Conceits in Stationery and Perfumes.

1t is again the fashion to seal ones letters,
and bangles with seals attached are among
the newest devices in fancy jewelry. As
for stationery, it grows more dainty each
season, and some very quaint devices are
used to head fash ionable French note paper
and envelopes "Papyrus," a rough-e6ged

best form, and when sealed the packet looks

vices. 1t represents large snail with its
house on its back. limitation cards show
some design suggestive of the form of enter

Of dance music from trumpets, horns, and
bugles; dainty and aesthetic supper table,
etc. Note paper headed by appropriate
quotations from the poets is considered
passe; still it is really more used than any
other style of fancy stationery.
There seems TO be a growing Partially
among fashionable young ladies for delicate
perfumes, ami, provided the extracts are of
the best quality and used with discretion,
there is nothing to be said against the liking
for sweet floral orders. Following the fash
ion set by the princess Of Wales who it was
said elected for violet it has become Gus
tomary for ladies TO select a certain perfume
which they individualize, and among a CO

The luxury of a bathroom can b
afforded by only the comparative few who
live in furnace or steam-heated dwellings.
Bathing in cold rooms Is always dangerous;
and yet the farmers, mechanics and many
others who are sble to have few Injuries,
can afford least of all TO do without the com
fort and refreshment of frequent bathing
after soilsome days works The first means
of resting is to make ones self clean IL
moro farmers realized this, not so many or
them would leave the harvest field or
threshing machine covered with the sweat
and dust Of the day, eat hasty supper and
20 10 bed as soon as the chores are done,
sleeping in the same soied undergarments
they have worn all day.
They always get up tired Why's Resting
: consists Of two processes-throwing off the
effete matter Of the body and assimilating
new supply Of fresh material from the blood
Now when the farmer, OF anybody else. goes
TO bed in the soiled underclothes Of the day,
with his skin covered with thin coating OF
dust and perspiratiOn, the system can't get
rid of is effete matter. because The pores are
clogged up; while the absorbents OF the skin
actually convey back into the system the
poisonous matter once thrown off, but
which has been allowed 10 remain
on the skin and clothes 1t should
be thu rule Of all never to go to bed dirty.
For morning bathing. cold water is the most
invigorating; but the tepid bath is the righs
thing for the evening. when one Is tired.
And, unless enc has wel-appointed bath
room in a furnace heated house, we recon-
mend the spoage bath as the quickest neat
est and most satisfaos DRY method.
The thou htful housewife who wants her
family TO lathe often, must make it con.
venient and comfortable for them to do so.
In the summer it is capital idea to curtain
of one corner of the woo1shed for this pur-
pose, laying down clean boards or bricks.
and placing at hand a plentiful supply of
towels, soap and water In the winter cur
tain of warm corner of the kitchen; place
a square mat Of oil cloth or bagging on the
floor; hang on peg common tin bath tub
or have a large wash bowl on a corner shelf;
I and have ready generous supply of towels,
sponges, soap, combs, tooth and nail brushes,
and a looking glass When not IN use, all
these articles can be hung up, out OF the
way, and the curtain drawn aside, leaving
the space free for ordinary purposes.
She who provides such comfortable
place, and supplies all needed conveniences
for bathing, will have little trouble in teach
ing her family to keep clean, and they will
find much rest and refreshment in doing so.
She should also provide plenty Of night
clothes for ali, male and female, and see
that no one wears the soiled day under
clothes to sleep in Air the night clothes by
day, and the day clothes by night

case. A vulnerable senator, who took his
seat in the senate in 1851, and became one

1T is wonderful sir, how some women will
push others aside in the struggle for social

A Hideous Fancy.

A LADY Rambler OF St Paul, Mimi,
writes thus of barbarous fashion there:
"There seems TO be hideous fancy just now
for decorating black bonnets with white
beads. The designs are evidently symbolic,
perhaps they are tokens of tribes, ranging
from small wreaths of flowers to birds and
animals of most unnatural appearance. One
would imagine that somebody had been

with a thick drab veil drawn over her face

every male being Of ner acquaintance she

shores Of various sections Of our land.
On Wednesday last. after most ex-
citing canvass, Atlanta, Georgia, one
OF tho most lovely and prosperous
cities Of the South, adopted local
option. Nearly the entire State is
now under this law. Throughout
the entire South, the interest in this
great cause is increasing. The tenn
perance people are determined that
the law shall be enforced, and every
safeguard is being thro around it.
1t is to be hoped that the difficulties
met with in Annapolis, in the enforce
ment of the law, may not be repeated
there. -
