S Just then one Of the employees dipped
pail into the vat. There was great
commotion.
"That's the tallow pail, : some one
cried. The men began to- stir the brew
ing mass with violence and extra steam
was turned on. s-....
There are ~ tons Of soap in that
vat,' cried the, superintendent, "and
every bit of it, may spoil. You see," he
took the tallow pail and said: "Thcre's
always few ounces of grease sticking
on it, and that is enough to spoil the
whole lot. If a small corner becomes
rancid it will contaminate all the rest"
The addition of an improper per-
fume, or coloring substance, or the use
of certain oils under certain circum-
stances may likewise cause chemical
reaction which will spoiTa whole vat
of soap. =
When the lye and fat are thoroughly
sapon flied crane is opened and the
liquid runs into cooling chambers. Here
it remains for several weeks. The i'm
purities settle at the bottom, and often
one-third of the whole must be re-
melted. Some of the foreign substance,
especially iron salt, settles in streaks
through the soap, thus forming the So
called notified CASTLE.
To produce white or evenly-colored
soap the streaks are cut away and the
remainder is remelted with the proper
perfumes and colors. A "cold water''
soap is produced without the expensive
remelting process, by boiling lye and
fat with the ingredients gently enough
to prevent the evaporation of the alter.
The finer grades of perfumed soap are
"milled." When the boiled mass comes
out of the cooler it is cut into fine shaw
ings and dried. Ground perfume and
coloring matter are then added and the
whole is put through series of iron
rollers which mix and grind the COM
pound into homogeneous mass. Near
ly all the fine grades of soap are pro-
duced in this way.
The final stage is the shaping of the
cakes. A big block is put upon table
and wire netting run through in all
directions, SO as to cut the block into
cakes. With single stroke of the cut
ting machine, thousands of cakes are
thus turned out.
Milled soaps are pressed in dies. The
cakes arc put upon belt, which car
ries them to the stamping machine, and
there they are pressed into the desired
shape, with suitable design and letter.
ing, by means of two piston-like rods,
one pressing downward and the other
upward.
While the general method Of saponi.
fcation remains the same, certain soaps
are made by peculiar processes. Thus
the creamy lather of shaving soaps is
obtained by the addition of chemicals
whose nature is known only to few

peculiarly desirable properties, and we
must be very careful not to divulge our
secret processes to rival concerns"
The superintendent admitted me,
however, with the compliment that
would not be able to 'catch on anv
way; ''as you are not soapmaker," he
added, afterward.
Huge machines for cutting and press
ing covered the first floor, while cooling
watts extending three stories high were
placed along the sides. A row of some
40 tallow barrels lay over steam coils
and the melted tallow was slowly run
ming through a pipe into a so-called
boiling vat. Until few years ago the
cumbrous process of dumping the con-
tents of each barrel into the vat pre-
vailed.
When the melted tallow has all flown
into the vat I've is added. The mixture
is thoroughly boiled, sometimes for sew
eral days. The I've finally breaks the
skin surrounding each globule Of fat
and the chemical union, the saponifca-
ton, takes place. This should be per
fect," that is, every particle of fat
should combine with every particle OF
lye, the one neutralizing the other. If
there is an excess of fat. the mixture
will in time become rancid, while rem
nant of free alkali would bite the skin
and make the soap unfit for any but
laundry purposes. The superintendent
dipped stick into the boiling mixture,
and after it had cooled off touched it to
his tongue.
!. 'The soap must boil several hours
longer" he said; "it is not yet neutral,
for Lean taste the free alkali." 49, 4. i.

THE BOILING VAT.

thick, they would scrape their skin
with wood ashes containing potash lye.
When the barbarian inventors of soap
the Gauls and the Germans-frst taught
the effete Romans the use of it, the lat
ter made such fad of it that they
went into society with plaster of
highly perfumed soft soap covering
their hair and face.
All soap consists of combina ton of
fats with caustic lyes. When the an
cient Germans broiled their fatty hog
and bear meat, the grease would drop
into the fire, where it combined with
the potash of the wood ashes. II in adj
dition a quantity of cooking salt, that
is chloride of sodium, fell in, the soda
would displace the potash and ordinary
hard soap was formed. AS potash pos
sesses the property of attracting moist
ure from the air, soap made from it is
soft, and until about so years ago hard
soap was looked upon as quite luxury.
In many parts of the old country, and
amongst the emigrant farmers of the
great west, the busy housewives still
soak the lye out of wood ashes and
cook it with animal fats over the kitch-
en- fire. A Shiny substance with rancid
smell or full of biting free alkali is OBJ
tanned, but it does the work of clean
ing dirty linen and dirtier faces.
Formerly hard soaps were made by
initiating the ancient German method
of adding soda salt to the potash mix
ture. This was quite an expensive
process. and when so years ago an Eng
lishman began to nse soda directly in
place of the potash the soap industry
as such took a great squirt. Hare; cakes
in endless fancy shapes and fanciful
varieties were produced, and potash
soap almost disappeared. In France
and Germany softsshaying cream is
still extensively used and the shampoo
creams are or ought to contain potash.
It is only within the last few years
that attempts have been made to re-
introduce the soft varieties for toilet
purposes. They are said to possess sew
eral peculiar advantages, and cholera
commission at Hamburg recently re-
ported that potash soaps act as the most
effective distinctive and prcventives
against the dreaded disease.
A modern soap factory must be
equipped with elaborate machinery
and thorough chemical laboratory.
The making of an article apparently
as simple as soap is difficult and COM
pick process, requiring much deeper
and wider scientific education than I
had ever imagined previous to my re-
cent inspection of several factories. l
also found that great secrecy is OBJ
served in the concoction of certain
products. In one OF the largest factories
in the world I was refused admission
until I had produced my credentials as

for widowers and widows who go out
to work. There are hundred bed
rooms, each Of which contains a good
bed for the father or mother and
broad cot for the younger children.
For these rooms the parents pay IS. Cd.

lighting, heating and cleaning of them.
Clean linen is supplied once week:
In the home also there are dining, rec

ton. On the corner of Fourteenth
street, three blocks west of this new
building, there is block of vacant
ground, upon which the secretary OF
agriculture is looking longingly. A
new building is needed for the depart
ment of agriculture. There is a splen.
did site only one block from the treas.
ury, and only three blocks from the
white house. 1t is just the place for a
grand edifice for the new department
of the people. We cannot expect the
congress to make an appropriation for
this purpose at once; for the treasury
is poor. But it is now simply ques-
ton of little time when there will
be erected building on Pennsylvania
avenue for the department of agricul-
ture; and that will emphasize the ne.
cessity for the improvement of the av-
enue, by the erection of public build
ings, in place of the unsightly and
crime-stained rookeries which now dis
grace the place.
Many people are urging the idea that
the north side of Pennsylvania avenue
should be bought by the government,
and all along that side there should be
erected buildings for the residences of
members of the cabinet. This is gen
orally regarded as good idea, too; and
some Of these days it will fructify.
Pennsylvania avenue is yet in its in
fancy. AS the country develops the
avenue will be developed. One of these
days, maybe after the narrator has
ceased writing, and the reader has
ceased reading on this earth, Pcnnsyl-
vania avenue will be the most beautiful
thoroughfare in all the world; and
then only will be realized the dream of
the wonderful civil engineer who
planned it so long, long ago.

Fifteen years ago Congressman-
Springer, Of Illinois, introduced bill
providing for the purchase of the en-
tire north front of the avenue, and he
made strenuous efforts to induce the
congress to buy that property and de-
vote it to public buildings which would
be credit to the nation. But all Of
his efforts were wasted, because very
few men in congress had the artistic
sense to appreciate the necessity for
such action: Since then, although the
land is still possessed by the wicked, the
property has more than doubled in
value; and it would cost an almost fab
ulous sum to buy it for the government
to-day.
On the south side of this historic thor
oughfare, extending three blocks west
of the capitol. the botanical gardens are
located. 1t would be we'll for the gov.
eminent to always maintain them
there. But from Third street to Fiji
reaches the treasury, the south side
belongs to vice. crime and degradation.
But there is an innovation at last.
The south side of Pennsylvania avenue
has one adornment. At the corner of
Eleventh street. where for many years
the lowest kind of saloons were main
toined and where vile theater fer vile
men and vicious women was a promi
nent feature, public building has been
erected. 1t is beautiful piece of ar
chitecturc and is the only building. on
the entire avenue which is worthy Of q
place there.
The congressional mail is annually
increasing. and hence the business of
the Washington city post office is con-
stantfy increasing. Five years ago the
congress made an appropriation for
a new public building for the city
post office. With wisdom unusual
for congressional committee, this site
was chosen. The building is now al
most completed and will soon be occu-
pied.
Senators, representatives, visitors
and residents here are proud of this
building. Moreover, it is going to be
landmark for the future. 1t marks the
beginning of an era. Every thinking
man and woman. looking at this build
ing. entertains and expresses the
thought: 'Pennsylvania avenue should
be beautified with such buildings all
along its line"
This thought will crystalline into &c.

men in the United States. Although it
is the height of every soap makers am.
bition to produce the most delicate
article, a first-class shaving soap, few
factories in the world have met with
success. Transparent soaps, dissolved
in alcohol, which is subsequently evap-
Grated, are also made by secret proc
ess, and many of the other toilet soaps
possess peculiar virtues which cannot
be initiated. Floating soap, for in
stance, was first made in 1873, by an
American firm, and it took ten years
before competition realized that the
whole secret consisted in mixing air
with the soap by means of revolving
spiral.
Much has been done in recent years
in the direction of medicated soaps.
The article used in daily washing has
been found to be most convenient and
efficient vehicle for the application 81
certain medicaments to the skin. The
use of a perfectly medicated soap will
do much to prevent the spread of con-
tagious diseases, while it may also re-
move incipient infection. Many forms
of skin trouble, it has been shown, can
be more surely and efficiently cured by
the constant use of proper soap than in
any other fashion.
Different kinds of soap are needed for
different people. Thus the perspiratio
of some people has an acid. of others
an alkaline reaction; some men have a
thick, others thin skin, and so on.
The most progressive soap factories
are now working in the direction Of
meeting the most minutely fastidious
needs of all of these.
Thus is the statement of DR.. Liebig
that soap and civilization so hand in
hand being verified.

Especial Washington Letter.


You have all read of Pennsylvania
avenue, the great thoroughfare of the
national capital. It is the grandest
parade ground in the world, and will
some day be the greatest avenue on
earth for beauty, comfort and pleasure.
To-day Pennsylvania avenue is moth

that the people generally imagine it to
be. You shall see it through the eyes Of
one who knows every inch of the
ground, by riding over it, driving over
it and walking it's entire length. for
many years. You will be disillusion-
lied.
1t need scarcely be said that Maj.
L'Enfant, the civil engineer who
planned the city more than a hundred
years ago, performed a piece of work
which daily demonstrates his wisdom
and sagacity. The capital city of the
new republic of the new world was
without form and void. The site was
selected by Washington, but the civil
engineer saw before him nothing but
unbroken forests in which aboriginal
men and women roamed. There were
morasses, ponds, a sluggish creek
named the Tiber, lot of high lands,
and lot of lowlan6s, all of them in a
state of rugged nature.
With only this prospect before him.
Maj. L'Enfant planned the city, laid
out its streets and avenues, located the
public buildings, many of which were
erected from so to 100 years after his
his death. He was wonderful man.
With pencil, pen and paper he first
located the great capitol building, in
which the congresses should sit and de-
liberate for the general welfare. With
that as center, he drew his lines and
marked out streets and avenues which
should be developed as the city might
grow. Even at the beginning of our
civil war the trees of virgin forests
were growing in profusion, with q will

day that checks and drafts aggregat-

mail boxes on Water street December
16. These checks were mailed by
wholesale houses and the thieves ap-
pear to have got them all. A post 6f-

case for several days, and it is pretty
definitely settled, it is said, that Rich

New York for robbing the mail boxes,
