SELECTING SrovE. Housekeepcr
gives its readers some advice with re-
ference to the selection of stoves. It
urges them to avoid those with too
much ornamentation, especially that in
relief, as they are great deal more
difficult to keep clean; and those, also,
which have complicated structures, with
a great variety Of hampers and other
apparatus, such as are likely to get out
Of order easily, and are beyond the COM
prehension OF the average servant-girl.
An expert in the management of stoves
says: Never open the upper draft in q
stove, in order to check the fire, as it
allows the gas to escape into the room /;
but always use the lower draft for that
purpose. The arguments which have
been made against the use Of stoves, ON
the ground that the air Of our apart
ments is burned by coming in contact
with the heated stove is refuted by some
authorities, except in cases where the
stove is red hot. They further say
that it is not necessary or desirable to
have moisture in our rooms; first, be-
cause She air out Of doors is dry from
the cold, and it is but natural that the
air within doors should be OF the same
character; second, because il the air in
the room is kept moist by means Of eva
porated water, the moisture has no
means of escape, and is inevitably de-
posted upon the walls and other parts
the room, with the result of causing
dampness. These views ere worth not
ing, for they differ from the received
opinion

A. T. STEWARDS $4,000 CARPET.

Among the many treasures owned by
the merchant prince, is magnificent
carpet which was once intended to grace
the halls of royalty, having been manu-
factured for the Emperor Nepoleon.
Its size is about forty feet square. The
centre-piece, its most promising object,
occupying nearly one-half of the whole
area, represents beautiful, ovel-shaped
picture set in gold frame, and suita-
bly, hung, would at distance be easily
mistaken for an elegant painting.
The picture shows the harbor, castle
and surrounding country of Marseilles,
France. In the foreground, one is
charmed by the blue water and the
stately ships at anchor further back
the harbor and ancient castle, rising
grandly in its magnificent whiteness
against the green foliage enveloping the
base of the mountains which form the
background and lift their hoary heads
into blue sky, faxed with fieecy clouds.
Nepoleon's coat of arms surmounts the
picture, and Latin motto, wrought in
gold on blue ribbon-like ground, lies
half unrolled at the base.
Immediately surrounding this lovely
picture, in bed of rich brown, is o
garland of beautiful flowers, much
larger than natural size, but so brilliant
and 30 delicately and accurately repre-
sented that it seems as if one might
stoop and lift the petals one from anoth-
er. Outside of this garland, and serv-
ing as a border to the carpet, is q
wreath formed of overlapping oak leaves
and acorns, also in natural colors, their
various shades of green andbrown blend
ing in exquisite beauty.
1t is quito impossible to give an idea
of this wonderful fabric, which was
made with the needles of poor women,
who wrought it in sections, and set to-
gether, after the manner of the camels
hair shawls. Its texture is as delicate
as q silken robe, and no painter could
protray color or detail with greater skill.
II actually cost SIC, 900 to make it. MIR.
Stewart saw il at the Paris Exposition,
and purchased it as q novelty to exhibit
to friends who visit his " uptown" store.

BEAUTTFYIsG w0MEE's FACES IN
PARIS.

A very curious industry in Paris. and
one that is more extensive than might
be supposed from its nature, is that of
paints, pencils and powders, for max
ing up the complexion. Most of the
great perfumers, such as Guerlaiu, Pr
rer, etc., have a back room to their es-
tab.ishments, specially devoted TO this
mysterious commerce.
The ordinary method of daubing the
face first with white paint and then
the rouge, finds no favor with the con-
summate artists who teach the use of
those beautifying compounds. For
whitening the skin q preparation is
shown that is composed of some ipsol-
uble powder in liquid. The bottle
must first be well shaken, and very
small quantity of its contents taken on a
fine old linen rag, or bit OF cotton, and
rubbed round and round until the pre-
paration has penetrated the skin thor
oughly. This wash makes the skin
beautifully white, without a trace of
the fouriness of powder or ordinary
paint. 1t is very costly, being sold at
$12 for small bottle full.
Next comes q rouge, which is also
very costly, being valued at S19 for a
box of the best quality. From this
superhne article the grades descent
through different prices until we reach
the coarse sixty-cent rouge, which no
well-bred beauty will condescend to
use. Different shades Of rouge are sold
for different occasions; there 10 shade
for daylight, one for the theatre, one
for the ballroom, one for the race
course, etc.
Then we have scarlet liquid used for
coloring the lips, and black powder
for blackening the edges of the eyelids;
the last requires some dexterity in its
use, as it must be put on as powder,
and delicately washed in" with fine
linen rag and luke-warm water. Black
and brown pencils are used for mark
ing the arch of the eye heavy, and q
pencil of delicate blue comes for tracing
the veins on the white surface of the
painted skin.
To aid in the last crowning touch of
the whole artistic performance chart
has been prepared which gives with
medical accuracy the position of every
vein in the human face, neck and chest.
The negative quality Of harmlessness is
claimed for the most of these pigments,
yet deaths from to free a use of them
are not uncommon. M. Obin of the
Grand Opera was killed by the white
paint w.ierewith he whitened his head
when he played in "William Tell,"' and
Mile. Mass, the celebrated actress, fell
a victim to the poisonous effects of the
hair dye wherewith she restored the
raven hue of her profuse tresses

/" SMASHING"


1 wonder il any of your readers have
ever heard Of the practice of ''smash-
ing" at Vassar College. II not, I fancy
that many might be somewhat interested
in hearing about oresof" tfe1most curl
Gus freaks ever INDUCED in by school
girls. | know whereof / speak, for
have been for over two years a witness
of this wild species of insanity. When
a young woman at-Xassar sees another,
whose appearance, general lyle, talents,
or eyes Especially the latter she ad-
nires, instead of seeking her acquain-
ance in an orthodox manner, straight
way she announces to her friends and
cronies, with the most mysterious and
confidential air, that she is hopelessly,
completely, entirely, utterly "smashed"
in fact, "dead gone" Then follows
a series of the most idiotic performances
"Smash" notes are written; elegant
flowers, boxes of candy, costly books.
etc., are sent by the 'smasbee" to the
"smasher," appointments are made in
dark corridors to kiss each other good
night; smirking and ogling are in vogue
in the dining-room and in the chapel.
This state of affairs is kept up for some
time-length of time depends on the vio-
lence of the attack. Then the "smash"
develops into an astonishing friendship,
or the parties drop one another by mu-
tual consent. 1t is not uncommon to
hear some bright girl say, "Oh, I am 50
smashed on Miss So-and-so. Ijust adore
the ground she walks on. 1 have the
'palps' SO when see her that can hardly
stand up" have known girls whose
great power of intellect could not be
denied, who stood at the head of their
classes, to make absolute fools of them
selves over other girls. I have seen
girls cry themselves sick because their
loved one smiled more favorably on
some rival than on them. Ihave known
of Sc boxes of confectionery and $15
bouquets being sent through some zeal
GUS friend by the victim to the victor.
And speaking of these tokens of pure,
unadulterated affection, reminds me of
something quite funny. The offerings
are often more practical than poetical.
Dishes of pineapple, hot lemonade,
fried oysters, etc., are common, and one
young woman of an intensely practical
turn Of mind sent to her adored one q
hot boiled sweet potatoe. . 1t is quite
the thing at Vassar to have the reputa-
ton Of being successful "smasher." ?"
One enterprising young woman boasted
of her $50 victims. She was Maine
girl, and her charm lay in the fact that
she was quite gentlemanly in appear
ance. Very few reach the zenith Of two
dozen, and if one were to successfully
aspire to more than that I think she
might say, "Now let thy servant depart
in peace" I think, also, that under
the circumstances it wonld be the most
laudable petition she could possibly
put up. Now, Mr.. Editor, that I have
shown the ridiculous side of this mat
ter, might continue to discourse in
mournful numbers of the serious side,
of its cause and effects, of the argument
it offers for co-education; but have
some spark of kindly feeling left for
your readers, therefore I will spare
them the CHASTITY recital.-"A passar
Girl" in The Buffalo Express.

NEEDED INVENTIONS.

Somebody says woman cannot invent,
however we'll they could vote. Here is
something in their own line. Come,
girls, don't fail to show your genius
and make you fortune to boot!
The Se,cing Machine Journal gives
the following list of inventions in which
great improvements can be made. There
is great need, it says, of these specified,
and also great room for advancement.
Doubtless a fortune can be made on
them if properly managed:
/. A ruffier which can be set to gath
er a given fullness.
2. A simple embroiderer.
3. An adjustable scroll binder which
will not stretch the binding.
4. A practical adjustable hemmer,
from the smallest size to an inch wide.
5. A rotary shuttle sewing machine,
which will not twist or untwist the
thread, and which will sew with great
rapidity.
6. A practical tuck folder.
z. A sewing machine which will have
in its working parts the different attach
ments which can be thrown in gear
with some working part of the machine
when the attachment is required.
8. Motive power.
8. A good needle threader.
10. A glass oil bottle which can be
sold cheap, and used to oil the machine
instead Of the oil can. 1t must be
made SO that the oil can be forced out.
