The Garb of Herodias.
An English magazine, giving a

AN EngllSn magazine, giving an &C
of the dress of Judean bellies
1000 years ago, says: In the wardrobe
of a Hebrew lady the most splendid
article of clothing was the turban, for
those who could afford it. The poor
people had to be satisfied with winding
a piece of cloth around their head, and
fixing it as well as they could. The
turbans were of various colors, and
wound III different ways; some of them
like high tower. Shoes and stockings
were unknown, but soles of leather
were fastened with two latchets. The
ladies, who carried luxury into every
department, and who are supposed,
even in the present day, to be far more
indifferent to a nice, neat boot, or
elegant slippers, had their shoes, or
rather their sandals, and their latchets
made of colored leather; dark blue and
purple were favorite colors The
ankles were decorated with bracelets Of
gold or dainty silver chains and rings,
with tiny silver bells Earrings were
much thought of; we are told of some
that weighed LOO sheckles of gold,
and were SO large man could easily
put his hand through them Some
women wore several rings with little
bells attached to them. They were
generally made of horn or silver. But
the most popular ring was the nose
ring. The left nostril was pierced for
this purpose, and a ring made Of ivory
or metal put through it. Bracelets
were favorite ornaments, and were gen
orally worn on the right arm. Some of
them were exceedingly large, SO that
they reached up to the elbow. Rings
on the fingers were worn; chains of
fine gold, or strings of pearls with little
silver balls or small tinkling bells worn
on the neck.

Heat for Plants.

A lady who has been very successful
with plants, makes two suggestions as
to their management: Every gar
dener and florist knows the value of
what is called bottom heat A warm
atmosphere-especially if a dry one
is often insufficient to bring about a
healthy growth, and is sometimes inju-
rious. What is wanted for many kinds
of plants and flowers, is moist heat at
the roots and tibres, where growth early
starts, and from whence the stimulus
is conveyed to every other part of the
plant. A thrifty growth below the
sro....1 ie euro to DO, followed by fruit
and flowers above"
She accomplished this by filling the
saucers of her tlower-pots with hot wa
ter. This was, of course, absorbed and
carried up to the roots and fibres, Civ
ing the required bottom heat. I'm
thrifty plants, in addition to this, she
placed on the mantlepiece over the
kitchen range, keeping them of course,
well watered, 1t supplied heat where
it is most wanted-at the roots-and
the benefit was marked. In warm
rooms the temperature is at the top,
and the coolest near the floor where
the pots are. This reverses the proper
order, giving the roots of a plant the
coolest place.
Another important matter i'll house
plants is to give them the morning sun.
Windows where plants are kept should,
therefore, face the east. The reasons
are not known, perhaps, but the fact is
patent to all whose business it is to de-
velop healthy growth in plants and
flowers, that an hour of morning sun is
worth three hours of afternoon SUM-

How to Hang Pictures

No picture ought to be hung higher
than the height of the average human
eye when the owner of the eye is stand
ing 1t is the almost universal rule in
our houses to hang pictures much
above this level, and they cannot be
enjoyed there. If the picture is por-
trait, or if it has human faces i'll it, its
eyes should look as nearly into ours as
possible; and if there be no such sim
pie guide, perhaps good rule will be
to have the line that divides the picture
horizontally into equal parts level with
the eye. If one starts in hanging pic
lures with the determination to place
them SO that they can be easily seen
and enjoyed without stretching the neck
the least, or stopping the body, he will
be pretty sure to do well. In remote
farm-houses and country taverns we
often see pictures, particularly pOr-
traits, skyed as high rs if the owners
had been Academy Hangers, and the
painters young rivals of new school.
suppose the reason is that the simple
hearted owners think picture such u
precious thing, it can't be hung too Sc
crely out of the reach of meddlng
hands. They are often not clear in
their minds as to what picture is
meant for, and not finding III it any
practical relation to human life and So
ciety, they treat it with reverence and
put it where it will disturb them as lit
tie as possible. But, as people come to
enjoy pictures, and get some intellectu-
al, spiritual nourishment out of them,
they want them as they want their
books. where they can see them and
use them.-From Udrence Cooks PaperS

Danger in Pressing Leaves.

The Scranton pa Times says that
it has the best authority for the follow
ing singular statement: A lady of
our city having gathered large guam
tity Of autumn leaves, took the more
rapid method Of pressing with hot
fat-iron. Very soon after her hands
and wrists broke out with an eruption
of II scalding humor, such as is wit
messed in those cases of ervsipelas
known as st. Anthony's fire, and she is
likely to be laid up for some time, if
no worse results ensue. The leaves
were of the maple species, and the the
DRY is that volatile oil of a poisonous
nature was evolved by the application
of heat, and obtained access to the cir
culat ion through some abrasion of the
skin. 1t is safer, though slower pro-
cess, to press leaves in book or be-
tween flat boards under weight"

THOUGH Michigan salt works were
not run to much more than half their
working power, 100000 bushels were
manufactured in the state last year
against 4, los, 900 bushels in 1874, and a
steady increase for six years. Salt is
manufactured in eighteen states, Mich
lgan using the most capitol, and West
Virginia, New York and Ohio following.
though New York and West Virginia
lead her In the amount manufactured.
These four states made about sixteen
seventeenths Of the country's produc-
ton in 1870, which was IL, COG, 900 bush
els, valued at $4,S1S,000. There were
2S2 establishments for boiling and dry

$6,56S, 900 capital, and paying annual
ly 81 la, 900 for wages. If the whole
industry has increased with that of

about 100000 bushels, though this
falls short of the consumption, and
larger quantities are imported.
