Boxwood and Its Uses.

The lockwood of commerce is tree
of considerable size, attaining to a
height of so feet. 1t is native of
the islands of the Mediterranean, and
grows in Turkey, Asia Minor and
around the shores of the Black Sea.
The wood possesses delicate yellow
color, is very dense in structure and
has u fine uniform grain, which you
will find that Piso's Cure cures II
cough much quicker that any other
medicine, and yet does not dry it up.
gives it unique value for the purposes
of the wood engraver. In addition
to the ever-increasing demand for the
wood by engravers, very large
amount is used in the manufacture of
rules, various mathematical instru-
ments, flutes and other musical instru-
ments, as well as for turning into
many minor articles, and for inlaying,
and is favorite wood for small cary
ings. The use of lockwood for turnery
and musical instruments is mentioned
by Pliny, Virgil and Ovid. The
quantity of the wood which passes
out from Constantinople yearly is esti-
mated ut from 5000 to 1000 tons,
with al out 1900 tons more Of IL
ferior and small pieces. While the
consumption is continually increasing,
the present sources of supply are rap
idly becoming exhausted, the forests
| n ear the sea are denuded of their best
trees, and access to the wood growing
| in the interior of the countries around
the Black Sea is difficult owing to the
want of means of internal commune
cation. The subsequent increase of
the cost of lockwood has led to fire.

woods for the purpose of the wood en-

substitutes proposed have hitherto
been found to possess the necessary
combination of properties.

How gladly would toll! all rest forcgo;
Vain wish-true manhood Is not nurtured so;
As stands the sapllng 'gainst the north WINDS

The Able Delille dressed his hair with
rose-colored powder. During tho
reign of Stephen, the young gentlemen
wore their hair so long that they re-
sembled women. adding artificial hair
to lengthcn that which nature gave
them. In the reign Of John, the gen.
tlemen curled their hair with crisping.
irons and bound il with ribbons; and
in the time OF Richard Ill the hair
was sometimes parted in the middle
and curled at the sides, the ringlets
being confined with jcwcled band.
At various periods jewelry was much
worn by gentlemen. The Greeks and
Romans wore bracelets, these being
sometimes awards for valor. Neck
laces, too, were worn, especially
by the Egyptians and Pcrsians. The
Britons wore necklaces of twisted wire,
these being symbol of command. In
the reign of Henry w., of England, a
collar appeared, called "The Collar of
S. s." This was a golden band, on
which the letter S was engraved in
several places, and which was worn by
both sexes. Men wore earrings, as
wise a man as Shakespeare not dis
daining them; and finger-rings and
brooches were worn then as now.
Lace was once as much worn
by gentlemen as by ladies. This
fancy was not confined to tops, but
extended to Kings, ecclesiastics, states
men and warriors. Pictures are extant
of Gustavus Adolphus wearing large
lace collar. Mazarin, though engaged
in as important matter as the seigs
of city, thought his laces of enough
Importance to carry on CORE
spondence with Colbert regarding the
purchase of some costly points.
Louis XVI, at the time of his death,
possessed fifty-nine pairs Of lace ruff.
fles. The same fashion prevailed
in England. The tops of boots
were trimmed with lace; it was worn
as collars, neckties, and ruffles; carriers
were decorated with the costly fabric,
shoe rosettes were made of 1t, and
even night-caps gloried in frills Of point
lace.
Pepys, in his diary, tells us that on
the Lords Day, October 10, 1862. he
put on his new lace band, land" he
continued, $50 neat it Is that am re-
solved my great expense shall be lace
bands, and 1t will set of any thing else
the more" The thoughts of this gen.
tleman, like the thoughts Of many gen
tlemcn of his day, we're considerably
occupied by the subject of dress. In
his diary he makes several records con-
corning this matter: Lords Day, up,
and put on my new stuff suit, with q
shoulder-belt, according to tho new
fashion, and the hands of my vest and
unique laced with silk lace Of the color
of my suit: and so very handsome to
church."
While the present style of dress may
be less fantastical, and, perhaps, more
in accordance with the fitness Of
things, it is certainly less attractive
and less becoming. The wheel OF
fashion, that makes SO many evolu'
tons where the dress of women is con.
cerncd, may some time do the same
for men, and bring back the feathers
of the cavaliers and the earrings Of
the Shakespeareanperiod. -Demorcsr'
