SOAP.

Before soap was invented what did
the ancients do to keep clean? Phny
is the first to mention soap and he de-
clares it is to be an invention of the
Gauls, though he prefers the German to
the Gallo soap. 1t was made in Eng
land in early times, for Richard of De
VICES, writing in the reign of Richard l.
quotes the words of a French jew, VINO
wrote still earlier: AT Bristol there is
nobody who is not or has not been a
soapmaker." In the reign OF Edward
I, soap was largely manufactured at
coventry. In London the first soap
works were established in 1924. Soap
seems to have deterorated in Eliza
beth's reign; historians record that
good soap was almost an impossible
! luxury and clothes had to be washed
with hemlock, nettles and refuse soap

MORE GOOD THINGS
At THE ORPAEUM

Walter Sanfords next production to
be given by his company at the Or
pheum Theatre tonight and tomorrow
night will be Tempest Tossed, a story
of life on the New England coast and
mans deceit, of a struggle between love
and revenge, relieved by the quaint
humor that bubbles up through the
daily lives of the natives of the sea
girt shores of Maine. Humor that
flows as naturally as water from
pure spring, a numor that rip
pies unconsciously over the most
pathetic incidents of their life, and
furnishes a pleasing alternate to the
more serious and dramatic parts of the
play. The play opens at the nome
of the Prestons on the beach, and the
third act shows a most realistic scene
of a wreck on the open sea, me
chanical effect of great realism. Ihe
patrons of the Orpheum Theatre are
promised an evening of thorough en-
ioyment in witnessing this play. OW-
ing'to popular demand there Will be Il
matinee next Saturday at which re-
served seats will sell for % cents.

Premier Seldom and other officials re-

"As you know" said Mr.. Cameron
New Zealand meats are famous the
world over. We are troubled however
with a growing competition especially
of South America stock raisers and, in
consequence some thing has to be done
to meet this competition. The GUS
tom now of many of the shops is to sell
this South American meat under the
representation that it is New Zealand
meat. The result is that people who
are DESTROYS of becoming acquainted
with the fine quality of New Zealand
meats are imposed upon and do not
secure what theY seek.
THE idea of the New Zealand gov
eminent is to educate the public up ia
the standard of New Zealand meats

1t consists of between twenty

The keynote of the treaty is the pro-

comprises between eight and ten miles

A Chinese engagement dates it's be-

between the parents of the contracting
parties. These cards in many districts
are immense documents, almost the
size of horse blanket. They are i'm
portant for the reason that they are
used as evidence in case of disagree

in China of broken engagements. Yet
if quarrel cannot be settled peaceful
ly recourse is had to the law, and the
judge usually imposes fine upon the
party who has broken the contract.
The chief incident in Chinese mar
riage is the arrival of the bride in her
bridal clothes before the house Of her
chosen one. That is de facto fulfill
ment of the contract. The wedding day
is determined by the parents of the

the lucky days. and on such days the

The Leverage In a Screwdriver.

1t is sometimes supposed by persons
imperfectly Informed in mechanics that
a long screwdriver gives greater lev
erage than a short one. This. how
ever. is incorrect. The action Of a
screwdriver. the pressure OH which is
direct, is not in any way analogous to
that of q lever. The superiority of
long screwdriver rests simply on two
facts-first. you can generally get
better grip on long screwdriver than
on a short one and can bring the whole
weight of the body and strength of the
arms to bear on it, and, second the tor
sion of the iron in long screwdriver
comes in to supplement the force en-
ployed. The only way in which lever
age can come in is in connection with
the breadth of the point of the screw
driver and even this counts for moth
ing beyond the breadth of the head of
the screw ~
