j A very remarkable peculiarity in the
J confining banquets of the ancients was their not
the resources of the table to
the gratification of one sense alone.
Having exhausted their invention in the
confection of stimulants for the palate,
j they broke in new ground and called ip
another sense to their and tto
delicate application of odors and richly
distilled perfumes, these refined volup¬
tuaries aroused the fainting appetitp
and added a more exquisite and ethereal
enjoyment to the grosser pleasures j(
the board. The gratification of the sense
® f «n«nmg-a ..nse held by u* in .ery
! j undeserved neglect, probably on account
its delicacy—was a subject of no little
j importance to the Romans. However
this may be, it is certain that the Ro
mans considered flowers as forming a
very essential article in their festal pre¬
parations, and it is the opinion of Ras
sins, that at their deserts the number of
flowers far exceeded that of fruits. When
Nero supped in his golden house, a
mingled shower of flowers and odorous
essences fell upon him ; and one of
Hehogabalus' recreations was to another
his oonrtiere with flowers, of whom it
may be said, they “died of a rose in
aromatic pain.” Nor was it ei tirely as
an object of luxury that the ! ancient*
made use of flowers; they w/ere coo
sidered to possess sanative and medicinal
qualities. According to Pliny 1 , Artbe
nseos and Plutarch, certain h. rbs ami
flowers were of sovereign powe r to pre¬
vent the approaches of elmet y or, as
lees clearly expresene it clarify
functions of the brain.
1 FOR THE FAIR SEX.

{ Dresses that lace in the back are fas¬
tened with a very fine small cord this
/ear.
Bullet-shaped button-molds covered
with velvet are placed on morning wrap¬
pers.
Cloaks are not even finished with but¬
they are fastened with olasps,

Wrappers sine /*t, »je a gown opening iu

»l»Hhed so as to >w a breadth of silk
matching the sir lated petticoat.
The ZerocoaL. new outside garment,
has a collar tha uay either be'ooncealed
inside or drawn p around the face, or
turned down so as to form a fiat ontside
collar.
Puffed draperie, fnr borders insteatl
of flounces, sleeve of a material differ¬
ing from that of tie dress, and all sorts
of fanoies, are sem on the new short
oostnmeB. i
The newest htndkerchiefs are bor¬
dered with. embrtideiafNin blne v viink
and moss-green, wit ! - tiny dots’"of yel¬
low, and repeat tie effoct of the gay
oolored brocades.
Dresses are universally trimmed with
embroidery, *vbich is applied, if not
wrought i*x>n the fabric, or they use
combinations of a plain color, with a
figured a mure, or brocade.
New joseg are made without foliage in
differeit shades of silk, satin or, velvet,
from ilmosfc black to blood red. The
darker shades predominate, and when
nsed they are associated with shaded
folisge.
The Parisian modiatn are using
frrita and vegetables by wholesale in
toe trimming of dresses and bonnets.
Little bunches of carrots and radishes,
boughs of plnms, and bnudles of aspar¬
agus are considered excellent taste.
Strawberries are very costly because the
fruit is so difficult to imitate.
New* and Notea for Women.
Sterling, Ill., has, or rather had,
short time since, two female physicians.
A lady in London does her faoe np in
a raw veal cutlet mask every night
her complexion.
Look up yonr grandmother's
no matter how ngly it is, you can make
it up with plain goods and wear it.
A bonnet with a crown of boa con¬
strictor’s skins and with serpents in gotd
on the brim is exhibited in Paris.
The Prussian government not long
since prohibited the sale of woman's
rights publications issued in the United
States.
The court mantle made for the wed¬
ding dress of the Princess Marie, of
Prussia, ifl of cloth of silver, and is six
yards long.
A wife and mother should never think
her home a narrow sphere of usefulness;
her influence begins there, who can say
where it ends ?
A parrot in majolica ware perched in
a ting, or set in « wire cage, is an Eng-
NO. 41 .
lish parlor ornament much affected by
the middle classes.
Dolman-shaped garments are longer
and street sacques shorter titan those
worn last winter. Silk or satin wraps
lined with fur are considered the most
stylish.
The correspondent of an eminent
writes from Paris in Janu¬
16%; “ A lew days ago two ladies
in a narrow street at ten a. v.
chose to permit her oarriage to
drawn back, and they remained six
without moving. A little after
o'clock they sent for refreshments
themselves and horses, Each was
resolved to *tay the night rather
than go back, and they would have done
so but that a tavern-keeper on the
who was prevented by their
obstinacy from bringing to his door a
oart laden with wine, went in search of
the commissary of the distriot, who,
after much trouble, succeeding in effect¬
ing an arrangement that each should
retire at the same moment, and that
neither should pass through the street
afterward.”
H«me Repairs.
A lady gives some hints for repairs
that can be made by any housekeeper:
The fire-brick of onr cook-stove ** gave
out,” and not one was to be had nearer
than T^hiiadelphia. A friend gave os a
**' 1*“ fair “In we uu-t wotiu.-r-.ii, U*uovh
we had little faith in it at first. We
mixed a cup of salt with two of coal
ashes, wetting it up with water. This
was applied to the inside of the stove in
the place of the fire-brick. It hardened
in a few hours, and answers as well aa
the brick. Cracks in stoves may be
mended in the same way. A large pail
used for taking np ashes had become
too full of holes for use, but was so light
and handy we did not like to give it np.
So we pasted stout cloth over the bot¬
tom, outside and in, and then covered
the cloth with a thin cement of salt and
ashes. It is a first-rate ash-pail still,
and hot ashes do not burn out the cloth.
Mending tin with cloth may be a new
fashion to some, but it works very well.
I know of a coal-scuttle that has done
good service for five years since it was
pronounced worn out, simply by having
a piece of cloth patched on with thick
flour paste. It needs renewing about
twice a year. A lady told me that she
mended a big dish-pan by covering the
bottom with white paint, and then put¬
ting on a pieoe of white doth, which she
also covered with paint. She had used
it five years then, and it is eleven yean
sgo, so I presume ehe is using it still,
as she was not a woman much given to
hange.
The co-operative associations of Ger¬
many have made steady progress during
the past year, notwithstanding the gen¬
eral stagnation in business. Their num¬
ber has reached 8,800, with more than a
million members, and the business trans¬
acted exceeds $600,000,000. Their capi¬
tal in stock, buildings and other prop¬
erty and in cash resources is esti¬
mated to be in the neighborhood of $40,
000,000.
A physician, finding a lady reading
“Twelfth Night,” said; “When Shak
epeare wrote about patience on a monu¬
ment, did he mean doctors' patients i”
“ No,” she answered, “ you don’t find
them on monuments, but under them,”
