FRENCII AND A MEM AV HITE E A N's FOY: I\IIITENING THE :1:1N. These are numerous enough to allow con siddrable liberty of chOice. That - which we are inclined to name as preferable to the whets, is powdered Freitch chalk. This is, in• fact, not chalk at all, but a fine variety of soapstone, obtained at Briancon, a small' village in the French Alps, anti therefore known in commerce as critic tie Briancon. It is very fine, very white, and very adhesiye. It does not injure the skin in the least, and does notlose• its color by the secretions of the body, nor by exposure .to coattases; or sun-light. ; • As the pure Briancon stone is not alWays to be_ had, we have taken the. pains to ex amine specimens from most of the, soapstone quarries in the United States, and after con siderable search we found an article, .in every way equal to the very best imported. ThiS is from the mountain region of North. Carolina, and is ground and sold for various purposes by a Cincinnati firm. We have called their atter • tion to its. value as a cosmetic, and it rt:bly deserves to take • the place of, the long-Jele brated a«ie de Briancon. • FOR Wlen the exposure is only .occasional, we can readily remove it, but when frequently re peated, it is extremely intractable. For ati oc eaSional sun-burn, the following pomade is really good. It may be applied 'at night • after washing the skin, and be allowed to remain nntil morning. 'lt not only lessens the red ness, but soothes the burning, dry; and irritated feeling of the skin : Take— , . Spermaceti s two ounces ; Oil of almond - two ounces ; Honey one teaspoonful ; Otto of roses (orally scent) a few drops. Melt the spermaceti iu a pipkin, then add Ole oil of alMonds, and when they are thor oughly mixed; stir in the honey. Take the pipkin off the fire, and stir : constantly until it is cool, adding the scent. BLEACHING WITH. THE BURNING-(ils. Many years ago two French Surgeons ' MM. Lepeyre and Lecomle, observed that the rays of the, sun, concentrated by a louse or burning glass, exert a peculiar and propitious effect on certain cutaneous diseases. The chemical properties of sunlight, they thought) must have something to do with this, and they called the attention of the profession to their observations, Like many other useful discoveries, however ) the process was suffered to laPse ali iost into forgetfulness. Within the past few years it has been revived, chiellyby the exertions of a person not a member of the profession, and even, more ,bas been claimed for it than it is rightfully entitled to. There is no doubt but that it is the most efficacious means yet devised to destroy these red birth-marks, hut it requires no little prac tice and judgment to obtain favorable residts: 'Reheat must be so adjusted as to shrivel s the vessels in the true Akin without destroying the skin itself, or otherwise a scar will result. We have employed these glasses iu several instances, and are convinced that they are a most *Por tant addition to pur means to combat these trying disfigurements. BALM FOR A BLACK EYE. In London and Paris, where wild young clerks are apt to acquire a black eye occasion ally in their nocturnal rambles, which cost them their positions if the head of their houses were to notice it, there is a class of artists whose avocation it is to conceal the trace of such untoward accidents: For minor colorations, such as we are now speaking of, they employ the following method: ' Take a little precipitated. French chalk in . impalpable powder, rub it on the part, and gently blow or dust °lithe loose particles. Then apply a little of the mune powder, very slightly tinted with carmineolusting in the same manner. clear * the edges of the eyelashes gwith its pencil, and tone down the outer margin of the dusted por 7 • thin, 'so that it insensibly merges into the sur rounding shin.

BAIMAILISM OF PALM7PADDLINi We remember seeing President Lincoln's right hand on one occasion when it was act ually swollen by a series of violent hand- Shaking. Why is It thatAbis absurd custom of fipaddling palms" has been alloWed to be -come so universal among us? It is a severe Infliction on public men. General George Washington, it is well known, had a strong aversion to it, and at his levees always stood With his hands behind him, simply bowing With: dignified courtesy as one after another was presented. Our best society, we are . glad 110 , Ece, are discountenancing hand-shaking as a general custom, and reserve it for a mai:k of personal, kindly feeling.

He 'then pricked into the back of his hand the eriblems -of the French Republic, which was be -immortal. But 'when the Republic Was ingloriouslY deftmet, 'and Jules Bernadotte-Was' no hinger Sergeant-Major, but Was Charles King of Sweden, the Re publican emblems on his band were beyond all expression annoying, and uwl apropos. If a man ever. wished to rid •himself of -such a brand, Bernadotte did. As he. was rich, pow erful and a king, be succeeded. • The -same method, we are, glad to addi . can be applied to one who IS, neither of -these. We shall re, late it. • An ingenious surgeon hit upon the follow ing device. He took one of those metallic blanches we have spoken of in the section on whitening the skin, moistened it to 'a half liquid, and tinged it with tine rouge, to the exact color of the skin. This he sptead in a thin hint, very exactly and evenly over the tattoo-marks, and then taking .an instrument folioed of several tine needles, prieked the skin, so as to allow the paSte to enter, and' form a layer above the carbon. This answered the purpose completely, and the last. emblem of the republic disappeared from Sweden. As we have said, this process can be repeated with nniform success, and it is the only process which bolds out any prospect of concealing such marl $. • ART rrEns —Tenarari, the celourated sculptor of Rome, died there in December, at the age of eighty.

It is already well known that the pawning business' is very.different in France from, what it is in England, and Much has been 'said'. Of the profit which the Government derives from keeping to itself the monopoly of this ingenions trade, Being entirely under Government control it is easy to ascertain . the -.amount of. the loans erected throughout France. At the central ofiice, the books recording the entire business of the country are kept. -It N.vould appear that the pawning business is subject to the greatest variations, and that theSe variations depend to a very, great extent on the state of foreign af fairs. But, contrary to all .expectations, the loans are less frequent in periods of revolution. Are the people frightened lest the revolutionists, should plunder -the pawnships? Certain. -it is that in lffitl, in 1814, in 1 t:•z10, and in 1814 the Monts-de-pieta thioughont 'France did but lit tle business, and the total figure of the loans made by them in these years was below that. of years of prosperity and peace.

Apart from these financial results, the artiele from. which w borrow_ them makes mention of a'few, romantic incidents connected with this btisiness of the pawnshop. In 1849 the Mont-- de- , Piete of Paris offered for sale a silver watch pledged hi 1817 for the sum of eight francs. The pledge had been, renewed each yeaf.bY the borrower, who coultrnever scrape enough money together to redeem it, and so be had paid twenty-six francs in interest: For two years,Lowever, he had:not reappeared.
