POINTERS FoR MEM

Mems rings are usually worn ON the
little finger Of the left hand or the
right hand. Seal rings, or polished
gold ones with monograms engraved
upon them, are the preferred styles.
Seal rings are used for sealing letters,
and are, therefore, rs useful as they
are ornamental. Merely decorative
rings are seldom seen on mems hands.
Cosmetics, or face washes OF any
kind, are not for the use of men. You
will find. by taking cold baths every
morning, by vigorous exercise, and by
refraining from eating rich food, that
your complexion will soon be relieved
from oiliness. Pimples are indications
OF impurities Of the blood, which can
becured by regular habits and healthy
regime.
Morning Weddings.-The black cut
away coat is not the garment pre-
scribed for either morning or after
noon weddings. Wear n black frock
coat and waistcoat, light cashmere
trousers and patent leather boots, a
white Ascot or four-in-hand tie. and
gloves of earl gray or white kid. This
would also be appropriate for bride
groom when the bride is married in
her travelling dress.
Evening Weddings.-The costume for
the bridegroom consists of dress coat,
waistcoat and trousers, white shirt,
high collar, white tie and patent leather
shoes. If you and your bride are to
take the train Immediately after the
ceremony, and she is to wear q trav-
cling gown, then you should wear frocll
coat and light trousers, black or fancy
waistcoat, white four-in-hand tie and
gray gloves.
Sunday Evening.-Although the ma
jority of very fashionable men wear
evening dress always after dusk gen
eral exception is made in favor of Sun
day evening. A young man is best EN-
ployed on that evening in attending
church service or in visiting very in
innate friends. 1t is q time set apart
for rest, worship and the family. Even
ing dress is seen in church only at
evening weddings.
The first dance is supposed to belong
by right to the young man who ac-
companies the young lady dnd her
chaperon to ball. he is also supposed
to have the privilege Of taking her in
to supper. lie may also ask her for
as many dances us he thinks proper.
bu. he must be careful not to claim her
entire attention, as such conduct would
imply an engagement, and consequent
ly would be embarrassing to the young
lady.-LRdies' Home journal.

The Kinds of Currency That Are Used by
Foreign Countries.
The Bank of England note is inches
by 8 in dimensions and is printed IN
black ink on Irish linen water lined pa.
per, plain white, with ragged edges.
The notes CT the BanQue de France are
made of white water lined paper, print.
ed in blue and black, with numerous
NEUROLOGICAL and allegorical pictures,
and running i'll denomination from the
20 franc note to the 1000 franc. South
American currency, in most countries,
is about the size and appearance of
American bills, except that cinnamon
brown and slate blue are the prevailing
colors and that Spanish and Portuguese
are the prevailing languages engraved
ON the face.
The German currency is rather ar
tistic. The bills are printed in green
and black. They run in denominations
from to 1000 marks. These latter
bills are printed on silk fiber paper.
The Chinese paper currency is in red,
white and yellow, with gilt lettering
and gorgeous little hand drawn devices
The bills, to the ordinary financier,
might pass for washing bills, but they
are worth good money in the Flowery
Kingdom. Italian notes are of all sizes,
shapes and colors. The smaller bills, 8
and 10 lire notes, are printed on white
paper in pink, blue and carmine inks
and ornamented with finely engraved
vignette Of King Humbert.
The 100 ruble note of Russia is barred
from top to bottom with all the colors
of the rainbow, blended as when shown
through prism. In the center, in bold
relief, stands large, finely executed
vignette Of the Empress Catherine l.

not at all intricate or elaborate, but is

rency as a protection against counter
feiting. Golden Days.

BEAUTIFUL FLORENCE.
A City Praised For Its Good Manners an
Harmonious Surroundings.

A City Praised For Its Good Manners and
Harmonious Surroundings.
If | wished TO teach an awkward
child. youth or girl good manners by
example, | should send him or her to
Florence, says writer to Truth lion
dom. There may be i'll hammered per-
sons there, but l never saw one. Poor
people behave with the suave dignity
which used in England to stamp the
lady or gentleman. Most persons are
brainy, but cleverness is not eager to
shine. 1t is very subdued and more oily
than corrosive. The charm of Florence
steals on one like the wit of its clever
inhabitants. The senses are soothed in
all directions by harmonious manners
and objects. Architects understood Chi
aroscuro not less than the great painters
and seulptors. One never wearies of the
streets and public buildings. Their as
poets constantly and strongly vary, &C
cording to the course of the sun. Lights
and shades at 10 in the forenoon are
wholly different from what they will
be at 4 in the afternoon. The Floren-
tine women have interesting though not
beautiful faces. But one has only to
walk into the market to see country
girls who would have done for models
for RaphaeI's Virgin mothers. One is
struck in the galleries with the nice
Judgment with which the pictures are
hung. What more lofty in sentiment
than the tomb of Lorenzo de- Medici?
Loftiness is an attribute of Florentine
architecture, palatial or domestic. The
doors of private houses might pass in
England for portals. One feels them to
be great facts in their way.
Talking of harmonious things re-
minds me of the Boboli gardens. Is
there a spot in England, the land Of
stately and lovely seats, that at all ap-
proaches them? In situation and tran
quill, generous loveliness l can only
think of one-the Duke of Northumber-
land terraced gardens at his place in
Surrey. The Boboli Eden, where the
Prince and Princess of Naples still court
seclusion, has the advantage over the
Surrey paradise Of being under a reveal
ing sky. Every shade of greenery, every
floral hue, - we'll brought out. One sees
the faultless texture of statues and
fountains mellowed by time. In so
strong a light we'll ordered design is
required AID one has it. The marbles
are the climax. They are to the horti-
cultural beauties as brilliants to the
lace and satin of a fine wcman's dress.
Florence is not what it was in the
grand ducal days. Still, it retains the
air Of a capital with long and illus,
trious history. The ladies' dresses are
only provincial when measured by the
Paris standard, to which Italian wom-
EN- above the peasant class generally
submit-more's the pity. Paris fashions
only suit Frenchwomen, unless applied
by French hairdressers and femmes dc
chambIe. An English or German face
under a Paris hat or bonnet Is at a
dreadful disadvantage if the hair has
not been first dressed by French art
iste capillaire, He places the hat,
through the medium of the hair, in
harmonious relation with the face. l
fancy these French coitfeurs are not
much employed by Italian ladies'

Paper coated with an emulsion, which
when printed and toned gives a clear
white with blush tint in the high
lights, may be bought of dealers in pho
Geographic materials. The paper il
marked "Pense. which is mistake,
as the correct spelling is "pensee. I"
This blue tone may be obtained on aris-
to paper'by toning the prints in sepa-
rate bath and putting few drops Of
aniline blue in the fixing bath Have
the tint rather deep, and when the
prints are fixed the whites and high
lights will have clear blue tone. If
the picture is landscape with plenty
of clouds in the sky the effect is almost
as If the sky had been tinted.
Many spots both on prints and mega
tives are due to the dishes used not hav-
ing been properly cleansed. The trays
should be wiped out with very soft
cloth or sponge, and once in a while
washed with little alcohol.
A set of labels printed with the
names of the different chemicals COM
monty in use in the dark room may be
had for 10 cents. They come already
gummed and are great convenience.
A convenient little plate litter is
called the IL. " 1t is a tiny contrivance
which fits ON the side of the tray and
saves all danger of scratching the plate
in removing it from the tray, and there
is no need of putting the fingers into
any of the solutions if the Il" is used.
With this litter, instead of rocking the
tray during development, the plate is
rocked with the litter. -Harper's Round
