TOILET PERFUMES.
| What Fastidious Women Use-HoW Va
rious Scents Affect the Nerves.


rious Scents Affect the Nerves.
The fashionable belle uses some fine
perfume, but not on her dress and hand
kerchief. Her arms, neck and face are
bathed in scented water or rosewater
and benzoin are dropped in the basin OF
water Then she dusts her skin over
with some soft poudre de riz delicately
perfumed. Into her bath violet, rose OF
lavender toilet water is dropped. The
toilet bags, filed with almond meal,
violet orr4s and finely cut CASTLE SOAP
are an inexpensive luxury, and when
placed in a tub of warm water give
forth charming fragrance. aside from
| delicately pertaining and identifying
| the skin.
| Many persons prefer the use of sachet
powder to liquid perfumes. The most
effectual way to use the powder is to
make pads of cheesecloth or thin silk
exactly the size of ones bureau draw
ers, line them with sheet wadding free
ly sprinkled with either violet, hello
trope, rose-or, in fact whatever odor
one prefers-and tack the wadding
down as if quilting.
The wearing of sachet bags in the
dress has long since been given up by
tidious women sprinkle rose leaves and
lavender among their linen or cambria
wearing apparel, reserving the dainty
extracts for high toilet or evening use.
Even then they are used but sparingly.
The eyebrows, lobes of the ears and the
few stray hairs that will fall at the back
of the neck are all gently touched with
ones favorite perfume, or perhaps the
hair is lightly sprayed all over with
some sweet floral perfume OF toilet wa
ter.
AS a rule refined women prefer violet,
white lilac, heliotrope or rose perfumes,
objecting to the heavier scents on &C
count of their unpleasant effects on the
delicate olfactory nerves.
Some very clever scientist recently
announced that different perfumes have
corresponding effects on the nerves. Fol
instance, the artificial or chemical prep
arations made from the orange bios
som, tuberose, lily of the valley or jas
mine, if used to any extent, it i
claimed, would lower the action of tn,
heart and are distinctly depressing
Altar of rose or white rose perfume
produces contrary effect. Violet ant
heliotrope perfumes have quieting in
fluence on the nerves, as has also musk
which latter, however, is seldom o
never used by refined women. 1t is ais
> claimed that sweet odors are as essentia
to the human body and mind as is foo
and drink. A few drops of eau de &C
logne on a lump of sugar will give re
freshing fragrance to the breath, bu
one should eschew all use of highl
scented breath perfumes, as they are til
height of bad taste, says The Standar
; Designer in concluding the foregoin
hints on the present use of perfumes

THE ELECTION.
Lessons Drawn from the Result by
the Press.

Atlanta Constitution.
For a year or more the gold organs
have been burying "Bryanism''-
meaning by that concise expression
the principles represented in the Dem
ocratic platform.
Yesterday the people of several
states spoke, and the result will be a
sudden and violent interruption of
the funeral services
Tak"n as a whole the result of yes
terday's election is surprisingly
gra THY ing. and it is an omen of still
greater success. 1t means that the
Democratic platform is supreme "a
the nndisputed party standard, aud
that from this day hencetorth the
boiling mugwumps may do their
worst with perfe indifference to the
regular party Their claws have
been clipped, and they may be turned
loose with safety.

says: 1.-The South is destined to
become one of the great manufactur-

field for educated artisans and ne
chanics is steadily growing and the
demand is constantly increasing.
The South needs archaeological
schools for training and educating

wood and iron workers, mill and fac
tory operators an! managers, textile

on the verge of deadlock late yesterday,

bill, was determined to secure time for

Mr.. Turpie and Mr.. Villas Thereupon
Mr.. Morgan announced that he would ask
the senate to sit out the bill, remaining In
continuous session until vote was forced.
This evoked sharp criticism MIR. WAS

roll call disclosed the absence OF
quorum, and Mr. Morgan was Obliged to
give up his plan temporarily, although he
expects to execute it If an agreement Tor

cluded his speech against the Nicaraguan
canal bill, the third day being u continu.
