OLD ROMAN WAYS.
Beaatj- Hatha, Perfnmea, Toilets Bad
Cruelty of the Women.
Women of ancient, luxurious Rome
used to eat parsley as a mouth cleanser,
Houey boiled in wine and aniseed was
also a sweetener of the breath, and
pastils of myrtle were employed for th
game purpose. Silver tongs aud knives
were employed in caring for the nails.
No woman of social eminence cut her
own linger uails. Those who had not
skilled slaves employed barbers. Per
fection In those respects was one of the
thirty beauties attributed to Helen of
Troy. Great pains were bestowed on
the feet, for It was considered that the
breeding was betrayed by them as eas
ily as by the hands. They were always
much in evidence, the sandals worn nol
hiding them. Long, tapering fingers
were highly prized. Various kinds ol
herb decoctions were employed to beau
tify the fingers. Pliny gives recipes fot
removing any undesired substances
from the nails.
Asses milk contributed to the white
ness of the women's nkln. It was some
times poured Into the bath and tb
whole body laved In it, and sometime!
the bands and face were sponged with
It from a silver basin, the soft linen
towel completing the process. The hail
was delicately scented, and all kinds ol
washes and burnishers were applied t
It It took many slaves to bring tht
tresses Into the classic bands or high
pyramids which were the fashion a!
various times. Terfumes were not only
applied to hnlr, hands, clothes and tb
person generally, but pervnded thl
room.3. which were hung with garlands
and decorated with blooms of many
kinds. The dresses of Roman matrons
were made brilliant with various proc
esses of prossiug and smoothing, ma
chines being employed for the purpose.
Though most refined in the duties ol
the toilet the women of that day were
barbaric In their cruelty. Woe be to th
poor slave who failed to follow her mis
tress' command. She was whipped by
the public flngellntor If she did not fai:
a prey to the personal fury of her mis
tress, who would hurl nt her victim tht
mirror or anything else at hand and
would not disdain to pierce her tendei
flesh with the long, ever ready halrpli

FIRE AND AIR.
The Ancient Recognised the Inti
mate Relational Between Them.
The Intimate relation between flr
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that ail
was necessary for fire. The experi
ment of burning a candle in a closed
vessel, now so familiar to every school
boy, Is a very old one, and the influ
ence of a blast of air on a furnace had
been probably noticed from a very re
mote period. By some It was affirmed
to be the food of fire, while by others
the same belief was embodied in th
phrase, "Air nourishes fire."
Again, It was long ago observed thai
niter, a substance well known to tht
chemical philosophers of the past could
produce intense ignition. It was hencs
inferred that, since niter possessed this
property, It necessarily followed thai
the two substances resembled each oth
er in composition. According to Rob
ert Boyle, the air contained "volatiU
niter," while Lord Bacon held that all
contained a "volatile, crude and windy
spirit" and thunder and lightning
were supposed to be due to the pres
ence of minute particles of this nitei
diffused through air.
The important bearing of such obser
vatlons is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which Is one of the chief constltu
cuts of air and the one to which II
owes its power of supporting combus
tion, also forms the largest elementarj
constituent of niter and is likewise th
source of the power possessed by thai
body of supporting combustion.
The action of heat on metals In caus
ing them to lose their metallic lustei
had also not escaped notice, and Car
dan, a philosopher who lived during
the sixteenth century. In noticing tht
increase in weight that lead undergoes
when heated in air, attributed it to tht
gas In the air, which feeds flame and
which rekindles a body presenting as
ignited point

A Scotsman went to an English race

Strungely enough, the horse be backed

very carefully before placing it in his
