Of what benefit is it to we of this generation to know or to hear from history that two hundred years ago the "Annual Court" at Boston, in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, made a law forbidding the celebration of Christmas under the penalty of five shillings! They did it. But there was Christmas all the same. The great law which underlies the action of the human race, whose deeds are prompted by their convictions, has not failed in this, that they triumphed against all opposition; and today, in the city where the bigoted statute was enforced two hundred years ago, and where the poor persecuted "Episcopalians" were compelled to celebrate their Christmas in back rooms and in private, with ?[mollified] merriment and curtained candles, the entire population of the city and the suburbs are celebrating Christmas. Today it is the rule, and the descendants of the persecuted Episcopalians and Quakers are willing to allow their neighbors and fellow citizens the privileges which were denied to their ancestors-[S.B.N., in Norfolk county Gazelle. A PAMPHLET compiled under the authority of a Board of Delegates of the American Israelites shows that there are 230,000 Jews in the United States, including 80,500 in New York, 18,500 in California, 18,000 in Pennsylvania, 11,500 in Ohio, 12,600 in Illinois, 10,300 in Maryland, 7,500 in Louisiana, 7,800 in Missouri, and smaller numbers in other States. Oregon has 868, Nevada 780, Utah 258, Washington Territory 115, Idaho 51, and when the statistics were collected, several years since, Arizona had only forty-five Israelites. "A PAIR OF worsted slippers," remarked Jones, as he picked himself up from the icy walk and rubbed his bruises, to Pendergast, who was engaged in the same laudable undertaking.-[Boston Transcript. A LOSING JOKE. A prominent physician of Pittsburgh said jokingly to a lady patient who was complaining of her continued ill health, and of his inability to cure her, "Try Hop ?[Billers]!" The lady took it in earnest and used the billers, from which obtained permanent health. She now laughs at the doctor for his joke, but he is not so well pleased with it as it cost him a good patient-?[Harrisburgh or Pittsburgh] Patriot RELIABLE TESTIMONY. Where testimonials give the residence of the parties it is an easy matter for any person to verify them. Thousands of people from all parts of the Pacific Coast can and have expressed the opinion that there is no other article in the world equal to Phosphate Soap for common toilet use. A great many people have tested this soap for skin diseases. Among others we give the following from parties who have thoroughly tested Phosphate Soap: Oakland, Cal. [California], April 5, 1880. Standard Soap Company-Gents: Some two or three months ago, I had a boy about two years old that had suffered for a year with a severe eruption on the head and face, caused by teething. The child was in such misery that it would often be awakened out of sleep by the severe itching. He would then scratch his head and face until the blood ran from the scabs. We tried everything we could find, but nothing seemed to give any permanent relief until we tried Phosphate Soap. Before we had used one cake, the child's head and face were entirely healed, and there has been no appearance of the disease since. Michael Kane No. 1068 Kirkham St. Fort Verde, Arizona, Dec. 12, 1879. Standard Soap Company-Gents: Having received your box of Phosphate Soap, and having used only one cake of Soap out of the three, I am happy to say that it has completely cured my sore eyelids which was caused by the alkali dust in Idaho Territory, in 1877, and have been sore ever since until I used Phosphate Soap. Corporal Dennis Burke, Twelfth Infantry. San Francisco, November 27, 1879. Standard Soap Company-Gents: After a number of trials of soaps, I have learned that the Phosphate is certainly the very best for shaving. I thank you for its introduction. James P. Arthur.

[illustration of a tin of Phosphate Soap with words "trade mark" written across a buckled belt] A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of children; good for the teeth; produces a soft, creamy lather, nicely adapted to shaving or shampooing, removes dandruff, and gives health to the scalp without injuring the hair. The genuine merits of Phosphate Soap and persistent advertising will force every druggist, groceryman and general dealer to order it by the gross sooner or later. Ask for it in every store. The retail price is 25 cents per cake. We wish to sell it only at wholesale, but in case you cannot find it we will send a nice box of three cakes by mail, postage paid, on receipt of 85 cents in stamps. No salve or ointment can heal a wound or sore of any kind. Every educated physician will tell you that nature alone can do this. Phosphate Soap, by its cleansing, soothing and purifying qualities, gives nature a chance to act freely. It is an old proverb that an ounce of preventive is better than a pound of cure. Twenty-five cents invested in a cake of Phosphate Soap will save hundreds of dollars in doctors' bills. It acts as a constant disinfectant, preventing Salt Rheum and other skin diseases. Not only for daily use on the face and hands, but for bathing the entire body, there is nothing equal to Phosphate Soap. It is a thorough disinfectant and removes offensive odors of every kind. [illustration of a tin of Phosphate Soap with words "trade mark" written across a buckled belt] San Francisco, Aug. [August] 27, 1879? Gentlemen: I received a package of your soap (Phosphate Soap) and it gives me great pleasure to testify as to its superior excellence. As a toilet soap I have never seen anything to surpass it. It also possesses superior remedial qualities. I have used it in two cases of obstinate skin disease, one of intolerable itching, Pruritus?, the other an Eczema. In both great relief was obtained. Its emollient properties are remarkable. Respectfully, W. A. Douglass, M.D. 126 O'Farrell St. [street] To the Standard Soap Company. San Francisco, July 19, 1887?. Standard Soap Co. [company]-Gentlemen. The Ladies of my household, four in number, unite with me in pronouncing your Phosphate Soap the best ever tried for toilet use. It is noticeable that while it readily removes impurities from the skin, it also leaves undisturbed the natural oil so essential to the health. It is not too strong language to say that we are delighted with it. C. M. Sawtelle, M.D., 120 Capp street. Oakland, Cal. Aug 1, 1879. Standard Soap Co. - Gentlemen: We have been giving your Phosphate Soap a pretty fair trial, and we like it the best of any soap for toilet use that we have found on this Coast.
