REASONS WHY it SHOULD BE ADOPTED.
L. Simplicity, cheapness and ease of prep
aration.
Q. Economy, as much less soap is required
to do the same amount OF washing and cleans
ing, and yet do it more perfectly.
3. Your clothes will last much longer, and
il does away with all the hard rubbing on
the washboard.
4. Any kind of water can be used hard
or soft, warm or cold.
s No necessity for boiling clothes, thereby
avoiding the expense of fuel aud the un-
pleasantness of heat in summer, and the I'M
healthy necessity of iuhaing steam arising
from the washtub in winter
6 Yarns, iannels or silks can be washed
without fulling or hardening them goods
that fade can be washed and their color re-
tanned.
{. II is admitted TO be the best mode of
washing bed clothes ever discovered
s. 1t will remove grease spots from clothes
or fabrics Of anv kind with cold water, and
il is ai4o of great value to grocervmen, as
grease can be removed from cans, buckets,
and all kinds OF vessels by simply using cold
water
g. II is indispensable in all machine shops,
as all grease, paints, &c, ca n be easily washed
off with cold water, and il is OF great value
10 all motel ana restaurant keepers, &c, as
all tableware, cook-vessels, &C., can be per-
tectly cles nsed with cold water, and for all
kinds of house cleaning il has no equal for
scrubbing and cleaning paints, &C., on wood
or metal.
Family and District Rights for Sale.
This is the beat selling enterprise to be
found anywhere, The supply and demand
govern the value of patents aud enterprises,
and in this case the supply is inexhaustable
and the demand universal, as soap is an srti-
Gle that is indispensable and OF every day use
! BOONE, Iowa, August I, lsSs.--li gives
me pleasure 10 say on testing Thomas A Ka-
sey's New Process for washing that il is n

HAD TO DEFEND HIMSELF.
Mulatto Resents an Insult from an
lmportunate Baggar.

About as insolent a specimen of the
beggar tribe as one often sees boarded
a Main street car during the rainstorm
on Sunday night. lie had a crutch
and cane and kept one leg drawn up
under him for professional reasons
evidently. He began business at once
by distributing a number Of printed
cards describing his misfortunes Mo-
body gave him anything, whereupon
he became importunatc in his de-
mands.
4 can't work no fake on the street"
he announced, unbushingly, "on ac-
count Of this rain, and some of you
people have got to give me nickel"
Even this pathetic appeal failed to
touch anybody, though several wom-
en- began to show considerable nerv-
business and to vacate the seats near
the tramp.
Finally a tall, slcek-looking mu-
latto, wearing a silk hat, entered the
car and took one of the vacant seats
beside the beggar The tramp
grabbed his arm and exclaimed.
"Say, niger, give me nickel, will
your"
Within the smallest fraction of a
second the mulatto's fist was planted
with a resounding thump under the
tramp's ear. The conductor, who,
after the usual manner Of conductors,
had been trying his best not to see the
disturber, had to come forward then,
and the tramp went off the car before
the scrap had proceeded any further.
He was able to use his crippled leg
very handily when he got off, too
"Just what he ought to have got
long before" was the consolation
which several male passengers offered
to the mulatto, whose silk hat had not
even been rufIled by the affair.
"Of course, / didn't care what he
said to me" said the hero of the Incl
dent, apologetically, "but when he
grabbed hold of me | had to defend
myself"
And everybody kindly assured HIM
that no excuses were necessary.-Buf-

Ambassador in Debt.

When Turkey declared war against
Greece the Turkish ambassador at
Athens, Assim Bey, was recalled, but
he did not Immediately return to his
native country. 1t seems that the
porte is very backward in paying its
ambassadors, and Assim Bey was
heavily in debt to Athenian trades
men. AS an ambassador he was ex-
empt from the usual law of debtor
and creditor, but as soon as diplomatic
relations between the two countries
were at an end, his creditors swooped
down on him, and he was informed
that if he attempted to leave the coun-
try he would be arrested as an alb
sconding debtor. Finally, the Eng
lish governor of the Ottoman Bank at
Constantinople forwarded the neces-
sary money to get him out of pawn.

THE BARKEBP'S RIVAL
How Young CIubman's Promising
Romance Came to Naught.

A young clubman used to tell a
piquant story about his experience
with a dainty little chorus girl. The
man about town engaged in firta-
ton with the coryphee. An acquaint-
ance followed. The clubman bought
suppers and drinks for the chorus
girl, was on hand every night, and the
management really looked upon him
as Steady" on whom they could
depend every night, rain or shine.
The girl in question was charm
ing conversationalist, and the club
man, being somewhat fastidious and
an idealist, thought he had never met
anyone from behind the footlights
quite SO well up in the arts and graces
of swell society.
"She might have come from We'll
lesley or Vassar, for all l knew, her
conversation was so choice" he is in
the habit of saying, when asked to
tell the story. Anyway, one evening
the clubman, being particularly fas-
cinated, asked her if she would ac-
cept box of flowers, and begged to
be told where to send them. eff 1
send them here to the garden, the
prima donna might get jealous of you
and cause no end of trouble" quoth
the man about town.
"Now where shall they go?" The
girl hesitated a moment.
"Do you know where the Red Ivy
saloon is?"
No, he had never heard of it. She
told him. The location was a stag
gerer. On she prattled, not noticing
her admirers discontinue.
"Just send them to Ed, the bar
keep, and tell him they are for
Maziel'
1t is needless to say there were no
flowers, and the STEADY" never went
near her again.-N. Y. Telegram.

Faces on the Dollar.

"There are but few persons but who
have handled silver dollars, some
many hundreds or thousands of
them, but l venture to say that there
are not many who are acquainted
with the full design on the face of
these coins" said a Commerce street
business man recently. 'Let me
show you. On the diverse face of
the dollar, turned upside down, di-
rectly under the date, will be seen
the profile of George III, a little to
the left the head and name of the
British lion, just a little to the right
of the profile of Disraeli-which
makes the fullness of the cap of the
Goddess of Liberty; in the cap is the
thistle of Scotland, the shamrock of
Ireland and two sprouts of the wheat
of America, and all surrounded by 10
stars representing the 10 original
states of the union. SO you will see,
the designer Of the dollar drew on the
several foreign nations for his de-
signs for coin that is largely used by
the descendants in America of all
those nations. The Goddess of Lib
erty, as you have probably already
read, is said to have been the likeness
of young Philadelphia lady, whom
the designer one met" - San An

CHINESE DRINKS.
Beverages That Tempt Natives Of the
Celestial Kingdom.

There are no drunkards in China,
neither is there an excise law. And
yet it is as easy to get intoxicated in
China as elsewhere, and, perhaps,
easier, for drinks are cheaper Wine
Of all kinds has been known and
drunk in the celestial kingdom since
the days of the Chau dynasty, some
1000 years b. g. Everybody drank
the fermented grape juice in those
days, and a gold cure establishment
would have coined money had it OK
listed
Things went from bad to worse,
until one of the emperors of the
Chau dynasty went upon protracted
spree When he began to "sec
things" he stopped short, and re-
formed and demanded reformation
on the part Of all his subjects. He
decreed the instant destruction of all
wine cellars, distilleries and saloons.
Since then wine made of the grape
has been questionable in China, and
scarcely any is made there or used.
Sherry, port and whisky have be-
come rather popular in China during
the last half century, but they are
considered as food, and only taken at
and with meals. Among the native
beverages is shoa-shing, a palish
brown mixture, the taste of which
suggests ripe hickory nuts. It is
served at all state banquets, and also
at private dinners. When cold it is
cloudy; when warm it grows clear,
emitting a peculiarly pleasant odor.
What shoa-shing is to the upper
classes, sam-shui is to the masses. 1t
is made from rice, and is its triple
distillate. Old sam-shui is very ex-
pensive and tastes like old sherry.
Healing is made from Monaghan
millet, and bears a family resemblance
to rye whisky. 1t is drunk only in
northern China, but has a large use
in the making of liqueurs. OF these
latter, ung-ka-peh or wo-shia-pi is
the best known. 1t is thick, oily and
yellow, and is a cross between yell
low Chartreuse and Benedictine. It's
taste is sweetish and aromatic, and it
has a great reputation as an appetizer
Other liqueurs made from koa-ling
are moo-qua, made of koa-ling and
melon; meu-kwai-loo, ying-toa, and
hundreds of other drinks.
Then there is fun-chin, or raw al
cohol, used for medicinal purposes.
Fermented fruit Juices and flower
wine, made by stepping petals or
leaves, are also common beverages.
Geranium wine is a horrible concoc-
ton, while bay-leaf wine is the equiv
alent of the bay rum used by our
BARRIERS. All told, there are some
1000 distinct drinks in China, yet
drunkards are almost unknown.-N.

of jewels in existence, among the
treasures being the most valuable
parasol in the world. 1t is of white
silk, embroidered with gold thread,
wrought at intervals with precious
stones. It's chief value, however, lies
in the staff, which is one long superb
niece of coral.
