If anything was wanted to give us
an idea of Rojian magnificence, are
would 'Am our eyes from public monu
ment's demoralized games and grand
1 recessions, we would forget the stat
ues in brass aiid marble, wbicb out
numbered the thing inhabitants, so
p-vne roiis that one hundred thousand
have been recovered and still embellish
Italy; and would descend into the
lower sphere of material life those
1U'mgs which attest luxury and taste
to ornaments, dresses, sumptuous liv
ing, ami rich furniture.
The art of using metals and cutting
precious stones surpassed anything
known at the present day.
In the decoration of houses, in so
c'al entertainments, in cookery, the
ltomans were remarkable. The mo
H iic, signet "rings, cameos, bracelets,
Vronzcs, vases, couches, banqueting,
tables, lumps, chariots, colored glass,
gilding, mirrors, mattresses, cosmetics,
p :rfumes, hair dyes, silk ribbons, pot
teries, all attest great elegance and
beauty. The tables of thuga root and
J Mian bronze were as extensive as
the sideboards of Spanish walnut, so
much admired in the Great Exhibition
at London.
Wood and Ivoiywere carved as ex
quisitely as in Japan or China..
Mirrors were made ot polished sil
ver. Glass cutters could imitate the
colors of precious stones so well that
tiie Portland vase, taken from the
t tnb of Alexander Severus, was long
considered as a genuine sardonyx ;
brass could be hardened so as to cut
stone.
The palace of Nero glittered with
gold and jewels. Perfumes and flow
ers were showered from ivory ceilings.
The halls of vKligohulus were hung
with cloth and gold, enriched with jew
!. His Iwds were silver, and his
t ibles of gold. Tiberius gavs a mil
lion of sesterces for a picture ot his
led room. A banquet dish of Paesil
1ms weighed five huudred pounds silver.
The cups of Prases were of gold. (
Tunics were embroidered with the fig
ures of various animals. Sandals were
garnished with precious stones. Drink
ing cups were engraved with scenes
from the poets. Libraries were adorn
ed with busts and with tortoise shell,
and covered with gorgeous purple.
The lloraan grandees rode in gilded
chariots, bathed in marble baths, oined
on golden plate, drank from crystal
cups, slept on beds ol down, reclined
on luxurious couches, wore embroider
ed rolies, and were adorned with pre
cious stones.
They ransacked the earth and the
seas for rare dishes for their banquets,
and ornamented their houses with car-jK-ts
from Babj-Ioa,onyx enps from By
thinta, marbles from Numidia, bronzes
from Corinth, statues from Athens
whatever, fn short, was piecious or
curious in the roost distant countries.
The luxuries of the bath almost ex
ceed belief, and on the walls were mag
nificent frescoes and paintings, exhib
iting an inexhaustive productiveness
in landscape and mythological scenes.
Tnr Bed Sea. The following is
taken from a letter appearing in the
1 ist number of the Bombay Catholic
JJxnminer : "Unlike the waters of the
Indian Ocean, which ate of adeep blue
rol or, those ef the lied Sea are of a
bright emerald green. No one, I sup
jose, even imagined that they were
red ; but some may naturally ask how
it come to b culled the Bed Sea. To
this question I am not sure that I can
give a satisfactory answer. We know
that the Yellow Sea of China is so-
called on account of the quantity of
the sou conveyed into it oy the Ganate
King, and the waters of the Black Sea,
I believe I have somewhere read, are
of an unusually dark hue, though the
frequent storms to which it is subject
would amply justify its present epi
thet. As for the White Sea of Russia,
it probably owes its name to its being,
a great part of the year covcreJ with
now and ice. For the name of the
Kcd Sa, I have heard two explana
tions: on, that when thisea continues
calm for several days together, its sur
face is overspread with myriads of ani
malcules of a reddish color ; the other,
that the Arabian coast abounds in reefs
f red cora). The correctness of these
explanations I was not able to verify,
as on tlteone hand this Sea was always
rough, and on the other we never ap-
Iuoached very near the Arabian Coast.
n the 'Lnsiad' we are told that it
takes its color from the bottom ; br.t
what this precisely means appears to
roe to be not very clear."
TJVk Mii.k Instead of Soap. A
lady writing to the New York Times
fys i "Without giving any recijws for
making soap, I wish to I ell all the
bard-worked farmers' wives how much
labor they may save by not using such
vast quantities- of this article. For
ireirly five years I have used1 soap only
for washing clothes. In all that time
I have not used one pound of soap for
washing: dishes or other kitchen pur
poses. My family has ranged from
three to twenty -fire, I have used cis
tern water, limestone water as hard as
possible, and hard water composed of
other ingredients beside lime, and find
with all these my plan; works eqnally
welT. It is this. Have your water
quite hot, tDd add very little milk to
it This softens the water, gives the
dishes a fine gloss, and preserves th
hands ; it removes the grease, even
that from beef, and ret no grease is
found floating on the water, as when
soap is used. TBe stone vessels I al
wavs set on the stove with a little
water in thera when the victuals are
taken from them ; thus they are hot
when I am ready to wash them, and
the grease is easily removed. I find
that my tinware kcep3 longer whin ,

AOTHETt ArPLICATIOK of Machtnert.
The little machine some time since
invented in France, by the aid of
which stenographic writing may be
accomplished at the rate of between
two and three hundred words per
minuu Is claimed to hare prored a
practical success. It seems to be very
simple. There Is a key-board ope
rated by the hand, and composed of
twelve black and an equal number of
white keys; and on each aide of
the Instrument is s large key,
moved by the pressure of the
wrist, and serving to give supplemen
tary signs which simplify the reading
of the characters printed. All the
keys, when operated, produce indica
tions in ink on a roll ot paper, which
is taken from a reel in manner similar
to that on the Morse telegraphic ap
paratus; the black keys, however,
give long marks, while the white
ones cause similar dots to be tran
scribed. At each pressure of the
fingers on the keyboard, the
paper Is automatically unrolled for
about 0.02 of an Inch, so that on each
line any combination of twelve double
signs may be imprinted, and these
signs are arranged in three groups of
four each, and read from left to right
la the ordinary manner. The num
ber of characters which may be made
on each division of four is more than
sufficient to require a single move
ment to form a single letter ; in other
words, with practice, three letters or
less can be written at once. If the
useless letters be suppressed, such as
double letters, e mute, &c, frequent-!
ly a single movement will produce an
entire word. The manipulation of the
keyboard requires about six months
practice to ensure skill. Pat. Bight

EJ
InoN Castings. A writer In the
London Iron on the subject of cast
ings, thinks that the whole trouble
of deficient soundness arises from the
shrinking not taking place simultane
ously. Given a casting of any com
plexity of form, there cannot, he says,
be the slightest danger of breakage
from shrinkage if the cooling through
out takes place simultaneously, and if
the cores will give to the contraction.
This latter necessary quality of the
cores should be carefully attended to,
as evidently, if the cores will not give,
the casting must burst under the con
tracting strain. There is, however,
great danger to the casting, when the
cooling is not simultaneous, of many
portions being placed under great
tension, even to such an extent as to
cause them to part. This simultane
ous rate of cooling is very seldom to
be obtained naturally in any casting.
In a very great proportion of castings,
the sections of metal are by no means
equal throughout, and, even if they
are, the inner portions of the casting
are not able to radiate their heat away
with the same facility as the outer
ones. The rate of cooling is primari
ly dependent on the proportion of the
outside cooling surface to the mass of
interior metal in any portion. The rate
will also, secondarily, depend on its
position whether surrounded by, or
in close proximity with other metal,
or whether to the outslcle of the
mould. -
Expression-Glass. In portrait pho
tography a small mirror, called an
expression-glass, in which the sitter
can see his face, has been tried with
success. It consists of a round glass
miror about six inches in diameter,
secured by means of a universal joint
to a brass ring sliding on an upright
rod. The rod is supported by a base,
so that it will stand firm on the floor,
and by means of the ring and joint the
glass can be placed In any desired
position. On the top of the mirror is'
a telescopic sight, to enable the ope
rator to adjust the mirror in line with
the sitter's eyes. By the aid of this
glass the sitter is assisted to look in
the proper direction to obtain the
best view of the face, and is given a
fixed point on which to rest his eyes.
He also sees his face in the mirror,
nu may tnua correct any mrencitles i
of expression. The apparatus Is said
meet the approval of photographic
artists.

1 Ji. SWAYSE,
The discoverer and compounder of the far
famed DR. SWAYNE'S
SYRUP OF 171LD CIH,
And other valuable preparations. entered upon
blsTprofessional career with the important ad
vantire of a regular Medical Education In one
of the oldest and best schools In Philadelphia
and perhaps In the world. He subsequently
served a faithful term of practice in the Phila
delphia Dispensary, snd for many years attend
ed also in the Hospital. In these Institutions
heenjoved the most ample opportonitiesof ob
taining an insis-ht Into diseases In all their vari
ous forms as well as for ascertaining- the best
methods of their treatment. In offering, there
fore, to the people of the United States the
fruits of his extensive professional experience
In the medical compounds as the best results of
his skill and observation, that he feels that he Is
but proffering a boon to every family through
out the land, resting, as he does. confidently, in
the merits and efficacious virtues of the reme
dies he herewith commends. The vast amount
of testimony from all parts of tbe world has
proven "Dr. Swayne's Compound of Wild Cher
ry" the most efficacious remedy known, and It
Is "admitted by our most eminent physicians,
and all who have witnessed Its wonderful heal
ing properties. The Wild Cherry, in all ages of
the world and In all countries where it Is known,
has been Ijustly celebrated for Its wonderful
medical qualities, but its great power to cure
some of the worst and mnst distressing diseases
amonif us, was never fully ascertained until
the experiments of that skillful physician. Dr.
Swavne, had demonstrated Its high adaptation.
In combination with Pine Tree Tar and other
equally valuable vegetable Ingredients, which,
chemically combined, renders Its action ten
fold more certain and beneficial In curing all
diseases of the throat, breast and lungs. Ir.
Swayne's Wild Cherry Compound strikes at the
root of disease bv purifying- the blood, restor
ing the liver and kidneys to healthy actions, in
vigorating the nervous and shattered constitu
tion. It does so without prostrating or weak
ening the body in any way. It cures not only
the lungs and liver, but every organ dependent
upon a wasted or Impoverished state of tbe
blood.
A REMARKABLE CURE.
Abraham HussrcKER, two miles from Sklp
paekvilie, Montgomery county. Pa., contracted
a serious cold, which settled upon bis lungs,
with a violent cough, pains In side and bream,
and short breath. The symptoms became very
alarming; an abscess formed in the lungs and
made its way through tbe side, and discharged
large quantities of pus externsliy, so that his
physician thntig-bt that tbe power or functions
of one of his lungs was totally destroyed, and
therefore supposed the ce entirely hopeless.
This mournful state of thinirs continued for a
long time, until he was wasted and worn to a
skeleton. He was advised to make ue of
Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, and
throuo-h its use was restored to health.
In every section of the country there are per
sons who have been cured of consumption, in
lis several stajros, by the ii6e of Ir. Swayne's
Medicine. Many hitve been restored to health
after being confined to their beds, reduced to
mere skeletons, and troubled with cough, nirht
sweats, bectic fever, and all other indications
of an advanced stare of disease. It is true thiit
In all case6 where cures arcaffectcd the patient
must have some lungs remaining, but thous

Borax as a Preservative. Soros
recent experiments with a solution of
borax, by M. Dumas, point to its value
as an agent in destroying the sporea
of parasite plants, like those affecting
the grape, etc., iie power of destroying
low animal life, Infusoria and the like,
its usefulness In preserving anatomi
cal preparations and in arresting fer
mentation. It was also tried on milk
and fresh meats with success, and is
suggested as an aid in the treatment
of wounds. S. Beer, of Germany, in
the same line of research, announces
the use of borax as a solvent in the
treatment of timber. The coagulation
of the sap may be prevented by a so
lution of borax, and It may then be
removed from the wood by boiling.
ine iiuiDcr is said to be greatly im
proved in color and texture, and in
ability to resist decay. By omitting
the boiling, and leaving the borax in
the wood, it is rendered less liable to
Injury by fire.
The Altitude at which Man cas
Live. In July, 1872, Mr. Glalsher and
Mr. Coxwell, ascended in a balloon to
the height of 38,000 feet. Pevions to
the start, Mr. Glaisher's pulse stood
seventy-six beats a minute, Coxwell'a
at seventy-four; at 17,000, ft. tho pulse
of Mr. Glalsher was at eighty-four.that
of the latter at one hundred. At 19,
000 feet Glaisher's hands and lip's
were quite blue, but not his face; at
81,000 feet he heard his heart beating,
and his breathing became oppressed';
at 29,000 feet he became senseless. At
the Monastery of St. Bernard, tj.m
feet high, the monks become asthmat
ic, and are oomitelled frequently to
descend into the valley of the Rhone.
