A TURKISH LADY'S BATH. T Her otliro fiirst removed. An at tendant jukes n glove every day it is a new clove of uudrcsscd silk. With the disengaged hand she pours over her mistress bains of warm water. Then, by gentle lriction with the glove, she (slowly removes the palt and impurities which nre deposited on the skin. This liuished, the attendant covers the ludy Irotn head to foot, by means of a mop of lowny silk, with a luther made of pecu liar coop peculiar, I believe to Turkey. Upon this soup depends much of that peach like softness and snowy whiteness of the skin, fur which Eastern women nlwnys arc so remarkable. It has the reputation of removing stains, spots,and freckles that are not deeply marked in the cuticle. This part of the matter i'a. having been carefully performed, the lady is again deluged with water heated to one hundred ond ten or one hundred and twenty degrees, aud poured from tabs (basins) of silver. Large towels we might then call them sheets of the finest muslin, richly embroidered with flowers and cold, arc wrapped around . her, and she is led iuto a saloon, where, rolliog up a heap of cushion, she sinks into a soft,drcamliko languor that might oecouic laintncss were it not lor tne as siduity with which a slave fans her. As soon as she is sufficiently recovered to bear it, another slave combs, perfumes, and disposes her hair in ornamental braids. The hour after the bath is one of gentle, sleepy, dreaminess. THE SLA DAY STONE. In one of the English coal mines there is a constant formation of lime stoue, caused by the constaut trickling of water through tho rocks. This wa ter contains a great many particles of lime which are deposited in the mine, and, as the water passes off, these be come h:trd, aud form limestone. This stouc would always be white, like mar ble, were it not that men are working ing in the mine, and, as the black dust rises from tho coal, it mixes with fie soft lime, mid, iu that way, a black stone is firmed. In the night, when there is no coal du.t rising, the stoi e is white ; then again, the nest day, the next day, when the miners are at work, another black layer is formed, and so on, alternately, black and white, through the week, until Sunday colors. Then, if the miners keep the Sabbath, a much larger layer of white stone- will be form ed tfan before. There will be tho white stone of Saturday n;ght and the whole of Sunday, so that every seventh day the white layer will be about three times as thick as any of the others. But it they work on the Sabbath, they sco it marked against them in the stone, llence the miners call it " The Sunday stone." Perhaps many who now break th j Sabbath would try to spend it bet ter if there was a " Sunday stone " where they could see their unkept Sab baths with their black marks. PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
