THE most perfectly shaped man or
woman is uusymmetrical-that is to say,
there is a marked unlikeness between
the two sides Of the body. The two
sides of the face (Which is most seen,
and, therefore, permits of more accu-
rate study will be found always to ex-
hibit considerable differences. Proba-
bly, no two sides of any human face are
precisely alike. It is the same with
every limb. No pair of limbs is shaped
alike. One hand is almost always larger
than the other so with the foot so

LADIES are sometimes surprised at
the rapidity with which an apparently
heavy black silk will go to pieces. A
recent writer says this is often due to
The fact that it has been weighted"
This process, originally adopted for the
purpose of making up the loss occasioned
BY ungumming, is now carried so far as
sometimes to increase both weight and
bulk three fold, The weight is added
by treatment with salts of iron and as
tringents, salts of tin and cyanide, and
results in an entire change both of the
chemical and physical properties of the
silk. 1t is an agglomeration OF foreign
matters without cohesion, burns like
Under, and, worse than all, is said to be
Known to have absorbed gases until
enough heat was caused to produce
pontaneous combustion. Ladies should
