TeiUet-Handed.

1t will hardly be credited, but it is
quite true that men of fashion ara much
more coquettisb-perhaps one should
say fastidious-in regard to their hands
than ladies. No woman's hand was ever
SO fine, so soft, SO velvety to the touch,
as that of supremely elegant man. OIL
course men of this sort are rare in this
country, but we have a few in New
York and their number is increasing.
They affect China, and their apartments
are filled with knick-knacks. One of
them-really a very manly fellow,
though spoiled by his good looks and his
money, a kelhamitish sort of individual
is known among his young lady init
mates as velvet-handed," and learned
naturally to pride himself good deal on
this characteristic. For long time it
was puzzle to every one how he
managed to produce and retain this
wonderful softness of touch, and bets
were made about it. But the mystery at
last has been solved. In Paris, some
years ago, Russian countess, whose
hands were wonderfully soft and delicate,
presented him with a box of what she
called "velvet POWDER" or a delicious
preparation of powdered almonds, very
much in use for the bath, for the face,
after riding in the cold, and particularly
for the hands, by the aristocrats of
Russia. He liked it somuch that he in
dueed Branch barber to keep it, NAM
ing 1t the " Natrick" velvet POWDER
name it maintains to this day-and
brought some of it home with him to
New York. where the little excitement
made by some young ladies about The
softness of hishands suggested mystery
which he endeavored to make the most
of, but which has finally been dissipated
by the introduction to the public of
"Natriek velvet powder by French
importing house il this city. 1t is de-
lightful substitute for soap, and seems
like nothing but powdered sweet almonds.
A little pinch of it on the hands or back
when washing, after being exposed to
heat or cold, is marvelously refreshing,
AID it softens more effectually than
cream. Worth and some other of the
great dtessmaking houses in Paris keep
it for their employees, SO that their
hands will be fit to work on delicate
fabrics, such as satin and lace.
Buried cities in Central Asia.
lLondon Atheneum.1
An expedition to explore the buried
cities of Central Asia is talked of in
Bombay and elsewhere in India. That
treasures like those at Mycena may be
found in the sands of mongolia is at
least possible. If tradition be of any
value-s tradition, too, which has persis-
tently elung to one locality through the
lapse of centuries-the tomb Of Ghengiz
K han is yet, with its fabulously rich
treasures, to be found (as Colonel Prejeva.
lsky was told by the Mongols) to the south
Of Lake Tsbasun-Nor. Your readers may
remember the 9hSint legend about the
last resting place of the great Khan.
Within the tomb lies a man who seems
asleep. Every evening sheep or horse
is tisd near tn e spot, and lol in the
morning the animals have been eaten.
In nine hundred years, say the Nongols,
the sleeper will awake and lead countless
hosts ofhis children to victory and do
minion. The old story is said to b. cir
culatiug mors and more widely every
year. Then the Mongols say that con-
stantly the drifting sands disclose, here
and there, gold and silver treasures,
which they have superstitious dread OF
touching. The buried cities under the
sands of the Cobb are affirmed to be
mines of incalculable wealth, guarded by
gnomes and fearful spells, while all the
deserts around the hidden ruins are peo.
