About Perfumes.

One always thinks that sweet-smell-
ing waters and dainty extracts of flow
ers should be found on the dressing
table of the woman who likes to have
her belongings entirely free from the
odor of the laundry; but in choosing
these odors be careful not to get one
among them all that is heavy or op-
pressive. Avoid anything that suggests
patchouli or musk, and give your prefer
ence rather to the odors extracted from
the sweet wild flowers, or from those
that grow in gardens and yet. do not
have to be nursed the winter through.
Purple and white violet, white lilac,
white rose and white lily are all deli
cate and refined perfumes, and seem en-
tirely free from the vulgar smell that
attaches itself to many others. The
violet is particularly sweet-the air of
the very foliage saeTning to attach itself
to it. Be careful, think over the MANY
desirable scents, and avoid, as you
would bizarre costume, anything that
would seem to suggest an intense per-
fume that announces your coming and
stamps you as unrefned. Ladies' Home

The Treatment Of WRINKLES.

How many inquiries are read in the
papers concerning the prevention and
cure of wrinkles. Some of the sugges-
tons are simple and trial could do no
possible harm, but it is safest to beware
of those methods which suggest anv
very radical mode of treatment, that is,
unless you have the advice of reliable
physician. A famous beauty of the last
generation prevented wrinkles by clos
ing her eyes and keeping her features
perfectly composed for the space of ten
minutes several times during the day.
A remedy which a friend of mine has
invented for her own case, she having
bad wrinkles on her forehead, is to use
the message treatment night and morn
ing and at bedtime, after rubbing the
wrinkles out, to cut narrow strips of
court-plaster which she sticks across
them. For the sake of my friend hope
this method will prove as successful as
the court-plaster treatment did in the
case of a young mother, who plastered
back her infants turnover ears until
they grew into place. -Philadelphia Ia.

EXPERIMENTS IN SPIRITS.

Drinking Various Alcoholic Compounds In
the Interest of Science.
Mr.. Samuel, from the English GUS
toms department, recently gave evil
dence of an important character. show
ing the results of experiments he had
made in the admixture of fusel oil with
brandy. In October last he added five
per cent. of fusel oil TO brandy, which,
he said, was large percentage. The
effect of this mixture was that in a
short time the brandy lost its charac-
teristics as such. Later he tried one
per cent, which produced similar Of
feet. Speaking of experiments upon
himself the witness stated that the eff
feet of brandy TO which five per cent. of
fusel oil had been added, taken to the
extent of three fluid ounces a day for
nineteen consecutive days, with the ex-
ception of Sundays, was very similar to
that Of ordinary spirit drinking. Ex-
periments made upon his assistant with
pure alcohol were attended with re-
markable results. He was compelled
to give up the experiments in two or
three days in consequence of the ILL
ness which supevened.
The chairman asked II the witness
was aware that ether drinking largely
prevailed in Ireland. The witness re-
piled that he knew of the fact through
the newspapers, and had read an arti-
Gle on the subject in monthly maya
zine recently. He had made repeated
attempts to drink ether in its ordinary
state, but had failed. owing to the diff
ficulty in swallowing il. The efforts to
swallow it caused his eyes TO stream

DRUNKENNESS AS A CRIME.

an interesting ccheme Tor the Restraint
of Moderate Drinkers.
The right of man to drink one glass
of whisky is not to be disputed; the
right of man to drink dozen glasses
of whisky may be questioned seriously.
This right, indeed. is the subject of "a
rather ridiculous controversy waged in
the Arena, in which DR.. Henry A.
HART combats the theory that drunken
ness is uniformly an inherited disease
and holds it to be a voluntary lunacy."
He does not, of course, deny that it
may become a disease in a certain class
of cases, but dipsomania. he SAYS, is al
ways the result of a continuous habit
OF vicious indulgence in drink. and for
dipsomaniacs special asylums should be
provided, in which due medical care
and treatment should be furnished. i'm
