Browning Wax Work the Latest Winter
Amusement for Ladies'.
Browning wax work is a very pleas
ant work, as well as pleasing to the
eye. and if well done hard to detect
from the real article. We will begin
FIRST with vase to be done in copper
bronze. First the vase must be
moulded. The casting material one
par. wax, one part spermaceti. two
parts mutton tallow; melt the three in
gradients together and color with burnt
lumber. Have a coil of fine hair wire,
cut it into one-haf inch pieces; when
the mixture is melted to the consistency
of thick cream stir in the cut wire BY
degrees until there is q sprinkling of it
through the mixture. then pour into tho
elastic mold and let stand until per-
fectly cold and solid, then loosen the
sections of the mold aud take out;
should any Of the ends Of the wire pro-
ject they can be cut with sharp SCISSORS
(the wire makes the vase stronger and
prevents it from cracking) Trim the
seams caused by the sections Of the
mold, then take piece of soft flannel
cloth. dip it into refined spirits of tur-
pentine and polish the vase with it,
after which it is ready for bronzing.
Take copper bronze No. 1000, and
with the tinting brush (camel hair)
bronze the vase evenly and polish it
with q soft piece of white silk. Next
take another brush and with copper
bronze No. 5000 give it the last coat.
The vase is now ready for draping.
The most simple is an ivy vine. Take
an embossed ivy leaf. lay a fine wire
along its mid-rib, leaving two or three
inches of wire for the stem; cover the
leaf with brown sheet-wax, press them
together well with the thumb and finger
10 make the wax adhere to the leaf. get
the impression. and hold the wire firmly:
then lay another piece of wax ON the
under side, press the edges together and
cut away the superAuous wax, leaving
the edge plain. cover the wire stem
with wax and the leaf is ready for
bronzing. Bronze the same way You do
the vase. When all the leaves are fin
shed weave them into a spray. grading
them from large to small until the end
1f the vine is reached. then bronze and
1rape around the vase in an easy nat
aral way.-Detroa Post.

AN INsULAR BARON.
How Samuel Goment Has Grown Rich
n Deserted Land

How Samuel Cement Has Grown Rich In
n Deserted Land.
On Great Maccatina, Alaska, where
Joliet once had a sealing establishment,
lives Samuel Cement, who, besides his
family, consisting of wife and one or
two brothers, is the only inhabtant. He
was born on the island; has lived there
forty years without yearning for other
habitation and has grown rich in catch
ing seals-caught 5000 the last spring;
net profit to him of that achievement
something like $4,000. which is pretty
well for a place where one would imagine
nothing could be expended. This,
however, as Mr.. Cement assured us, is
not the case, as trading boats visit the
island during the open season, laden
with all sorts of seductive wares. In
MIR. Goment's hospitable cellar are ex-
cellent brands of Macon, Vieux and
Rumart; and he lives here like an in
sular baron, though without retainers
or retinue, getting tribute and revenue
from the annually recurring seal. He
is well-to-do, contented and happy, sees
little of the outside world, getting in
termittent glimpses of it through the
fortnightly visit of the Government
mail boat, the Otter, whose black smoke

and through the occasional visits Of
fishing schOoners from Newfoundland
and the Magdalens. such as now lie at
