Soap

To keep the skin clean
is to wash the excretions
from it off; the skin takes
care of itself inside, if not
blocked outside.
To wash it often and
clean, without doing any
sort of violence to it, re-
quires a most gentle soap,
a soap with no free al
kali in it.
Pears is supposed to
be the only soap in the
world that has no alkali
in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

Boneless Shad.

D. E. Crawford, of the United States fish
commission, recently said:
We have little doubt now that before two
more years we shall have evolved what the
seaboard public has been clamoring for for
SO many years-the homeless shad. OF
course l don't mean a shad that is actually
homeless, but one that will be to all intents
and purposes as homeless as the founders
of this country or the sole of England.
This will have been accomplished by the
cross breeding of the shad, the founder
and a peculiar, edible jelly fish which is a
staple food among the sea coast natives of
Japan. The commission had much diff
Guilty in securing a supply of these jelly
fishes in a healthy, living condition, but at
last managed to bring about LOO of them
to San Francisco and thence to the Chesa.
peake bay hatchery in tank cars. They
have thrived amazingly, and our expert
ments, while at first rather discouraging,
now leave but little doubt of turning out
successful.
At first the crossing resulted in the pro-
duction of a lot of jellyishes with an elab-
crate outfit of bones, which was just what
we didn't want, but time and study showed
us our mistakes, and now we have a few
hundred half grown shad with less than IS
per cent. as many bones as the ordinary
sort. Yes, as you say, science is a remark
able thing,

the contract awarded. The monument
will consist of a granite base sixteen
feet square at the ground, gradually
diminishing by a series of steps to a highly
ornate square pedestal eleven feet high,
above which rises a shaft surmounted by
a decorative cap supporting an s-foot
bronze figure of a Confederate soldier.
This figure represents an infantryman at
Appomattox. He stands bareheaded and
disarmed, his empty canteen and haver-
sack on his right hip, his arms folded and
his right hand grasping his broad brimmed
hat.
The whole will be ~forty-six
feet high. On the four sides of the pedes-
tai there will be inserted bronze panels
representing, respectively, "The Seal of
the Confederacy," "The Call to Arms"
"The Lost Cause" ''The Eternal Sleep"
The four corners of the die are broken into
groups of polished granite columns with
fiat Romanesque capitals. Just below the
die, in raised letters of polished granite, is
the inscription, Confederate Dead"
The contract calls for the delivery of the
completed monument ready for unwilling
July l, 1893, although the exact date for
that ceremony has not yet been fixed. It
will take place during the month of July,
however, and will no doubt be the occasion
of the assembling of many thousands of
the "boys in gray"

LATTE and His Men.

The ~freebooters commanded by the IA
nous Lafitte, who terrorized the Gulf Of
Mexico for several years subsequent to
1905, called themselves subjects of the
republic under the flag of which they
sailed. They elected one freebooter
Judge of the admiralty" another lad
ministrator of the revenue" a third
secretary of the public treasury" a
fourth marine commandment" and so IN.
But Lafitte vas king, and his word was
law. The man who held the high sound
ing Office of Judge of the admiralty" had
occasion, years a%fterward, to make a state
ment about this colony. 1t vas to the
effect that ''the sole view and object of
the persons comprising the colony was to
capture Spanish vessels and property,
without any idea of aiding the revolution
in Mexico or that of any other of the re-
volted Spanish colonies" The island went
by the name of Snake island, because of
the number of serpents.

England is the greatest free trade
country in the world. The women in
the picture are English. and the illustra-
ton indicates the condition of women in
a free trade country. The United States
is the example of a protected country.
Women do not wheel coal in the United
States. The Democratic party, if Grover
Cleveland should be elected, will seek to
bring about free trade; they admit it.
The issue in this campaign is the Ameri-

miniscences is that GENERAL E. S. PARKER.
his account of the famous interview at APP
pomattox differs materially from that of
General Grant. The latter says that Gen
eral Lee was startled at the appearance Of
the Indian, supposing at first that he was
a mulatto; but General Parker adds that
General Lees face flushed with indigna-
ton, and that it seemed to him (Parker)
that the negotiations were very likely to
be broken off abruptly. General Lee evil
IDENTIFY thought that q mulatto had been
called on to do the writing as a g~ratuitous
affront.
OF the 100000 Indians in the United
States about 5000 are in New York state
viz, Seneca, $500; Onondaga, 400; Tusca-
lora, 400; Mohawks, Is; Cayuga, Is; strag-
Cling Mohawks, 200, with others unac-
counted for. There is much difference of
opinion as to their progress and capacity.
General Parker is a Seneca, and as at the
beginning Of the war it was thought we'll
to recognize that race he was encouraged to
apply for a commission. He asked to be ap-
pointed as an engineer, but was refused, and
went home greatly disappointed. A few
weeks later he was surprised to receive a
commission as adjutant from Secretary
Don Cameron. He Immediately started for
Washington and was assigned to General
Grants staff. General Parker and Cen
eral Grant were very close friends all dur

private secretary. 1t was his duty to write
all General Grants dispatches to staff Off
GERS and to the government. and they be-
came such warm friends that when Gen
eral Grant became president he appointed
General Parker commissioner of Indian
affairs.

SEBASTIAN KNEIPP. and Father Sebas-
tian Kneipp is its prophet, priest and ply
sician.
Father Kneipp has been parish priest of
Worishofen for thirty.seven years, but has
practiced his system of hydropathy ever
since 1S4S, although it is only during the
last ten years that he has attained among
his cOuntrymen such wonderful celebrity.
Surrounded often by seven or eight doc
tors. he gives audiences every morning
from $50 to IL and in the afternoon from
l:3O to 4, and afterward delivering his
sprachstunden to an immense crowd await
ing him at the door of the kurhaus, and
who sometimes have to wait three hours
before they can obtain this desired inter-
view. During the last year the names in
his visitors book amounted to II, 45O, and
including those treated by letter he seems
to have had about 10000 patients. The
village is simply crowded with the lame,
the sick and the disfigured, most of the
latter being victims of the skin disease
called lupus, and if any reliance can be
placed on human testimony he has cured
very many and brings relief to nearly all.
In his youth Father Kneipp, the son of a
weaver, was so sickly that no hopes were
entertained of rearing him, and he was
allowed all the liberty of ~nature-turned
out to die, as it were. The simple rem
e!dies in use among the peasant women
helped him much, and the rest he discov-
cred for himself. The special features of
his method are short baths of cold water,
the garments being put on Immediately
after the bath and without drying the
skin, walking in early morning in the
dewy grass barefooted or with light san
dals on, dipping the feet in cold water and
wearing a coarse linen shirt next the skin.
Faith is called in to a slight extent.
Simple remedies concocted from herbs are
prescribed. OF course regular habits are
insisted upon, and great reliance is had on

A Novel Worlds Fair Display.

There will be sent to the exposition at
Chicago a most beautiful model of the
Island of st. Thomas, Danish West Indies.
1t is now being constructed on that island
by DR.. Charles E. Taylor and his son
Clarence, is about 8 by 4 feet, built to a
scale of six inches to the mile, and will be
painted in natural colors, showing the
roads, country houses, ships and steamers
in the harbor and the pretty town of Char
lotte Amalia, with it's two old legendary
towers of Blackboard and Bluebeard. 1t
will be set into a table enameled in black,
edged with gold, with terra Gotta paintings
by Mr.. Clarence Taylor of various spots of
interest on the island. The whole will be
covered with plate glass.

Prisoners Revolt,

Boston, Oct. GA serious outbreak
occurred in the House of Correction
about 3 o'clock this morning. One
officer and one prisoner were badly but
not seriously injured. The trouble
arose from four prisoners being denied
the privileges of the yard. This caused
such feeling among the other prisoners
that some of them rose in revolt and re-
fused to go to work, and with shears.
chairs, h%atirons and all other articles
belonging to a tailor shop, seriously
assaulted the officers in charge. The
police were quickly summoned and the
revolt put down.

The Political Situation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. - Dispatches
have been received here from non-par.
tlsan sources showing the political
situation in some of the more important
states. In view of the fact that these
dispatches were prepared from a news
point of view, instead of to create politi-
cal sentiment, they must necessarily be
considered al giving the situation as it
now really exists.
New York, of course, is doubtful as
ever.
Indiana was considered safe for Harri
son more than a week ago. His plurality
in that state will not fall below 5000.
The outcome in Connecticut is consid-
cred doubtful and in West Virginia also.
The report from Missouri indicates
that the Cleveland electors will win and
that Warner, republican candidate for
governor, is almost certain of election.
From $1,000 to $4,000 is considered a
fair estimate of the republican plurality
in Illinois.
yhe demo cratic managers in Ohio
concede that state to Harrison by a fair
plurality.
The outcome in Kansas cannot be pre-
dicted, but it is believed that the repub
llcans will secure a victory there.

morning. They we're beautiful and i'm

thirty minutes.

neighborhood of the depot. Fully 50,-

the streets leading to the First Presby-

held. The inside of the house of worship
was beautifully decorated, and services
we're of the greatest simplicity. As the
coffin was carried up the aisle and de-
posted in front of the chancel the organ
pealed forth a sad melody. The choir
then sang "Lead Kindly Light" with
beautiful effect, and DR.. Haines offered
a short invocation and read a selection
from the Scriptures.
