Clean. White Hands.

The independent Practitioner, under the head
ing "A dentist should have clean, white hands"
says:
THE following hints will be found of service
in accomplishing the desired end. A. little am
monia or borax added to the water you wash
your hands with, and that water just luke-warm,
will keep the skin clean and soft A little oat-
meal mixed with water will whiten the hands.
Many people use glycerine on their hands when
they go to bed, wearing gloves to keep the bed
ding clean, but glycerine does not agree with
every one. 1t makes the skin hard and red.
THESE people should rub their hands with dry
oatmeal and wear gloves in bed. The best prep
aration for the hands at night is white of egg
with grain of alum dissolved in it. White of
egg, barley flour and honey is a good application
but not better than oatmeal The toughest and
hardest hands can be made soft and white in a
months time by doctoring them a little at bed
time, and all that is required is nail brush, a
bottle OF ammonia, box Of powdered borax and
little fine white sand to rub the stains off, or
cut of lemon, which will do even BETTER for the
acid of the lemon will clean anything"

Furs and Fur Trimmings.

New York Evening Post
There is but little change to note in the fash
ion of furs The most important this season is
the introduction of a pelerine with long ''stole"
fronts, very much after the style of the cape
with very longasquare ends worn over hundred
years ago. This handsome garment will be
worn by number of leaders of fashion who
have brought it among their list of
garnered treasurers from abroad There
is great style. however, in the
brevity of the back which displays the tournure
and the rich fabric of the dress. and the long
ends which, upon a stately figure, give an APP
pearance of unusual distinction. In other ee
CANT garments for more general wear are sur
touts, pelisses, Newmarkets and paletots long
and luxurious. and in short wraps which display
the skirts of handsome costumes. are models in
visite jacket dolman and pelerine shapes, the
latter reaching the waist line only Upon
new pelerines very rich ornamental clasps are
seen, one at the throat, another few inches be-
low it. The ascendancy of dark furs this season
is only in keeping with the preference for deep
hued colors in every portion of street attire,
which, with women of refined and cultivated
tastes, has passed beyond caprice OF fashion.
and reached a fixed principle. Gray and golden
brown furs are about the only exception to the
rule, and these are used as Innings and trimmings.

their acquired position, and will be even more
fashionable this winter then ever before. Sets

of silk plush has reached such degree of rich

only real rival to fur. Fur trimmings will be
largely used this winter, the fashion in

Young girls wear jackets finished with hoods

Wooden jersey bodices are worn with shirts of

slightest tinge of zinc in it, but is a soft. beaut-
full tint, which gathers metallic shades after
gaslight.
With the trim, close-ftting, talor-made cos
tune large ample brimmed hat seems incon-
sistent. The small, snug toque, with it's simple
folds and smooth, glossy, feather trimmings, is
most appropriate, but the style is too severe to
suit all people, and would be unsuitable for any
woman far past middle age. The long-popular
French bonnet, with its medium-siZe crown and
coronet front or brm but slightly protruding. is
always lady-like, always elegant-lookng, and as
becoming as any bonnet of whatever shape or
fancy, can ever be.

made of rows of embroidery with high collar,

cut square in the neck have the opening bor-

PROHIBITION IN ATLANTA.

The new local option law under which At
lanta, Georgia, voted to prohibit the sale of
liquor within its boundaries, went into
force on Wednesday, the 3Oth of June. If
we may Judge from the Atlanta Capitol the
day preceding was marked by scenes scarcely
less exciting than those attendant upon the
capture of the city by Sherman in his famous
march to the sea. AT ali early hour, says
the Capitol, 'the saloons in the city were
crowded with men filling themselves up to
the highest notch, and providing for the NOR
row." Extra forces Of clerks were employed
in all the liquor shops, and hundreds Of new
tunnels were bought to expedite the filling of
little brown jugs, casks, bottles and various
other receptacles. The scene as depicted in
a woodcut, which the veracious artist says
was taken from life, is certainly lively one.
A hundred men or so, each with jug in
his hand, are pushing, crowding and even
fighting for the first chance enter the pre-
