Munyon's Witch Hazel Soap is pure
enough to eat. It is composed of the
finest indictments, unguents and vege-
table products. In addition to an ex-
tract of witch hazel which possesses a
strength greater than that Of any other
extract ever made. it contains other prop
critics which in their nature must abso-
lutely soften and beautify the skin, eradi-
cate blackheads, pimples and similar erup-
tions, and cure skin disorders Il is the
sweetest and best toilet soap made. That
is why millionsof cakes have been sold
since its first appearance on the market.
That, also, is why scores of imitators
have endeavored to reap the benefit Of its
popularity by making up some miserable
substitute, giving it the magic name
witch Hazel Soap" and selling it at a
price which indicates that It is composed
of only the cheapest and most harmful in
gradients.
Prof. Munyon says he has analysed
twent y-one different makes OF so-called
Witch Hazel Soap, and in none has he
found the slightest trace of this great
curative agent.
On the other hand he asks the public
TO stop for one moment and ask them
selves the question: "What becomes OF

The first Of a series Of Institutes for
the teachers of New Castle county was
held on Saturday afternoon, at Goldey
College, under the auspices of Prof. A. r.
Spaid superintendent of county schools.
While it was not for city teachers, SUI
perintendent George w. Iwitmyer of city
schools was an interested visitor. There
We're also several other interested visit
ors, including Rev j. r. Milligan, ID. d.,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church of ST.
Georges, and Clerk Mccoy of the Hares
Corner schol district, all of whom APP
peared to appreciate what transpired just
as much as the teachers.
OF the 1876 teachers in the country out
side of Wilmington between 80 and 100
were present Several were unable TO at
tend, living in sections out of reach of
the railroads.
DIR. Lightner Wilmer, professor of
psychology at the University of Penn
sylvania, was the lecturer, and his talk
was decidedly helpful, as well as being
entertaining.
He discussed the functions of the eye
and brain and made application as tc the
method of spelling. whether it depends,
in a child, on the sight OF hearing. He
pointed out that if a child lacks imag-
nation it is not a good speller, as imag
nation precedes memory. The professor
talked for about an hour and during that
time he held the undivided attention of
his audience.
IL had been planned to have the next
two Institutes in the High School at
Middletown on the 9th of this month
and the 10th of February, but because of
the train arrangements the programme
has been changed. and both lectures will
take place there on the same day, Janu-
airy 9th. Prof. Joseph Swain, president
of Swarthmore College, viii lecture at
1880 o'clock in the morning and Prof.
Wilmer will lecture at o'clock in the
afternoon. There viii be no institute on
February 10th.
IL had been planned to have the lee
lures on the two days mentioned, at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, but as the
teachers from this end Of the county
could not attend, except to a disadvan-
'tage, the change was made. The teach
ers leaving from this city could 60 to
Middletown on the 1858 train and be
there ia ample time for the afternoon
lecture, but those going from way sta
tions would have to go on the sos train,
as the 1888 train does not stop at the
way stations.

WIDOWS PENSION.

An Effort to Secure One for the Widow
Of James W. Smith, a Spanish War
Soldier.
Il is likely that Congressman Burton
will, this week, introduce a bin in Con-
gcss, asking that the widow of the late
James w. Smith, who made a good
record in the Spanish War, be allowed a
pension. Friends of the deceased soldier
have been working for some time TO Sc
cure his widow a pension, and recently
placed the matter in the hands of Con-
gresham Burton.
Smith was a member Of Co. II, Twelfth
United States Infantry of which COM
pany Lieut.. Clarke Churchman, who was
killed at III Cancy, and in whose memory
monument has been erected on the
Boulevard, was also a member.
When Lient. Churchman was shot he
sent for Smith and gave him last mes
sage TO deliver 10 his mother when he
returned home, which message Smith de-
livered Smith was in all the important
battles in Cuba, and also saw service in
the Philippines. lie was commended on
several occasions by his officers for acts
of bravery and was recommended for a
medal of honor, but never got it.
The Twelfth lnfanryt was one of the
first regiments sent TO Cuba and took

and several others. AZ III Caney, volun-

cutting of the wires and some time later
in letter 10 Smith, he described il as
one of the bravest deeds he had ever wit
messed, and said the two men would have
been rewarded by a Victoria cross had
they been i'm the English army.
Smith, on returning home, got a po-
sition as fireman ON the b. & o. railroad
and then was married. About two years
ago he fell from his engine and broke his

the ranchmen and other cattle dealers, as
quickly as even inhumanity win allow,

in watts mixed with other disgusting con-

Prof. Munyon, who spent years in per-
fecting his Witch Hazel Soap and who
guarantees by his entire fortune, business
reputation and personal integrity It's abso-
lutte purity and power in curing skin dis
orders, says:
"The man who would knowingly invite
the mother to apply to her baby's skin a
soap composed Of vile impurities and who
would steal the name Witch Hazel Soar

to be pure enough TO eat, introduce into

Birds Made to Order.

"The Japanese can make birds to
order" said an ornithologist. With
their ind omitable patience and their
Incompatible ingenuity, they can pro-
duce new kinds of birds as a mil
liner can produce new kinds of hats
They have a pet sparrow that is
perfectly white. DO you know how
they make him? Well, they take a
pair of the palest sparrows they can
find, and keep them in white cage
in white room, where their only
attendant is white-robed servant
The result, after q series of genera
tions, is a pure white sparrow. Or
SO, at least, the Japanese have told
me.
They breed also rooster with a
tail almost as big as a peacock's.
First, they say, they select a rooster
with very fine tail. They make him
stand on high perch. and they drag
his tail downward; they stretch it out,
with weights. So they do with the
best-tailed of his descendants for
some years, and in the end an enor-
mousIy tailed rooster is obtained"
