A sly
peep into a lady's boudoir is a
realistic reminder to gentlemen, of the pet luxuries and folliea with which the dear creatures so like to surround tbemnelvpfl. Velvety carpets, downy couches with embroidered pillow shams, costly coverlets, fringed and colored curtains, gilded cornices, with lace hangings at the windows, frescoed ceilings, tinting with voluptuous colors the subdued light of the apartment, pieturca of the gods and goddesses of mythology on the walls and syinmetrieally carved statuary in the corners, to tickle the taste and tire the fancy of the fastidious occupant, «wy chairs, silently inviting repose, ottomans, pier mirrors, glittering chandeliers, with crystal globes and pcadantu, all contribute to the prevailing ease and elegance, tempt the eye, and lull into languid security the senses of the delighted beholder. Hut the main article of furniture in the boudoir, the one which claims most of the lady's time ard attention, is the bureau, conveniently located between tho two bay windows'. 11 contains the many mysterious aeeesHories of a lady's toilet. Cutglass bottles of various shape* and sizes, containing perfumes, smelling salts, oils, etc., aro tastefully arranged upon the inarblo surface of the bureau, together with pearl und ivory-finished brushes, combs,

A WBM-r-Al'POIKTKD BOCUOIR. Tho desire* to please is one of the controlling traits in woman's nature. She knows full well the'love for the beautiful existing in ths heart of man,and the involuntary homage it exacts toward tho fair ones of her sex. Accordingly, sho is Jealous of her beauty, and *n "rdor to enhance or preserve it she is but too willing to make the most dangerous sacrUiees. In the use of cosmetics the principle is strikingly illustrated. Late hours and polite dissipation, pcrchauce. have dimmed tho luster of the eye and brushed tho bloom from tho cheek, and Ksmotlcs are resorted to as a remedy for tho defects. Narcotics are to man like cosmetics to woman. Hoth aro common evils of a very fatal type, which, if the practice Is) long continued, are sure to result in disease, and eventually, perhaps, in dsath.
The subject of cosmetics was but recently carefully investigated by a St. Ur.uU w»li«-ltmocrnt mnorter. Medical, mercantile and .n.otW^t wore freely consulted, anil the thoorv above advanced was clearly ••All use it—everv one of them, sain a well-known drug dealer to the reporter.

are usually considered to be the best and are the costliest. Oriental cream is very fine and we sell a great deal of it at fl.oO per bottle. The vmaigre de rouge vinegar, a dark crimson liquid put up in tiny vials, is a popular rouge with actresses, who are very expert in its application. Rouge is applied with a soft sponge. We have, besides these which I have described, a rouge in the form of a powder, known as the hard rouge. It is applied similarly to the face powders. I forgot to say that some of these powders have very pretty and poetical names, such as Swan's Down, Mountain Mist, etc. Here is the Grenadine, or Carmine den lievres, meaning lip carmine. It also has a reputation in its way. I mav add, in conclusion, that all powder and rouge is perfumed and tasteless after application, so that if a girl bad any on her cheeks or lips she would not run tbe risk of detection when being kissed by her sweetheart." "I suppose you have alarge sale for all these powders and liquids?" "Yes. One bottle of rouge will not last over a month, and the ladies are constantly trying the effect of new preparations. Maids, wives and widows all como hero to purchase. Someare young and pretty, and others are old aud ugly, but they all wish in some way to improve their "NAT17RAI. APPEARANCE.
The reporter called next upon a wellknown analytical chemist, aud asked: "Whatare the active ingredients contained in the face powders and rouge commonly sold in the drug store "Bismuth and white lead." "Is not arsenic also used "It may be occasionally, from a mistaken notion of its properties. It will not act in the way desired if applied externally, but when taken internally in Hinall doses it clarifies the skin. Many women, to add to their Beauty, take arsenic powders. It is a dangerous habit, like opium-eating, when once acquired difficult to shake off, and if persisted in is finally fatal to health and life. The powders are not sold in the stores, but can be easily obtained by such as desire them." "What is the character and effect of bismuth and white lead?" "Well, they are mineral poisons like arsenic. Bismuth,in the form of nitrate, commonly known as white bismuth, is probably the oftenost used in compounding powders and rouge. It has remarkable adhesive properties, and is less injurious than white lead. Bismuth is looilly hurtful when applied externally but not an active poison like lead. I recently made an analysis of a face powder sent to me by a well-known society lady. It was composed almost wholly of pure lead, in the highest degree injurious. Lead is readily absorbed into ~.r~'

In the use of powder and rouge the lead and bismuth act only during the time they remain on the skin and require to be often ronewed.

In the above interviews the baleful effect of cosmetics is clearly shown. Butlittle remains for the reporter to add. The noxious preparations are extensively and regularly dealt hi by all classes of women, and the wan and shriveled cheek, the glaring eyes, the blotched and roughened skin, the' sharp and tremulous voice, the nervous and unsteady walk, as seen among the votaries of society on the street and in the ballroom, tell too plainly of the slow yet fatal ravages made upon the system by the dread agents of death, bisnjuth, white lead, arsenic and belladonna. The fine chalks and light vegetable powders are liable to melt and streak the face when heated by perspiration, and hence ore discarded as useless and troublesome articles, while the more adhesive and deadly mineral preparations are joyfully received. If, now, the paint or rouge be applied with a skillful hand, after the avaporation of the water a thin, and to the naked eye, an imperceptible film of a delicate pink tint remains, and the sillv girl, «in the gratification of her vanity," fails to realize the fearful price which she is paying for her ephemeral vet unnatural beauty. Her triumph is short-lived. Nature is a jealous mistress and will brook no interference from art. Soon on the lovely carnation surface of the cheeks appear heetic spots, and blotcber, and mortification succeeds the discovery of the paint. Women may dance aud flirt, and wear small shoes and tight eorsets, and escape perhaps any fsrious results, but if she values the respect of her brother, father or husband, or cares aught for the preservation of her own health and happinesB, let her shun as she would the embrace of a serpent all use of the deceptive and dangerous cosmetics.
DRINKING BLOOD.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN REFRESHING THEMSELVES AT TUB ABATTOIR.
Philadelphia Times.
"Your health, ladies!" exclaimed the gallant gentleman, as he tossed off the draught of blood with great enjoyment. The ladies wore more deliberate, sipping tbe beverage as though it were tea or coffee and evidently regarding it as a pleasant summer drink. The cups were refilled twice, and emptied with great relish. The voung lady refused to taste the blood, and regarded the whole affair with decided and ill-concealed aversion. Feelings akin to disgust were portrayed on her face as her friends removed the crimson stains from their lips with white silk handkerchiefs, and expressed themselves as well satisfied with the result of the morning's excursion. "I don't see what you can find nice about that horrid blood, I'm sure," said she, in accents of horror, "and I wish I hadn't come with you at all." "My dear girl," expostulated the round-faced man, "you don't know •what you are talking alwjlk..BiQSdil tteWWJ*fee PHrvef^ntpl^ no time.

OP L.ATE SUMMER DRESSING
There is not much that is new to be said. The fashion of wearing zonave jackets has grown in favor, and they are made in a great variety of goods and adornments, for both day and eveninjg wear. Simple costumes are ruadeof striped and laid gingham and seersucker, or of cloth in tiny checks on uncertain color. To the
ress is frequently added a very large ollar, either plain or gathered on the shoulder, lined
collar
with bright-colored silk,
and fastened 'with a long flowing bow of ribbon of the same color. Stylish traveling dresses fere made of soft camel's hair of a pale brown shadq, with a skirt covered with kilt plaiting, over which is dfaped a simple tunic of Japanese brocade, and with a jacket in the Louis XIV. style. Zephyr collars and cuffs, with broad plaided or striped hems, are silver gray, mauve, doe coior cardinal, devoid of docoration.

What a Woman of Prominence in the Medical World has to ^ay About Her Sex.
KYNOPSU of a Lector* Delivered by KM. Doctor Kenton Before the Women's Society of New England.

I the purposes One is tl
From the Home Journal, New York. In the ages of all the world, poets, scientists and men of prominence have looked with enthusiasm often akin to reverence upon woman but tt is only within the last few years that she has begun to assume her right place, not only in society, but with the world in general. Why so desirable an end should nave been so long delayed it Isdifficult to understand but that it has at last oomo is certainly cause for gratitude. In her social sphere, in her mental development and especial lv in her physical improvement, women have'sbown wonderful advancement and such as a tonishes the worid.
Thcv who have made a careful investigation tell us that heathen women are much more able to endure pain than aro the women of civilisation, but civilized women would resent tho chawrethat thev are weaker because they are civilised. A distinguished writer says: "If the women ot civilisation aro less able to enduro tho taxation of their physical resources than are hoathon women, it is a mere accidental circumstance and one within their contrel."
Ixst us consider for a moment tho possibilities which present themselves to every woman. Whoa the body is healthy, beauty is almost certain to appear, even in features and forms once plain indeed, it is theonly known way to become beautiful, and all other preparations, powders, stays and laces are oontemptibie deiuoions. With hoalth and beauty tn all their attractiveness a new life dawns.

All those desirable things oan bo accomplished, but in oneway only. The Creator nas given both woman and man perfoct physical forms, and each is constitutionally equal to all natural deit ands. It is a mistaken and pernicious notion that ono is strong nnd tho other weak. No curse was pronounccd upon woman which did not apply with eqcat penally against mau. if women believe tho fataiism that disease is a neccsnary condition of their exislonco it Is chiefly because the disciples of tho schools of medical practice have been utterly incapabloof compel lug with the multitudeof ill* which, by personal carelessness or professional incompetency, they have permitted to fasten upoa women.
A lew weeks ago I received a call from a charming lady, wliose earnest face clearly showed that sho desired advice and assistance. Upon questioning her sho stated that she believed she was suffering from auaralvzod liver, and wished to know If I could in any way aid her recovery. Now, imperfect as her statement was in regard to the disease which troubled her, thero is no doubt that
