TURKISH EMBROIDERIES.
THE MANUFACTURE OF NEEDLEWORK
APPAREL—ORIENTAL FASHIONABLE
PRODUCTIONS.
Frequently when loo]

embroideries on slippers and caps of
undoubted oriental manufacture ; hut
we are told that these articles come
from Constantinople, not from India,
China or Japan. Just at present there
is in Paris. London and .New York a
revived demand for embroidery in the
oriental whielf drafts attention
to the fact that the manufacture and
trade in this kind of work of the Ot
toman empire have greatly increased
for both home consumption and ex
port.
In the palmy days of the western
empire, Constantinople supplied Italy,
France and Germany with richly em
broidered tablecloths and ecclesiastical
robes, and to-day Constantinople is the
principal centre of Turkish embroi
deries in gold, silver and silk. All the
various kinds of embroidery that coma
frorii Asia, Persia, India and China are
of the same character as those pro
duced in the Ottoman empire, ana in
commerce are classed as Turkish era
broideries. Some of these works par
take of the nature of gold and silver
lace, and are termed point de guipure
and point de plume.
Yanina is the centre of an important
artistic industry, that of Greek and
Albanian costumes ornamented or cov
ered with loop and raised embroidery,
mingled with sprigs of coral, pearls
and crystal beads. An Albanian or
Greek lady’s dress of the richest kind
is composed usually of a red petticoat
embroidered in palm leaves and' other
designs, over which is worn another
petticoat or tunic of white satin em
broidered with gold thread. The vest

Europeah countries it regarded
as the hCi8fht of ill-breeding to allow a
letter, which iteeds a reply, to go un
answered, and so it ought to be con
sidered here. This is a point ott which
parents should lay great stress to their
children, They should be taught to
consider it as rude not to reply to a
letter which needs attention, as to hand
a fork with the prong end. The busi
est people are generally those who are
the most exact in this respect. The
late Duke of Wellington, who, it will
be admitted, had a good deal on his
hands at different times of his life, re
plied to every letter, no matter from
how humble a source. Once a clergy
man, who lived in a distant part of the
kingdom, wrote his Grace, on whom
neither he nor his parish had a shadow
of claim, to bsg for a subscription to
rebuild a church. By return of mail
came back a letter from the Duke to
the effect that he should not have been
applied to for such an object; but the
parson sold the letter as an autograph,
:br £5, and put the Duke down for
hat amount among the subscribers.
Common Sense vs' Prejudice.

lam aware that there is a popular, End not
altogether unfounded,, prejudice against “ pa.
tent medicines,” owing to the small amount,
of merit which many of them possess. The;
appellation “Patent Medicine,” does not
apply to my remedies, as no potent has ever
been asked for or obtained npou them, nor
have they been urged upon the public as
“ cure-alls.” They are simply some favorite
prescriptions, which, in a very extensive prac
tice, have proved theii- superior remedial vir
tues in the cure of the diseases for whicl
are recommended. , Every practicing j
oiau Has his favorite remedies, widen ' he
oftencst recommends or uses, because he has
the greatest confidence in their virtues. The
patient does hot know their composition.
Even prescriptions are usually written in a
language unintelligible to any but the drug
gist. As much Secrecy Is employed as in the
preparation of proprietary medicines. Does

never failed to arrest its decay, and to pro

Winter li notv fairly upon us, and the
teams are hastening to the lubber woods in
various parts of the country. Our advice to
every man who goes to the woods, be he cap
tain, cook, teamster, or any 1 other mah, is to
take along a good stock of Johnson’s Anodyne
Liniment anil Parsons’ Purgative Pills. Many
months of Tabor (In the aggregate) may be
saved by this, precaution.
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, FOR
TOE CURE OF ON&UMPTION,
COUGHS AND COLDS.
The’greut virtue of this medicine is that it ripens
the matter and throws it out of the system, purifies
the blood, and thus effects a cure.
Schknck’s Sea Weed Tonic, fob the Cube of
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Etc. .
The Tonic produces a healthy action of the atom
ach, creating an appetite, forming chyle, and curing
the most obstinate casta of indigestion.
SCHENCK’S MANDRAKE PILLS, FOB THE CURE OF
Liver Complaint, Etc.
These Pills are alterative and produce a healthy
action of the liver without the least danger, as they
are free from calomel and yet more efficacious in re
storing a healthy action of the liver.
These remedies are a certain cure for Consumption,
as the Pulmonic Syrup ripens the matter and purifies
the blood. The Mandrake Pills act niton the liver,
create a healthy bile, and remove fill diseases of the
liver, often a cause of Consumption. The Seed Weed
Tonic gives tone and strength to the stomach, makes
n good digestion, and cuablea the organs to form good
blood; and thus creates a healthy circulation of
healthy blood. The combined action of these medi
cines, ns thus explained, will cure every ense of Con
sumption, if taken in time,-aiid the use of the medi
cines persevered in.
