FOR FEMININE REARERS.
Socle**- Girl* 111 (he IMcklc >lii»tne«e<
Two of the beat known young ladies
in New Orleans society are at thi* mo¬
ment conducting they quite a large pickle delic¬
business, and are selling their
ious pickles everywhere from French
Market to Carrollton. These girls started
into the pickle making business in a
frolic, but succeeded so well that they
have just ordered several hundred dozen
bottles with their “firm name,” “B. &
T.” blown in the glass. “B. & T.” are
ithe initials of their first names, which,
if it was only permissible to tell, would
doubtless subject the pretty pickle
makers to an avalanche of proposals from
forehanded young men.— Neio Orleans

Old Notions Concerning' Bridesmaids
Instead of being so many graceful or¬
naments at the marriage ceremony, as
nowadays, the bridesmaids in olden
times had various duties assigned to
them. Thus one of the principal tasks
was dressing the bride on her wedding
morning, when any omission in her toilet
was laid to their charge. At a wedding,
too, where it w as arranged that the bride
phould be followed by a numerous train
pf lady friends, it was the first brides¬
maid’s duty to play the part of a drill
mistress, “sizing” them so that “no pair
jin the procession were followed by a
taller couple.” She was also expected to
pee that each bridesmaid was not only
duly provided with a sprig of rosemary,
pr a floral posy pinned to the breastfolds
jiet pf her dress, but had a symbolical chap
in her hand. In many parts of Ger¬
many it is still customary for the brides¬
maids to bring the myrtle wreath, which
they have subscribed together to purchase
pn the nuptial eve, to the house of the
bride, and to remove it from her head at
the close of the wedding day. After
this has been done, the bride is blind¬
folded, and the myrtle wreath being put
into her hand she tries to place it on
the head of one of her bridesmaids as
they dance around her; for, in accord¬
ance with an old belief, whoever she
crowns is sure to be married within a
year from that date. As may be imagined
this ceremony is the source of no small
excitement, each bridesmaid being
naturally anxious to follow the example
of the bride. Referring once more to
•the bridal w reath and chaplet, it is still
a current notion in many parts of our
ow r n country that these must take
special care that her bridesmaid throw
away every pin. Not only is it affirmed
that misfortunes will overtake the bride
|who retains even one pin used in her
marriage toilet, but w-oe also to the
bridesmaids if they keep any of them, as
their prospects of marriage will be ma¬
terially lessened.
Fashion Notes.
None but brides wear white kid gloves
nowadays.
Woolen lace is used even for trimming
underskirts.
More and more fashiona- e # grows
tinsel braid.
For dressy walking shoes French kid
still heads the list.
Wool canvas or sail cloth is the newest
fabric for seaside dresses.
Undressed suede gloves remain the
favorites for dressy occasions.
Seaside and country dresses are now
in the hands of dressmakers.
New r silk and lisle thread gloves come
in all the fashionable kid colors.
Ribbons will be used with a profusion
unknowm for years, if ever before.
Woolen lace of the color of the gar¬
ment trims many mantles and costumes.
Small girls’ dresses are made shorter,
and they define the form more closely in
the back.
Flat turbans and conical-crowned,
narrow-brimmed hats are equally fash¬
ionable for little girls.
French crapes, richly embroidered,
will be among the most appropriate ma¬
terials for summer wear.
Superimposed waistcoat fronts of
pla: tings of moire, surah or lace are seen
on imported Paris wraps.
Red silk jerseys are pretty worn over
skirts of printed sateen or percale figured
with red for house dresses.
Plaid jackets of fine Gilbert flannel are
made with belts and a hood lined with
bright or sober brown surah.
Bead embroidery on the collars, cuffs
and waistcoats of dressy jackets are
among other decorative fancies.
Full jabot ruffles of black lace are
placed down the front*, around the bot¬
tom, the neck, and alcove* of dtesay
black aiik street jackets.

last accounts the supply of the alkaloid

orders have been accumulated in hun¬

has been so great as to deplete the stock
of the German manufacturers, The
stocks of cocoa leaves both in Europe and
America are reported to be small and

prospect of supplying large amounts of

the value of this anaesthetic, so far as
demonstrated at present, is confined to
operations upon the eye. It has been
proved in the majority of cases that an
application to the eye of a few drops of
2 or 4 per cent solution will produce insensi¬ a

quiring the use of chloroform or ether

ophthalmic practice this substance has
not been universally so successful, al¬

six weeks by some Chicago dentists. It
acts only on the mucous membrane, and
appears to have no effect on the bone.

removed the nerve without her experi¬

be occasioned by the prick of a pin. An¬

7 The Virgin’s Kiss.
The following description of the “Vir¬
gin’s Kiss,” an ancient mode of punish¬
ment, is taken from the Newcastle (Eng.)
Chronicle:
The Baiser de practiced la Vierge” in was olden a mode
of punishment days,
at Baden-Baden, during the time that a
Vehmgericht held the its ghastly (so-called) court in
the vaults beneath Neue
Schloss. I extract the following account
from “Murray’s Hand-book of Northern
Germany.” After describing the dun¬
geons, the writer says:
“In one chamber, loftier than the rest,
called the Rack Chamber (Folter Kam
mer) the instruments of torture stood; a
row of iron rings, forming part of the
apparatus, still remains in the wall. In
a passage adjoining, there is a
well or pit in the floor, now boarded
over, originally covered with a trap¬
door. The prisoner, upon whom doom
had been passed, was led into this pas¬
sage, and clesired to kiss an image of the
Virgin, placed at the opposite end; but
no sooner did his feet rest on the trap¬
door than it gave way beneath his
weight, and precipitated him to a great
depth below, upon a machine composed
of wheels, armed with lancets, by which
he was torn to pieces. The secret of
this terrible dungeon remained unknown
until, as the story goes, an attempt to
rescue a little dog, which had fallen
through the planking above the pit, led
to the discovery, at a depth of many
yards, of fragments of ponderous with wheels
set round with rusty knives, a por¬
tion of bones, rags and torn garments
ahering to them.”
