the Perfumes Tsed by Esypriau>.

The consumption of essences must
have been enormous NJ the highest tide
OF Egyptian splendor, for the people
were actually enjoined to perfume them
selves on Fridays: corpses were anoin;ed
with aromatic essences; shcrbeta and
sweetmeats were favored with fine veg
etable extracts, perfumes filed the air
N every well-to-do house, and saiurat-
ed the letters and presents which were
constantly being exchanged. The ladies
bathed in perfun.eA water, the men used
scented oils for the hair, and both made
use of red, yellow and green soap.
Daring great festivals incense was
burned in all the streets, so that even
The poorest might be regaled by the
mere act of breathing. Nor was there
any lack of narcotics. The mode of
preparing opium, introduced from
SyOot, in Upper Egypt, was well known
and the Sultan Beybars promulgated
several edIcts prohibiting the use of
hasheesh, stupefying aud Intoxicating
preparation OF Indian hemp. In spite
OF the Prophets prohibition, the juice
of the grape continued to be indalged
in. Alcohol Gas its name indicates) is an
Arab discovery. and beer-the favorite
beverage OF the ancient Egyptians
was also brewed and drank under the
Caliphs.
Many iovial song in praise of wine
was sung by Arab poets. and in early
times many Arabs would by no means
admit that the Prophet had forbidden
its use. In an old Ms. copy of Tha'-
alibi it is said 'lhe Prophet-may
God bless him and accept him-per nit
ted wine, and mercifully allows us to
strengthen ourselves with it at our
meals, and TO lift the veil of our cares
and sorrows."

Fancies in >tatiouery p

Designs II illuminated bronzes are among
the latest and most popular novelties, anu
IN them very beautiful effects aIe produced
by various combinations CT metallic colGrs
such as silver, brass, gold and brouze-
and rich tints Of green, blue and cardinal.
The ia ICY for eTotesque designs is very pro-
bounced. and that design is likely to be
the most sought after in which the element
o. whimsicality does hot predominate. In
response to the prejudice in favor of what
is odd and unconventional. the creeping
things have been given a place on paper
and card. Snakes curl themselves on let
ter-paper, lizards in relief, colOred to the
life, dsDort themselves on dinner cards :;
prosaic field vegetables dressed in their
livery of green, illuminate the corners of
note heads, while 81 Irks and owls peer
down from chimney-t)ps snd telegraph
wires. Fishes and insects are also impress
sed into decorative service, and, adapted or
presented in II er realism, they look out
from letter aGs and cards. The dragon
design in Dronze anG green, and that of the
stOrk, in which this much. portrayed fowl
is brilliatly presented in gold and blue,
with beak and claws tipped with red, show
pretty combinations of tInts.
In dinner cards small circular ones show
the usual hOrsl designs, with surprising sd
diiions from tie department of natural his
tory. Realistic frogs turtles, lizards, loO-
sters and dragon flies IN relief, shown in
metallic colCrS tinted after-lmmediaiely
aftcr-nlture, stretch their lazy lengths
across the cards. For cardboard silk is
sometimes substituted, and painted
marine design, with the water indicated,
and a fish OF bronze, with lins, gills and
tail in red, bearing card in his mouth,
swimming therein, showed with charming
effect against background of blue silk,
fringed at the ends.

How Much to Eat.

Having tested Il number of meals III q
general way. eating more or less each
time, find out as near as may he what Is
the proper amount for meal Begin
with a very light breakfast of ordinary
food, such as you have been accustomed
to, and note the number OF hours you
can go without feeling a want of more
food. For a very light breakfast, say
one roll, a cup of coffee and very small
piece of meat, three hours or less will be
found the limit. This is not offered as
rule, but as a suggestion; for It makes
vast difference what yOu do during
those three hours, A given amount Oi
food will go further IN manual labor
than in mental labor. as brain work is
more exhausting than hand work. The
next time try little more, and in the
course of a dozen breakfasts you Will
learn to Judge pretty closely what you
require to carry on your work till the
hour of the next meal Having found
out Just what you need, never, on any
consideration, take more. Never mind
how nice the steak, how tempting any
food may be, shut right down on the
whole eating business the instant yor
have had enough. Too little can be re,
pared by eating light lunch befor,
tue next meal. Too much cannot b,
repaired, and you must pay for the in
discretion. In all this there must b,
plain common sense. Do not initiate
the invalid who kept pair of scales OF

riay Fever.

The prevalence CT hay fever at certain
seasons Of the year is due &c the pollen of
plants which floats in the air. During the
period OF fresh growing vegetation the
atmosphere Is greatly charged with the
fructifying material Of plants, and the pol
len OF some of these plants is more irrita-
ting than that of others 10 those who are
susceptible to hay fever. 1t is thought
that the reason there was less hay fever
the past summer, was that the drought had
SO affected the plants bearing such pol
len as to prevent it from being so etlec-
tive as usual. Our readers doubtless re-
member that We hold that a certain vita
ted state of the blood is necessary to render
The system susceptible to the irritating eff
feet of such pollen. Get the blood III a per-
feclly healthy state and the mucous mem
branes will be correspondingly healthy
ami will resist the irritating effects Of the
obnoxious pollen. People OF good normal
blood are not susceptible.

and cechemiTe. During the first few
months mourning shawls are generally worn
over these suits. For young ladies the
outer garments usually consist of small
vIsites trimmed with Grape. After the first
months of mourning have passed, pelisses
may be employed of vigosne or cache
