THE GREAT “ COMFORT SOAP" EXHIBIT That Comfort Soap is “all right" with the public, and is used "all over" the Dominion, is evidenCed by the great throng of people to be found at all times gathered around the exhibit. As usual. the exhibit is one of the most unique and attrac- tive of the Fair. The mammoth make of Comfort Soap, (the {NOS-Sing {of the weight of which entitles the ducky one to an elegant Palmer Up~ right Piano) is scanned from every possible standpoint. The mental cf- fort. to "size it up" in pounds and ,ourzces, calls a serious expression to many n. laughing face, for the mo- ment. It. costs nothing to guess; and everybody has the privilege of trying for this valuable Piano, which is also on exhibition at the stand. Nineteen other beautiful and valu- able prizes, as consolation prizes, are to be awarded to the nineteen guessâ€" ers next nearest to the correct one- The Mayor of Toronto has kindly consented to weigh the huge cake of Soap at the Comfort Soap exhibit on the last day of the Fair and the result and names of the lucky guess- ers will be published. The exhibit is also made artistic and attractive by the display of many of the handsome pictures and other articles of \irtue which are given away as souvenirs for Comfort Soup wrappers. These presents are. so much appreciated and sought af- ter, that the Manufacturers have to carry a. stock equal to that of many a large departmental store, and the show rooms at 52 Wellington St., W. Toronto, and at 1676 Notre Dame St., Montreal are veritable Art Emporiums well worth a visit of inspection. Comfort Soap in use, and in popuâ€" lar favor, has no competitor; it stands alone as the great family and household Soap of the Dominion, Ind its use is rapidly extending to ivory household in every town and hamlet in the country. It is gratifying to the manufacturâ€" prs to know, that their efforts to make a laborâ€"saving and pure soup, I. soap which is the best economy for every household use, are being so universally appreciated, as it is to the millions of patrons who use it, who benefit by it, and who always get the beautiful premiums in exâ€" :hange for the wrappers, which they send in to the wareâ€"rooms at 52 Wellington St. W.. Toronto. The rapidity with which the deâ€" mand for Comfort Soap is increasâ€" ing is simply phenominal, and the Company is constantly adding to :heir factories and facilities, in tryâ€" mg to keep pace with it. As is sometimes triter said of it, "'Its the Comfort of Canada.” and its almost universal use seems to bear out the happy conceit. __ _._.+_.. SPREAD B Y Iâ€"‘ENCILS. One of the medical inspectors oi :chools in the city of Paris, which Iistr'ict is suffering from an epidemic of diptheria, has discovered that Infection among the school children ls principally spread by pencils. These pencils, which are municipal property, are in certain schools disâ€" tributed to the scholars every morn- ing and collected at night. In this way one child is constantly getting 1, pencil which has been previously used by another child. When it is remembered that children habitually put their pencils in their mouths, it Is easy to see how diptheria spreads. The inspector has sent in a report to the authorities asking that each child should have a pencil of his or her own for the future. FELL INTO WRONG HANDS. Some time ago an amorous young man sent a letter to a German lady, and this postscript was added :â€" "That my darling may make no mistake, remember that I will wear It light pair of trousers and a dark, cutaway coat. In my right hand l will carry a small cane, and in my left a cigar.â€"â€"Yours ever, Adolphe." The father replied courteously, stating that his (laughter had given him authority to represent her at the appointed place at the time igreed on. His postscript was as follows 2â€"- "Dot mine son may make no mishâ€" dakes.

The first application of X-rays to industry is in tanning leather. The use of storage batteries to fur- nish the entire motive power for an electric road has not been successful. 0n Thirtyâ€"fourth street, in New York the conducting wire or bar with trol- ley or sliding contact is taking their place. That a great majority of all deaths occur between 1 and 8 o‘clock a.in. was shown by the record of 5,000 cases presented to the British Mediâ€" cal association by Dr. I-Iaviland. Forty per cent. more deaths occur in the fifth hour of the morning thanl in the tenth hour. The Xâ€"ray operators at Guy‘s hos- pital, London, where the most cxâ€". tensive use has been made of X-rays in the treatment of disease, suggests that the severe disturbances report- cd by Mr. Edison as coming from the X-rays are really from the ultra violet rays, for in their large experiâ€" ence in the application of X-rays in. skin diseases no such accidents have occurred. â€"â€"â€"â€"+ SMALLâ€"SIZED JAPS SQUAT. of Recently the editor "Chouoâ€" Koron,” a journal published at Tok- yo, determined to find out why the Japanese, as a rule, are of lower sta~ ture than the natives of other counâ€" tries, and, after spending consider-l able time at the task, he arrived at the conclusion that the reason is beâ€" cause from time immemorial they have been accustomed to squat on mats in Turkish fashion instead of l sitting down on chairs, as Ameriâ€"i cans and Europeans do. The Jap-: anese method of sitting. he says, in- terferes with the free circulation of the blood, and, naturally, prevents the limbs from becoming thoroughly developed. As a proof that he is right, he draws attention to the fact that the boys in Japan at the presâ€" ent day are taller by five or six cen- timetres than their ancestors were at a similar age, and he maintains that the reason is because the formâ€" er, when they attend school, are obliged to sit on benches, whereas the latter squatted while they learn- ed their lessons. That the Japanese ought to be taller than they are is the editor’s opinion. and he has ap- pealed to the Government to prohibâ€" it Squatting. ____+_.__ SPIDERS AS AIRSHIPS. Spiders cannot actually fly, but the young of many species are excellent aeronauts. When, on some summer's day, these little adventurers prepare to start, they stand on a high point of vantage, facing the wind. Then the tip of the tail is raised, and lit- tle spinnerets emit threads which are caught and carried .by the breeze. These vary in length with the weight of the spiders, and are buoyant enough to bear their owners aloft for a considerable distance. The glitâ€" tering filaments which are thus spun, and ultimately settle on the ground and bushes, are familiar to us all as “gossamer,” and are produced by many species of these most interesting insects. Some spiders, again, are exâ€" pert leapers. A beautiful example of this sort has been found at Sydney, New South Wales. It has a curious [lap on either side of its body, which can be extended like a kite or para- chute. Aided by this, it can readily cover short distances, though we cannot speak of this method as real flight. +___ Lover's Y-Z (Wise Head) Disinfect- ant Soap Powder dusted in the bath, softens the water and disinâ€" facts.

There are now in Milan an Irish Canadian and his wife, named O'Mal- Icy, though the lady is Dutch by birth, who between 1897 and 1902 claim to have walked round the world, covering on foot :1 distance of 31,200 miles without any reâ€" sonrces other than such as they could obtain as they journeyed. They .produCe no fewer than twentyâ€"seven volumes of documents attesting their wanderings. At present they are organizing in Milan :1 series of lecâ€" tures, which they hope may yield money enough to carry them back to Canada. .4...- A rolling stone does not make much of an uphlil fight.

Dr. Monnier, chief surgeon at Joseph's HospitalkParis, told London Academy of Medicine a re- markable case which had come unâ€" der his notice recently. The patient was a stunted, half-wittcd youth of twentyâ€"two years. He complained of severe pains in the abdominal region, and an operation revealed the pres- ence in the stomach of no less than eight silver teaspoons. a large threeâ€" pronged fork, a irelal nameâ€"plate, two drilling pins. a horn comb, Sevâ€" eral keys and nails, and a variety of other small articles, weighing altoâ€" gether 23f) grammes. Although it was afterwards ascertained that this miscellaneous assortment of iron- niongery must have been swallowed fully six months ago, the stomach [and lawn practically uninjured. The article were all removed and the patient is now able to take food, his general condition being excellent. St. the .u- .. r. u “1‘ _ éf‘,|._ museum I WIVMPSLVHU‘Uh. :‘v his asked it alone.

There is nothing more assuring to the traveler than his knowledge of the fact that he is traveling on a firm roadbed, upon which is laid the heaviest of steel rails, made true in all their curves, and that the train which carries him is of the highest standard of excellence known to rail-l roads and is being guided to its des- tination by experienced minds. These are the conditions which become ap- parent. to the frequent traveler on The Wabash Line, and which have made that line justly famous. The Wabash has its own rails direct to the World's Fair Grounds in Saint Louis. All Wabash through trains stop at World's Fair Station (For- sytli) in order to give passengers an opportunity to View from the trains the World's Fair Buildings. J. Richardson, Dist. Pass.
