The habit Of using sand and clay as
part of mans regular food appears to
be more widespread than is generally
supposed. 1t was long understood to
be confined to q tribe of Indians on
the OrinocO, the OFT omacs, among
who ~ during the two Or three months
in which their game supply is cut off
by floods, each person is said to
consume about five ounces daily of a
fac unctuous clay. The Indians of
the Bolivian plateaus use similar
earth, mixed with sand; and the prac
tice is also found in many islands of
the West Indies. A number of the
African tribes are earth eaters, as
were some of their representatives
il America in slavery days. The ma
tives of New Caledonia may almost
be called rock eaters, stalactitic
crusts appearing to be a favorite dain
ty. In Persia earth is lar gely eaten
as an aid to digestion instead of as a
food. In Scandinavia and Germany
are many earth eaters, and in certain
mountain quarries the workmen
spread "stone BUTTER" consisting
Of kind of clay, on their bread. The
habit seems to be most prevalent in
tropical regions, and more SO in wo-
men than in men. 1t is known that
certain animals = such as the wolf,
reindeer and stag,-have the appetite
for earth food Exchange.

TWO THOUGHTFUL WOMEN.

TWO THOUGHTFUL WOMEN.
 We have received two notable communi- cations, both from women. One woman writes to us suggesting that the women who attend "the Gounod" next Tuesday evening do not wear hats, or if they do that they remove them during the concert. And another woman writes to us that she Is not going to wear hat on that occasion. Here we have both precept and example, and we hasten to place them before the other women who have not yet decided what to say or do about the matter.
 The concert will be a memorable enc musically. Why should it not be made memorable through the eye as we'll as through the earl What pleasing thing 1t would be If those who attend 1t could have a view of tho peopled stage unobstructed by artificial flower gardens, bobbing feath- CT clusters, Dutch windmills and Chinese junk sails. What serene and unmitigated enjoyment of the music could be had If Its hearers were not obliged to turn aside from their souls and swear because they could not be seers ss we'll ss hearers. And how appropriate 1t would be if the noble and eacred music which Is to be given could address itself to calm minds and peaceful hearts, made 80 by the Christian courtesy of women willing to sit for 6 couple of hours without their hats in order to in-' crease enjoyment. promote good feeling and improve morality.
 The fact that two noble women have written to us about this important matter indicates that there is some thought about it among those who can, If they will, make the concert as highly moral as it will be musical. It is to be hoped that the lsaven will continue to work and. work power fully. A womsn's hair is glorious wherever it is exhibited, but a woman's hat, which may be glorious in a milliner's shop or when worn in some places, is not glorious when worn directly in front of the esger eyes of somebody who has paid dollar and balf for the privilege of trying to look through 1t or around 1t. Perhaps 1t would bs wise for the managers of "the Gounod" to announce that 1t Is expected that only bald headed women will be ex- pected to wear hats next Tuesday evening.

WAL TING.

Tho Boston Journal has one eye on New Haven, and 1t asks why such work as that which has been done here In behalf of law and order by the Rev. Dr. Smyth Is left for volunteer energy. It is evident thst the Journal doesn't understand the situs- tion. It doesn't know that our Board of Police Commissioners has been going to do the things that Dr. Smyth has done just as soon as 1t could get euEoient "proof" to satisfy itself that they needed doing. The Board has only been waiting for "the proot" to come along and lay itself down on its table and invite attention to itself in 8 way that couldn't pos sibly bs unnoticed. It hasn't done that yet and because 1t hasn't the Police commissioners feel that they haven't been treated with that distinguished court esy to which they are entitled. "The proof" certainly appears to have ubbed them. It appears to have gone right by their room and laid iteslf on Dr. Smyth's table and clamored for notice until 1t got 1t. Possibly 1t was courteous enough to knock at the door of the Police commissioners, but If 1t did its knock re oeived no response. Perhaps the buzzing of the "busted" deals obscured its sound and convinced 1t that 1t would be bstter to go on and knock at some other door. But the Police commissioners don't believe 1t. They think that "the proof" has not been courteous. So they are waiting until 1t Is. And they are so disgusted with Its seeming diecourtesy that they won't have anything to do with 1t until 1t appears before them with proper apologies. And they go fur ther. They blame Dr. Smyth for noticing it. They don't know why 8 private indi- vidusl should show hospitality to "proof" that for any reason pss.sd them by. Therefore they challenge the doctor to tell them again how he came to doit. not being entirely satisied that he was in his right mind when he did 1t. And they are wait ing for him to spologizs for his hospitality to "the proof" and for "the proof" to apologize to them for Its failure to wait on them until they got ready to notice 1t.
 And unless they get both to apologize they
 will perhaps decline to further notice
 either Dr. Smyth or the proof.

Pure soap IS white. Brown soaps are adulterated with Rosin. Perfume is only put in washing soap to hide the odor of decayipg animal fat, or Soap grease" Washing pow ders are strong alkalies and ru- in clothes washed with them. The purest soap obtainable is the best and cheapest. Dob- bins Electric Soap is pure, white, unscented, unadulter- ated, and has been acknow- ledged ever since 1869 to be the only PURE family soap made.
