M'iclit fie ltciisows l liy You Use It to (Jut the Dilt Oil'. Jlost persons have very Indistinct Ideas of the manner In which soap acts in removing (lit t. This Is not so simple a matter as it may seem, for even chem istu have been more or less puzzled by It; although there Is now substantial agreement among them as to the chem istry of the procefcs. One of the expla nutlcns of the cleansing action of soap is due to a Fiigdcstion made by no less fnm.iu- a man uf science than Professor W. Stanley Jevons. It Is guietally considered that the ell'cacy of soar depends mainly upon Its decomposition, when It Ii mixed with water, Into an alkali and a fatty acid. The alkali thus .n free dlssovles the gieuse by which th dirt Is attached to the surface to be cleaned, nnd the water then carries the dirt off. Hut this 13 not nil; the fatty acid fioni tho t-oap neu tinlizcs any five alkali remaining after the ljosenlr.g of the dirt, und thus pre vents the alkali from c.ttacklng the cieaiiFcd huiface Itself. This is. very Important when soap Is applied to the skin, and tho painful effects produced b suine varieties of soap are due to tho fact that they posbess an excess of free alkali more than the fatty acids can neutralize. 15ut there aro other factors concerned In the action ot soap. Its cohesive pow er, upon which the formation of soap bubbles and lather depends, enables It i to R.i her up tho dirt as It Is loosened by ! the alkali. Then, too, the process Is as sisted by the cuilous property which soap po?osses of producing a great agi tation among solid particles suspended In water. Till, of course, tends to the ready removal of tho dirt after It haa i bee: detached from tho surface, and It Is this action that Professor Jovons has pointed out as being one of the elements of tho cleans. ng power ot soap. Youth's Companion. I'LVIUS at vi: vl-ti.iii:. It Is Not Hiirni.til but UrucHcial to Drink nt vul . A great deal of misapprehension Is often found to exist In the popular mind In regard to matters of eating and di inking; the cause of this to some extent Is to he traced to old-time sayings, which have come down to us In the form of a concentrated Infusion of somebody's opinion upon a subject of which he or she was wofully Ignor ant. One of these mlsuppreheusion- to which wo may refer Is.ns to the . Juilinisnoss of taking fluid with m I One frequently hears it laid down ! a maxim that "it Is bad to drink 'i your meals, it dilutes the gal Juice." Upon this matter Mr. Hutchinson narks In the last number of his Al ii ives: "I observe with pleasure it the verdict of general experience id common sense has been confirm' I by scientific experiment in the ninti 9 of taking: fluid with meals. Dr. Tt-v. O. Stratelvsky, of St. Petorsburf. after clal orate trials, has found thM fluids materially assist the assimilation, ot protelds, and announces the following conclusion, which It Is to be hoped no futuro experiments will controvert on tho whole, tho widely spread oustom of taking fluids during or Just before one' meals proves to be rational and fully Justified on strict scientific ground. To take fluids with the meals Is almost as Important an Hdlunat to dlgeatlon ns ts the mastication of solid I foods preparatory to swallowing It." 308 -"Lackawanna MILLINERY OPENING WEDNESDAY.

I lint Miss IJ I'Kinsou'., Attorney it. IMItor of Tho Trlbjne. Sir: So many kind Inquiries aro made of us regaiu.i.g the etfect and meaning of the icrulet In the Dlc.'.lnson case thut vi) write this to Infoim the public who may read your paper. The law us generally understood by tho bench and bar of this country 13 to thu effect that the mu'mbers of one's 1am- lly, much less compaiatlvc strangers or neighbors, have no right to forclb.y re move one to an Insane asylum except In a caoe of 1o1lmiI Insanity, where tho sub ject Is dangerous to himself or others. If tho juiy In tho Dickinson ia3e had been so churged by tho Judge. It Is evi dent that a verdict for the plaintiff In whatcer amount, would have still left In doubt the question whether tho plain tiff was Banc, unbalanced or harmlessly Insane. It would only hnvo determined that she was not violently Insane. Itut the court's charge presented to the Jurj the following questions, quoting Ihtm verbatim: "It will then bo well for you In tho llrst Instance, and before you take up other rvolnts to settle the main (mention: Was the plaintiff In a sound mental con dition when removal to the nFjium? Was she then In a healthy mental state? V.n she in the full possession of her menial faeultlis? Or was her Intellect disor dered? Tho question Is not whether r.ho wai violently Insane, but wns her mind tinbalanceu? Was she laboilng under mental derangement? If Ehe was mental ly deranged, of unround mind and te quired care and treatment In a hospital or asylum, where the lnrano are detained, her removal by the defendants from the Dlcklmon house to the rtate bopltal was Justifiable, notwithstanding tho physi cian's certificate was defective." Thus the verdict rendered for plaintiff establishes, In the only and Ilnal tribunal which can pass upon the facts In this case, tho supremo contention of tho plaintiff that her mind has never been nflcteri. it Is, therfore, more satlfactory than If ho charge had been moro favorable to tho plaintiff. Tho amount of tho verdict Is Incon sistent, but Its effect Is not the lc?n eer taln and conclusive. Such Ineonsistf nc verdicts ate oidlr.arlly rendered by Juries where by reascn of one or two hesitating Jurors a compromle Is agreed upon ivhtjh, without doing 'nil Jurtlce, does substantial Justice In petting the questions of fact.
