TURKISH EMBROIDERIES. THE MANUFACTURE OF NEEDLEWORK APPAREL—ORIENTAL FASHIONABLE PRODUCTIONS. Frequently when loo] quaint and curious thir iflpops Ht tps city, fe _ __ 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.

Epirus, Albania, Servia and Bosnia purchase annually from Yanina some thousand costumes for men, women or children. An embroidered , costume for a lady brings there $400 f one for a man $350, and one fora child $125. Constan tinople sends to Egypt almost all the embroideries in gold' used there.

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. By R. V. Pierce, M. D., of the World’s Dis pensary, BuifalQ, N.

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.
