A new article called "the Sparks waxed
paper bag is now being extensively intro
duced, and is noticeable for its novel quail
ties. The exterior is like any paper bag, but
the interior surface is lined with thin film
of fine parafiine wax, which renders the bag
substantially air tight and water proof. The
cost is but trifle more than the common
paper bag.
Tobacco, snuff, cigars, etc, put up in these
bags are preserved in perfect condition, dry
ing and loss of aroma being prevented In
like manner confectionery, fruit and other
eatables are kept intact, wholesome and
fresh. As these bags may be made trans
lucent they render the package attractive
and this adds desirable selling quality, in
dependent of other merits Druggists Use
them for enveioping all kinds Of prepare
tons, grocers find them very desirable in
preserving in fresh condition coffee, tea, dried
beef hams, cheese, sugar and other foods.
The difference between two packages of
coffee, one put up in the ordinary paper bag
and the other in Sparks waXud paper bag
is very striking. A pound of coffee in or,li
nary paper, when brought into room or
car, is scented by everybody at once; but if
the waxed paper bag is used the contents can
not be detected there is no escape of aroma,
the preservation is complete. These waxed
paper bags are also found TO be Of superior
value for wheat, -four, buckwheat, oatmeal,
Indian meal, etc The contents are kept
fresh, and access of moisture or other con
tamination is prevented. For packing ce
ment, fertilizers, etc, the bags are also
useful.
Furs stored in these bags with the smallest
quantity of camphor or other insecticide are
rendered moth proof Valuable clothing
may, in like manner. be conveniently pre-
served.-Scientific American

graces the western landscape as has been
remarked by tourists, ali right enough, but
