The famous chemist Chevreul, who recently died in Paris at the adyvanced age of 100 years, became, through his discoveries in‘relation to the combina- tion of greases, really the founder of the modern soap manufacture, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ~ The genoral use of soup dates back ouly about two hundred years, This may seem quite strange to us, but the ancient Greeks and Romans, notwithstanding the luxuriousness of their baths, were not acquainted with soap. Luther uses the word ‘‘sonp” in his translation of the Bible, but the Hebrew expression on which it is based means alkali, Homer in bis manifold detailed descriptions of the baths and bath houses of his days mentions no soap, but speaks of the rubbing of oil into the skin after ablution. Plinius (first century after Christ) speaks of the soap and describes its com- position as consisting of ashes and the fat of goats. Tt must have been asorely odoriforeus product, which undoubtedly was never used for toilot purposes. The entire middle ages knew noth- ing of the soap as a toilet adjunct and its fabrication and gencral employment was not begun until the seventeenth century. Butour modern soap manu- fucturé originated at the beginning of the present tury througi Chevreul’s discovery of glyeer ine and that of the manufac- ture of soda, which falls into the same period. The enormous progress which has been made in this essential toilet ar- ticle 15 well known, This ought to bea very pleasing sign for Liebig asserts that the quantity of soap used 1n o country is o good indicator of the prosperity and culture of its people. And he adds: “By taking two states with an equal number of inhubitants, one may reli- ably declare the one which uses the grouter quantity of soap according to statistics far the wealthier and more cultured of the two.” — STORIES OF WRITERS, The First Experiences of W Men With Publishers. John G. Whittier has told us in a modest and delightful way of the scosa- tions which he felt when he read for the first time in print one of his own poems, says & writer in the New York Star. This poem he had written while working on his father’s furm and had sent it for publication to William Lloyd Garrison, then editor and publisher of the Newburyport Free Press, David “Thoreau used often to tell, with evident relish, of how he bought up the first edition of **Walden” from its unlucky publisher, and gave away the volumes to chance visitors, while James Russell Lowell, on the other hand, is fond of relating how he realized a handsome profit from the firstedition of his poems, llu had the books insured for their full value, and a chance fire swent them all away. Of the authors now before the Américan public, none served a hurder apprenticeship than George W. Cable, He was a book-keeper in a New Orleans counting-house when his story of Creole life was accepted by the editor of Seribner’s Monthly. Before that he had made a miserable failure in journalism, and his life in the counting-room was hard in the extreme. He labored from early morn till late at nignt for wages that were pitifully small. Leisure for composition was hard to find, and it was eight years from the time when M Cablo irst wrote for Scribner’s before he vegan his first seranl story. His earnings are now handsome, indeed, and amply compensate him for his early struggles. Kdward Eggleston’s success a8 n novelist was purely accidental, Giving up the life of a western circuit rider, he settled down in New York and embarked in journalism as the editor of the Hearth and Home. One of the regular writere for that periodical hav- ing failed upowm one occasion to forward manuscript, & certain amount of space was left 10 be filled with original ficvion. Known | or two Nl BEE At the eloeventh lolir the editor himself filled the breach with a story suggested by his experiee andering Methodist preachgg i India A week later he was surprised to find that his story had struck a popular re for more. To supply this demand he wrote “The Cifcuit Rider, “The Hoosier Schoolmaster” and other popu- lar tales. His reputation is now so firmly established , that he can count upon receiving from $5,000 to §7,000 for anew novel, ' el ‘ IMMATURE WHAPPERS, The Foolish Craz: for a Light Weap- per on Cigars, With the adventof new« once again is raised loaf, says Tobacco. mands it of the importer nnd the im- porter of the manufacturer, who will fill orders with a certain proportion of light leaf and n certain proportion of dark. The vetailer is doing the mos kicking and the importer is suffering the most inconvenience. As we have pointed out before the renedy lies in the hands of the retailer. If he would devote half as much of his attention and time to the educating of his custo- mers as to what constitutes the light color in a leaf as he does to pushi special private brand of his own this light eraze would speedily assume more manageable dimensions and the dealer would make more profit in the end. Once educate the consumer as to the making of a cigar and the thing is done. Take alight and o dark cigar, cut them open and it will be seen that the workman has, so far as he is able, graded every portion of the filler, so that iv shall be as nearly a5 possible the same quality and strength; the wrapper is but tho outer dress and does not form one-twelfth part of the whole. Hence how ignorant,how foolish. is this light craze, even from th > practical, visible point. From the scientific point it is even mote so; the light leaf is nearly always the imma- ture,unripened leaf,gathered and cured permanently to meet this demand for light leaf, which lacks the true aroma and flavor of tobacco and very often possesses instead pungent, acrid, bitter chara tics. The very men who co for immature leaf would laugh at u of of eating unripe fruit or drinking half fcrmented beer or win: Yet which is the more foolish? Publi; opinion is not without its weight in this matter, and if every smoker of o light cigar was to have it promivently brought to his notice that by smoking cigars with light leaf wrappers he was simply advertising himself as an incompetent judge of tobacco antl an ignoramus upon a point that almost every man prides himself upon being an authority, he might pos sibly be brought to reason. That this is actually so can be demonstrated by the fact that one never sees a Cuban smoking a light cigar. There is no markot in Spain for light goods. The Regie is constantly rejecting even Colo- rados as too light, and it is only within the last fow years that this insane de- mand has sprung up and exists in the United States and England. The re- tailer grumbles and growls, but except in a few isolated cases he has never really exerted himself to crush this growing evil. He has not time, he pleads, or any excuse that comes first, but we notice that hie has time for other things not one-tenth part as important, and if he realized what this craze may develop into he would find time for this, op wrappers the cry for light The retailer de- Lo S A Wonderful Typéiveiting Machine. Wier's crytograph is a small type- writing apparatus lending itself adinir- ably to the purposes of secret corre- spondence, says the Iinglish Mechanic, The apparatus is only about twelve inches long by three inches wide and one and a half inches high. It consists of a type-carrier for ordinary letters and figures, which can be placed in any order that may be desired. There is also a movable index plate on which the letters and figures appear in the order in which they are placed in the type- carrier. On a smail tablet in the cen- ter of the machine are four white specks and u central black one, and opposite these specks is a movable pointer. By setting the pointer to the black space the machine can be used asa simple, ordinary typewriter. To work it the index plate is shiftea to the right or left until each required letterisin front of a pointer conneeted with the print- adjusting the piate and ey an ordinary type-writ- be prepared, For writ- ing the movable pointer is set, say. to the first white spacc. reading from left to right. A message can then be writ- ten in an unintelligible cipher, which can be varied in its details ns may be vreviously agreed upon by the parties corresponding. If so agreed the recipi ent of the message sets hi ble pointer to the fourth white s then reproduces, as it would seem, the jumble of letters and figures in the com- munication before him; but on remov- ing the printed paper from the machine he will find that he has before him in clear, intelligible language the precise information the sender desired to con- vey. o THE CANARY BIRD'S MESSAGE, How an Insane Lady Was Roscu-d from Cenel Treatment. In a garden of Berlin a cana was found bearing on its neck « small note. The address was unusual, **An den lieben Gow” (To the Good Lord), The finder broke the seal and found a sincere message, in aceordance with the direction, It was written by a lady, an inmate of a private nsylum. "She unfortunate one. pleading for relief from her sad condi. tion, nsked a speedy death. She com- plained that the misrule and self-will of a rude female Wuas the cause of he suffering, All explanations to her rel- atives were.vain, Depause this attendant attributed her complainings to a dis- eased mind, and punished her for at- tempting to makedeAown her situation.

These officials have. rare opportunities for bing public tendencies, and by counsel, the literary taste of the nation may be, to a degree, shaped. From this springs the covolary, that by stimulating the reading of the best books, by the public,the morals and the aspirations of the people may be af- fected.

Samson, described as the tstrongest man on earth,” who has for some time past been astonishing those who have witnessed his own displays of strength, has at his various perform- ances offered to give £100 to any one who could achieve the feats executed by his pupil, Cyclops. who assists him The chief item”in the performance of Cyclops, an enormously museular man, consists in iifting weights and dumb- bells ranging, it is said, from fifty pounds up to and over 400 pounds. Last night, as usual, when introduc- ing his pupil. Samson made the offer set out abo! Much to his surprise 1t was at once nccepted by a gentleman in the nudience, who inquired if the offer was open to an immediate test, and bei ing informed that 1t was he stepped onto the stage accompanied by a young man, who, as far as physique was con cerned, was not to be compared with the burly Cyclops. Indeod, so marked was the disparity between the pair that many of the audience obviously regarded the matter as a_joke. When, however. he had taken off’ his coat and waisteont, and was seen to be attired in apink jorsey, which left his arms and neck bare,it was apparent that Cyclops had toreckon with an athlete of immense strength, the developrtient of the muscies of the arm being extraor- divary. Samson had in the meantime deposited a baak note for £100 with Captain Molesworth, who was accepted srec. with the audience as a jury clops started the competition by lifting two heavy weights said to be fifty pounds—and hero it may ne a well to mention that i all cases the ey act burden was not known, but the, were probubly correct. This was easily performed by the acceptor of the chal= lenwe, was the raising of heav dumb-bells with one hand representing 300 pounds and 405 pounds. The next font was the lifting with one finger o solid mass of stone weighing 400 pounds on which were placed two weights of 50 pounds. This wa: omplished, and it was claimed that the £1¢0 had been fairly won, and so indeed thought many of the audience. Samson, however, maintained that the money could only be sccured by the accomplishment of all the tests which Cyeclops should undertake. Awid tre- mendous excitement extending over half an hour, in which twenty people were at the same timo shouting their opinions, nothing definite could be ar- rived at, and it seemed as if a general disturbanco would take place. An ap- peal was made to Captain Molesworth, who held the scales with conspicuous fairness, and he decided that, as all the . usnal tricks had been duly repeated, he would allow Samson to name two final efforts, and that, in the event of th veing done, he should hand over the £100 note to “‘the un- known,” as he had up to this time been called. This ended the bother, and Cyclops procceded to 1ift 250 pounds with his right hand above his head and graduaily fower his arm till it was held ut right angles with the body. This was securely done, and, amid immenso excitement, Cyclops took in hand a dumb-bell of about 800 pounds, and, holding it over his head with his right hand, stooped and lifted fifty vounds, raising it in turn over his head and lowering it to his elbow three timesand nearly a fourth. It is needless to say that at this point the audience were roused to a rare pitch, and when, after uphifting both weights in imitation of Cyelops,his rival lowered and raised the smaller three times, four, five, six and seven times before he put them down,the enthusinsm was somethiug to remember.
