Soap


It is a wonderful soap
that takes hold quick and
does no harm.
No harm! 1t 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-
fectly made; the fat and al
kali not well balanced or not
combined.
What is good soap!
Pears.
All sorts of stores sell It,
specially druggists; all sorts
fpeople use it.

An AncCdofe of Dunn a..

Speaking of Alexandra Dumas, DR.. Ed
ward Pick says that his chief characteristic
was his utter disregard of money. He made
millions, but never had a franc ut His com
mand. For example, said he, upon one
occasion Dumas had invited company to
dinner, and finding tAat he did not stand
possessed of u single cent drove to "A friend 5
and asked him to loan him louis. This
his friend readily did, and as Dumas was
taking his leave suggested, as he had just
been getting some very fine pickles, he
would be glad TO give him IA jar to add to
his dinner The servant was sent for the
pickles, and when he put the jar in the car
riage, having no other change about him,
he dropped the ? louis in the mans ha nd, :"

Great and Small.

Aren't you dreadfully afraid, Kitty"
asked one young girl of another, around
whom she was eXctedly fluttering, giving
little pokes and witches to her draperies
and adjusting her flowers. Il don't see
how you can appear so calm. Why, I'm as
nervous as a witch! OF course it's interest
ing to meet distinguished people, and l
wouldn't miss it for anything. You know
how I've been looking forward to it for
weeks, but now the time has actually
come, I'm so frightened all / can think of
is that | wish / wasn't ashamed to run
away and hide in the cloak closet. What
can l find to say to II live great man? What
can he want TO say to me? We nobodies
will only be in the way when the somebod-
les come Let's pretend We're taken sud
denly i'll and go home"
Kitty laughed and shook her head. She
was older than the other, and usually the
shy one of the two, but for once the condi-
tons seemed reversed.
II think it's because of the somebodies
that I'm not afraid" she answered. You
know how timid l am in society usually.
Well the only time in my life 1 ever at
tended large reception and felt sufficient
ly self possessed to enjoy it was once when
the first person was introduced e Vas the

you know, and almost too Shy to look at
him for the first few moments, but he spoke
to me in such a way that presently found
myself answering quite naturally, and then
really talking, and then asking questions
and feeling quite at home He put me so
beautifully and simply at my ease that it was
impossible to be self conscious even after
he left me and / had to talk to others. l

Can Smoke on the Grounds.

Callow young men with cigarettes con-
cealed about their clothes have Stunned
Jackson park for weeks past. That was
because of the rule declaring to all that
Smoking Is Prohibited on These
Grounds" And the rule was well backed
up by the Columbian guards, SO that the
fair has SO far been the most successful
preventer of the tobacco habit on record.
But of late the rule has been relaxed to
the extent of allowing smoking in the Ad-
ministration building and in other offices.
Now comes the announcement that as
soon after May 1 as safety will permit
smoking will be allowed all over the
grounds and in all the buildings at the
fair, except in such apartments are 10y
the necessities of the case reserved for
other uses

That there should be necessity for argument
In favor Of a comprehensive system OF national
quarantine surprising. So long rs there Is
divided or disputed authority the interests Of
individuals and communities must suffer. and
this condition seems TO prevail in Philadelphia
just now The British steamer Elton had
case OF smallpox on board when ii reached the
city Of brotEeriy love and was placed in quar-
sntine for seven DAYS Capt. Campbell, writing
C his quarantine experiences. SAYS:
"An the crew have been laid up on account
Of exposure while being fumigated and through
the fumes of the sulphur. Seventeen Of them
are at present under the doctors care, seri-
ously i'll. with every chance of consumption set
ting in. ! never in all my travels witnessed
such brutality as practieed on us here. Had
We been dumb animals We would have received
better treatment The smallpox patient was
actually better when we reached the break
water than now. The haggling between the
national quarantine and the state board Of
health Is simply ridiculous
Surely there is something wrong with the
system under which the illness Of one man re-
suits in such serions conditions as Capt. Camp
bell complains Of
