a syrian Toilette.


We called yesterday on the daugh-
ter of Mahommedan living in the
city (TripolD. Though the girl had
been married several days, she had
never been seen by her husband,
he only attending the mosque when
the ceremony was performed, she
taking no part in it. After the GER
emony the bride usually stays at her
fathers house nine days, during
which time she sits in state, decked
in her finest dress and jewels, receiv-
ing calls from her friends. Then
her Joy is at an end. She must go
to her husband, take off her fine
clothes, and become a perfect slave,
subject to the will of her cruel mas
ter. The parents of this bride were
very poor Her mother was dressed
in little better than rags, and was at
the tdgnua washing clothes. All
the women of the brides company
had their hair plated full of gold
coins: these were heir-looms and SO
greatly treasured, that a woman
would almost starve sooner than
part with one. The present given
by the family to the bride was an
elegant pale blue brocade silk dress
and a black silk, embroidered with
gold. The former cost $3.50. The
bridegroom's presents were sumpt-
uous lilac silk, heavily embroidered
with gold; earrings of pearl and gold
and bracelets as wide as a finger.
During the call she wore the bride
groom's presents. The other pres
ents were hung spread out on the
wall.
We stopped at house below, ac-
cording to custom, and sent word
of our coming. The bride return
ed answer that she would be most
happy to salute us. After waiting
about twenty minutes we went up
stairs, for she lived ON the second
floor. She had not quite finished
her toilet, and she sat on the floor
before large mirror, surrounded by
her finery. As we entered she arose
and saluted us, and then returned
composedly to her dressing. OF all
the strange and CHASTITY sights her
face was the most wonderful, as may
we'll be imagined from the way it
was prepared.
First, hot wax was spread over
the whole face, which, when cool,
was peeled off. This was done to
remove all the hair from the face.
Then whiting was rubbed on till the
skin looked like marble. Her eye.
brows were painted jet black, her
lips and q large spot on each cheek
painted a brilliant red. On these
red spots, n her forehead and the
corners of her month, gilt flowers
were pasted. Then over the whole
powdered sugar had heen snapped,
which made it sparkle as with "dia-
mond dust" She wore pearl enr-

How AnImaIsIIve in winter.

Our rerders know that there are
two kinds of respiratory apparatus,
lungs, which inhale air, abstract
oxygen from it, and give in return
chiefly carbonic acid; and giils, which
absorb the oxygen dissolved in wa
ter, and also give off carbonic acid,
which is more readily dissolved in
the water than oxygen. The former
apparatus is possessed by mammals,
birds, &C.; the latter by fishes; and
as lungs are incapable of taking
oxygen out of water, and gllls can
not breath air, animals with lungs are
drowned in the water, while hSh are
drowned in the air. A small number
of amphibious animals, however, pos
sess with both lungs and gills, and
can therefore breath either air or
water, and thus live in both. 1t has
been observed, however, that musk
rats, and other swimming mammals
with lungs, could travel considerable
distances under ice without reaching
any breathing hole on the surface,
and it was for a long time problem
how they succeeded in living so
long and travelling so far without
access to the atmosphere. The
problem has been answered by S.
Newhouse, in a work called the
"Traper's Guide, 'Afrom which we ex-
tract the following:
Muskrats have curious method
of travelling long distances under ice.
In their winter excursions to their
feeding grounds, which are frequent
ly at great distances from their
abodes, they take in breath at start
ing an remain under water as long
as they can. They rise to the ice
and breath out the air in their lungs,
which remains in bubbles against the
lower surface of the Ice. They
wait till this air RECEIVERS oxygen
from the water and ice and then
take it in again, and go on till the
operation has to be repeated. In
this way they can travel almost any
distance, and live any length of time.
The hunter sometimes takes adj
vantage of this habit of the musk
rat in the following manner:
When the marshes and ponds
where the muskrats abound are first
frozen over, and the ice is thin and
clear, on striking into their houses
with his hatchet, for the purpose of
setting his traps, he frequently sees
a whole family plunge into the wa
ter and swim away under the ice.
Following one for some distance,
be sees him come up to renew his
breath in the manner above describ-
ed.
After the animal has breathed
and before he has time
to take it in again, the hunter strikes
his hatchet directly over him, and
drives away his breath. In
this case he browns in swimming a
few rods; and the hunter cutting a
a hole in the ice, takes him out.
Mink, otter and beaver travel under
the ice in the same way; and hunt
ers have frequently told me of tax
ing offers in the manner have de-
scribed, when these animals visit the
houses of the muskrat for prey"
