THE SOUTHERN WORLD, DECEMBER 15,1882. 59 §!(t jfottseljoJd. Prepared for the Southern World. Fashion Notes. Roman striped silks are use<f for full-dress occasions. Plain black silks are more fashionable than black satin or surah. New felt bonnets and hats are in colors to correspond with the suit. ' The braided jackets have renewed the suc cess of twenty-five years ago. The cashmere glove is very comfortable and appropriate for winter wear. Three different fabrics in the same dress is the limit allowed by fashion. Red hats, red feathers, red gloves, and red stockings are worn by the millions. Large Vandyke collars, with deep cuff's to match, made of rich lace and inserting, are worn over street jackets of black and other colored velvets. Flowers are now but little worn in the corsage in demi-toilet, being replaced by knots of ribbon in hues contrasting with that of the dress. Jewely, unless it is very rich, is now al most wholly confined to a fancy lace pin, and ear-rings, to serpentine bracelets, and one or two bangle rings. Adjustable trains on new dresses are made of three straight breadths, trimmed all around and attached under the painier puff on the back of the short skirt of a street dress. Very appropriate bridal toilets for yonng girls have skirts of faille trimmed with small puffings and rucliings, and plush red- ingotes, to form the waist and outer garment combined. Childrens frocks are made with long full sleeves, square necks, filled in with plaited muslin, plain skirts edged with two narrow flounces, and worn with a wide sash tied around the waist. Tucked sleeves fitted very closely to the arms are seen upon a number of imported dresses of artistic, (esthetic make. The fabric must be soft and pliable when this style of sleeve is adopted. For dancing toilets are imported very ^nnljfpl transparent silk muslins of exquis ite texture and finish, with single large flowers, such as roses and carnations, drop ped upon pale-tinted grounds. Brocaded or plaided skirts are a good deal worn at present, with close-fitting jersey basques of plain velvet in black, dark-green dark-bine or wine color, and trimmed with a passementerie of gold and iridescent beads. Pretty house dresses for young girls, are of peacock blue cashmere, with short draped apron of poppy-red, and poppy-red collar and cuffs, over which are worn others of hemstitched white muslin, leaving only the red edge visible. There are several new shapes in hats, one of which, the "muskeeter," is used in felt, with walking coat to match, the edge bound with a puffing, or simple binding of velvet, and the plumes matching without any ad' ditional color. Written specially tor tbe Southern World. HEALTH ITEMS. peras, alum, chloride of lime, and charcoal are good substitutes. And in the absence of everything else, dry earth, or what ie better, dry clay, can be obtained by every one with no expense and but little trouble. This, with a small admixture of carbolic acid, or even without it isa very good dUinfectantand absorbant. The advantages of earth-closets are now well established and the powers of simple dry earth have been fully demon strated by its action as a dressing when ap plied to foul sores in the form of a fine pow der. Its cleansing and healing effects have proved to be equal in many cases, to all tbe complex combinations of chemistry. The truth is, os an absorbant and neutralizer of foul secretions, when it can be brought in immediate contact with them, there is noth' ing superior to dry earth. But when it is necessary to act on germs diffused through the air, something that can be volatilized, and something having a destructive power on disease-producing germs like carbolic acid, must be substituted. In speaking of dry earth as a disinfectant, I may say that this is tlie only appropriate thing for such a city os Atlanta, and that dry earth-closets shouldtake the place of our present system of water-closets and sewers. Without an abundance of water to flush sewers, and a large stream for them to empty in, a system of water carriage for excreta is as much out of place as wind mills without wind. PREPARATION OP PEPSIN. Pepsin, now so much used as a medicine, is the digestive or anti-fermentative principle obtained from the mucus membrane line- ing tbe stomach of the hog or cow, it is also the active element of the chicken gizzard too, so highly prized by our grand-mothers for dyspepsia and sick stomach. The pepsin sold in the drug stores is quite costly,and of ten worthless. Every one can have a pure article with little cost and labor by tbe fol lowing process: Take off the external coat of the stomach of a pig, leaving the mucous lining or membrane. Then wipe off the ad herent mucous and place the membrane be tween cloth or paper till the moisture is ab sorbed. Next cut the membrane into small pieces, put them into a bottle, and pour on enough glycerine to cover them, and let the bottle stand twenty-four hours, stirring occa sionally. Then pour off the glycerine and repeat the process another time. A distin guished German authority says this extract may be kept a year in a well stopped bottle, in a cool dark place. He soys that ten drops of this, with one drop of hydrochloric (muri atic) acid, are equal to eighty or a hundred grains of the dry pepsin sold in the shops. Pepsin given as above in combination with the acid,is a safe and valuable remedy which may be used in domestic practice in many diseases. It is particularly recommended in the bowel affection of children, in protract ed and wasting fevers, and in all diseases at tended with great debility and derangement of the digestive organs. The use of pepsin with bathing and proper diet would save the lives of thousands of children who die from actual starvation on account of fail ure of the stomach to digest what is taken into it. And one great recommendation to it, is its harmles8iiess; being more so than mauy articles of food in which children are indulged, and which after all, is the princi' pal cause of so many empty cradles and short graves. BY JNO. STAINBACK WIL80N, M. D., ATLANTA, OA, Safe anil Simple Cure for Dlnrrliocn. The following treatment will cure nine cases in ten of ordinary diarrhoea : Goto bed, immediately apply a flannel band pretty tightly around the abdomen.eat rice well cooked, and nothing else, and in day or two you will be well. If there is much heat about the abdomen the flannel should be displaced by a towel doubled three or four times, and wet in tepid or cold water, re-wetting it whenever it becomes dry or un pleasantly warm. If thirst is present, cold water or lemonade may be taken in tmall quantities, frequently repeated. DISINFECTANTS. Among the numerous disinfectants, the best, except pure air, is carbolic acid. The best way to use this, is to diffuse it through the sick room by floating on water, a little plate or saucer containg tiie pure crystalized acid. The water should be put in a tin ves sel, the saucer holding the acid should then be placed on the water and heat applied be neath the vessel containing the water, by means of a lamp. In all cases of sickness, and especially in bowel affliction, it is well to keep a strong solution of this acid in the vessels containing the excretions from the bowels, removing it every time the vessels are used. In the absence of the acid, cop- SECRET OF A BEAUTIFUL FACE. Every lady desires to be considered handsome. Tbe most Important ad- lunct to beauty Is a clear, smooth, soft and beautiful skin.
