Mrs. Joslis's Burglar. She bowed her fourth caDer out politely and hurried up-stairs with an unusual degree of alacrity, for she was a very social littla woman, and generally had at least a dozen things to say to her friends after the more-formal adieus were over. This afternoon, however, ahe was preoccupied in manner, and, when at liberty, bounded to her rooms like an elastic cord suddenly loosed from long tension. Her mother observed her unusual manner, and, following her, came upon her suddenly and found her engaged in a novel work of reconstruction. She had an entire suit of her husband's clothing, and, at the moment of her mother's entrance; was just completing her work of art by securing a fur tippet underneath a countenance manufactured of charcoal on a ground-work whose ghastlinessmade it something to remember. She had just fastened the bristling beard ia place and drawn back to gaze somewhat admiringly at the result of her own handiwork when her mother's sadden exclamation surprised her. ' Augusta Joslin, what are you doing?" "Making home attractive," said that lady, demurely; then she sat down, not gracefully in a chair, 1 am forced to record, but dumpily on the floor, and, dropping her chin to her receiving hands (you all know the attitude), she gazed attentively on her Knight of the Mustache. " Won't it be funny ? " she said, and then she explained, but not so definitely as will be necessary to acquaint my readers with the existing state of affairs in Mrs. Joslin's family. She was a nice, cheery little woman. The heart of her husband reposed in her so entirely that he never thought it necessary to spend all his evenings at home to see to her. Indeed, the largeness of his liberality in this respect was semething more bountiful than Madame Augusta x?as prepared to enjoy. She would have been more than happy could she have had a larger portion of the society of her liege lord. His intentions were doubtless of the very best, but he was the creature of circumstances to a wonderful degree, and it filled his wife'a brain with amazement, and her heart with grief, to learn how many friends he had who were liable to be taken suddenly ill, and in consequence to require Ms fraternal care for the night. Then there were lodges and various other devices to waylay unsuspecting husbands and keep them from their peaceful homes. After due consideration of all these facts, our little madame resolved upon a plan, whose efficacy she was now about to try. Afty she had built her man, she allowed his comely figure to repose on the floor until the gathering dusk should permit hr to station him just -outside of the door which opened on a second-story veranda. She thenattached a small, strong cord to the door-knob, let the end pass to the floor and thence to another room, where a dinner-bell was attached, and then back to a point from which she could control it from her bed, her intention being that the same movement which should ring the bell should also open the door and reveal the burglar. With .these preparations completed, she went down to tea, with but little hope of meeting her husband, as it was not his habit to trust himself to her society at that hour, unless willing to spend the entire evening at home. For three successive nights he had left her to loneliness and entered at an hour when most she wished to sleep. And, as his entrance was not always a noi less one, she could not have done so had she been more indiiferent than she realty was to the loss of his society. Twelve o'clock. One; and shortly after she heard the familiar step coming rather wearily up the stairs, and ten minutes later the deep regular breathing . which assured her that he was asleep. A little longer she waited, then, rising softly, she put on her wrapper and went to an adjoining room for a lamp, which was. on this occasion, to replace the gas. She had just placed it where its rays would fall most directly on the incoming figure. She was about to pull the cord which should open the door and reveal the coming man, when her husband buddenly awoke and asked, in a startled manner: " What's that lamp burning for?" then, seeing his wife. " What are you up for? Is anything wrong?' There was but an instant for her to frame a reply which should cover the entire change which mnst now be made in her p?ara, but she did it. " Oh, there's nothing wrong, Mortimer, only I'm so nervous I 6nd it impossible to "sleep, so I got up and have been wandering around. " With these explanatory remarks she euried herself up comfortably on thn foot of the bed, drew a little shawl about her shoulders, and began telling him of the various incidents of the day. Every bit of gossip which had come to her during her morning walk and evening calls was faithfully recounted. She talked in her liveliest and most engaging style.' She asked his opinion of this and that statement, jnst as he thought she wns about to draw to a close. She told him that she had at last found that lovely little song that Mrs. B sang so charmingly, and i hen she warbled out the final strain, ending with a cadenza so stirring that her poor husband gave up all hope of immediate slumber, and began mildly to expostulate : " Now, Augusti, you're a treasure ! you're an angel. You are Heaven's best gift to man, if yon will only let me go to sleep now. I assure you solemnly that in all our journey down life'g bill tcttimvriWv
; "Now, Mortimer, don't ! You've no idea how I've reproached myself for not making your home more attractive to you. I'm going to be a better woman hereafter." : "All right, mjdear! but wouldn't you n soon defer it until to-morrow morning?' ; " Procrastination is the thief of time Mortimer 1 I've often heard you say, on coming in late, that there arc duties which will not admit of delay." "Now, Augusta, Til surrender at discretion and beg your merciful consideration. Be a good girl now. Kiss me good-night and let me go to sleep." That dreadful woman turned her tempting little mouth to receive the proffered kiis, and her deluded husband, acceptingthataaa"flngof truce." rashly ran his mouth against a pin. Thunder and blazes ! Are you an animated pincushiou ?" and, with an indignant bounce he turned his face to the wall and snored resolutely . Augusta passed a few reflective moments in silence as she had dona occasionally at a certain stage of a game of chess. She was evidently' considering her nextmove. " Mortimer, Mortimer !" cried she, in an excited whisper (she had determined on her plan for a checkmate), "Mortimer, hush I There's someone in the house." "Yes, I should think there was," and then his wife crept closor to him, apparently trembling iu every nerve. " There is, Mortimer I Please get up, dear 1" "Now. you've really accomplished what you wished, I suppose. Probably hysterics will be the nest card." Eatire silence for a short time. There are occasions when nothing is more effective. "Now, won't you get up, Mortimer, and go through the house and then I will let you go to sloop, but I hear such a queer noise, and I have such a strange feeling. I'm sure there's some one around." "I wish you would have a lucid interval and go to sleep before, it subsides, I'm tired of this " "So am I," in a nervous, frightened tone. " Well, come on ! If you wantapromenado, I'll head the procession, but you've got to follow ! No hanging back ! Where do you want mo to go?" said the desperate man, as with lamp in one hand and pistol in the other, in all the classic simplicity of his nocturnal attire, he confronted his trembling wife ; " come on, I say ! " "Go up the tower stairway," suggested she, meetly, and he went. " Now through the back chambers," and he went, she following somewhat timidly, yet confidence in her husband's prowess supporting her faltering steps. "Well, is that all?" as they toned from the unsuccessful quest. " Does the lino of march halt here ? If not, just lead on, General. Can't give the military sa!ute,you know, as both hands are full." "Just look out on the north veranda, dear, and then I won't say another word." Augusta judiciously took the lamp at this juncture, and fell back in order to leave her husband's hands free for the dread encounter. He opened the door. He uttered a fervent ejaculation, he made a sudden upward and backward movement and he tired his pistol, andthese all so nearly simultaneously that, their order of succession would have been difficult to determine. Some one fell heavily to the floor, but it was someone behind him and not before him. Had he shot his wile ? Ho turned to see that injured person in a little heap upon the floor holding her sides. Ha rushed to her. ! " My darling, have I killed you ?" "Oh, no IttiinJrT shall get a it;" and. then came an explosion which caused him to look ngaiu toward the door and see his burglar standing there calm and majestic, gazing at him with what seemed an air of mild rebuke, I think our special artist should have been at hand just then. The few minutes occupied by Mr. Joslyn in taking in the situation would have been full of inspiration to one of genius. It was tableau vivant where the full light fell on the central figure, and all the accessories were entirely classic and simple. Mrs. Jbslin will' always remember ir. She says she could have studied it longerhad not Mortimer turned the light out so abruptly. There was no further conversation that night, but Mrs. Joslin's brief replies to queries regarding the firing of that pistol led to an article in the daily paper headed : "Daring Attempt at Burglary." Mr, Joslin, however, absolutely refused to be interviewed in reference to it, but it was observed that he spent all of his evenings at home for an entire week from that date.
The Decoration of a Room. Crude whito is in favor with housewives for ceilings -"it looks so clean," That is just its fault. It lsoks so clean, even when it is not, that it makes all else look dirty, even though it may be clean. To paint the flat ceiling of a moderate-sized room by hand is simply & waste of labor. It is only at great personal inconvenience that one can look long at it, while, as a matter of fact, no one cares to $0 so. You see it occasionally, by accident, and for a moment, and, that that casual glimpse should not be a shock to the eye, as it is as veil to tint it in accordance with the room, or even cover it with a diapered paper, which will to some extent withdraw the attention from the cracks that frequently disfigure the ceilings of modern houses. What hand-pointing we can afford may best be reserved for the pannels or doors, window shutters, and the like, where it can be seen these doors and the other woodwork being painted in two or three shades of colors, flat or varnished, according as we prefer softness of tone or durability of surface. Perhaps it will be best in this instance that the woodwork r-hould fall in with the tone of the dado; bat this is not a point on - which liny rule can be laid down. The decoration of the panels should be in keeping with the wall paper patterns. It may be much more pronounced than they, but still it must not assert itself. One great point of consideration iu the decoration of a room is the relation of the various pattern one to another. It may often be well to sacrifice an otherwise admirable design simply because you can rind nothing else to go with it. A single pattern, once chosen, will often contra! the whole scheme of decoration. Magazine of Art.
Beautiful Joke. This, according to the San Francisco Argonaut, is an American joke translated with a French paper: Topnody, fatigued to be led of the end of the nose by his bitter h&tf, conceived the resolution heroic to take tin command of the house, to of it bo the boss. Therefore, in re-entering toward midday, still all emoved of a quarrel of morning, he called imperiously Madame Topnody. She emerged of her kitche n, the visage dipped a sweat, of which a pearly drop at the end of her nose; a roller of pas! ry at the hand. She responded iu a toiio few amiable. " " : "Eh, well! What is it that there is yet?" Topnody feebled; but he took the courage. "I wish that yon know, Madame Topnody" and he struck himself at the breast dramatically "that I am tho engineer of this ohobang." " Oh, you are it! Assuredly! Eh, well, me, I wish that you know" and she lanced at the unhappy a look terrifying "that I am the ' boiler which cr to bust. Hear you the vapor which escapes itself, Topnody ?" The unhappy heard perfectly. He U agam in the subjugation,
SOXS OF "KAISTC7CK." A Story Told by Kx-Gov. IScrlah Magoffin, of Kentucky. "I well remember," said the Governor, "an incident which occurred just before the breaking out of the war, and which afforded us infinite amusement at the time. Breckinridge, who was then Vice President ; Floyd, Buchanan's Secretary of War ; Senator Powell, of Kentucky, and myself j met one Sunday evening at the residence of Mr. Floyd, and the conversation turned on the sporting proclivities of Keutuckiaus. Breckinridge and myself good-humored-ly maintained that Kentuckians were an improvement upon the old Virginia stock in this particular, and that, while they had inherited dash and daring of then ancestors, they were really the better of tho two. 4 As men wo are your equals, at least,' said I, turning to Floyd. ' Our women are tho handsomest hi the world. We have finer and faster horses, and even better chickens, than the Old Dominion can produce,' 1 To tho latter proposition Floyd demurred energetically, and proposed then and there to arrange a main to be fought on the Virginia border. I agreed, and then proposed to let one fight between two picked birds at the close of the main decide the question of supremacy. " This was agreed to, and we wagered 81,000 each on the result. Breckinridge wanted half of my $1,000, and I gave it to him. The dispute was to come off in September, 1860, and we arranged all the preliminaries then and there. When the question had been all adjusted I turned upon the party, and, with mock solemnity, proceeded to read a lecture. 'A pretty picture we present, do we not?' said L 'Here we are, the Vice President of the United States, her Minister of War, a Senator from Kentucky, and the Governor of the same State, desecrating the Lord's day arranging f or a cock fight, while the greatest crisis iu American history is approacliing. The cloud is spread over more than half the horizon, and the storm may burst any moment.' I went on in this strain for some time, and the company at last separated. "Imagine my astonishment and disgust the next day to read in the New York Herald a full report of our conversation and of my lecture. The hackman had given it away. When I read the Herald I started for the Capitol to tell Breckinridge about it; but on my way up Pennsylvania avenue my attention was attracted by a chorus of cockcrowing which seemed to come from a long row of coops ranged in front of an express office. I stopped to see what it meant, when I saw that the coops were all directed to the Vice President At first I did not know what to make of it, but suddenly light dawned upon me. Four or five months before Breckinridge and myself had asked Gen. Preston, who was about to go abroad in the discharge of his duties as Minister, to send us a coop of game chickens for a gentleman of whose kind offices we were in need, and who could not ' be reached in any other way. " Instead of one coop he had sent a dozen or more, thinking, as I then supposed, that it would be an excellent joke on us. I hurried to the Capitol, and, calling Breckinridge from his place as presiding officer of the Senate, laid the whole matter before him. There was the consignment of game chickens in confirmation of the Herald story, and I assured him that unless he did something promptly he was a ruined man. He laughed, but together we made our way to the express office and paid the charges, which were enosmous, amounting, I believe, to several hundred dollars, and, having no use for the birds, sent them to a noted cockfighter in Lexington as a present, "The war breaking out soon afterward, the proposed mnin was declared off. Subsequently I learned the inwardness of the chicken business from Gen. Preston. It seems that in visiting Madrid, Paris, Pome, Berlin, Vienna and other European capitals he had prosecuted inquiries about game fowls, and that when he reached London he found all the birds he forwarded to us awaiting his orders. As the easiest way out of the dilemma, he shipped them to Washington, Those cocks afterward whipped everything in the United States, and these strains, I understand, are yet in great demand."
Care of the Teeth. Almost any young miss, if she has an amiable expression and clean, white and pearly teeth, will be called' at least "good looking," while the otherwise beautiful, if disfigured by foul and black teeth, with unsightly roots and a consequent foul breath, will be regarded as uncomely, if not shunned on account of a foul breath. As one smiles and young misses love to do that the teeth are tho most conspicuous ornament of the facp; and it is. important that they be kept clean. To do this it is needful to cleanse them daily, at least, using a soft brush after breakfast; use with n dentifrice made by dissolving two ounces of borax in three pints of boiling water, adding, when not quite cold, a teaspoonful of spirits of camphor; bottle and use with au equal quantity of tepid water. The same may be nel to rinse the mouth at any time, while the brushing nt bedtime, also, in certain cases will be of great service. By such means the tei-th are made beautiful, preserved, the taitarous adhesions removed, decay arrested and health secured. Tho fastidious miss who learns that the tartar is but an accumulation of salivary mucus, phosphate of lime, iu which "wriggling eels" are imbedded, living creatures may not hesitate to remove them. I will add that the use of castile soap and water will aid in their extermination. The teeth are covered by an enamel resembling ivory hard and brittle, which resists most acids, such as will dissolve common bone. When this is cracked and removed by the use of hot and cold drinks or food, by craoking nuts and the like, the acids easily reach tbe true bone, of course destroying the teeth. It is more than foolish, therefore, to bite off pins, thread and the like or crack nuts with the teeth. Do not remove the first teeth too soon, till they are loose, nor let them remain after they are loose, badly decayed mere shells since they are a source of harm If removed too soon they may deform or destroy the second set. To preserve the teeth it is needful to use them, to chew our food thoroughly, not only for the sake of good digestion; but for the sake of the teeth, since nature is economical and removes them if not needed and used, as seen in the cows fed on distillery slops, with littlft or no hay. I will add to what I have already said in reference to fino flour, that the teeth suffer for want of bone materials, if that is used, unless an artiolft is used containing these bone elements, for the bony structure, the teeth inaluded.

Pay ns You lio. I learned three trades, 1 learned to bo a brewer, ft conch. maker and a machinist, all before I was 21 years old. 1 worked three years at $1.50 a day, and I saved enough out of that to get a start in life I was making machines to shear eiolh. Then I bought the patent ritfht of the machine and made them for sale. That was before the War of 1812. I determined to give the world an equivalent in so in o form of useful labor for all that I consumed in it. I went on and enlarged my business, all tho while keep ing out of debt. "I cannot rocolleet a time when T could not pay what I owed any day. I would not spend money befort I earned it. Another rule I had was to keep oh-iir of the banks. I never asked them foruccommoduHm. 1 never got them to discount not oa, because I did not wish to hieur an obligation with
out a certainty of being able to pay t. In that way I managed to keep clear of panics. My rule was "Pay as you go." I can't remember tho time when any man could not have had for tho asking what I owed. Another thing I wish to say: All the money I ever made was in mechanical business, and not in spoculation, Peter Cooper. Substitutes for Wood. Year by year other materials are being substituted for wood in the erection of dwellings and buildings of all kinds, in the constructiou of bridges, fences and sidewalks, in the manufacture of carriages, agricultural implements and furniture, for 'producing heat for cooking and warming dwellings, and for generating steam. In many parts of the country it is quite as cheap to erect buildings of brick or stone as of wood, though the time required is somewhat longer. Within the past five years boards have given place to wire in building farm fences, and in ten years more wooden fence posta will give place to those "of stone, cement or iron. Wood is rapidly going out cf use as a material for hoops for barrels and other forms of cooper's ware, and, indeed, barrels and casks of any kind are giving way to other kinds of packages for holding other substances than liquids; Wooden pavements are now generally condemned in all large cities, and wooden sidewalks will soon share their fate. Kecently baskets made of strip-iron for picking cotton, gathering potatoes and harvesting fruit have been introduced. They are light, clean, verj'serviceableandcomparativelycheap. Furniture made of metal or stone is fast displacing that manufactured from wood. Wood supports are still used for railway tracks, but it is likely that a substitute for tliem in some form of metal or stone will bo found before trees can be grown of sufficient size to convert into ties. Not only sea-going steamers and vessels ore made of iron, but many smaller boats are constructed of the same material. With the exception of steamboats navigating rivers and lakes whose banks and shores are lined with forests, or locomotives running through sections of the country that are heavily wooded, there is no longer a demand for wood for generating steam. No one will question the excellence of a wood fire, whether it burns in a stove or open grate, but it is no longer economical in most places, even if the material to support it can be obtained at a comparatively low price. Wood is bulky, wliile coal is compact. The former requires considerable preparation before it can be used, while the latter needs uone. Much more labor is required to keep up a fire of wood than one of any kind of coal. Wood needs better protection than coal, and depreciates in value much faster when kept in any situation. Chicago Times Where to Plaut Trees. On nearly every farm of considerable size there are tracts of land on which the owner is. compelled to pay taxes, but from which he derives little or no revenue. The soil may be too broken, rocky or dry for the purpose of producing ordinary cultivated crops. It is hard to plow, harrow or cultivate, and, when all the work is performed under extreme difficulties, the product is small. If sown to grass it can only bo used for pasture. Sometimes there is hind on the banks of lakes, streams or gullies that cannot be plowed or cultivated with advantage. Land constituted or situated like the above can be devoted to forest trees with fair prospect of deriving a revenue from them in a near or distant future. Trees generally grow better on the banks of lakes, streams, or gullies than in most other places, as there is excellent drainage, while there in commonly a fcupply of water within reach of the roots at all seasons of the year. The roots are of value to the soil in preventing it from washing away. A fair amount of forest trees on a farm improves its apiearance and adds to its value. Home shade is desirable for beasts as well as -men. In selecting trees to plant a forest or grove, it is generally best to give preference to such as are indigenous to the section of the country where they are set out. Their adaptability to the soil and climate luus been shown, and it is generally easy to procure a supply of them at a small' cost. For high, broken and rocky land there is nothing better than oak, walnut and hickory trees. They are stately, hardy and beautiful in all stages of their growth . They are easil y propaga ted from seed by planting them in the places whore the trees are desired. They require little cultivation and litfle pruning.' They will ordinarily pay for the use of the land they occupy by the nuts they produce. The wild cherry and ash-Jeaved maple grow -well in most parts of the West, and are useful as well as ornamental trees. The numerous varieties of ash, the elm and bass wood do best on land that is quite rich nd at the same time moderately moist Care should be taken not to plant trees that are liable to be infested by insects. Chicago Times. Carious Reminiscences. How strange it must seem to many of our readers to be informed that the United States Court was once occupied trying a woman for the crime of being a scold. The prisoner was tho notorious Ann Koyal. She was tried at Washington in 1829, the following being an extract from the indictment: " The said Ann did annoy and disturb the good people of the United States by her open, public and common seoldiug to tho common nuisance of the good citizens of the United States and to the evil example of others. " The prisoner's counsel pleaded in her defense that the English statute, which puujshed common scolds with ducking, was obsolete and hence the indictment could not be maintained. Judge Crauch, however, held that the offense was not obsolete, and added that all correct legal authorities decided that being a common scold to the nuisance of tho neighborhood is an indictable offense. The judge thereupon fined Mrs. Boyal 10, and ordered her to give security for good behavior and to stand committed until the above-mentioned security should be maintained. This is the only instance of the kind I have ever heard of in the history of our country, and hence I give it as a legal curiosity. Another bit of antiquity is found iu the following extract from army orders a half century ago: "Cadet R. E. Leo, promoted to brevet second lieutenant artillery, July 1, 1829." How little could any one have imagined the part which this cadet was yet to play in the bloody work of internecine strife! The Hermit in Tro. Times. . The Dead-LeWer Oilier. A visit to the Dead-Letter Division is exceedingly interesting to strangers. Here oil letters and packages that the department Iws failed to deliver, either for the reason that they were unclaimed, unmaihible, misdirected or upon which the postage is not paid, are returned " dead." Mail matter of this ebn-H originated in foreign countries included in the postal union is returned to tho
country of origin unopened, ihe remainder is opened and delivered in all cases where any clew to the identity of the writer can be discovered. Of the letters of this kind opened during the fiscal year 2?S,400 were found to contain money to the amount of $1:1,30,1!-!, of which 10,305, containing $)7,27D.H1 were afterward delivered, 21,811 contained drafts, checks, bills of exchange, etc., of the value of $1,520,216.65. of which 20,121, containing $1,45 ,587. 4it were delivered ; 34,771 contained receipts, pnid notes and canceled obligu tions of all sorts; '10,957 com idned pho togruphs; (iK,H9 contained postage, the most o' which were delivered. Of the number- of letters passing through tho. mails if appears that the department
fails to deliver but 0110 in every 289; tho success of our service in this respect is very gratifying. From official statements it appears that Great Britaiu fails to deliver one in every 21G; France one in 430; Italy 0110 in 12t. and Germany one in every 150; this lastis, however, scarcely a fair comparison, us a very much larger proportion of registered matter passes through the Gorman maiis, the delivery of which is almost inevitable. Before tins department building became so crowded, a room was set apart as a museum, wiiere strangers - were shown a variety of unclaimed articles from bottled tarantulas to " Blackstoue's Commentaries." Now tho articles are stowed away, and every year or two disposed of at public auction.

Now York. The Two John Thomases. A young school-miss who has been told to hunt up the story of the "Two John Thomases " writes to . us for the particulars. Thoy were Dr. John Thomas, who graduated at Catherine Hall, Cambridge, in 1713, was rector of St. Vedast, Foster Laue, was consecrated Bishop of Lincoln April 1, 1744, and translated to Salisbury in 1761, and who died July 19, 1706; and Dr. John Thomas, iVIlow of All Saints College, Oxford, rector of St. Benedict's and St. Peter's, Paul's Wharf, consecrated Bishop of Peterboro, Oct. 4, 1747, translated to Salisbury in 1757, and who died May 1, 1781. 'f ho story of the difficulty in describing them is certainly genuine. Bishop Newton was speaking of i'r. Thomas, when some one. asked, (i Which Dr. Thomas do you mean?" He au fiwercd, " Dr. Johu Thomas.' The questioner replied, "They are hotij named John." " Well, 1 mean Ih. Thomas who has ji living in the city.' "They boi.h have livings in t lie city." " Dr. Tliniijiis who is Ouap-am to the King." " They are both Chaplains to the King." " Dr. Thomas who i known to be a very good preacher." "Tiny are both known to be wry g-od preacher. 11 " Then," said Newton, triumphantly, "tho Dr. Thomas who squints." "They both squint ! was tlie equallyeffective answer, and Bishop Newton gave it up. Whether they squinted equally bad we caunot say, but tho first above-named was one of the most decided specimens ever presented hi good society. Ho was once telling a humorous story and remarked of the hero that "the fellow squinted most hideously." This point was telling, but the Bishop increased tho efiect by turning his own ugly face around to each person present, with au extra distortion at each turn, and remarking, in a subdued undertone, " Do you know, I hate your squinting fellows 1" New York Journal of Commerce. . Oriental IVonsense. Calling on a giddy girl, who has nothing under heaven to do but to follow the fashions, I found her reclining on a lounge in her boudoir. She wore what is called a tea-gown, shaped not uulike a long, loose paletot, with elbow-sleeves, or angel-sleeves, looped and gathered up at the wrists. The material of the garment was a combination of brocade iu gold and silver with; silk gauze. Anything more Oriental could hardly be found out of the Orient itself. Over her bosom was a fichu of lace, laid over the shoulders and crossing in front; a bunch of red Mowers was fastened nt her belt; her abundant black hair was brushed back with a well-counterfeited negligence; the toes of her extended feet were stuck into embroidered sandals, and her stockings were a true flesh-color, A glorious creature she looked, truly, as as she lay there in her studied carelessness of finery. But what I set out to say was that incense was burning at her side. Yes, fragrant smoke was rising lazily from an incinerating pastile iu a bronze dish. This is a new freak of the girls. The scent-bottle is put aside, and rooms and clothes are perfumed with incense.

The following 1b one of the very many testimonials we are receiving daily : GcntUmen: Some three months njro I began th& nse of IH. Uautizu-s Iron Toxic, upon the advice of many friends who knew Its virtues. I was suffering from (funeral deliiltty to such an extent that my labor was exceedingly burdensome to me. A vacation of a month did not give me much relief, but on the contrary, was followed by increased prostration ami sinking chills. At this time 1 began the use f ymtr Ikon Tonic, from which 1 realized almost Immediate and wonderful results. The old energy returned and 1 found that my natural form1 was not permanently abated. I have used three hollies of the Toxic. Since using It 1 have done twice the labor that 1 ever did in the same time during my illness, and with double the ease. With the Iraiuinil nerve and vigor of body, has come also a clearness of thought never before enjoyed. If the Tonic liua nut done the work, X know not what. 1 give it the credit.
