The Abuse of Soap.

The implied tribute to soap and wa.
ter in the much quoted sentiment at.
tributed to John Wesley that "clean-
liness is indeed next to godliness," Is
no longer to go unquestioned. 1t is
now declared that this much vaunted
combination of grease and alkali is
to great extent mere fetish, and
that those who have made a virtue of
much bodily bathing and even Of fa-
cial and manual ablution, are not to be
considered as immune from many
diseases or rendered sanity by sapO-
naceous salvation. The Liverpool
Medical and Chirurgical Journal says
that furfuraceous or barnlike patches
on the faces of children are due to
the over-use or abuse of soap, and
that such patches are likely to become
inoculated with micro-organisms
which may lead to something even
worse, more erudite, and greatly more
polysyllabic. Many other troubles are
attributed by this authority to the
abuse of soap, and it Is alleged that
frictional eczemas are aggravated by
soap and water.

PompeY,s Pillar.

This is the name of celebrated col
umn standing on slight elevation in
the southwest section of ancient Alex
andria, short distance outside the
Arabian walls. 1t is a monolith Of red
granite of the Corinthian order raised
upon pedestal. It's total height is 90
feet 9 inches, shaft 73 feet, circum-
ference 20 feet 8 inches. The present
name is a mere invention Of travellers.
The inscription on the bases shows
that 1t was erected by Publius, Eparch
of Egypt, in honor of the Emperor Dio-
cletian, A. D.. 3O2. 1t stood in the
center of the court of the Serapheum
or great sanctuary, of Serapis, and
survived it's transformations into a
church and fortification.

Woman and Higher Education.

A student in Columbia university,
delving into ancient lore, has un-
earthed the fact that one Mary Astell,
an Englishwoman, hitherto unknown
to fame, figured in the latter part of
the seventeenth century IS writer
on religious topics and also as pro-
motor Of at least one educational idea
far ahead of her time. In 1894 she
published "A Serious Proposal to La
dies" in which she urged the forma
tion of kind Of Anglican woman's
college. Nothing came of it and the
London Times Literary supplement
speaks rather slightingly of the Co
lumbia student researches as set forth
in the monograph as thing not worth
the labor. But Mary Astell was SOW

fowered into great colleges for wom-

A Hot Answer.

A teacher from New York state was
visitor in Boston. A native guide
was proudly showing the stranger his
torical points Of interest. Upon see
ing the tomb of Samuel Adams, the
instructor was moved to unseemly
mirth, much to the amaZement and in
dignation of her pilot. Quickly con-
trolling herself, however, she apollo
gized for her laughter and offered the
following explanation. Last term,
was teaching a grade of sixth year
pupils about the continent of South
America. When the day came for ex-
animation of the subject | found in
writing the questions on the black
board, that space was limited. So /
abbreviated the name of the continent.
One question read, I'm what zones
does S. A. lie?' That night, in mark
ing the papers, this startling answer
confronted me: Samuel Adams lies
in the Torrid Zoner"

Foxes Mate for Life.

Since the days of Aesop's Fables
tales Of foxes and their doings have
had their place in literature as well
as in the folklore of the countryside.
Many of their amazing wiles to outwit
pursuers or to capture their prey give
evidence of extraordinary mental pow
ers. Their bill of fare includes many
items, such as mice, birds, reptiles, in
sects, many kinds Of fruits and on rare
occasions a chicken. Red foxes appa-
rently pair for life and occupy dens
dug by themselves in q secluded knoll
or among rocks. These denS, which
sometimes are occupied for years in
succession, always have two or more
entrances opening in opposite direc-
tiOns, so that an enemy entering on one
side may be eluded readily. The young,
numbering up to eight or nine, are ten
derly cared for by both parents.-Na-
tional Geographic Magazine.

No Baby Carriages In Japan.

Ones first impression reaching
Tokyo is that it is exceedingly well
provided with means of transportation.
Up through the middle Of the city runs
the elevated trestle, nnder which scores
of warehouses and shops utilize the
covered space, and on this four-track
trestle electric and steam trains enter
and leave in steady streams. The
streets are filed with automobiles, mo-
tortrucks, bicycles, man-drawn carts
every type of vehicle except the baby
carriage. The baby carriage of Japan
is the mothers back or the daddy's
shoulder, and have no doubt that this
closeness of mother and child through
out months and years has much to do
with the excellent behavior of the
bright little babies Street cars pass a
given point every minute or two, and at
a crossing there are always q half
dozen big trans in sight.-The Chris
tian Herald.

Source of Nux Vomica.

With the exception Of Ceylon, which
exports limited quantity of nux vom-
lea, British India Is said to supply the
world. Nux vomica seeds and pick.
ings are obtained from the plumlikc
fruits Of >the tree. The fruit is col
lected and the seeds washed out and
dried in the sun, or the seeds are
simply gathered from the ground, but
in the latter case they have little COM
mercial value. In the forests of Nellore,
where the tree is common, the seeds
are washed out by forest tribe, the
Yanadis, and good price is obtained
for them. Cochin nux vomica is col

Things to Remember.

It does not matter so much how long
1t takes to accomplish task, as how
worthy of accomplishment the task
may be. In building character, one can
safely forget the years involved and
concentrate on the details. The mas
sive proportions Of more than one
European cathedral are set in relief
by cluster Of small houses gathered
about its foundations. The builders Of
the cathedral may have seen the houses
being erected in a few months, while
they knew that they themselves would
toll on their own masterpiece and still
not live to see it finished. But they
could disregard the swiftness of the
building Of the huts, for they intended
to help complete a structure that would
be worthy to endure.

Joe Allen, the varnish man, claims
that the oldest joke is the one about
the negro who had never seen a finger
print impression photographed. A hen
roost was robbed one night and the
owner found some finger prints in the
dirt. He had one Of these photo
graphed and the photograph en-
larged. The finger print was traced
to negro named Nose, and after be.

CrulIer and DouQhnut.

Noah Webster, the dictionary maker,
was exceedingly fond Of crullers. And
yet you may go to his dictionary in
vain to seek the real difference be-
tween crullers and doughnuts. His
definition of cruller is: "A small sweet
cake made Of a rich egg batter, cut
into rings, strips or twists. and fried
brown in deep fat" His definition of
doughnut is: "A small cake usually
sweetened often made with yeast, and
fried brown in deep fat" But diff
ference is indicated, even in those two
unsatisfactory definitions and that diff
ference is that a cruller is made of
"rich egg batter" and doughnut is just
"sweetened dough-"

to care for the famine sufferers out of
their own scanty supplies. In the time
of the great plague, so-called ''rat-

posed largely of the boys of the socie-

rats as possible lest they carry the
infection from house to house, and to
produce, as proofs of their faithful

Growth Of Tortolses.

It is popularity supposed that the
growth of turtles and tortoises is very
slow, and that they live to be hundreds
Of years old. The impression has been
general as regards the gigantic tor
toises Of the Galapagos islands in par
ticular; but the staff of the New York
Geological park finds, on the contrary
that they grow rather rapidly. A spe-
cimen received at the "Zoo" ten years
ago has increased in weight from one
hundred and forty to over three hun
dred pounds. Moreover, conditions in
this climate and in the varying tenn
perature of New York city are not near
ly so conducive to rapid growth as the
uniformly hot climate of the Gala
pagOs islands, which are almost under
the equator.-Youth's Companion.
