Discussion Over Oxygen

That oxygen was wrongly named,
and is not a generator of acids, has
been the contention of scientists since
Lavoisier named the gas in 1777. j.
Priestley had called it ''dephlogisticat-
ed air." in ITS, and K. w. Scheele
had rediscovered it in ITS as "empyr-
cal air." Now Henry E. Armstrong,
F. r. s., vindicates Lavoisier's name
for It in the Proceedings of the Royal
society of April 2S:
"No more significant term has ever
been devised, as it is undeniable that
oxygen is the acidifying principle, par
excellence, whether or no all acids
contain oxygen. Though many oxides
are basic substances, the metals in
them being sufficiently positive tc
overmaster the negative properties Of
the oxygen, it is true generally thai
the more highly oxygenated they are
the less they are basic, and that, il
not few cases, the addition of oxy
gen to basic oxides inyolves ultimate
ly their conversion into acidic OK
ides."

SOAP JELLY ALWAYs BEST
Preparation That Will Appeal at Once
to, the Woman of Fastidious
Taste.

If once you form the habit of using
the liquid soap on your skin you will
wonder why you did not do so long
ago. and you will hardly care to use
cake soap.
Soap jelly is best, since it does not
clog the pores, and is much quicker
and more surely rinsed from the skin.
Try the following, and see if you
do not approve it: Take cake of
your favorite soap, weighing about
four ounces, shave it fine, then pour
three quarts of boiling water over it
and allow 1t to stand where it will re-
main gently warm on the back of a
range or over a radiator until all the
soap is dissolved. Then remove from
heat, and when cold pour it into a
large kettle; if the soap is unScented,
a teaspoonful of any essential oil. such
as oil of rose geranium, bergamot, Law
ender or rosemary, may be added to
the entire amount.
Now from the larger bottle fill con-
yenient sized one to leave on the wash
stand; there will be no mussy or
sloppy soap or soap dishes standing
about
Women who are fastidious and who
take good care Of their skin seldom
If ever use hard soap; their favorite
soap is purchased by the box and dis
solved into soap jelly.

smootn.Faeeo Wisdom.

President Wilson is the first bare
faced" occupant of the White House
since President Mckinley. Indeed,
these have been the only smooth
faced presidents since the Civil war.
The faces of the most conspicuous
members of the cabinet are whisker-
less, as is the mobile countenance of
the speaker of the house. The SEN
sible fashion is especially noticeable
in the medical profession, owing to
the fact that formerly its members re-
garded whiskers as an indispensable
part of their equipment, on a par with
the stethoscope and clinical thermom-
eter and odor of carbolic acid. The
idea then was, of course, to look old.
Now they try to appear young. Other
business and professional men are fol-
lowing the example of the doctors,
much to the qualification of the bar
bers and razor manufacturers. 1t is
not likely that we shall soon again see
the day when whiskers cover multi
tude of chins.

Value of Worthless Opinions.

The formation of worthless opinions
has probably been one of the marked
utilities, as it has mani{estly been one
of the thriving industries, of the hui
man race, and has kept alive that
curiousity and agility which in later
and happier applications has at last
appropriated truth. Take the con-
duct Of democracies. for example.
Politics is one of the few pursuits still
left to the amateur, and the result is,
by all robust standards, slovenly per.
formance. Meanwhile, the state keeps
ahoat and the bunglers are educated,
and the wise and kind rule of sagaci-
GUS angels would probably be worth
far less to a people than the privilege
of mismanaging their own affairs. The
botchwork and patchwork of the in
competent many in politics does more
to train, and, in the long run, to serve
mankind than the expert work of the
skilled few in science.-O. w. Firkins

Yellow Now the VOGUE.

For long time yellow was hardly
counted in with pale pink and pale
blue as an appropriate color for all
occasions--for use on lingerie and
negligee, for the touch of pale color on
the lace or chiffon blouse and for the
light-colored blouse itself. Now vel
low is in all its glory. For not only
are yellow ribbons used to lace up
all sorts Of lingerie and yellow roses
and ribbons used on negligees, but tiny
yellow muslin borders appear on
handkerchtefs and yellow blouses OF
chiffon and crepe de chine and linen
are much worn. There are many new
and interesting names for the various
popular shades Of yellow. Probably
maize is the best of the light shades
for general wear. Along with the in
creased use Of yellow comes the in
creased use of yellow roses for cor
sage flowers and trimmed for evening
frocks.
