. reigned over France. the
modern silver spoon. with dainty deco
rations. had become obligatory.-Sat-

ORIGIN Of tho Menu.

A German gastronomical publica-
ton gives the following account OF
tho origin of the menu: At the meet
ing of electors in Regensburg in tho
year 1889 Elector Henry, of Braun
schweig, attracted general notice az u
state dinner. He had a long paper
before him to which he referred every
time before he ordered a dish. The
earl of Montfort who sat near him,
asked him what he was reading. The
elector silently handed the paper to
his interrogation. 1t contained a list
OF the viands prepared for the occa-
sion, which the eIector had ordered
the cook to write out for him. The
idea of having such a list SO pleased
the illustrious assembly that they in
troduced it each in his own household,
and since that time the fashion Of hav-
ing a menu has spread all over the
civilized world.
