Grecian Beauty.

Much has been said in praise of Gre
clan beauty, and the men are handsome
in every sense of the word we might
we'll imagined them to have been the
models of Phidias and Praxiteles.
Their large eyes, black as jet, sparkle
with glances Of fire, while the long silky
eye-lashes soften the expression and
give a dreamy appearance of melan-
choly. Their teeth are small, white and
we'll set; fine regular profile, a pale
olive complexion, and tall, elegant
figure realize an accomplished type of
distinction. As to the women, they
seem to have left physical perfection to
the men; some possess fine eyes and
hair, but as a rule they have bad figures,
and some defect in the face generally
spoils the good features. It is among
them, however, that the old Oriental
customs are most strictly preserved !;
while the men are gradually undergoing
the process of civilization, they, in a
moral point of view, remain stationary,
and are just as they were fifty years ago.
1t may, indeed, be said that, with the
exception of Athens, the women possess
no individual existence. and count as
nothing in society; the men have re-
served every privilege for themselves,
leaving to their helpmates the care of
the house and family. In the towns,
where servants are kept, they are of the
poorest class Of peasant, who know
nothing, and who receive miserable
wages. The families are generally
large-seven or eight little children
demand mothers constant attention.
The morning begins by directing the
work of each servant, repeating the
same thing hundred times, scolding,
screaming; even beating them, to be un-
derstood. In the evening, when the
children are sleeping, if there remain
some little time, the poor WORKOUT
mother sits down to her spinning-wheel
to spin silk, to sew, or knit, or, if it be
summer time, to look after her silk
worms and cocoons, happy if she has
not to do the work of her incompetent
servants over again.

The Curse OF scotland.

In distracted state OF the country
during the reign of Mary man named
George Campbell attempted to steal the
crown out of Edinburg castle. He did
not succeed in getting away with the
crown itself, but did manage to abstract
nine valuable diamonds and to get off
with them out of the country. To re-
place these heavy tax was laid upon
the people, which, being found burden
some and oppressive, wasby them termed
the "Curse of Scotland" the crown
itself was called George Campbell"
Another explanation relates to the
massacre of Glencoe, which is we'll re-
membered. The order for this cruel
deed was signed by the eldest son of the
Earl of Stair, who was at that time sec
rotary of state for Scotland. The coat
Of arms of this family bears nine dia-
monds on its shield; and the indignant
people, not daring to stigmatize the
lord of stair as the course of Scotland"
applied the term to his shield.
Still another solution-and equally
good-relates to the battle of Cullo-
den, the result of which extinguished
the hopes of the Stuarts, and was at
that time regarded as national curse.
The Duke of Cumberland, who was
known to be very fond of cards, and
who always carried a pack in his pocket,
when he had made his victory of Cullo-
den complete, took a card from his
pocket and wrote thereon dispatch
his victory; and that card
proved to be the nine Of diamondsl

Fashion Notes.

Hair cut short on the top of the head
for curling is called terraced in the
South.
Cheap prints trimmed with the most
costly lace are the proper costumes for
French watering places.
White Leghorn hats, covered with
rows of pearl-beaded Spanish lace, and
+, trimmed with four or five short ostrich
tips and cluster of jacqueminot roses
to brighten the whole, are extremely
stylish for summer wear.
English dressmakers continue to use
a little more embroidery ON those pretty
pongee suits by setting an apron under
the opening of the polonaise. They
soften the rigidity of the. shoulder cape
by giving it border Of thick fringe
matching the pongee.
Flounces for the back breadths and
an apron for the front, and founces for
the front breadths and drapery for the
back, are equally fashionable. Flounces
for the side breadths and drapery in
front and back is style of skirt yet to
be worn by some bold spirit, but It will
come, possibly.
Making grenadine dress has never
been a joyful task, and there have been
seamstresses who would refuse TO take
a needle in hand to work upon one, but
they are worse than ever this summer.
So long as grenadine skirts were simply
draped, and only had to have their
seams run evenly, the only difficult
work about them was hemming but
now, when the whole front breadth is
often covered with fine knife plating
there are as many stitches in grena,
dine as there should be in a silk. The
distinctive beauty of the material, it's
airiness, is entirely spoiled by this
treatment, and it looks heavy and for
NAL.
Lace collars, fichus, etc., are often
made with tinted silk lisse. The latest
collars are of two or three rows of Bre-
ton, vermicelli or other. light lace, each
row falling Slightly over the one below
and the top row being fastened on the
inside, the edge falling instead of stand
ing around the neck as formerly. Puff
fngs of tulle, null or silk or also used
in place of collars and ruffles ct the
neck. Jabots Of lace are as popular as
ever and are confined at the throat, as
are most neck trimmings, by fanciful
lace pin. A small bow, similar to the
large one worn at the left side as fas-
tening for the satin belt, are also worn.
Bows and loops OF two-inch satin rib
bon are usually placed OF different places
on the skirt, matching the neck and
waist. bows in color, though often of a
different width of ribbon, the widest he
!. ing placed at the waist.-New Yorh

Z scnhbx Lcrs In Poultry.


The unsightly disease which affects
the legs of fowls, causing them to swell
and to become distorted, is due to o
mite. q small insect which is similar in
appearance to that which causes scab in
sheep. It is roundish oval and semi
transparent, about one-eight hundredth
Of an inch in length, appearing, when
magnifed, 400 diameters, about half an
inch long. II enc scales from the legs
Of q diseased fowl are beneath the mi
croscope q number Of these mites may
be found between them. Beneath the
scales there ara spongy, scabby growth,
in which the eggs and pup@ Of the mites
are to be seen in great numbers. The
pup@ are very similar in shape to the
mature mites, but are very much smaller,
appearing when viewed with the above
mentioned power, about one-tenth of an
inch in length. The disease being of a
similar character to the scah in sheep,
or the mango in dogs and cattle, it may
be cured by the same treatment. If this
disagreeable affection is suffered to re-
main in the flock while one fowl is
troubled with it, it will certainly spread,
as the mites will burrow beneath the
scales of the other fowls. If precautions
were generally used the parasite could
soon been exterminated. 1t should be
made disqualification ct poultry shows
for fowls to be affected with scabby legs
or feet in any degree whatever, for we
know that several poultry yards are not
free from this disease, and whenever
affected fowls are sent out disease goes
with them.-American Agricult,1ist.
