Travellers on the European continent
know by experience that unless they take
soap in their travelling bags they will, in
all probability, have to make their toilet
without any. \ form OF soap which will
be appreciated by them is the soap paper,
brought out in France. The paper is cut
into pieces, slightly larger than visiting
cards, and is covered on each side with n
thin layer of ordinary soap or of soap vari-
ously colored and pcrfumcd. These soap
tickets are put into memorandum books,
cardcases or pocketbooks, just as If they
were business or visiting cards. Each
piece serves for one time only and is used
like an ordinary cake of soap. In the man
ufacture of this new product, sheets of UNI
sized paper are immersed in bath Of CO.
coanut oil soap prepared in the same way
as for the manufacture of toilet soaps. The
strips Of paper are dried, passed between
two rollers, in order TO render them smooth
and slightly, and then cut to the proper
dimensions and stamped with any desired
mark. -Louisville Courier journal.

How to overcome this without

TEO VICTORIES.

There is y time when Sorrow comes,
" Ith clash of spears and roll of drumR
When he who mourns may find relief
To wear the panoply of grief;
To drag his trouble into light
And give 1t fair and honest fight.
A hero tried and true is he
Who strives and wins such victoryl
There is time when Sorrow creeps
Within the heart and sits and weeps
From dawn till dusk. We live, we smile,
Yet hear her sobbing ell the while.
Oh, the duh aching In the breast
OF grief denied and unconfessedl
A saint uncrowned, martyr he,
Who bears such trouble manfully!
