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 Picayune. 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.

At last accounts the supply of the alkaloid in New York had been exhausted, while orders have been accumulated in hun¬ dreds. The demand in Europe, likewise, 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 largely of inferior quality, so that the prospect of supplying large amounts of the alkaloid in the near future seems not very good. You know, of course, that 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 more or less complete transient bility to pain. Operations ordinarily re¬ quiring the use of chloroform or ether have been performed upon patients conscious of every thing being done, but saved from pain by a weak aque¬ ous solution of this salt.

It acts only on the mucous membrane, and appears to have no effect on the bone. Dentists use it ^removal on teeth requiring the treat¬ ment and i^he of nerves. One told me the other day that he had placed a cotton saturated with a few drops of a four per cent, solution on the exposed nerve of a patient’s tooth and removed the nerve without her experi¬ encing any severer pain than what would be occasioned by the prick of a pin.

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.” The Congregational has six academy teachers at Salt and Lake City, Utah, 240 pupils, a large proportion of whom come from Mormon homes.
