It is a wonderful soap
that takes hold quick and
does no harm.
No harm! It leaves the
skin soft like a baby's; no
alkali in it, nothing but soap.
The harm is done by al
kali. Still more harm is done
by not washing. So, bad
soap is better than none.
WHAT'S bad soap? Imper-

What is good soap?

There is quite pathetic story con-
nected with this curious violin, in
which old Seth's peculiar notion of
turning his mules head into q musical
instrument is accounted for. Accord
ing to relatives of the old hunter who
still live in Tazewell county, ILL.,, and
from whom many incidents OF his re-
markable career are learned. he was
considerable of a violinist and per-
formed many strange and difficult feats
with the instrument, playing with the
violin held behind his back or across
his shoulders fully as well as in the
natural position. During his spare mo-
ments he was very fond of playing the
old tunes of his boyhood and such
pieces as The Arkansaw Traveller" at
which he was especially expert. always
including the conversational part of
the piece with great gusto, and ''Old
Dan Tucker" which ne also rendered,

Coming under this head is collection
of curious articles displayed in the
Humboldt section of the California
building, one of the most extensive and
imposing state structures at the fair,
around which cluster memories of some
of the grand men WHO have been at the
head of this glorious nation.
This collection is composed of the
belongings of Seth Kinman, the great
California hunter and trapper, who was
known during the later years of his life
as the presenter of elk-horn chairs to
the presidents of the United States, and
who was widely known as being one OF
the most unique characters this conn
try has ever produced Among the
articles in the collection are some OF
the beautiful and ingeniously con-
structed chairs which were made for
several of the presidents by the old
hunter from the horns of animals he
had slain III the wilds of the western
mountains.
There is the Garfield chair, fashioned
in very szillful manner from the ant
lers of ar enormous elk, which. owing
to the sudden and deploraole death of
the president at the hands of de-
mented assassin, was never presented.
And there is also the johnson chair or
Bear chair, constructed of the hide,
head and paws of monster grizzly.
Thapaws. with their enormous claws.
form the feet of the chair, and the
hide, with the hairy side out, covers it
throughout. The head is arranged in
very life-like manner beneath the
seat in such way that when the seat
is pressed it springs forward in q very
startling fashion. There is besides a
queer looking chair made from the
larger bones of a whale, obtained by
old Seth. as he was wont to be called,
from the Indians of Alaska. among
whom he spent some years OF his early
western career. This chair is a plain
and unattractive affair. but bears evil
dence of the marvellous mechanical
skill of its eccentric maker. In addi-
ton to these historic chairs and a
large variety of Indian implements
there is one of the queerest violins that
ever was made. It was fashioned from
the skull of musical mule that was
the close companion of the old hunter
for many years. 1t is indeed a rare in
strument, and it has been coveted by
parties in England who have offered
large sums for it, but without effect
