Effective Soap.

The children's toboggan slide is
quite All institution in a certain nur-
sery. 1t il an old ironing board, a
good wide one, and when it's end is
tipped up on chair it furnishes all
kinds Of amusement to the small
owners.
The other day the children discov-
cred a new joy in the ironing board.
They placed it fat upon the floor.
Then they snuggled piece of soap
from the bathroom and soaped the
board well from end to end. 1t made
famous slide
The three boys and the girl, who is
the widest boy of the four, gave
themselves plenty of room to run.
and the board was long enough to
make good slide.
One after the other then ran. The
chase grew exciting. Finally Alice,
taking her turn came with a rush
down the hall and across the board
The impetus was too much. Her
heels flew up and she came down
hard, very hard.
She gathered herself together with
a bewildered look on her face. Then
she stood up slowly.
Dear meW she said; II didn't
know soap was SO effectivep-New

We need a good breath purifier
ready at all times. for an offensive
breath is always disagreeable to the
fossessor and to those assotiating
with him. If the offensive breath
comes from poor teeth have them
filed or extracted, and then cleanse
them twice day. But the stomach
IL the most frequent source OF com
plant This can be remedied by the
use Of charcoal, either taken in the
form of tablet or powder. Charcoal
Is the best purifier that we have, and
It yweetens the stomach as well as
counteracting the bad odor Of the
breath. This should be taken when.
ever the breath is offensive from in
digestion. This purifies, but 1t does
not perfume the breath.
Many of the so called breath puri-
fiels simply saturate the mouth and
throat with perfumery, which is so
much stronger than the offensive
odor that you can only smell the per
fumes. This is not the proper way
to make the breath clean and sweet.
Mixed odors are never good. But
after taking a little charcoal, a harm
less perfumery may be taken to give
sweet. clean odor to the breath.
Mix together thoroughly a little
lemon juice, sugar, almond oil and
rosewater. and stir it in fresh egg.
If this is beaten up and stirred II
makes a fine perfume for the breath.
It Is harmless also. Yankee Blade.

Hotels with Foreign Names.

The cosmopolitan character of New
York is signally illustrated by the
names of its hotels and the business
signs on the business streets. Out of
ninety three hotels in this city, thir-
ty-nine have distinctively foreign
names, the remainder being named
after the localities in which they are
situated, or the men who own OF
lease them. and in a few instances
after some American historical per
sonage. One of the great hostelries
is named after the Holland House, in
London. There is an "Impelial" ho-
tel and a Royal" hotel The Vic
tolia," the Albert" the "Albe-
marie" the Bristol, the "Bucking-
ham," the Windsor" the Cam

ropole,' the "Normandie," the

"St. Marc, the "St. James" and the
Westminster" are all suggestive OF
foreign localities and names. New

An Irishman's wit.

A short time ago two Americans on a
visit TO ireland hired boatman for the
purpose of having u sail. One Of the
Yankees, thinking he would have a joke
at Pats expense, asked him II he knew
anything about astrology.
"Be jabers, no, said Pat.
"Then that's the best part Of your life
Just LOST answered the Yankee.
The second American then asked Pat
If he knew anything about theology.
"Be jabers, no." again answered Pat.
well, just guess that's the very best
part of your life lost" said the second
Yankee.
A few minutes later the boat capsized
and Pat began TO swim. The Yankees,
however, could not swim, and both
called loudly TO Pat 10 help them.
"Do you know anything Of swimolo-
gyT' asked Pat
mo" answered both Yankees.
"Well, be jabers," replied Pat, "ther
both OF your lives Is lost. "--London Spare

The tendency of this disease to-

is famous for its cures of severe colds.
This remedy effectually counter
acts the tendency Of the disease to

proper care be taken to avoid ex-
posure when recovering from the at
