Armed TO the Teeth.

Is a very common expression, but we
think that armed to embelllsh and
preserve them to ripe old age is de-
cidedly more appropriate. This can
be done by keeping yourself sap
piled with bottle of that splendid
dentiirice, Fragrant SOZODONT,
which will beautify. the teeth and
preserve them from the ravages of
decay. SOZODONT contains no
acids or gritty substances which in
jure the enamel, but is composed of
rare and antispetic herbs, which have
a beneficial effect on the whole econ
omy of the mouth. Sold bv all drug

Fig-Leaves and Finery.

1t is as natural for a woman to love
fnery as it is for bird to plume itself,
for the rose-bush to garland its branches
with blossoms; in fact, even man has
his little prejudices in favor, not only of
the best-dressed woman, but of the best
linen and broadcloth that the market
affords. together with fair amount of
these little adOrnments which taste or
custom allows. The tattooing of the
savage is an establishment of the per-
son which we believe is common to both
sexes; and though Eve was the first to
invent the art of dress, we have never
observed that her sons permitted them
selves to be out stripped by her daugh-
tiers in taking advantage of her happy
thought. 1t is not only because fine
feathers increase her cOmeliness that a
woman dotes upon them, though even
that might be considered reason suffi-
GENTLY good aud innocent to account
for the prediction, since it is the duty
of each of us to make the most of what
ever charms we may possess, and it is
undeniable that plain person well
dressed has the advantage of her pretty
friend who has paid no attention to the
subject, while experience teaches us,
perhaps, that beauty when unadOrned is
often unrecOgniZed; but there is poe
try about fig leaves to which the femi-
nine mind is peculiarly susceptible;
the cOlOrs and designs of brOcades sug-
gest beautiful images; the India shawl
touches her fancy like the wand of the
necromancer, and puts her en- rapport
with the splendOrs of the East; the
simmer of satin, the flash of jewels,
the tracery of lace, satisfy the magma
ton in a measure, like fine pictures or
statuary, like flow of music, or the easy
postures of the dancer. There is al
most always a sound reason for the
popularity of anything and the univer-
sal admiration of elegant apparel is no
exception to the rule; a fundamental
necessity of everybOdy's nature can
only be reached BY the ministrations Of
beauty and since the majority of US can
not always secure it to ourselves in its
highest forms, we are pleased to fall
back upon the most easily accessible.
In the meantime it is not necessary that
a regard for fine feathers should offend
against simplicity or economy, or absorb
the leisure that might be devoted to
better objects; doubtless she who wears
the finest of them gives less thought
and time to the arrangement than one
who must plan and toll to attain her
desire; and they assume more impOr-
lance and occupy her mind more con-
stantly in proportion to the difficulty
she experiences in procuring them, as
the rose we can not reach is most to be
coveted, and the pleasure denied is
that which wears a halo and dwells
most in our nds.-HarPer'S BazGr.

Social Life at Cabul.

The Cabul correspondent of the Lon
don Times, in the course of an enter
tanning letter on social life in the Afghan
capital, says that Afghan etiquette for
bids paving visits in the off-hand and
unceremoniOus way usual in Europe, and
it is customary and also convenient in
many ways to send at least a few hours
notice of the intention to call upon an
Afghan Sirdar. This fOrmality per-
formed, the visitor takes his way on
horseback through the dirty and narrow
lanes of the city of Cabul and alightS at
the doorway of some mud built and Sc
cluded residence, the aspect of which
indicates the care with which the in
mates desire to screen themselves from
the prying eyes of neighbors and Cos
sips. The Sirdars belonging to the
reigning sept, the Mahomedzais, | may
here remark, were formerly accOmmO-
dated with convenient residences in the
Bala Hissar; but the eXigencies of the
English military occupation of Cabul
have necessitated the vacation of these
houses, most of which have, indeed,
been pulled down, and the evicted Sir
dars have had TO be content with such
meaner quarters as the city of Cabul
affords. Compensation will doubtless
be awarded them; but in the meanwhile
they have suffered both in convenience
and comfort, and this alone may well
incline them to view with small favor
our intrusion into their country, and to
hope for our speedy Withdrawal. The
visitor is received at the door by some
confidential retainer or retainerS and
conducted through an open courtyard
to the foot of a rude, winding staircase.
which leads first to an uncovered land
inc and thence to the ordinary recep-
tiOn-room or balcony of the proprietor
Here he is received by the host in per-
son and conducted with every mark of
courtesy and respect to small row of
chairs. the use of which article of furni-
tire seems to be general in good society
in Cabul, and to have quite superseded
the carpets and feltS which satisfied an
oder generation.
After few words of welcome and in
quiry in set formula after health on
both sides, tray of fruits usually ap-
pears and is placed upon the carpet at
the feet of the visitors. The fruits are
followed by the tea-tray and cup of
highly-sweetened green tea, without
milk, is placed before the visitor. The
conversation is then carried on with
more or less spirit on the ordinary top
les of the day, and here, if the visit is
a merely formal one, the interview
comes to an end, and the visitor is con-
Quoted to the door with the same for
mality and courtesy with which he was
received.

A Recent Connecticut Tragedy.

/ Mrs. JOHN CHIDsEY and her sister,
Maria Avant, were found murdered in
their house in Avon, Conn, on the
morning of May 81. Mrs. Chidsey was
in her room up stairs on bed, and a
Bible was lying by her side. She was
struck with blow by a tailOrhs goose.
The other woman, who was in the kitch-
en-, was killed by q blow from an ak.
Mrs. Chidsey's head was crushed near
the top, and she was evidently asleep
when TIE blow was given, as there was
not much disturbance of the bed-clOthes.
Her spectacles had fallen off and were
caught in the bed-clOthing. She was
lying upon one side, the blood from the
wound staining the bed-clOthing. Her
sister was founk lying on the kitchen
floor, her skull crushed in on the top of
the head. The AK with which the blow
was given was found near the stairs,
some distance from the body. 1t was
bloody. A rag carpet had been placed
over the head of the dead woman, and
tucked around her body to the waist.
Her clothing was much disturbed. A
pool of blood was near her head. Two
doors leading to the kitchen were closed,
and the curtains were drawn down at
the windows through which the murder
ers or the body might nave been seen.
Curtains at a point from which the body
could not be seen were not drawn down.
The lamps used at night had been put
away, and the breakfaSt-table had been
cleared off.
The women lived alone in the house,
a small one-and-a-half-story dwelling,
and it is evident they were killed on Sun
day, but their bodies were not discov-
cred until Monday morning. When
Mrs. Read, wife of an employee of Child
sey's Mill, near by, and residing oppo-
site, called at the house to borrow pair
of scissors, the outer door was shut, but
not fastened. AS soon as she discOv-
cred the dead woman in the kitchen she
gave the alarm, and the neighbOrs came
in. Justice of the Peace WOOdford sum-
moned a jury and physician, DR.. Lewis,
from Collinsville. The jury viewed the
bodies and surroundings, and postponed
a further hearing. The murdered wom-
en- were widows. They are sisters of
Elijah Brewer, eXpressman, of Hart
ford. Mr.. Chidsey, proprietor of the
mill, married one OF the sisters. The
women owned the house in which they
lived, and were possessed OF property to
the amount of $1,000. 1t is not known
whether they had much money in the
house, and there was no robbery so far
as is known. The murder was well
planned, and executed so suddenly that
neither of the victims, probably, had
any warning. No trace of the murderer
or murderers had been discovered, and
the neighbors are careful not to express
suspicious, if they have any. The last
seen of either of the murdered women
was on Sunday morning, when one of
them came out and spoke to young
son of Mr.. Chidsey. They were piOus,
peaceful women, having no enemies, and
no cause, except to secure property di-
rect or remote, can be imagined for the
deed.

Undertaking With Stone.

WHEN made of stone underdrains
not only last for all time, but carry off
any surface water much sooner than
tile. In cutting a ditch for drain, the
most expeditions way is to first run
a furrOw with a twO-horSe pillow, as
straight as possible, where the drain is
to be, and on this first furrow back
furrow another of equal width Then,
after shoveling to one side the earth
of which this double furrow is COM
posed, repeat the blowing and shovel
ing by attaching a short chain between
the dOubletree and clevis, to increase
the distance between the two, and thus
cause the pillow to run the required
depth. By this means, i. e., by re-
peated blowing and shOveling out, a
depth of from fifteen to twenty inches
may be obtained, and of the proper
width the drain is to be. This much
done, hitch the two horses, one in front
of the other CAMDEN fashion), to a
single-cOulter pillow, with which rip up
the subsoil and throw out as before =
repeating the operation until the proper
depth is had.
In finishing the bottom of the in
tended drain. care should be taken to
have it of uniform smOOthness through
out its entire length, only sufficiently
inclining toward the mouth to cause the
water to flow with equal freedom
through every part of the drain; other
wise little depressiOns will be left in
the bottom of the drain, in which
sediment will accumulate to such
an extent as to obstruct the free passage
of the water, and thus choke up the
drain and render it useless.
The next thing then is to prepare the
stone for constructing the drain, and
whch-after being hauled in piles all
along the side of the intended drain
should be broken into pieces not larger
than goose eggs, the smaller ones to
take their place in the bottom of the
drain and the larger ones to be thrown
in promiscuOusly until within a foot or
so of the surface, and covering the
same with few leaves from the woods,
to ill the balance of the drain with the
eNcavated earth.
Where low places occur in the field,
on which water is inclined to stand so
a., 20 interfere with their cultivation,
a'.l for which no outlet can be con-
v-niently had by means of a drain,
very good substitute will be found by
digging a hole through the clay some
three or four feet in diameter, filling
the same with stone to within few
inches of the top, and covering with
leaves and earth as above directed. By
this means the water will find a ready
outlet and perfec. drainage will be Sc
cured. Baltimore Sun.
