Use SOAP an Economy.

Soap in its modern form seems
rather to be an evolution Of economy
and commercial convenience than an
evidence Of great accession to
cleanliness. The rich to-day in their
homes use unguents, oils, meals and
bath powders in preference to It, A
lather is not in this age as pfctur-
esque as the old method, when a
salve poured liquid soap over her mis-
tress from a costly Jar before the fair
bather stepped down into the water.

Words Meaning undermined.

Literally the word "rajah" means
king; and ''maharajah," the great

be eccentric marks the chief danger
OF the time.-John Stuart Mill.
