A well-known soap millionaire imputes a part of his success to his soap's popularity among children. He claim? tliar habits of scrupulous cleanliness can be formed iv cliihireu, if, at first, they are paid to bathe. He lias at the top of his tongue a number of amusing anecdotes about tlie extraordinary meroeuary character of the small boy. One of these anecdotes concerns a little chap who came to his mother oue day for a penny. "Oh, M said the lady, '"be industrious, and earu your money. I aui tired of always giving, giving to yon. " The youngster departed iv thoughtful silence. Thereafter, for some time, he did not make a single demand fir cash. His pleased mother discovered the reason for his obedience late oue afteruoou. when in a secluded part of her garden she found Her little sou standing in the centre of an appreciative erosvd of urchins. Directly behiu<l him, quite nearly printed on card-board, and tacked to v tree, was this announcement: Willie Jones Will Eat— & I small worm for a half-penny. J large worm for a penny. 1 butterfly for twopence. 1 caterpillar for threepence. Ami tlit , boy, bis mother plainly saw, was doing a tremendous business.
