When an article has been sold for 23 years, and its sales have increased each year, in spite of competition and cheap imitations, it must

have superior quality and absolute uniformity and purity. Dobbins' Electric Soap has been

constantly made and sold since 1869, more each

year. Can the sale of an inferior article con

stantly increase for 23 years? This soap is to

day as ever, the best, the purest, family soap made. It contains no adulteration of any kind, and is intrinsically the cheapest soap made

because it will go so far, and do such perfect work. Ask your grocer for it.

DON'T t0 rea(^ care^u^y ̂e directions around each bar, also what is said on the inside wapper. Be sure that our

PAIL name appears on each, as there are many inferior imita

tions palmed off as the genuine Dobbins' Electric. None genuine without the name on the wapper of

THE ARMED PEACE.

by ida whipple benham.

I.

The jaws of death are holden for awhile ;

The cannon sulks and frowns, his throat is dumb ;

The sword hides in the sheath ; the bullet's hum

Is spent and silenced. See ! the harvests smile,

And all the troops of summer flowers defile

Down war's old fields, where oft the eager drum

Sent the swift challenge wide, "We come ! we

come ! "

Timing the march for many a weary mile.

Concord to-day?peace reigns o'er all the land;

Yet how and wherefore ? By an accident

Of easy and fortuitous circumstance ?

Doth lazy war but rest his mail?d hand ?

Is the sword's fury stayed an hour, not spent ?

Is peace the happy fortune of a chance ?

IL

Biding their time the polished bayonets, In idle ranks, with haughty menace glow,

Serried and close as cornfields, row on row

Waiting for harvest. Not a sword forgets,

Nor bomb, nor swift torpedo ; slyly whets The rapier in his sheath?well doth he know

The coals of war come quickly to a glow ;

And still the cannon crowd the parapets.

Ready and waiting?keen for sharp dispute !

Blind man, thou temptest sore the lightning's stroke,

Thou dost invite the vulture's wanton brood.

Though for a day their hungry throats be mute, To-morrow thou mayst hear the direful croak?

The heart the lightning's aim, the vulture's food.

Mystic, Conn.

A PERMANENT TRIBUNAL OF ARBITRATION. BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE, D. D.

Address given at the Mohonk Arbitration Conference, June

6, 1895.

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen?The words which the president has just used are a good abridgment of my speecb,?a Permanent Tribunal. The illustration which Mr. Abbott used this morning is perfect ; it cannot

be pressed too far,?the illustration of the United States of America. The United States of America is the oldest, as it is the largest and most successful, peace society which the world has ever known. All these different

societies of which Mr. Trueblood spoke this morning, however successful they have been, are utterly inferior to the remarkable association known as *4 United States of America." Beginning with thirteen independent States, proud of their independency, having very strong

grounds for alienation from each other, and including afterward the acquisitions from Louisiana and from the

Spanish territory,?acquisitions which mix the Latin race

with the Teutonic race, and bring in the Catholic religion to mix with the Protestant religion ;?in the face of all

the difficulties which such a condition of things presents,

you have the extraordinary spectacle of one hundred and six years of peace, broken only by the calamity of the

Civil War. That calamity may be considered separately,
