ORIENTAL WOMEN.

They Spend an Astonishing Amount
of Time Over Their Toilets.
An eastern lady of high degree
spends an amount of time over her
toilet that would quite astonish the
most fashionable society lady. First
she has her hair dressed by her maid,
who, after amounting the long, silky
black locks with little oil made from
aloe wood or cocoanut, arranges it
simply in a long smooth plait, low on
the nape of the neck, and decorated Ell
Their with gold or ieweled ornaments.
Next the bath is prepared as hot as
it can be, and in this the lady may
stay as long rs two or three hours.
Soaps are not used, but instead there
are multifarious unguents, secret prep
arations of the bathing women. which
render the skin soft as velvet and deli
cately rerfumed. Oftentimes the face
is washed over with milk into which
has been squeezed lemon juice
The hair of the oriental woman is
usually beautifully long, soft and
glossy, and the way they arrange it is
invariably becoming to their soft type
of beauty. Perfumes are much indulg-
ed in. These are introduced in the
bath and permeate the garments. but
are rarely used on a handkerchief

Snoyydrifts Tn Sweden

The worst snowdrifts experienced by
any railroad are said to be those in
Sweden. Although the cold is not so
intense as in some of our western
states, the snowfall is heavy and con
tinuous. The snowplows of various
kinds which are used on these roads
are said to be the most powerful in the
world. There are times, however, when
even this machinery fails to clear the
way, when hundreds of men must be
employed to dig out the stalled trains.
