There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the Ivory." They are not, but like all counterfeits, they lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for Ivory Soap and insist upon having it. 'Tis sold everywhere.

Lake Chelan, in eastern Washington, never freezes, although in latitude 4S degs. north. The reason given is that it is so deep, and the warm water always rises from the bottom to supplant the cold, which goes down to warm itself. The Indians fteh in the lake at all seasons and use salmon eggs for bait.

An Italian correspondent, writing in English from Rome, says that the pope ''turned slightly pole" when Buffalo Bill's Indians "fell prostrate before him, then, with all the enthusiasm of their race, raised themselves from the ground, shonting with loud voice*"

Printing in Germany keeps its 450th birthday this year, and the Teutonic printers* union intend to celebrate tho anniversary right worthily. A grand commemoration was planned for the quarter century in 1840, but political disturbances prevented the festival, so that tbe Gorman printers are anxious not to let the present anniversary pass unnoticed.

The woman reporter who is trying to get admission t? tbe press gallery of the house of commons has got so far along as a statement by the speaker that there is no law to prevent her being admitted there. It was coupled, however, with the remark that oh there was also no law to admit her there it might just as well to let things stand as they are for tbe present.

Sittings are also now given to a sculptor for tho emperor's bust.

The use of electric lights is increasing with great rapidity among th Loudon shopmen. A walk down the Strand or Oxford street after dark will show that every second or third store has now given up gas, which would have been entirely superseded some time ago if it were not so cheap. Many of tho other large cities in England are now using the arc light, and at Brighton it is almost universal.

The insignia of the Bath, which has hitherto been made of gold, is, in future, to be merely silver gilt. The representatives of deceased knights of tho Bath always returned their insignia until the Crimean war poriod, when, for aomo reason or other, it was ordered by £he house of commons to be retained, which thus proved a costly piece of nonsense for the country.

THEY GOT THE SCENT How an Onhkofth (Win.) Miner Rewarded the (luod l.lttle liny•.

Thoro is a miserly old lady livinjr Oshkosh, says tho Times of that city, who, it Is believed, judging from circumstances, has chests and chcsts of (fold secreted In her house somewhere. She is so penurious and hates to part with her money so had, that when she is compelled from absolute necessity to buy the necessaries of lifo she walks to the storo farthest fre-n her house so that she can keep in her possession the money that must ho spent for food a little longer, and pays for her purchase with more rclut'tanco than Isaac of York could command whilo parting with his gold.

Histoid of this old lady that one day, while counting over some money, a five-cent piece dropped in a big woodbox filled with wood, shavings, etc. She searched for an hour in vain, and was almost distracted by tho loss, when a bright thought struck her. Sho would have a couple of little boys, who were playing near tho house, seek it. Accordingly she called them in and told them that if they would find the money which had dropped in tho wood-bos she would givo them each a cent. Tho youngsters, eager to earn the prico of a stick of candy, went willingly to work, and after hunting for about two hours gave a howl of delight when thoy discovered tho missing coin.

Tho old woman eagerly snatched

It

from them and, after carefully depositing it in her pocket-book, called them dear littlo children and said they well earned their reward. Sho then wont into another room, brought out a bottlo that had once been filled with perfume, and gave each ono of tho boys a scent of tho lingoring odor, after which sho called thera dear littlo darlings again and told them to runaway now and play. Tho littlo fellows were so overwhelmed with gratitude at the old lady's muniflcenco that they kindly thanked her in their abstraction.

THE DREXEL BROTHERS.

Gnth Gossips AIout 1'hlladetptila's MultlMlllionairo Hanker*. The house of Drexel aroso in Philadelphia somewhat earlier than that of Jay Cooke, commencing with a Tyrolese artist who painted pictures and shaved notes and currency. Upon careful foundations, writes "Oath" in the Cincinnati Enquirer, he raised a house which at the decay of Jay Cooke seized upon many great occasions and, drawing in such men as Mr. Mc^gan. of New England, began to play a vast intermediate part between railroads and investment and general financial directions. Tho fortunes of tho three Drexel brothers, though not as largo as some fortunes in New York City, have been in tho aggregate probably 825.000,000 to $."0,000,000. These bankers wero wise in drawing young blood into their departments and buying experience as princes formerly bought great military commanders. The Drexels have recently absorbed the Stock Exchange of Philadelphia into their huge marble block which they have put up on Chestnut street opposite tho old Ilall of Congress, and between that and the Bank of tho United States, which still stands and is the American custom-house. A portion of that ground was covered by tho Philadelphia library which Franklin founded and before which his statue stood. 1 know of no American city whoro the lawyers' otlices seem to extend so many miles as in Philadelphia they commence down by the old and now offeto Stock Exchange on Third street and can be followed up Walnut street nearly to liroad. The civil war finding Philadelphia far out upon its frontier, since Baltimore sulked at the recovery or the Union, electrified tho former city, absorbed all its functions, and hence to the present day the polities of Pennsylvania is as much directed by tho war on the one side as the politics of Virginia by the opposite side.

POLITENESS IN CORE A Peculiar Experience of an American Lady In Seoul.

The natives in tho East who have become familiar with foreigners and their customs take very readily to the custom of railing—and eating—on New Year's day, and one lady hail a very peculiar experience with a nativo official in Seoul last year.

Sho was keeping "open house," and had made some preparation for receiving her guests in the proper manner. Among other things, she had prepared with her own hands a very excellent cake, which sho expected to distribute in littlo bits to all who might favor her with a call. A party of native gentlemen arrived, and, having given one of them a cup of tea, sho placed this flno cake beforo him with an invitation to help himself. Sho then went with tho others to another room, and was gone some time. When she returned sho saw to her horror that her beautiful cako had all but disappeared down tho throat of tho poor fellow, who bad tried his best to do tho polite thing—according to his country's customs—and not loave any of tho food set beforo him, thus showing his appreciation of tho host's table and hospitality. Tho lady's vexation was vanished by a feeling of commiseration for tho miserablo man, who seemed to bo very much in need of an emetic just then. It is said this call was his first ar.d last on that day, as ho doclared to a friend that foroignors must bo all stomach if thoy could go from houso to house and do justice to tho hospitality of each.

ENGAGED BY TELEPHONE.

The ProfcMor Popped tho Question Just Few Minutes Too Late. It appears, says tho New York Tribune, that there is a young lady living in Detroit who for some time has been the recipient of the attentions of two young men, one a professor in tho State University at Ann Arbor and tho other a traveling salesman for a New York wholesale hardware house, whoso route extends through Michigan and parts of Canada. One day last week tho New Yorker arrived in Detroit lato in tbe afternoon, and, of course, immediately started making tho rounds of the retail hardware dealers, with tho laudable purpose of selling each a good stock for tho winter beforo the representative of any rival house should put man appearanco. He had hoped to call on the object of his affections in the evening, but business was good, and eight o'clock found him busy trying to induce a Woodward avenue dealer to take six dozen axes, four dozen grindstones and a half car-load of wooden pails. At this stage of the proceedings a younger brother of the young lady dropped in to buy a now jack-knife, and mentioned casually that the Ann Arbor professor was up at the house. It instantly occurred to the enterprising hardware and cutlery salesman that tho professor had come for no other purpose than to lay his heart at the feet of the young lady he himself adored. For a moment there was a struggle in his breast, but he speedily got control of himself and decided that he could not possibly leave the store, as the dealer was just on the point of deciding to take tho pails. Hut the thought of giving up the lady who had been for months constantly in his mind, waking and sleeping, was unbearable. Light suddenly dawned on him. Handing the dealer a circular explaining the merits of his new doublebladed chopping-knives, he requested the use of the merchant's telephone for five minutes, stepped to it and rang up tho central office.

A momont later the teleplione-bell at the residonce of the young lady rang sharp and decisive. Tho professor had been there for an hour talking pleasantly of the grand educational work thoy were doing in the department of fossilology at Ann Arbor. When tho bell rang, the lady's father being absent (he was a physician), sho excused herself and went into the adjoining room to answer it. The professor heard her step to the telephone and say "Y'es," make a short pause and say "Yes" again. Then there was a short pause and he heard her say: "Why—why—really, this is sudden." Then there was a still longer pause and he heard her say "Y'es," softly, then "Good-bye," and sho hung up the receiver and camo back into the room. The professor moved closer to the fire and remarked that it was a chilly ovening, and he thought it was going to snow, and then resumed his talk about tho great work at the university. Fifteen minutes later there was a ring at tho front door-bell. Tho lady answered it and a district messenger boy handed her a plain gold ring, which she slipped on her Anger and returned to the parlor. ".Miss ," said tno professor, five minutes later, "I want to ask you an important question this evening. Excuse me for putting it bluntly, but will you bo my wife?" Hut we need go no further with this. Two minutes later the professor went down tho front steps, shook his fist at the telephone wire and took tho S:45 train for Ann Arbor.

TURNS HAIR BLACK.

Even White Hair Al{?rwl by the Use of Jnhorundi. Dr. Prentiss has related to tho London Times a remarkable occurrence following the use of jaborandi. The patient was a woman aged 72, who had snow-white hair for twenty years. For the symptoms of commencing uriunii. due to contracted kidney, 20 or minims of extract of jaborandi was prescribed several times daily.

The drug was taken from October, 1SSG, to February, ltvSS. During the autumn of 18*7 the eyebrows wero becoming darker, and til" hair of the head became also darker in patches. This continued until the patches of hair were quite dark, contrasting with the natural patches of snow-white hair. The hair did not universally change before her death.

In 1SS1 Dr. Prentiss had published another case of kidney disease-—pyolo-ne-phritis—treated with pilo-earpino. The hair of the patient, a lady aged twenty-five, changed from light blondo to black under the influence of the drug. The pilo-carpine was administered hypodermically (one-sixth of a grain) twenty-two times in the course of two months tho dose was then increased. In ono month after commencing tho treatment the hair changed from a light blonde to a chestnut brown four months later it was "almost a pure black." It is satisfactory to find that eight years afterward tho hair is again a dark brOwn.

Dr. l'rcntiss ascribes the phenomenon to the jaborandi and its active principle, pilo-carpine. Cases where, as tho result of tho influence of tho nervous system, in pain or fright, tho hair has changed color, aro pathological curiosities. So littlo is known, however, of tho physiological influenco of tho nervous system over tho growth and nutrition of hair, that it is at present quito impossible to understand how a drug administered internally can alter tho color of tho hair. It would be interesting to learn from other practitioners who have used jaborandi or pilo-carpine for an extended period whether any change in tho color of hair has been noticed.

'1 hey Never Fall.

J. X. Harris, 3 Fulton Markot, New York Uity, says: "I have boon usiDg Brandreth's Pills for the last ton yoars. Thoy area wonderful medicine. There is nothing equal to them as Blood Purifiers and Liver Regulators. But I wish to state how remarkably thoy cure rheumatism and how easily I was affected by rhou mutism of the legs. My business (wholesalo fish dealer) naturally leads me to damp places. I was so bad I could not walk, and at night I suffered fearfully I tried Balsams, Sarsaparillas and all kind of tinctures, Jnit they did me no good. I was afraid of being a cripple. I finally commenced using Brandreth's Pills. I took two every night for ten nights, then I began to improve. 1 continued taking them for forty days and I got entirely well. Now, whenever sick I take Brandreth's Pills, They never fail."

Brandreth's Pills aro the oldest, safestand best blood purifier and purgative. They aro purely vegetable, therefore harmless. They always produce the same effect. Other purgatives require increased doses and finally cease aoting altogether. A course of one or two of Brandreth's Pills taken eaoh night is a positive oure for constipation, headache ond all bilious disorders.

Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug and medioine store, either plain or sugar coated.
