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.
