CHAPPED hands result from two cmi;n. Tnn niurh alkali in the
soap, which draws the natural oil from the skin, leaving it harsh,
dry, and liable to crack, or the fats, from which the soap is made,
are not properly combined with the alkali, so. from its greasy nature,
it is impossible to rinse off the soap after wishing. Prof. Leeds,
I'll. D., Stevens Institution of Technology, says: "The Ivory So
while strongly cleansing, leaves the skin soft and pleasant to the
touch, instead of harsh, uncomfortable, and liable to chap."
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to ba "ust as good as the 'Ivory1',"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.

Peace and Prosperity Together
Rule the World.
AN AVERAGE TWELVEM0NT1L
1888 Did Not llrlng Any Great War Upon
in Earth, and, Thouaii There Were
Crimes, Disasters and Convulsions of
Ntttnre, end the Hand of Death Hal
Not Dcon Idle, Mankind's Progress Gen
erally Has Heen Onward end Upward,
Tho year 18SS has been comparatively un
eventful, and yet au em of continuous
progress and almost unbroken prosperity
throughout the world. True, tuere have
been local troubles bere and there an Inter
national dispute in Bamoa, an Imbroglio In
Haytl, quarrels in eastern Europe and small
wars In Asia, raids by American Indians and
Insurrections among West India negroes.
Truo, also, there have been more Important
disputes in more Llghly organized societies;
cabinet crises In Franco and Spain, a change
of rulers In Germany and n continuation of
the long and wearying contest In Ireland.
But all have got through tho year with less
trouble thnii any oxpected at its beginning.
Ui calamities caused by great natural
forces there have been comparatively few:
the greatest were the floods and earthquakes
In China, hleu cuusod the death of at least
hundreds of thousands of persons and
reduced ten times as many to extreme
poverty and suffering. In Japan occurred a
most astonishing phenomenon. A lake on a
mountain broke through iuton volcano, the
whole upper balf of tho mountain was blown
into tho air by tho steam thus created, and
in its fall buried a number of small villages
and Mveral hundred persons. In tbe United
States there were terriblo snow storms early
in the year, causing groat loss of life; and in
the gulf states tbe yellow fever caused some
loss of life late in the seasou, Bu ticking the
year as a whole thcro has been unusual ex
emption, there has been no blight upods the
grain, no murrain uku the cattle; no general
pestilence bos auy where fallen upon mankind,
and the civilized nations have had no wars.
In the line of inventions and publio im
provements the year bos been a good one.
In every part of tho civilized world railroads
and telegraphs havo extended, all tho indus
trial arts have flourished, and tho finer hu
manities have dcvelojicd unchecked. In
short, tho year 1SSS must rank in history as
ono of thoso in which mankind are fairly
happy because thoy are not making exciting
history.
Following will bo found a carefully com
piled nnd classified record of tho more lm
jiortant n cuts of 15S3. Of course it has been
found Impossible lu the space available to In
clude everything worthy of note, but it Is
believed that tbe truo relative values ot the
year's doings and happenings has been ob
fcerved with tolerable accuracy.
