n. Victor Considerant, the so-callei
" Economist is the last and most striking
Of the Ounces who have assumed to shed
darkness on the greatly befuddled question
Of resuming specie currency in America.
He stntes his rlan in full as follows:
"Io n.tatn the ereat end III vlew-nanel5, to

The striking peculiarity Of this plan is
that, for every dollar Of paper currency to

Funerals in Greece. -, -....~r~rrxy
In Greece it is the custom to dress
up the dead in his best clothes, and put
on a new pair of shoes; the hands and
feet are tied !; the body must lie facing
the east, two long wax tapers standing
up alight at the head and feet, and a
small picture of the Holy Virgin placed
on the chest. All relations must call
at the house, and remain in there and
taste no food Of any kind until the body
be buried. A cup full of wine is brought
into the room, and they wash the hands
and face Of the corpse with the wine,
and deposit the empty cup inside the
waist coat of the dead. AS soon as the
body is removed stone is placed on
the floor where the body was lying, and
small cup full efswine, the stone and
the cup remaining on the floor for three
days and three nights, with wax taper
burning the whole time. When the
body is lowered into the grave the priest
empties large. bottle full of wine.
When a distinguished person dies there
is funeral Grafton recited at his tomb.
On their. return from the cemetery all
the intimate friends and relatives return
to the house and have a regular feast,
consisting of all kinds Of viands, except
fish, with plenty of wine and raki.
Three days afterward quantity of cakes
are blessed by the priest in church and
distributed to all the friends and ac-
quaintances of the deceased. Exactly
three years after burial the priests and
relatives proceed to the grave and dis
inter the dead; if the body be found
perfectly decomposed they collect the
bones and transfer them to a monastery
or church, for which they pay a fee of
fifty piastres !; should, unfortunately, the
body be found in good preservation,
through their sins or those of the de-
ceased, they replace the remains in the
grave, and have prayers read in church
for the remission of their sins and the
decay of the body Of their relative.
Bishops are buried in sitting posture
in an easy-chair, and wax-taper burn
ing; if, at the three years. on opening
the tomb, the taper be found still burn
ing, it is considered an infallible proof
that the holy father had become saint.
When Turk is buried the priest, or
hozza, puts in the grave a key and a
copper coin; the key is for the purpose
of opening the door Of Paradise, and the
coin for giving bagish to the porter.
The Christians in Turkey believe that
three days after Turk has been buried
he becomes dog and walks out of his
tomb while they maintain that when a
poor Jew is lowered into his grave the
earth throws up the corpse seven times,
unwilling to receive into her bowels the
body of such wicked unbeliever; but
that, after the seventh time, the body is
deposited again, and large stone placed

network, stuffed with short hair or other
material. 1t costs from one to thirty
dollars according to style and quality. 4.
False curls are greatly in demand,
either singly or in mass. They are
composed of real hair, artifcially curled,
and initiate nature to wonderful de-
gree Of perfection. A single curl costs
from six to twenty dollars. A good
head of curly hair of the ,reigning hue
costs about one hundred and fifty dol
lars ''* ]@t~ NSs
Rolls or puffs are composed of horse
hair, or short-clipped human hair, roll
ed and compressed together, over'which
the rest of the hair is displayed. The
cost of rolls or puffs varies from twenty
five to fifty cents apiece, and upward.
Switches are composed of short hair
plated together, or of a string of hair
as long as the length Of the longest
threads of the human hair, and costs
(fuH sets) from five to one hundred dol
lars, according to the thickness and
depth.
Fashionable woven are in the habit
Of shaving and clipping the little hair
around the forehead, SO as to give the
hair in front pointed appearance. The
poudre subtitle, for uprooting the super
fluous hair, costs one dollar bottle,
while noir peloutte, with three pencils
of various thicknesses for the eyebrows,
can be procured for two dollars and
a-half. For the eyes, our New York
belle uses belladonna, to give the upper
part Of the face a languishing,s half-sen-
timental, half.sensual look. TO "get
up" this same look costs two dollars and
a half in money, and an hour in time.
Sometimes this substance is dropped
into the eye, when it has the effect to
give that organ an eager and expressive
look.
