Mud serves for cold cream and vasolinoi dust' for fullor's earth and pearl powder, and wator, as with us', is perhaps the mo3t important necessary, But birds espe-pially, says tho London Spectator, are mighty partioular about the quivlity of their "toiletdust," and equally nice as to tho water in which thoy prefer to wash. Some use water only, somp water, or dust, others dust and no water. Partridges are a good example of the dusting birds, and are most careful in tho selection of their dust baths. Dry loam suits then best.

But perhaps their favorite place is, a meadow where a few turfs have been removed, There they scratch, out tbo loam, and shuffle back-: wards under the grass roots till their feathors are full of the pool earth. In wet weather they find, if possible, a heap of burnt ashes on the site of a I weed fire, and dust there. Sparrows, on the contrary, always choose road dust, the. dryest and finest possible. Larks also, are fond of the road, and dust there in the early morning.

But they, too, have their fancy, and choose the dry, gritty part, where the horse's hoofs tread. Wild dupks, though feeding by the salt water, prefer to wash in fresh water pqols, and will fly long distances inland to running brooks and ponds, whore tfcey preen and wash themsoives the early morning. But though pass ing so much time on water, ducks seem to prefer a shower; bath to any other; and in heavy rain they may be seen opening their feathers and allowing the rain to soak in, after which they dress the whole surface with oil from the reservoir which we mentioned above. Swallows and martins are as nice in their choipo of bath water as any "professional beautyi" nothing but newly fallen rain water thoroughly pleases them, and if tompted tq bathe, it is generall by some shallow pool in the road which an hour's sun will evaporate. We have never, seen hawks or falcons bathing when wild.

Trained birds, in good health, bathe almost daily, and the bath of a peregrine falcon is a very careful performance. But no nymph Could bo more jealous of a witness than these shy birds, and it is, not until after many careful glances in every direction that the falcon desconds from hor block and wades into the shallow Then, after more suspicious glanoes, she thrusts her broad head under the wator and flings it on to her back, at the same time raising the feathers and letting tho drops thoroughly soak them. After bathing heid and back, she spreads her wings and tail fan-liko on the water, and rapidly opens and shuts thom, after which sho stoops down and splashes the drops in every direction. The bath over, sbe flies once more to the block, and turning her back to the sun, spreads every feather pf the wing avid tail, raises those on the body, and assists the prooess of drying by a tromulous motion imparted to every quill, looking more like an old cormorant on a buoy than a peregrine. Cats, large and small, make the most careful toilet of any class of animal, with tho exception of some of tho opossums- The lions and tigers wash thomsolves in exactly the same manner as the cat, wetting the dark, India-rubber-liko ball of the foro foot and tho inner toe, and passing it over the face and behind the ears, Tho foot is thus at the same time a face sponge and brush, and the rough tongue combs the rest of the body, Hares also use their feet to wash their faces, and tho hare's foot is so suitable for a brush that it is always used to ap ply the "paint" to the face for the stago.

One of the most charming pets we hayo kept, and the most particular as to wash ing and brushing its feet and fur, was a lovely, brown opossum from lasmanla, 'Sooty phalangist, was, we believe, its soientiflo name; it was covered with deep rich brown fur, had a face some thing like a fox, a pink nose, hands with a nailless thumb, and long claws on the fingers. It washed its feet every two or three minutes. Water rats are very clean animals and wash and brush their faces "like Christians." We saw one this summer on a pond at Welling, In Kent, swim out to pisk up the bios soms of an acacia tree which were falling on the water. After daintily eating each flower on the bank be licked his hands, wiped his mustaches and swam oiT for another. We also tried an acacia blossom, but except a slightly sweet flavor, could find noth ing to account for the rat's taste for them.

Sporting dogs which are used in mud, snow and wet. are strangely clever and quick in cleaning and drying their coats, and it is a sure sign that a dog has been over-tired if be shows any trace of mud or dirt next morning. Most of their toilot is done with the tongue, but they are very clever at using a thick box bush or the sido of a haystack as a rough towel. One small spaniel which tve allowed to live in the bouso was well aware that if he returned dirty ho would not be admitted in-Joors. About an hour before the closo of the day's shooting ho used to strike work and brgin to clean himself; and if urgi-d do more, would slip off home and present himself neat and clean in the dining-room.

Ono day the dog Lad been left at borne, and his master returned and seated himself, wet. and with half-frozen drops of leo sticking to his gaiters, by the fire. Pan ran up and carefully licked off the fronn ico and snow, stopping every now and then to give an anxious look, whicli said as plainly as possible: "Dear me, if I don't get him clean quickly, he will be sent to lie in the stable." Bow to Walk Cptair. Women doctors say, and many women prove it in prnotice, that by going upstairs slowly, with tho foot beel and ton alike put firmly on each atair, one may arrive at tho top of four flights of stairs really rested, instead of gitsping for breath, as when one runs upstairs. Going upstairs is a good form of exorcise one goes at it in tho right way to get its bviilfita.

The wise in tho business world have for many npos availed themselves of the science of advertising says the Washington Star. Ono of tt)o most ancient modes of attracting public patronage was by means pf public criers long before the ago of printing. Tho criers used to carry a horn with which to fix the attention of tho poopla when about to make a proclamation or publication, Thoy formed a well or ganized body in France as early as the twelfth century.

Under a chartor from Louis Vlt. they were entitled to a penny for oyory time they blew their horns, and could force themselves upon tavorn-koepers to cry their wares under a genr era! statute. They at a very early per iod formed themsoives into a cprpora-tion, and in 1258 obtained from Philip Augustus favorable statutes of the most tyrannical kind. In England the public, criers appear to have boon a National institution, at an early period, They cried all kinds of goods, and wero sworn to tell J'truly and. well to the best of ther ability and power." After awhile the bell-man or town crier was appointed for the benefit of th community at largo.

In, most of the country towns Of Great Britain, and even in tondon, there aro still bell-men and parl3h criers, though their offices are' little more than sinecures. The provincial crier's duties are of the most varied description, and relate to objects lost or found, sales by public auction or private weddings, christenings or uneraJs. But the hell-man as a means of advertising has seen his last days. Nearly threerquarters of a century ago in Eni gland wagons were driven through the streets surmqunted by revolving turrets. on which were painted flaming an nouncements of coming events, and men.

on horseback rode up and down thoprin cipal thoroughfares with great bill boards strapped on either side of them to attract public attention. The first regular newspaper, The Cer tain News of This Present Week, pub-, lished in London in 1622, contained no but in 1683 advertise ment3 appeared in something like he present form in the Mercurius Pohtious. Books were the articles earliest advertised. The rrreat plague in London brought forth the first medical adver- tisementSj In 1700 Addison, reviewing the advertisements of bis time, speaks of their "outs and figures." The Lon don Times, was established, in 1788, but did little to reduce advertising to a sys tem, but demonstrated its value and lm portan0e, Ihe first American daily idurnal. the Independent Gazette, of New York, 1787, in its second year con tained thirty-four advertisements, From that time on the growth of American advertising developed the fact that extensive advertising was a legitimate necessity to trade.

Tho other great metropolitan papers founded since 1S33 have greatly popularized advertising. A special featuro adopted about this time was "business notices" and "special notices," commanding high prices. Tho demand for systematic advertise ment became so great that about IMS tho first "advertising agency" in Amer ica was established. Tho business has so grown tnat now tor a single nrm advertise to tho amount of vear excites little surprise. But these agencies aro too slow for great modern bazars, who change their advertisements almost daily, They employ an adver tising expert as one of the personnel of their establishments, whose only duty it is to prepare advertisements for tho newspapers.

Besides the advertising agencies there are now "engraving com panies" devoted entirely to furnishing pictorial cuts for advertisements. Printer's ink," used as synonymous with advertising, has become recognized as an essential to sucoess in the commercial world. An advertising expert ranks as an artist and commands a corresponding salary. It is not merely in the enumeration of wares and good3 that he excels, but in the "fine line drawing" of seasonable hints and attractive suggestions. A RUSSIAN ROMANCE.

Widower ltfue to Ftrt with the Hotly of His Wife. A romantic Btory, strange if true, is published, says Gilignani, of a wealthy Russian gentleman living in bis own house on tho banks of the Seine, who, for the last ten years, has kept in a box a private room the embalmed body of his young wife, bhe was murdered a few days after marriage, and her sorrowing husband obtained the Czar's permission to tako her body away with him. The discovery was made by the prying propensities of the cook left in charge of tho house during tho tempo rary absence of her master. 1 hero is a curious sido to tho story, which, if true, will need explanation. IIow was it that police commissary, being informed of the discovery of a corpse in tho house of rich foreigner, should have left it there and simply written to tho owner tho liouiO for information? Those gr-mlemen do not generally he2.te about making even forcible entries into hoi- tn which tney even auspect there something they ought to know, see or tako possession of.

The law of France forbids absolutely the keeping of a dead body in any place but a cemetery. The Kiusian gentleman hopes to obtain special permission from high quarters to remain the custodian of his beloved relic not he threatens to leave tho country rather than part with it. To Make I'aper Transparent. The following method of making paper transparent for copying drawings hai been found very serviceable: Place blank sheet of paper over the drawing and rub it lightly with pure benzine. The tracing can then be readily made, and the benzine, upon evaporating, leaves the paper opaque a before.
