manufacturer Cherlton, who camo 'on
somo years later who made much tho
same designs in tables and chairs, and in
laid them richly In mother-of-pearl. But
if you are going in for antiquities you
ought to know that tho Cherlton is valued
very far below tho Chippcudalo by "tlin
cult."
I saw tlio other day in a delicious old
furniture place at New York n very unlquo
thing which, after I had inquired its use, I
remembered having read of as it rovlval in
Kuglaud. Imagine a good sized liag, of
silk or muslin or velvet, as you please,
hung at tho head of tho bed. It is sup
posed to contain things liable to bo ncctletl
(luringtlio nluht pocketbook, coilghdrops,
devotional literature, handkerchief and,
peradventure, a nightcap other than tho
0110 worn on tho head. Tho "bed pocket,"
as it was called a hundred years ago, is
not at all a bad idea, but unless tho four
post bedstead comes into ntylo with it I do
not see Just where it could conveniently bo
hung.
If one-half the world is buying ancestors
the other half seems to bo selling. The
number of family portraits to lsi seen in
auction rooms is surprising. Charles Sur

I scented -ttlll another "revival" not long
since when I went Into u fashionable hair
dresser's to lmvo my bangs trimmed. It
seems that powtlcr anil patches and white
hair have struck the feminine rancy. it
began by elderly ladles ceasing to dyo
their gray locks. It was declared that not
only were silver threads among the gold
becoming, but that they lent an additional
look of youthfillness. Then tho effect of
powdered hair above bright oyes anil a
girlish faco was found to lw so piquant
that tho complexion artists and hairdress
ers weru importuned to Invent something
to maku thu piquancy permanent. As yet
they liavu not succeeded. It Is possible
to bleach thu hair white. To bo sure It
Is very expensive anil deadly injurious, but
It Is I'llcctivo. White hair, howuver, Is not
ho becoming as silver gray, and when that
is demanded tho "artist" recommends ma
dame toshave hertlark loeksalid huyouuof
thu new skeleton wigs, anil If you will bo
llovo it, tlio advloo Is generally followed,
but then it is not as bad as bleaching. Tlio
wig is so light and so well ventilated Jhat
when tho whim for gray hair Is succeeded
by something else, madamo's own hair,
short, of course, Is on her head ready to
begin a new life.
lady Teazle's wish that it might bo
slimmer all the year round, that roses
might bloom under our feet, bids fair to bo
realized at this late day. Never were arti
ficial (lowers used in such profusion. They
aru employed in decoration anil for dress
trimming moro than over before, and for
hats qultu as much. Kvery other woman
0110 meets in New-York wears a largo black
hat with one Immense American beauty
rose shining among tho ribbons and feath
ers. Tho (lower making Industry Is grow
ing every year. As yet tho ijest (lowers are
Imported. In Franco ami Germany whole
families devote themselves to the manu
facture of a single variety for generations.
It would never occur to a man whoso an
cestors madu roses to branch out for him
self ami make dahlias. No wonder they
are artists. The government encourages
tho industry in Franco to tlio extent of
growing great beds of choice (lowers, and
allowing specimens to bo carried homo for
models. Any worker in llowers is allowed
to pick it blossom for tho purpose of stud)1
ing it, and tho gardens aro open to him at
all times. Franco Is tho only country in
the world artistic enough to support such
an institution. Certainly thu idea would
not bo enthusiastically supported by
American law makers, so the probability is
wo shall continue to import our llowers.

Some curious experiments liavo been
made by Mllno-I-Mwards, a French natur
alist, as to tlio effect of low temperature
on animals. Ho "found that tho rabbit
bore cold remarkably well, as, when tho

night in a hollowed out block of ice, its
temperature, only full 1 deg. Tho sheep
also showed a high power of resistance,
provided its llceco was dry, goats anil pigs

less hardy, anil horses succuinlM'd to colli

Hindoo traditions aro offended grievous
ly by many English Industrial enterprises
in India. Some bono mills have been es
tablished at Hall, near Calcutta, ami the
natives living near aro in constant dread
of touching some vestlgoof animals' bones,
and thus incurring defilement, according
to their religious creed. On the other
hand, they cannot move out of the way,
because they would commit almost as
great usln by sullliigan ancestral residence.
