Antiquity of Soap.

The origin of soap Is a mystery, but
we have many evidences of its antiqui-
ty. 1t is mentioned at least twice in
the Bible under the name of borith at a
period corresponding to several centu-
ries before Christ. In the Louvre in
Paris there is an interesting old vast
of Etruscan manufacture whose age is
computed at about $500 years. 1t is
interesting in connection with our sub
ject as bearing a group of children in
relief who are engaged in blowing bub-
bles from pipes. Though we must not
overlook the fact that certain vegeta-
BILE juices are capable of being used in
blowing bubbles, it Is for many reasons
more probable that soap Of artificial
manufacture was employed for the
purpose. In the uneal led city of POM
peii, the preservation of which has
been the means of revealing to us many
antique customs, there is to be seen a
soap mandatory, with all the kettles
and other paraphernalia pertaining to
the business; also a quantity of soap,
evidently the product of this antique
"soapery." The memorable volcanic
eruption, while removing a city from
the face of the earth, preserved to US
the evidences of a high civilization.

be willing to send them and run the
risk of being found out.
One case is on record of the recipient
of II of these anonymous insults get
ting even. 1t was a bright girl who
got the thing in the mornings mail
and within an hour posted it to another
girl whom she suspected of having sent
it. 1t turned out that the guess was
right. The original sender, not sus-
pecting the trap, called. produced the
valentine and told the bright girl that
she was a mean thing for sending it.
But how do you know l sent it?"
said the bright girl.
Too late the original sender saw she
was trapped.
If you do not believe this a good
scheme, gentle reader, try it for your
self on the next person you suspect of
having sent you one of those cheap and
tiendish pieces of bad banners known
as comic valentines.
But, however other folks may regard
st. Valentines day, it is no joke to the
postman. 1t is said that the original
st. Valentine himself was dubbed to
death, and the poor carrier who is COM
PEELED to lug around and deliver hun
dreds of missives in his devoted name
would probably like to club a few thou
sands of his disciples to death also. AS
far as the recipients of the letters are
concerned, it is only their vanity that
is sore, but the postman is sore in his
shoulders, legs and general anatomy,
and that is a soreness worth mention
ing.
1t will never do, however, to pass up
st. Valentines day as an unmiXed evil.
1t has gladdened the hearts of too
many small boys and led too many
blushing young things to the altar for
that. If matrimony is a boon. land
who dares deny it?-then blessed is
the day that gives the young man a
chance to send love tokens to the girl
of his choice even if he does do it in
bad poetry. All the sins that have
been committed in the name of the
good st. Valentine may be forgiven on
another score. The day occasioned a
very sweet little quatrain from Eugene
Field. 1t was found written under his
wife's picture:
You are as fair and sweet and tender.
Dear, brown eyed little sweetheart mine,
As when, a callow youth and slender,
| asked to be your valentine.
A custom that can cause n sentiment
so gracefully couched is well worth
preserving. But Eugene Field could
make poetry out of worse things thai

is not so anxious that she should not
suspect the sender-in fact, he is most
careful to write in his usual hand II
possibly to put his initials somewhere
about the package. Then when he calls
that evening, as he is very apt to do II
smitten hard enough, he delicately leads
I'D to the fact of its being st. Valentines
day, and if that does not answer the
purpose he asks the fair II as to what
reminders of the day h has received.
Should she still remain coy he will tell
her outright unless he is a very bashful
lover. After that it Is just as well to
draw the curtain. 1t may be as well
to remark, however, that good st. Val
entine was a great matchmaker both
before his death and since.
But, as to the other sort of mon
strosities that masquerade as valen-
tines, it is not at all surprising that 10
one is willing to stand for them. The
surprising thing is that any n should

The state brewers had their innings
when the house committee on munich
pal corporations heard the opposition to
the Miller local option bill Monday aft
ernoon EX-Judge Skinner and William
Foster of Newark. representing the
State Brewers association. appeared
and gave lengthy arguments why the
bill should not pass. declaring hat the
advocates of the measure were seeking
to make New Jersey Il prohibition state
and not fighting for home rule, as they
had declared.
Another hearing was given Tuesday.
There was but one speaker against the
bill. while "A delegation of ministers
from all owe the state was present to
urge the committee to report the bill ia
vorably. John o. II. Pitney Of Newark
claimed that it would be depriving the
people of what they want, and have a
right to have, to take from them n bev-
erage. Mr., Pitney said that Newark
vas made up of the cream of the for
eign element. who are used to taking
their beer, and to deprive them of this
would be making game of the so called
freedom of America.
The friends of the bill said no man
was being deprived of buying his liquor
when necessary. Their main argument
was that ii was the defeat of the same
measure about twelve years ago that
beat the Democratic party in New Jer-
sey, and the same fate would meet the
Republican party now If they defeated
the bill at this time.

Somerville presented a number of ar

passed. He said it's provisions were in
clined to be drastic, but such legisla-

view of the increase in automobiles and
the lack of enforcement of existing III
