Women who for years have been careful of their com plexions would never, under any circumstances, wash the face in soap, as it was said to roughen and coarsen the skin. Now, that Ivoty Soap has been invented, this idea is exploded, and a well-known physician in the metropolitan profession recommends his women pa tients to use it freely every day, lathering the skin well. He states that none but the most beneficial results will be effected by th'.a method of improving the skin. He holds with considerable plausibility that the pores of the face become as much clogged by grease and dirt as the hands or any other portion of the body. And if soap is considered a necessary purifier in the bath, its needs must be felt equally on the face. By an abundant and regular lathering the facial pores, he claims, are kept open, clean, free from the clogging matter that produces unsightly blackheads, acne, pimples, and a pure, healthy, fresh and brighter complexion is the resultant. Not mincing matters, he says that the trouble with most women who have sallow, pasty skins is, that from year's end to year's end they never have a really clean face." Brackljm EaU. A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory'i" they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine.

All Ohio Cavern Tint Itlvali That or Ken tucky In Wnndarrul Fratnrva. A rival to tlio groat Mammoth cavo boa at Inst boon (Uncovered. Henry Orieudlo, living 011 Limestone Ridge, over the line In Wyandot oounty, wns plowing, wlicn ono of lils horses broke through the earth Into a deep bole. It wns rescued fr6u. Its ponltlon with groat difficulty. Upon oxiunlng the spot Grlendlo found a large hole leading perpendicularly down Into the earth. IIo dropped In a stone, and heard It rumble and rattle tn IU down ward course till the sound died nway In the distance. Sensational reports of this discovery reached this city, and an exploring party wo mode up and drove over to the ridge to ascertain what was at the bottom 'of the Btory and the hole. Tlio party con sisted of half a dozen well known gentle men, who were provided wIUi ropes, lights, fireworks, etc., to make a th6r ough exploration. Hnving llxed every thing in readiness for the descent, the Question arose as to who should first go own. The men looked Into the dark mysterious hole, mentally made a calcu lation an to the probability of finding a nest of rattlesnakes at tlio bottom, and each ono was perfectly satisfied to let several of the others go first. Finally one of the party summoned up sufficient courage and volunteered to make the descent alone. Ac he was low ered down, down, down, tho light Of hla lantern could be seen growing fainter and smaller until a tiny speck was visi ble. After letting out tho rope about 100 feet a faint, mufllod whisper announced that lie hod found solid bottom. The reporter went down next, and finally tlio whole party found itself at the bottom of tho shaft. Tho hole descends through limestone rock all the way down and varies In di ameter from three to thirty feet. Tlio bottom Is dry rock, and the place proved to bo a capacious cavern. Tho-place where tho landing was made was esti mated to be sixty feet In width, and while the celling at that point was low It gradually rose like a dome to the height of fully fifty feet. The floor was very, uneven. Tlio party had not gono a quar ter of a mile when they were suddenly confronted by ayawning chasm, ten feet In width and of an unknown depth. Beyond this Impassable cleft they could see tho roof glittering in the light of their lanterns. Several Roman candlos wore fired into tho space, but tho side walls could not be seen, so that thero is no telling how far tho cave extends in that direction. Tho fireworks revealed numerous stalactites and stalagmites of beautiful formation, whose marble like whiteness glistened and shone resplendent In the vari-colorcd lights. Tlio roof sparkled with a frost llko Incrustation, which reflected tho light from a myriad of shining points as though the wholo dome wero set in dia monds. Retracing thclrsteps for somo distance, the party found to the right a small opeu Ing at the top of tho steep ascent, and, entering it, wero obliged to crawl ou hands and knees for a distance of per haps ten yards. Then tho cavern sud denly opened Into another mammoth chamber, apparently much larger than the first one, and possessing moroBtalac tlto formations. At a great distance from the entrance they camo upon a lako of pure, cold water, as clear as. crystal and of unfathomable depth. Holding the light to tho water, a shining penny was dropped in and its gradual descent watched until It bad fallen apparently fifty feet, when all trace of it was lost. The water of the lake was perfectly still and dead, there being no curront, and no signs of fish ot animal life wero visible. A few shells were picked up on the shores of tho lake, and, being again shut off from further advance, tho party reiraceu tneir steps, uwnlntra were seen In other directions, as though the cavern extended its wings still further, but the fear of losing their way and of the oil In tho lanterns givingout prevented further explorations at present. It is proposed at somo time In the near futuro to mako further examination .going provided with boats, ladders, planks, etc., that the lakes and chasms may not stop the way. Findlay (0.) Cor.

Professor Uigglna descended from a great height In Alexandra park", falling into tho ornamental pond thero, but was unhurt. Tho balloon then went over towards Ilurnage, and, suddenly collapsing, foil, Lennox being killed, Tlio balloon is said to have burst when approaching or jiasslngover Fallowflcld.

A Mr. Linton, who .saw the balloon pass over Pallowfteld, states that at that tlmo he saw tho mnn Lennox out on tho netting which Inclosed the silk portion of the balloon, climbing up to the top of the balloon. Evidently lo had then dis covered that the gas was fast leaving the balloon at the top, and was making a desperate effort to remedy the Injury. When the balloon had descended to n distance of some four or five hundred yards from the ground the silk portion collapsed entirely, and the balloon then presented tho appearance of an elongated cigar. A few seconds later the balloon foil with a terrlfto thud In a field. Two or three men at once rushed to the spot and tried to get the man from beneath the car. Apparently the car had fallen straight on the ground, and the whole of tho upper part of the balloon liad fal len on Lonnor, completely covering him.

Ilescued II I m from a llr, Wllllo Hammer, an 11-year-old son of Benjamin Hammer, had an adventure last week, while herding his father's sheep over In tho 'White river country, that came near proving fatal. The boy had been looking for grouse with n 83 caliber gun, and had just lain down on the ground to rest, when the sheep be came frightened, and on looking to see tho cause of tho commotion a huge cin namon bear was a few paces away fac ing him. Willie fired tho gun at the breast of the bear, which caused him to como for him. Ho turned to run, but had gono only a few steps when ho step ped Into a holo and fell, and on rising and looking around the bear was close to him, and, rising up ou his hind legs, he seized htm and commenced to squeeze him, stopping for breath, tho boy all the while trying to uso a knife which he pulled from Ids' pocket, but with no suc cess, as his arms were.held tightly above the elbow. At this critical time tho dog came up and bit tho bear, causing him to drop the boy, which he did with a blow on tho back of the head with his huge paw, knocking him senseless. This was about 3 o'clock, and when he came to hi senses It was about 0 o'clock. He then gatliered up tho sheep, which had bc como liodly scattered, and went to camp, hi clothes nearly torn off and covored With blood, whip)), by the way, came from tho bear, for tho boy, though very sore and with head badly swollen, did not have a scratch on him, Castleltock Journal.

In tho southern states it sometimes becomes a large tree, sixty or seventy feet high, with' a trunk tliree or four feet In dlatn otcr, and Is an evergreen. It has been suggested by some enthusiasts that this should bo chosen as tho "national flow er," if we must have one.

John Prowley, a young fisherman, whose good naturod habits have made him popular for many miles along tho Susquehanna river, walked into the Per ry county court house the other day and asked for a marriage license.

At first sight the thing looks llko a uniform, and that Is of all the reforms the ono which women will bo least In clined to adopt The sex to which wo owo tho young creatures who change their toilets four times a day In front of the ocean delights only In variety and novelty, Bnd It would prefer to dlo n thousand times rather than wear a cos tume which would appear to bo modeled after that of Its neighbors. The new fashion would last eight days, and then would be thrown asido with disdain. But tho art of dressmakers could add innumerable embellishments to tho mod el which bos just boon described, nnd the Importance of a reform ovidently lies In tho adoption of the breeches, "it sup presses thoso feminine undergarments that frou frou so discreetly, and sweeps away tho black and white skirts that are lifted with such a coquettish gesture when It rains. It abolishes the trains and sweepers that leave a wake of silk and laco behind the majesty of the walker. Certainly there Is left a modest little petticoat, half open, to show the zouave trousers; but It Is the masculine portion of the toilet that seduces, and, If It should triumph, It will bo a step In ad vance toward equality of costumo for tho two sexes.

Do what you will, you cannot get rid of it wherever you go, thero it is staring you in tho face. If you try to turn your back upon it, all along th6 boulevards and tho principal streets are Eiffel tow ers of every size, devoted to every pur pose, from tiny charins for watch chains to largo clocks for halls. If you fly to the country around Purls, there It is at overy turn, looming down from the clouds a nightmare cobweb, hanging In the skies. If your horizon is bounded by tiny suburban gardens, thero again aro miniature Eiffel towers, with little flags on the top, in oxosperatingly bad taste. If a tall woman goes down a Btrcct, tho gamins run after her shout ing: "Mme. Eiffell Mmo. Eiffel!" And, of course, the high notes of tho now so prano, Mme. Melba, soaring Into tho skies up to O Jn alt, are called "des notes Eiffel." Oht who will deliver us from the Eiffel towerl But thero it Is, and ono cannot help looking at it; and thero aro the people swarming like In sects In what seems a mere pieco of iron network; and there are the lifts, in sem blance of small white houses, clinging to tho girders like caterpillars ou a wall, crawling upward and downward. Mur ray's Magazine. How Two Dover Olrlj raid a llet. A couple of Dover's leading belles created a sensation hi this staid old cap! tal tho o'tbor evening by trundling a well known butcher of sporting proclivities down tho entire length of the principal thoroughfare in a wheelbarrow. The young ladles were talking ono day about somo of tho peculiar bets that hud been mado on tho baseball ground that after noon, when the butcher camo along and and joined in the conversation. After insinuating that a lady never paid her wagers if she lost, ho bet that there was a letter awaiting him at tho postofllce, stipulating that if thero wns tho ladles wero to convey him to tho depot, five blocks away, In a grocer's wheelbarrow, while If he lost ho was to treat to ice cream. The young ladies ac cepted tho bet and the trio visited the postofllce. The letter was there. It took the girls just about flvo minutes to bor row the shabbiest looking wheelbarrow In town, and In a trlco they had It beforo the poetofllco, whero by thia time quite a crowd had assembled. The butchor tried hard to beg off, but willing hands dumped him in tho wheel barrow, nnd 0110 of tho maidens seized tho handles. Off thoy went at a rapid gait without regard to tho rider's bodily comfort. Hundreds of persons gatliered to see tho show, but it was the butcher and not tho girls who felt out of place. Beforo they had gono a square ho had offered to buy them everything from a quart of Ice cream to a silk dress apleco If they would let up.

SHE LIKES ORIGINAL'TraYERS. Child Actrete Marcuerlts Fields Objected to "Now I Lajr Mo Down to Sleep." Marguorito Fields Is, without doubt, the most remarkablo child actress in tho country. She Is scarcely 0 years old and has played with Mr. Oliver Byron lu "The Upper Hand," "Tho Insldo Track" and "Across tho Continent," and every where sho is tho leading attraction and gets more recalls than any oao elso on tho bill. Her rendition of comlo songs is her strong point, and her childish troblo is clear enough to fill tho largest hall. Tlio llttlo ono Is full of originality and is always doing things which aro not on the programme. Mr. Byron Bays ho never knows when sho Is going to appear or what sho is going to do. . Onco in tho farco called "Reuben Gluo" sho was standing on a chair hold ing up a loaf of bread ot which sho gazed, exclaiming: "The world Is mine!" Clara Morris' agent was In ono of tho boxes, and Mr. Byron, seeing him, said to tho llttlo girl: "You may get down now, Clara Morris." Instantly tho llttlo ono replied: "I'm not Clara Morris." "Who are you then?" "I'm Ruobcn Glue," she sold, nnd then she sang, "When tho Reubius Nest Again." It la needless to say that tho house camo down. Marguerito has a llttlo dog of which she Is very fond. Sho carries It to tho theatre with her,' and onco sho Inter rupted a very tender breakfast tablo scene between two lovers by marching on tho stage nnd setting' tho dog down among tho dishes. Tho llttlo one Is quick nt repartee and says some very funny tilings, though In her innocence sho Is sometimes rather Irreverent. Once whllo traveling on a sleeping car sho begged to sleep with Mr. Byron. It was late nt night, nfter a long performance, but tho llttlo girl was, to quote Mr. Byron's words, "as fresh as a daisy." "Have you sold your prayers, baby?" askod Mr. Byron. "No, but I'll say 'cm now," sho ro plied, and turning over on her faco sho made a long petition, then putting her arms round Mr. Byron's neck, she said: "Now you say your prayers." "I havo said them." "But I didn't hear you "Well, I certainly said them." "Say them over again, then." "Oh, no," said Mr. Byron. "That wouldn't do. God hasn't tlmo to hear people say their prayers price." "Well, say a little ono just .for me. God won't mind that." In order to satisfy her Mr. Byron be gan to repeat: "Now I loy me down to sleep," when to his surprise Marguerito dropped her devout mood and ex claimed: "Oh, that's a chestnut! Say mo a prayer out of your head." With all her brightness and despito the fact that sho is made bo much of, tho little girl is as natural as a child should be. Sho seems to bo nil unconscious that sho excites applause On ono occasion sho said: "I wish tho peoplo would stop clapping their hands. I wouldn't have to sing so loud then to mako them hoar." Now York Journal. The Flood Cure for lUhlnesn. In a letter received yesterday by Dr. M. Marbury, residing at tho corner of Indejiendcnco nvenuo nnd Locust street, this city, Is related an Incident which is indeed marvelous, and, coming directly as It does, is beyond all doubt true. Tho letter Is from Mr. Frank Marbury, a cousin of Dr. Marbury, who is just re covering from a frightful experience in the Johnstown flood. For seven long hours ho battled with tho waters for hf.i life. Every hour beemed a day, but nt last he was rescued several miles from tho place whero tho hotel had stood. The strange part of tho story is yet to come. Mr. Marbury Is 88 years of ago, nnd for twelve years ho has been entirely bald, and tho topof his head had bocomo quito popular with tho flies as n summer resort. Ho liad used tho wonderful hair restoratives people read about In tho hopes of starting the hair, but all to no purpose; it refused to grow. Two days after the flood he noticed a downy nul etanco all over tho hitherto bald head. As tlmo pasted tho down became hair, which grew remarkably fast, and now has reached tho length of ono inch all over his head. Kansas City Times. Vucattoue MUuted.
