THE SOAP INDUSTRY.

This paper is ever ready to chronicle the success of home industries and to aid if possible providing they are deserving of success in building up and extending their trade. The exportation of material in its raw or unmanufactured state is becoming less every year. A few years ago we were large exporters of tallow and imported it again manufactured into eoap. But it was aloss to this Province and a benefit to none but the foreiga manufacturer, It is certainly fa great advantage to have our surplus tallow manufactured here. We learn from the manager of the Charlotte~ town Soap Wooks that his factory will henceforth require every pound of taliow & produced iD this Province to meet the rapidly- increasing demand for his soap. Yet this Province still imports soap, from other parts of Canada and from Eagland. That soap made in England after paying freight and duty charges can be sold here in competition with our soap seems ex- traordinary. But upon enquiry the explanation is clear, The soap imported from England is not made from tallow. All the best soaps made in Exgland are from tallow but they are never brougit here in competition with our soaps. That would be impossible. The imported English suap is made from cocoanut oil. The Encyclopaedia Britannica Vol XXI page 203, states that Coccanut soap is u‘ca!ly prepared by the socalled cold method in which the fat heated to 89°¢ is treated with a calculated quantity of caustic soda solution of sp, gr, 1.350 the two con- Stituents being stirred together till the settling and hardening of the combination prevents further ag « tation. The property that cocoanut soap possesses of absorbeng lrage pro- portions of water and yet presenting the appearancd of a hard solid body makes the material a favorite basie for highly sophisticated compounds, in whichZwater, sulphate of soda and other alkaline solu~ tions, soluble silicates, fuller’s earth, starch, ete., play anfimyortent and bulky part. Cocoa-nut evap is litle prepared by itself, but it forme a pr-ncipal ingredi- ent in compound soaps meant to imitate

curd and yetlow scaps, From this it is evident that coeoa nut soap is cap~ able of much adulteration and yet

from its solid appearance be very taking with the consumer. In the soap trade, as in everything else, iu a Province such as this, there is a continual conflict between prejudice and reason. Itis by no means an imaginary fight nor is it of ordinary magnitude, Inthe art and trade of soap- making it is perhaps more csnspicucts than in any other line. Itis that magical word “imported” that causes all tue trou- ble. In th’s province we can make as good quality of soap as and in some grades much better. Yet, in spite of that fact a soap bearing a foreign name will with many have the preference, Some of our trailers have a pre ference for foreign scaps although ‘hey know little and often nothing of the real merits of the unfavored Island brands. This is simply from favor for the on2 and yrejudice against the other.

trader should buy a brand of soap for less

that the soap is made from pure tallow

saponification of the tallow, or in

soap is made from tallow and is neutral. But this, we fear, is n-ver exacted by the trader. If everyone iusisted upen using the

cheapest and best article they wou'd find that the chespest and best soap for the Laundry is

& pure neutral goap made from tallow. The manager of the Charlottetown Soap Works does not fear foreign competition. In fact, he claims to be able to make and sell a first-class article of soap much

cheaper than it can be _ imported. But what he does fear ia competiton with adulturated imported

soaps. Consumers could solve the diffi- enity by submitting samples of soap to a practical chemist and get a complete analysis which perhaps involves more trouble and expense than most consumers care to incur. There are however for-

mulas which by the exercise of a little care and patience will enable anyone to do his own #0ap analysis.

THE SANCY DIAMOND.

Inthe ordinary course of events Miss

| | |

Pauline As:or will some day become |

possessor of the most famous and mag- nificent diamond owned outside of a crown treasure. The gem in question is the world famous Sancy diamond, owned by her father, and were it to appear among the jewels worn at any court function or royal drawing room it would entirely throw into the shade every oth- er gem there except the Kohinoor, which the queen always wears on state occasions as a brooch.

The Sancy is a stcne which is pos-

sessed of a remarkable history. Weigh- ing about 54 carats, it at one time

formed part of the crown jewels of Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy, and on his death in battle m Switzer- land was found set either in his helmet or sword hilt. The Swiss sold it to the French king of the day, and from that time forth it became oue of the crown jewels of France.

i¢ disappeared at the time of the revo- Intion, reappeared at the restoration

TY Aas

and at the time of the second reyolu- ticn in 1830 passed by purchase into the possessicn of Anatole Demidoff, the

Muscovite millionaire. It was worn for

@ time by Demidoff’s wife, Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, but he took it from her before their separation and

then bequeathed it to his nephew, Paul Demidoff. The latter sold it in the six- ties for the sum of $200,000, a ridicu- small price, to the late Sir anisetjce Jejeehobhoy, the Parsee mil- lionaire and philanthropist of Bombay. After his demise his heirs put it once nore in the market, and it was pur- chased by William Waldorf Astor by private contract, uo mention being made cf the price paid. —Philadelphia Limes.

SENT TO SWFAR AGAINST PA.

He was a mere stripling of a lad. He might have been 7 years of age or he might have been 9. Nobody could tell by looking at his face. The only mark of certainty about the youthful counte- nance was the sure sign that some of his ancestors had come from old Ire- land. The little fellow walked hastily into the office of the warrant clerk of Recorder Finnegan’s court. He did not

| notice the four persons standing in line

waiting to get affidavits made out against some bothersome relatives, but the y..uth pushed through the crowd and d:sengaged the attention of the

| clerk with this odd demand:

‘“‘T want to make an affidavit against my pa,’’ said be and pushed his little red head around the side of the desk.

‘*You want what?’’ queried the clerk.

“I want to swear against pa,’’ said the boy again.

**What bas your pa done?’

‘‘He has just been in a prizefight with ma.’’

‘*Well, why don’t your ma swear ont the warrant against pa? My boy, you are too young; you won’t fill the bill.’”’

‘“‘My ma can’t come, and she wanted nie to fix it up for her.’’

‘*Why could she not come?’’ asked the clerk, getting interested in the youngster’s story. He conJd not imag- ine why the wife would not be only too willing to swear out the warrant.

‘“My pa and ma they got in the fight in the kitchen. That is how it hap- pened. My pa made a drive for her, but didn’t land, and then my ma sbe grabbed up the rolling pin and floored the old man. She is vow setting on him, holding him down, and that is why she couldn’t come to sweur against him. She sent me.’’—New Oricaus Times-Demoerat.

GERYVAN EDUCATION.

The Germans are the most thoroughly educated people in the world. What they know they know well.

A fellow traveler had taken his de- gree of B. A. in the University of Penn- sylvania and goue to that of Berlin, where he spent three years. Subse- quently traveling in Switzerland, he met a young German whose range and accuracy of knowledge weee simply be- yond that of any man of the same age he had ever met. In many walks and

talks the German had absolutely pumped |

the American dry, while his own store of knowledge had only been touched. **Ach,’’ said the German student one day, ‘‘I shall never get my degree, it is 80 difficult, it is so much, so hard, so long! I must have patience. I used to see you at the University of Berlin, and, forgive me the question, how did you get into the university?’’

‘“‘Why, I was admitted on my B. A. from the University of Pennsylyania,’’ replied the American.

‘‘Mein Gott!’ gasped the German scholar. ‘‘I knew it must be some way like that.’’

No better comment on the relative standards of knowledge and the thor- oughness of the method by which it is pursued could be asked.—Philadelphia Times.
