CLEANLINESS WITHOUT SOAP.
That the Boers Don't Use It Doesn't
 Prove They're Dirty.


 Surely too much importance Is at tached to the scarcity of soap in the Boers' farm houses, says the London Truth. People may be very clean and use very little soap The Russians and Japanese cleanse themselves with va DOT baths. rarely using soap when they do so. A really healthy skin cleansas itself. Rough inside clothing, which. l presume, the Boers wear. is a great skin cleanser. have known of doctors curing skin diseases by insisting on lingerie de luxe being cas- aside and coarse undergarments Woln instead. The late emperor of the French hard ly ever saaped his hands until he went to England. l have come across a pa- per found in his desk at the Tuileries. It contained the instructions of the king of Holland to the governor of his two elder sons. Among the things for bidden was for the young princes, hands to be washed with soap. They were to use bran and slice of lemon. The lemon was to remove ink stains, and in summer to keep off gnats and mosquitoes. Napoleon, whose hands were good to model and beautifully white. also used bran and no soap, unless to shave. never use soap Of any kind without a sense of skin dis comfort which not even a deluge Of quite pure water will wholly remove. In England. on account of coal smoke, soap is more needed than in countries with clear air. The Boers enjoy, per haps, the purest atmosphere in the world, except when there are dust storms know French ladies who have discarded soap for vaselfne. They smear themselves with the latter and then rub it off well with soft cotton towel. A doctor tells me that nothing is more cleansing, but that he prefors, as more tonic, plain cold water, fol- lowed by the same sort of rubbing. pr. Leyds really should not take to heart what Sir Henry Stanley said aboat the Boers being badly off for soap.

NORTH SCRANTON NOTES.
Pavement Thoroughly Flushed by
the Street Commissioner-Tigu
May Wedding.

The street commissioners depart
ment washed the sand and dirt off the
North Main avenue pave yesterday,
cleaning that portion Of the new pave
between Providence square and Court
street The work was done in a thor
ough manner and the surface Of the
roadway showed up bright and red
when the large hose used by the street
commissioner completed the washing
process.
The avenue was in disgraceful con-
dition, the cutters being filled with
accumulations of mud and some of the
property owners had become so dis
susted with the prevailing condition
that they had undertaken, in some
instances, themselves. the task of
cleaning up in front of their properties.
The contract with the paving COM
pany did not provide for cleaning
of the roadway until just before it
was offered for acceptance, and as this
will be fully a year yet, an arrange
ment was effected by City Engineer
Phillips providing for the work now
being done on the finished part of the
pave.
The residents of the Providence Sec
ton are all pleased that this much
has been done before winter sets in.
