vice to hold the sponge intact after
the soap has been placed in the cavity
1t will be obvious that there is no
necessity of rubbing soap over the
sponge TO secure soapsuds. as the soap
within the cavity will insure contin-
uous supply, the suds working to the
outside of the sponge through the

The snowy soldier on horseback
wearing his flashing breastplate Of

No cuirass, no matter how crafty

branches Of the artillery.
The fact is the cuirass has passed
