Prepared for the Southern World.
Fashion Notes.
Roman striped silks are use<f for full-dress
occasions.
Plain black silks are more fashionable
than black satin or surah.
New felt bonnets and hats are in colors
to correspond with the suit.
' The braided jackets have renewed the suc
cess of twenty-five years ago.
The cashmere glove is very comfortable
and appropriate for winter wear.
Three different fabrics in the same dress is
the limit allowed by fashion.
Red hats, red feathers, red gloves, and red
stockings are worn by the millions.
Large Vandyke collars, with deep cuff's to
match, made of rich lace and inserting, are
worn over street jackets of black and other
colored velvets.
Flowers are now but little worn in the
corsage in demi-toilet, being replaced by
knots of ribbon in hues contrasting with
that of the dress.
Jewely, unless it is very rich, is now al
most wholly confined to a fancy lace pin,
and ear-rings, to serpentine bracelets, and
one or two bangle rings.
Adjustable trains on new dresses are made
of three straight breadths, trimmed all
around and attached under the painier puff
on the back of the short skirt of a street
dress.
Very appropriate bridal toilets for yonng
girls have skirts of faille trimmed with
small puffings and rucliings, and plush red-
ingotes, to form the waist and outer garment
combined.
Childrens frocks are made with long full
sleeves, square necks, filled in with plaited
muslin, plain skirts edged with two narrow
flounces, and worn with a wide sash tied
around the waist.
Tucked sleeves fitted very closely to the
arms are seen upon a number of imported
dresses of artistic, (esthetic make. The fabric
must be soft and pliable when this style of
sleeve is adopted.
For dancing toilets are imported very
^nnljfpl transparent silk muslins of exquis
ite texture and finish, with single large
flowers, such as roses and carnations, drop
ped upon pale-tinted grounds.
Brocaded or plaided skirts are a good deal
worn at present, with close-fitting jersey
basques of plain velvet in black, dark-green
dark-bine or wine color, and trimmed with
a passementerie of gold and iridescent beads.
Pretty house dresses for young girls, are
of peacock blue cashmere, with short draped
apron of poppy-red, and poppy-red collar
and cuffs, over which are worn others of
hemstitched white muslin, leaving only the
red edge visible.
There are several new shapes in hats, one
of which, the "muskeeter," is used in felt,
with walking coat to match, the edge bound
with a puffing, or simple binding of velvet,
and the plumes matching without any ad'
ditional color.
Written specially tor tbe Southern World.
HEALTH ITEMS.
peras, alum, chloride of lime, and charcoal
are good substitutes. And in the absence of
everything else, dry earth, or what ie better,
dry clay, can be obtained by every one with
no expense and but little trouble. This,
with a small admixture of carbolic acid, or
even without it isa very good dUinfectantand
absorbant. The advantages of earth-closets
are now well established and the powers of
simple dry earth have been fully demon
strated by its action as a dressing when ap
plied to foul sores in the form of a fine pow
der. Its cleansing and healing effects have
proved to be equal in many cases, to all tbe
complex combinations of chemistry. The
truth is, os an absorbant and neutralizer of
foul secretions, when it can be brought in
immediate contact with them, there is noth'
ing superior to dry earth. But when it is
necessary to act on germs diffused through
the air, something that can be volatilized,
and something having a destructive power
on disease-producing germs like carbolic
acid, must be substituted. In speaking of
dry earth as a disinfectant, I may say that
this is tlie only appropriate thing for such a
city os Atlanta, and that dry earth-closets
shouldtake the place of our present system
of water-closets and sewers. Without an
abundance of water to flush sewers, and a
large stream for them to empty in, a system
of water carriage for excreta is as much out
of place as wind mills without wind.
PREPARATION OP PEPSIN.
Pepsin, now so much used as a medicine,
is the digestive or anti-fermentative principle
obtained from the mucus membrane line-
ing tbe stomach of the hog or cow, it is also
the active element of the chicken gizzard too,
so highly prized by our grand-mothers for
dyspepsia and sick stomach. The pepsin
sold in the drug stores is quite costly,and of
ten worthless. Every one can have a pure
article with little cost and labor by tbe fol
lowing process: Take off the external coat of
the stomach of a pig, leaving the mucous
lining or membrane. Then wipe off the ad
herent mucous and place the membrane be
tween cloth or paper till the moisture is ab
sorbed. Next cut the membrane into small
pieces, put them into a bottle, and pour on
enough glycerine to cover them, and let the
bottle stand twenty-four hours, stirring occa
sionally. Then pour off the glycerine and
repeat the process another time. A distin
guished German authority says this extract
may be kept a year in a well stopped bottle,
in a cool dark place. He soys that ten drops
of this, with one drop of hydrochloric (muri
atic) acid, are equal to eighty or a hundred
grains of the dry pepsin sold in the shops.
Pepsin given as above in combination with
the acid,is a safe and valuable remedy which
may be used in domestic practice in many
diseases. It is particularly recommended in
the bowel affection of children, in protract
ed and wasting fevers, and in all diseases at
tended with great debility and derangement
of the digestive organs. The use of pepsin
with bathing and proper diet would save
the lives of thousands of children who die
from actual starvation on account of fail
ure of the stomach to digest what is taken
into it. And one great recommendation to
it, is its harmles8iiess; being more so than
mauy articles of food in which children are
indulged, and which after all, is the princi'
pal cause of so many empty cradles and
short graves.
BY JNO. STAINBACK WIL80N, M. D., ATLANTA, OA,
Safe anil Simple Cure for Dlnrrliocn.
The following treatment will cure nine
cases in ten of ordinary diarrhoea :
Goto bed, immediately apply a flannel
band pretty tightly around the abdomen.eat
rice well cooked, and nothing else, and in
day or two you will be well. If there is
much heat about the abdomen the flannel
should be displaced by a towel doubled three
or four times, and wet in tepid or cold water,
re-wetting it whenever it becomes dry or un
pleasantly warm. If thirst is present, cold
water or lemonade may be taken in tmall
quantities, frequently repeated.
DISINFECTANTS.
Among the numerous disinfectants, the
best, except pure air, is carbolic acid. The
best way to use this, is to diffuse it through
the sick room by floating on water, a little
plate or saucer containg tiie pure crystalized
acid. The water should be put in a tin ves
sel, the saucer holding the acid should then
be placed on the water and heat applied be
neath the vessel containing the water, by
means of a lamp. In all cases of sickness,
and especially in bowel affliction, it is well
to keep a strong solution of this acid in the
vessels containing the excretions from the
bowels, removing it every time the vessels
are used. In the absence of the acid, cop-
