Pears
Soap

Why is Pears Soap-the
best in the world, the soap
with no free alkali in it
sold for IS cents a cake?
1t was made for a hospital
soap in the first. place, made
by request; the doctors
wanted a soap that would
wash as sharp as any and
do no harm to the skin.
That means a soap all
soap, with no free alkali in
it, nothing but soap; there
is nothing mysterious in it.
Cost depends on quantity !;
quantity comes of quality.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists; all
sorts of people use it, espe-
clally those that know what's
what.

Infant Prodigies.

Infant prodigies of any kind, musical,
theatrical or literary, are always of more
interest to their immediate surroundings
than to the world at large. We all know
the opinion that was secretly held by the
Crummles company with regard to the
"Infant Phenomenon" How many fond
parents there are of the Crummles type,
who sacrifice their friends and their inter
ests to the worship of their prodigious in
FAINT! The baby reciter is terror to the
acquaintance of its fond proprietors. The
only people, one would think, who could
take an interest in such painful exhibit
tions would be rival proprietors, who have
a prodigy of their own at home.
At this moment there are sandwich men
straying about the streets of London who
announce as the chief attraction of popu-
lar entertainment the recitation of "The
Seven Ages of Man." by Miss So-and-so,
LACED seven" Doubtless there are many
mothers who will be glad to compare this
baby with the one they themselves have
taught; but outside these misguided par
ents who could be so perverse as to take
pleasure in the lisping of that we'll known
soliloquy? The world is curiously con-
stituted and most unaccountable in its
tastes, but we should hardly think it pre-
ferred it's Shakespeare from the mouths Of
babes.-London Spectator.

Kiplinc,s Story of an interview.

An Australian paper said very humor
ously, "Rudyard Kipling landed on this
island at 10 o'clock and at 1915 he hao
formulated an Australian policy"
eyes, that is very funny" said Kipling
but it is not true. This is how'it was: A
young reporter cornered me just after
had landed. | treated him kindly, but
said firmly that l was not to be inter
viewed
81 have no thought of interviewing
you,' replied the reporter with touch o
sadness in his voice. L ask much great
err favor than that"
1t turned out that the reporter was
man with theory who had been persist
emily sat down upon by his superiors oil
the press. He had an Australian polio!
that he knew would be of the creates
benefit to the country. No paper would
print it. His modest request was tina
Kipling would let him put forth his theor.
as the scheme of the young novelist
"They will print it," he said, ''if give i
as coming from YOU"
"All right" agreed Kipling, "fir
ahead"
So the young reporter got in four morta
columns telling the people of Australi;
how to run their country.
81 never read the article" continued
Kipling, "but there must have been SOM
amazing theories in it, from the storm i
raised. l hope that young man realize
my forbearance in standing all the un
merited abuse heaped upon me for it,

A Plucky GREYHOUND.

A circumstance which should say was
IN uncommon one in the annals of shikal
happened the other day. A gentleman
while out shooting in the Eastern Dun il
a canebrake started leopard and cub
Among his dogs which were beating was
a powerful English greyhound. This dog
drove off the leopard and killed the cub
This same dog also killed a very powerful
lungoor (gray monkey, one of the largest
size, standing fully 8 feet 9 inches or :
feet.
One of the spaniels had cut this lungool
off from the tree for which it was making
and it turned upon the dog and bit it il
the neck very severely, it's tusks being as
large as small leopard's. 1t then tried
to strangle the dog, when the greyhound
came to the rescue 1t caught the lungool
by the nape of the neck and with ONT
crunch killed it.-Asian.

In Marianne North's "Recollections of a
Happy Life" is description of a tame
snake.
Its mistress would sometimes twist the
pretty bronze creature in the great plat OF
hair she wore around her head, and once
threatened to go down thus decorated to a
dinner party of rather stiff people.
But one of the snakes own eccentricities
serves to distinguish it among all other
reptiles of similar nature which have
served as pets.
1t was as fond of glittering things as its
mistress herself, and when she took off her
many rings and placed them on different
parts of the table it would go about col
Letting them and stringing them on its
1.-THE body. Then it would tie itself in q
knot, so that the rings could not be taken

A Dumb Excuse.

A rich gentleman purchased parrot of q
bird fancier in rather low quarter OF
London. The man warranted the bird to
be splendid talker, but though the gen.
tleman kept it for months it never made
any sound approaching the semblance of a
word. The gentleman called ON the bird
fancier and asked him how he accounted
for it.
"Well, sir" said that worthy, Eyer see,
that there bird was brought up in my

lightning as a Photographers.

On examining the field glasses used al
the observatory on Mount Arle, situated
near the summer resorts, West Baden and
French Lick, it was found that one of the
field glasses had an impression of flowers
in both lenses, like a negative. 1t must
have been caused by lightning, as the
glass was left on the upper platform of the
observatory and the impression is of such
flowers as are growing on Mount Arle
The quality of the glass is not impaired at
all, though the impression seems to &c
clear through the lenses. Mr.. Buerk, the
proprietor of the observatory, cannot &C
count for this freak of lightning otherwise
than the electric action on the flowers and
lenses.-Louisville Courier-J ournal.
