A ROYAL TaoussaAu.—A letter from Berlin gives the
following description of the trousseau of the Princess
Anne of Prussia, who is about to be married to a Prince
of Hesse Cassell :—Of the two large rooms which the
trousseau occupied, the first contained the house and body
linen, laid out for the most part in 20 dozens and 24
dozens, all marked with her Royal Highness's name (12
dozen pocket-handkerchiefs had the Royal arms woven in
them). In connection with the travelling couch were 24
dozen day and night chemises, as many undress and
night caps, and other incomprehensible and unmention-
able articles in like profusion. The linen takes up three
sides of the room ; the fourth is occupied by the chaussure,
consisting of 24 pairs of silk and leather shoes, and 24
dozen pairs of stockings. In the second room were gloves,
embroidered handkerchiefs, collars, scarfs, hats, bonnets,
artificial flowers, &c., in bewildering profusion ' • to make
all complete, there was a riding habit, 12 cloaks, in silk
and velvet ; and, besides all these, the tball and court
dresses, as well as the wedding robe, a diadem of brilliants,
and much too many more things for me to enumerate.
According to old practice here, the body of the wedding
dress of white satin was nut with the skirt and train, but
is kept in the jewel chamber, where it is decorated with
the crown jewels, and not brought out to Charlottenburg
till the last moment.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—" For upwards of
nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of Winchmore
Hill, Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of this
excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted
with headache and indigestion ; but a friend having in-
duced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now
inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and
during that long period of time I have taken them in
preference to any other medicine; and I have the happiness
of saying that I never had a better state of health, which
I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add,
that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we
know of nothing to equal it." In any case where an
aperient medicine is required, they need only be tried to
be universally adopted. Sold by all medicine vendors,
Price Is. 12d. per box. See the name of " Thomas Prout,
