Greek scnlntnra.


 Among the art-writers of Germany no one deserves higher place than Carl Fried erichs, late professor of the History of the Fine Arts in the University of Berlin, and assistant director of the Berlin Museum. His uatimely death is an irreparable loss to scholarship and to art. Friederichs, better than any other writer, hit the happy mean between prolixity and barrenness His de- scriptions are satisfactory and do not fa- tigue. Moreover his mind was so we'll b al- anced and his disposition was so modest that his writings are free from controversy and egotism. His statements are always calm be- cause he loved art better than his own opin- ions of it.
 Friederichs' Baustaine ia but a collection ot simple descriptions of the plaster casts in the Berlin Museum, yet there is no book, so good, to be placed in the hands of the young student of Greek sculpture The descrip- tons are arranged chronologically, divided into art periods, each period introduced by short statement of it's characteristics.
 As the Berlin Museum contains casts of all well known ancient statues, the Bausteine starts at the beginnings of Greek sculpture, gradually unfolds the principles that led to it's perfect development and follows 1t through degeneraey to it's end''
 The above is an extract from the preface of work of Prof. T. Cady Eatons in which he has translated and edited selections from the Bausteine to meet the taste that is begin ming to show itself in this country No bet ter assured process for purifying taste is of fered than the study of Greek sculpture, and this book, published in numbers, will be found useful as 8 catalogue when casts are collected, and as guide to societies interest Der IS now ready and can be procured at Judas

Eccentricities of Beauty.

Ereaks o1 Be Beauties 8 Thousand Years
 Ago-The Uncfvilized Belle
 Undoubtedly there is much idle talk about the wonderful extravagance of ladies of the present day, their pursuit of constantly changing styles, and the luxuries demanded by those who can or think they can afford the expense. One would be glad to suppose, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, that these were things of modern growth. But just look at the s'style" they used to put on in the early ages, and their enormous ex- travagance. We are told that the ladies of Lesbos slept on roses whose perfume had been artiGcially heightened. And in those times court maidens powdered their hair with gold. Marc Anthony's daughter did not change her dress half dozen times day, as do the Saratoga graces, but she made the lampreys in her fish pond wear earrings. The dresses of Lollia Paulina, the rival of Aggripina, were valued at $2, ,664, 4S0. This did not include her jewelry. She wore at ore supper $1, ,562, 800 worth of jewels, and 1t was plain citizens supper. The luxury of Poppase, beloved by Nero, was equal to that of Lollia
 The women of the Roman empire indulged in all sorts of luxuries and excesses, and these were revived under Napoleon I. in France. Mme- Tallien bathed herself in wash of strawberries and raspberries and had herself rubbed down with sponges dipped in milk and perfume.
 An albanian belle Of to day presents rather striking appearance, She is, Gs a rule, coiled with seed pearls and coins, and enveloped in a black serge pelisse. She uses paint on her face profusely, and her taste runs to cherry lips and cheeks and jet black eyebrows strongly drawn. An Albanian bride Giscards paint for a while, and, if wealthy, wears suit something like this Rose colored under robes, with an over-robe of dark green velvet, the idea being taken from rosebud half opened, in it's leaves. Thus atrayed, the girl of handsome features is said to look really bewitchipg
 The Tartars despise prominent nasal ap- pendages, and the woman who has the smallest nose is esteemed the most Charming, but ta outside barbarians she is perfect fright.
 The women of Spit, in India, wear tunics and trousers of woolen stuff, with large boots, partly of leather, partly of blanket, which come to the knee and which they are fond of taking off at any time. In order to get greater warmth they often put 8 quanti- ty of flour into these boots beside their legs. Their taste in regard to ornaments runs much to all sorts of rings, including nose | rings.
 A typical woman in the interior of Africa is thus described: 'sHer naked negro skin was lesthery, coarse and wrinkled her figure was tottering and knock-kneed her thin hair hung in greasy locks on her wrists and ankles she had almost an arsenal of metal links of iron, brass and copper, strong enough to bind prisoner in his cell. About her 1 neck were hanging chains of iron, strips of | leather, strings of woolen balls, and heaven knows what more lumber" .,ea

Legtslatfve Notes.

The Railroad committee has agreed to make favorable report on Senator Plum kett's bill amending the general railroad law so as, among other changes, to permit con- meeting roads to consolidate and make joint stock, whether such roads are or are not in actual operation. The bill meets the wishes of the incorporators of the Hartford and Harlem road, who desire to make joint stock with roads from the Connecticut line to the Harlem river, whose charters they hold by purchase.

The F4nrtford and Harlem.

The Railroad committee of the Legislature having reported favorably on the petition of the Hartford and Harlem railroad managers, the friends of the project feel much encour- aged.
 Should the committees recommendation be adopted by the Legislature, the enterprise will be relieved of all embarrassment in the matter of making consolidation of one sec- tion in this State with section in another. The capital stock is $5, 900, ,00O and the esti- mated cost of the road is $8, 900, ,OO0. With out the consolidation, two sets of mortgages, one for the New York and one for this State would have been necessary. $. B. Baldwin yesterday remarked that the consolidation bill equally favored the Connecticut Boston and Air Line, but he doubted if it's promet- CTS had serious intentions of building the road He thought they intended to sell out, but had very little to sell and claimed that while the original Parallel and the Connecti- cut, Boston and Air Line might bother the Hartford and Harlem, yet it was doubtful if the promoters would be allowed to perfect their application for hearing on their lay out. AS to the Hartford and Harlem road the contracts for it's construction would be gwen out early in the summer, provided they secured an approval of the layout. The work of building it would be commenced at both ends and would probably be mostly completed in about years time It was to be double track road all the way through, with easy curves and grades, and built in the best manner.
 Mr. Baldwin had no confidence in the sue cess of the project known as the Boston and Inland road. He thought it preposterous that a road costing S3O COG, 900 or $40 OOO,- 900 should be built solely to carry through passenpers

WilSOnia Magnetic
 MUTUAL Insurance.

The universality of applying Electro Mag netism a curative of all forms of chronic diseases is only question of time, and req son for this assertion can be given from scientific standpoint, through logical reason ing. The only hindrance to the universal adoption of Wilsonia is that all who apply it expect to be affected by the magnetic cur rents in similar manner and with the ssme promptness, which can never be. Suscepti- bilities to the magnetic influences are varied, and one of the most remarkable features of this treatment in our experience is the marked difference exhibited by individuals in this respect, hence the greater rapidity of cure in some than in others. If the susceptibility to the magnetic influence is slow,yet by con- stant, persistent infusion of magnetic cur rents disease must eventually yield, if the is able. Wilsopia Magnetic Appliances have been last resort in very many cases and have proved success ful in curing all forms of disease We do earnestly invite all chronic sufferers from the country we'll as those in our city, to visit our office. We have seldom known Rerson who was not favorabiy imp ressed after full investigation and explanation garding the Wilsonia.
 We continue our guarantee for Catarrh, Dyspepsia and Rheumatism, or half the money refunded.
