Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues of soap; this one
is enough. You can trust
a soap that has no biting
alkali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists
all sorts of people use it.

THE COCKRoACH PEST.

Cockroaches are somewhat OF nui-
,ance when they become too numerous
about house, but they are at the same
time useful In destroying bedbugs,
especially in ships aud in the tenements
Of our large cities. Thore are several
species known under the general name
Of cockroach, but perhaps the most COM
mon is the Blatta orientalis, native Of
the East Indies, but now pretty we'll dis
tributed over the world, and perhaps
this is the one Of which you complain,
but we are not certain in the absence Of
specimens. In the Oriental cockroach
the females have only rudimentary wings,
end those of the males are slightly
shorter than the body. This species
may be destroyed by placing phosphorus
paste in their hiding places or in the
rooms frcqucnted by them at night. A
good way to wage war upon this pest is
to put little of the paste on bits OF
paper and lay these about the room
whore the roaches are most abundant
and late in the evening, after the family
hayc retired. Then let some one get up
early aud gather up the poison and sweep
up the dead cockroaches which will be
found lying about on the floor. The
Kitchen is the room usually most fire.
quented by the reaches; consequently is
| the best ono in which to poison them.
Repeat the operation rs long q, any dead
cockroaches are to be found. As the
young reaches will be Matching out as
long as there are any eggs left, it will be
necessary to use little poison once a
week for month or longer. We have
known badly infested houses to be en-
tirely cleared of these pests by the use
of phosphorus paste in the way we haVa
described. Most druggists keep this
paste on sale, for it is largely used iol
destroying rats, mice aud other vermin.

The trouble was caused by the killing

sheep out. The Indian sent his squaw

While this was being done, Smith, very
much enraged, commenced iiriug on the

wounded Others. The Indian retaliated
by firing into Smiths cattle. This SC

markable thing in connection with the
monstrosity Is that both father ard

a lad Of about fourteen, was employed
to do this work, and, getting tired o
its monotony, he began thinking how h,
could make the engine do it for him
He hit upon tho idea of connecting th,
cocks with the moving beam of the engin,
by means Of strings attached to the lev
ers which opened and shut them. III
ingenuously called this device "the Scoy
