poorly mado and strongly alkaline. Thoy
not only uttack the skin atid eventually pro

of tho twrcs and cat into tho glands and tho
oil thoy contain. Their uso gives a clean
skin, but one that Is dry, rough and inelastic.
Frequently, after a few days, dried whito
patches rise und fall off, tho Hpo and nostrils

oven positive discomfort results. WToreo

soaps so much in voguo. Thoy aro mado

with tho rankest essential oils tho market

qualities, tno inr more rascinatinir clement of
oxtromo cheapness. Careful examination
and analysis show that tho, brown color con
ceals a slovenly workmanship, which would
othcrwiso bo exposed, iu Irregular masses of
varying shado and consistency, and that tho
6trong essential oils serve to smother a rank
smell of putrefaction and nauseating raw
materials. Tho amount of tho oils is so largo
as to act as a rubt faclent and even an Irri
tant upon tho skin. ,
Tho writer onco experimentally rubbed it
on his faco und all j wed tho thin saponaceous
Mm to remain ten minutes before washing
it off. On its disappearance ho found tho
cuticle covered by numerous red points inter
mediato in npiiearunco between acno ami
eczema, which lasted twenty-four hours be
fore tho faco resumed its uatural appearance.
Such toilet soap replied to women of flno
complexions but of ionsitive skins woald ruin
their appearanco in less than a fortnight,
and would in the long run produce a condi
tion of tho cuticlo which would require
weeks of medical treatment to rcstofo to its
pristine stato. Far worse would be ita uso
upon babies and young children. Their skin
is finer and moro delicate than can bo easily
doscrilxvl Irritated by such rxap it would
break out into painful eruptions and in a
short while thereafter into running sores.
The evils described apply chiefly to the bed

the slightest use it becomes pulpy or sticky.
In this condition it does all the' harm men

may not contain the virus or tho gorms re
ferred to. If they do the next person who
uses the coke runs a serious risk of absorbing
the contagion and becoming a sufferer from
the same disease. 80 bad aro matters in this
regard that the onb safe rule for a porson
solicitous 1 or ms neajca is 10 never use ino
soaps supplied by hotels for patrons and
guests, but to always carry his own with
him or to try a fresh cake, no matter how
great tho temptation may bo to uso that
which is freely offered in places of public re
sort Moro objectionable yet are the unwieldy
roller towel, the saloon towel, and tho long
and broad towpls of tho wash rponu. These
under any 'and all clrcurnstances are a dis
grace to the house that uses them and an in
sult to its customers. Tho towel removes
moisturo from tho faco and hands by rub
bing. Tho friction does more, howover, than
remove moisture alone. It forces off scales,
pieces of dead skin, lymph from cuts and
abrasions, mucus from the nostrils, perspira
tions from tbo pores, pus from sores and
ulcers, and anything liquid that may be ex
creted from tho body or may have- been
thrown tipon its surface. Tho flbrous-Vand
interlaced structure of the towel make it a
marvelous roceptaclo and catch all for these
varied substances. They remain in its inter
stices until it is washed, and oven long after,
unless it is thoroughly boiled and nibbed
with strong laundry soap or treated with Jo
velld water or chloride of lime. It is all very
well for the first raah who applies a towel of
tho class mentioned to his face and hands;
the second man runs a risk, and the risk in
creases arftlin.etlca.ly with each user.

lain on .their sholves for forty or .fifty
years. MoHt extravagant prices havo been
paid for snuff boxes that belonged to mem
bers of tho old nobility. Several Jewclerl
aro engaged in making snuff boxes of art
tlquo and original designs. In many club
rooms ornamental vases, filled with various
kinds of snuff, stand on tho tables or man
tels. Iu colonial times, during tho revolutionary
war, and for many years afterward, tho use
of snuff was very common in this country.
Nearly every gentleman carried a silver
snuif box, which was often inlaid with gpld.
At tho entrance of tho senate chamlier, in
tho national Capitol at Washington, aro largo
receptacles for snuff, at which members of
that august body ence filled their boxes on
passing into their seats in tho morning.
Many can remember tho timo when the snuff
box was passed around in spclal circles every
fow minutes, and whon it was as common to
ask for a pinch of snuff as itnow is to ask
for 0 light for a cigar or for "a chow of to
bacco. Poor people generally used snuff be
cause it was cheap, or, more properly, be
.pauBe "a little went a good ways." Tho use
of snuff becama general in nil northern
countries, especially in Scotland, Holland,
Swedon and Norway. In Iceland nearly
evory person used largo quantities of snuff,
which was kept In tin ornamented horn. Tho
prabticb was, and perhaps is, to insert the
"little end of tho horn" in tho nostril and
to thump tho largo end so as to dlschargO a
portion of, tho contents. Tho host often
walked among his guests and performed this
office as a mark of hospitality. Sometimes
servants or members of tho family were in
structed how to handle the snuff horn with
grace and dexterity. Bef oro th6 invontiortof
friction matches considerable difficulty was
found in lighting cigars and pipes,' but tho
snuff box. was always ready to bring forth.
Forty years ago there was scarcely a grocery
hi the country thnt did not keep several kincbi
of snuff, and the name ef one Scotch manu
facturer was known throughout the civilized
world.
Tbo uso of snuff has boon steadily declining
in almost every country In tho world during
a period of fifty yearn. Various reasons may
be assigned for its gradual disuse. So far a;i
deloteripus effects aro ccnccrned, snuffing to
bacco it open to tho least objecticn, as the
ameunt of uicctlno taken into the system is
very small. This method of using tobacco .
also attended by tho smallest expense to tl 4

The Bunjo'a Successor.
Women are worse than the ancient Atheni
ans in their love for a now thing. What they
love and swear by one season thoy will aban
don tho noxfr, and nothing that is old, from a
bonnet to a carpet, finds favor in their eyes.
There is thd banjo. Threa years ago every
other girl in the country had one strung by a
yellbw ribbon about her neck and was thrum
ming tho strings and 'singing darky melo
dies .vith all her might and main. Most of
them never learned to play at all; they took
a lesson or two, learned the Scales and frag

guished until thoy would read in tbe London

Slowly arid silently tho irten paddled closo
to the outer 'edgo.of the fleet On one of the
furthest boats could be seen a man harfd.lng
a long hawser. Thoy Watched him, satisfied
themselves that ho was all right, then rowed
away. Thoy crept closely to tho edges df tho
wharves and piers, hiding iii tho friendly
shadows so as to spring out unexpectedly on
any crooked work that might bo going on.
They rowed among tho fishing smacks at
Fulton Mnrkot b sin. JBaskcts, colls of' ropo
and hawsers lay around in tho .bright moon
light Not a soul was on guard. It seemed
strange thnt non6 of tho gangs camo around
to steal until you remembered tho constant
fear they nro in of tho harbor pollco. Tho
river was as quiet as a cpuntry graveyard on
a stormy winter day. A Catherlno ferry

sounded as sho silently started out
Into tho basin between tho twin "Dover
docks" crept the pollco boat Ginnt floats1
laden with freight cars roso and fell slowly
with the tido, liko sea monsters asleep. A
shanty on a small float was visited. Thcro
wasn't a sign of HM about it "Old Mc
Donald isnt doing any work to-night,'' said
ono. "He's a 'speculator,' and sometimes
people come here to sell him things between
midnight and daylight" McDonald's dumpy
looking rowboats wero moored closo by.
They bobbed up and down and mado queer
noises when the little waves broke .on their
sides; as if they wore guying the ofUcerB for
not finding any one to arrest
Foul, pungent and mysterious low tide
odors, suggestive of old, dank tombs, floated
out from undor tho pier. Slowly tbo men
rowed their boat up between the slimy, gray
timbers, Jose flashed tho light through tho
dim recesses and scanned every cranny with
care. "Sometimes they hide a boat or two
in thcro with a nice little Jag of sugar," ho
said, "aud snake it out lively when they
think we're not looking," There was nothing
to. be seen this time, though. Up past the
bridge tho boat skimmed, each man keeping
his "weather eyo lifting" for amphibious
crooks. The vast roadway in the air hung far
aloft, like some fairy creation of silver. Its
stout cables and heavy guy ropes looked liko
unsubstantial cobwebs from tho river.
Through nnd under all tho open piers tho
police boat threaded its way. Ships and
barks and brigs lay at their moorings on
every hand with not a man on guard on
their decks. And why! Because ship cap
tains in this port know that river piracy is a
tiling of the past The harbor police and
Recorder Smythe havo mado this charming
style of crime so costly that tho tough gen
tlemen who were addicted to it have sworn off.

filiall the Lower Animal Talk?
How carajtbe lower animal lie taughtf Tho
best animals must first be. separated from
their kind, those showing the highesi men
tality nialed with each other. t Their offspring
must be as carefully taught, as In the baby,
such mere elchirnts of knowledge as they aro
best enabled to acquire. The descendant
throueh .successive tenerntioria and ttiroi'ii'H
years, if necseary,- must receive Ihe saino
uiugimaiunuuniuiu leacuing uiat uas ail-
vanced tho mentality of irian. That the lower
dniural of himself has been unable to ocdulro
knowledge by experience to such an extent as
mnh is no reason why wo 'should despair of his
ultimate emancipation. Shall the lower ani
mal talk! If I have shown conclusively that
many lower animals have knpwledgb above
instinct, greater in exterft than those men
who aro unlearned, then it is proof pre
sumptive that some met hod can bo discovered
by which the can communicate with us
what thoy know.
I have no method to offer. I shall bo con
tent to so present my data that those moro
familiar with the lower animals can effect
tho result I will simply suggest that if soma
ono of wealth will bequeath W 00,000 to him
who shall open communication with tho
lower animal world, soma dog, cat or bird
may, ero long, break the silence of ages and
teach his companions tbe method. In this
article only simple facts, plainly obvious to
all, have been advanced. Tho, subject is so
serious and humano in its import that a
singlo psychological theory orrohmrk" borders
tag on a hobby, or anything that reads liko
a new doctrine or "ism," or, any -.attempt at.
philosophical deductions from the data ad-
vancea in connection witn tnis, would ruin a
good cause, and, perhaps, tuni it to ridlculd.

their mental good and eradicate their uncou. I

Odessa garrison, chiefly first lieutenants and
captains of companies,, aro suddenly evincing
a remarkable solicitude to acquire a prac

acquaintances ot mine whom I havo ques

fact, which! have, pow learned bvuccldent,
that tho war ministry'has recently offered
an incentivo to a given number of thoso offl-
core in tho shapo of increased pay and rank
so soon as tholr proficiency In our language
ia proved. I was naturally curious enough
to inquire a little further, but tho marked
roticonco of my military friends at once
proved to mo that a certain amount of se
crecy had boon imposed upon thorn. A cap

But Paris without riches and poverty vie
and virtue, hnpplncss and misery, would, in
deed, bo a strango anomaly of human asso

phases of Parisian lifo from tho "Confession
of Claud," "IAssomoir" or "Camille," yet
' it is hard to belbvo that such a degrco of (do

THE CRNSUS OF INDIOKNCT.
Aa to tho existent indigency moro rational
data con bo obtained. Hvory three years a
census is taken, of tho population enrolled pi
the beneflcon-'o offices of tho twenty district
Into which Paris is divided. Tho object, of
tho census is twofold, First, by it are ob
tained tho names of all persons who aro, civ
titled to publib aid; second, a cjoo study ,fi
mado of their true situation with a view t
rendering as many as possibloself sustaining.
According to tho previous register there
were enrolled fer public charity filBSl heads
qf families, representing 140,585 persons. Th
board of visitors havo eliminated 4,000 heads
of families, representing 17,000, leaving regis
tered nt present 47,027 beads of families or
123,SS1 persons. Cotnparing'this result witla
that of 18S0 wo find tho number of heads of
families has increased by 811.', whilo tho in
dividuals comprised havo diminished by 41L
Bach dependent domestic group is therefore
relatively less numerous, whllo tho individual
applicants havo sensibly increased. In 1&
Paris had l,OO3,C0O inhabitants and 133,78$
indigents, or O.'iJ per cent To-day tho popu
lation Is Siti'J.OOOvof which 5.43 twr cent are
dependent on public charity.
In all tho districts tho number of assisted
women is for greater than that of tho menl
For every 84 males enrolled there aro 41 fo
makM. This is easily explained on th
grounds that tho labor of women Is less vo
munerativo, and thoy have less repugoffneo
in recurring to the public charities.

The native Parisians are by no meins th
majority of those whoso names oro on tho
dependent rolls. For every 1,000, J.'aris and
its Department of tho Seino funiishos 2JT;
tho provinces, 700; foreign, 07. Taking 1,009
names of those of foreign birth, the Germans
lead with 407; Belgians, 850; Dutch, 173;
Italians, 53; English, 10; Gpanidrds, 8;
Americana and Turks, 0. It will be observed
that Germany furnishes by far the larger
number of Parisian paupers of foreign birth.
This is explained by tbo fact that the Ger
mans are tho most migratory of all peopli,
and in search cf tho "daily bread" havo iit
vaded tho world.
Da general tha German emigrant is a modal

Tho lodgment of tho army of paupers in
Paris forms an interesting study. Moro than
a fourth! part live almost gratuitously, con

pay from 100 to 2,000 francs rent per annum.
