Sealing Wax

The Hindoos from time imnemcrial
have possessed lac and were Sccustom-
ed to use it for sealing manuscripts
long before it was known in Europe.
1t was first imported from the East
into Venice and tlTNi into Spain, III
which country sealing wax became the
object OF a considerable trade with
other countries under the name OF
Spanish wax. II shellac be compound
ed into sealing-wax Immediately after
it has been separated by fusion IRON
the palest qualities of stick or seed lac,
it thsn forms better and less brittle
article than when the shelac is fused
a second time. Hence sealing wax pre-
pared in the East Indies deserves a
preference over what can be made in
other countries, where the lac is not
indigenous. Shellac can be restored
in some degree however to plastic
and tenacious state by melting it with
a very small portion OF gum thus or
paraftin wax. The palest shellac should
be selected from bright-colored sealing
wax, the dark kind reserved for black.
The following formula may be used for
making red sealing-wax:-Take four
pounds OF shellac, one pound Of Ven
ice turpentine, and three pounds Of YER
million. Melt the lac in copper pan
suspended over a clear charcoal FIRE,
then add the vermilion, stirring briskly
all the time of mixing with rod in
either hand. In forming the round
sticks OF sealing-wax certain portion
OF the mass should be weighed while it
is ductile, divided into the desired num-
Der OF pieces, and then rolled out upon
a warm marble slab by means OF a
smooth wooden block like that used by
apothecaries for rolling a mass OF pills.
Tho oval and square sticks OF sealing
wax are cast In moulds with the above
compound in state OF fusion. The
marks OF the lines OF junction OF the
mould box may be afterwards remov-
ed by holding the sticks over a clear
FIRE Or passing them over blue gas
fame. Marbled sealing-wax is made by
mixing together two, three, or more
colored kinds while they are in semi
fluid state. From the viscidity OF the
several portions their incorporation is
left incomplete, so as to produce the
appearance OF marbling. Gold sealing
wax is made simply by adding gold
chrome instead of vermilion to the
melted resins. Wax may be scented by
introducing a little essential oil. es-
sencs of musk, or other perfums.

A DMIRAL. SCHLEY, one OF the fore
~ most notable heroes of the Nineteenth
Century. A name that starts terror in the heart
ofevery Spaniard, A man of steady nerve clear
head, undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opin.

the national catarrh remedy. Without the
slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his
endorsement. 1t appeared on later CONVEX
sation that Pcruna has been used in his fam
lily, where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that SO great and famous man
as Admiral Schley could have any other rea-
son for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.

There is wonderful charm and

are naturally gentle, but they command
obedience. and though they almost
idoize their sons they do not spoil
them. OF course there are exceptions,
but these only prove the rule,
AS for the girls, no respectable pa
rent would allow her daughter TO be in

terms men of training and capacity,
whereas only the wealthy American can
afford to take the office of ambassador and
maintain It in proper style. Some of the
American foreign representatives have
saved money from their salaries, but their
official establishments have been sordidly
reflective of the rigid economy of the gov
ernment.
The people of this country probably would
not desire their foreign representatives to
live in inadequate rented quarters. and to
skimp their salaries or lavish their own
funds merely for the sake of saving to the
ma tional purse few hundred thousand dol
lars. There Is no popular demand for
lavish expenditure or extravagant display
abroad. But there is growing feeling,
swelled by the observation of travellers,
that the time has come for Uncle Sam to
loosen his purse strings and to give his am
bassadors and ministers larger salaries and
to buy official residences for them which
will compare favorably with those of the
other diplomats. so that man of ability
can accept an appointment to the diplo-
matte service without depicting his own
funds or compromising his honest pride in
his country's prestige.

MI. Foraker's Tariff Question

Said Senator Foraker to a representative
OF The Star yesterday: Why should the
republican party be afraid to discuss the

ton? Why indeed, should the party which
stands accredited with the most helpful
tariff legislation the country has ever
known and still champions the principles
upon which that legislation is founded
cover and draw back at the bare mention
of the subject? Discussion from that quar-
ter does not menace business Merchants
and manufacturers do not at once begin
to take in sail through fear of a storm.
They well understand that no proposition
is submitted for tearing down the house.
Let us have at the regular session of Con-
gress a good, free talk about the conditions
that now exist and what should be done
about them. If it serves no immediate pur-
pose. it will help clear the atmosphere for
the Fifty-nintR Congress, when, as is gem

Buildings at WASHINGTON.

From the Indianapolis News
The project of erecting adequate and ar
chltecturaliy appropriate buildings for the
various departments Of the government at
Washington is one that is well worth the
serious consideration and ultimate apprOy-
al or Congress. The country is now in a
financial position to accomplish this work
and It's need can scarcely be denied by any
one. Permanent beauty of the national
capital is a thing to be desired by every
citizen, and long look into the future
should be taken when the plans of the pro-
posed buildings are considered. This has
been done in some cases, to be sure but
not In all. Now, in the strength and pros
perity of maturity when we are Just be-
ginning to realize, 1t is high time that we
were giving more thought to monuments
to our own dignity. Federal buildings are
something in which every citizen can feel
the pride of ownership. They are built
with his money. and. in effect, at his direc-
ton They are built for the uses of public
servants of whom he is a joint employer
They serve and beautify the nation of
which he is a sovereign resident and they
should be of n character that he can look
upon with the pride of civic triumph Sub
stantial permanence and artistic beauty,
together with the best utilitarian design,
should be the guiding principles in their
construction. We one of the greatest
and richest nations In the world, so let US
have government quarters that become our
place in the world.

Carren He sided with Tammany when
Hugh Mclaughlin rebelled. and as result
of the November victory he is now regarded
as Tammauy's man in Kings county. His

portance of which is to be appreciated
when we reflect that he is to help Leader
Murphy next year put things in shape for
the democratic national convention But
is the new man a diplomat, a harmonizer?
Not if the following extract from his
speech Is fair taste of mis- quality
There are some questions that have been
met and definitely solved There can no
longer be any doubt that the majority of
our people are determined to conduct their
financial affairs on the basis of the gold
standard. Nor can there be any question
that this country Is determined to retain
whatever territory il may have acquired by
conquest or purchase and to Undue 1T with
the American spirit
THE democratic party must accept these
issues as having been finally settled. and
turn it's attention to the consideration of
the questions upon which the people are
differing, and about which they will differ
untjl they are satisfactorily adjusted We
favoritism and official corruption We
must insist upon capital being fair and

but silver must remain within call. They

Panama Signs the Treaty.

The scene changes back to Washington.
Panama has signed, and the treaty is in a
special mail pouch on its way to Secretary
Hay In two weeks We shall have 1t with
us again. and then the President Will
promptly send it to the Senate for ratifca-
ton Waterman, tell us of the night; what
the signs of promise are. TT is well to
speak of the night, for, according to the
anti-imperialists, darkness has settled
upon the earth, and Satan himself is abroad
seeking the overthrow of liberty.
The treaty we are told is to be vigor-
uusly opposed In the Senate. For what
purposes? Will the opposition be homo
geneous and entirely sincere? VIII every
man who lifts his voice against the treaty
really desire its overthrow? How many
will be fired by a genuine hostility? How
many will play politics? How many, after
the terrible tussle is over. and they have
sunk back into their seats exhausted, with
vocabularies of objurgation and invective
worn to a fragile, will secretly thank
heaven that, after all their lambasting OF
the President the country is to get the
canal?
Why should any southern man vote
against ratification? The south wants the
canal and here 1t is. Shall we witness an
other of those curious spectacles which for
thirty years past have made the course OF
the south in Congress such a puzzle? She
has voted for free trade, when her best In
terests and her best business intelligence
called for protection. She got protection
and profited by it. but took it from those
she had fought tooth and nail. She has
been the sole hope and refuge of free sill
yer, when her own credit, along with that
Of the rest of the country, demanded sound
money. She got sound money, but took 1t
from a combination arrangement between
Grover Cleveland and the republican party
The former she has since held up to eX-
ecration. and the latter she fights at all
seasons.
Is this history to be repeated in a way
in the matter of the canal? Is the south's
opposition based upon the smirking con-
seriousness that she is going to get the
canal after all? She need not go broke as
to issues for next year. When other help
ers fail and comforts flee there is always
