Secrets of savages.
EVEN very low types Of savages are able
to do many things which the modern
I-scientist cannot explain,and sometimes
TO beat the white man at his own game.
Servais lie Roy, a conjurer, on one occa-
sion took a trip up the Congo. His feats
of magic delighted the natives, and their
professional magiclans would frequently
show the greatest interest in his tricks. At
last. however, he met one who was more
than his match. This man took an ordi-
nary turnip and made Il change into
human face. How he did 1t the Belgian
conjurer has never succeeded in discov-
ering.
Some OF these African wizards profess
to be able TO turn themselves into lions or
other animals. and so travel vast distances
and find out the plans of their enemies. Be
this as Il may. IL Is quite certain that
these tribes have means OF finding out with
telegraphic rapidity occurrences at great
distances.

r ONsUL GENERAL GUENTHER, Il

- proprietor of a sausage factory in

GERMAN press and public. The defendant
was charged with violation Of the pure

In his defence other butchers and trade
experts testified that the use Of some Of
these substances was customary in sau-

ing attorney demanded that the accused
be sentenced to one years imprisonment
and five years loss of civil rights, but the
court imposed only fourteen days impris-

Candle Making.

! N reply to inquiries from manufactures
of candle moulding machinery In Cincin-
lnati, Consul General Roosevelt, of Brus-
/ sells, says that the use of candles is grad
Iually disappearing even In remote districts
Iof the country, where petroleum Is now In
very general use. In large towns and I'M
portant cities candles and petroleum have
been superseded by gas and electricity.
/ The condition of the industry Is not good
which Is principally attributed to the high
prices of raw material.
Although the use Of candles for domestic
Illuminating purposes is declining, there
still exist in Belgium three important man
ufactories.
Materials used there In the manufac-
ture of candles are stearin, stearic acld
and parafiin. Important quantities OF
church candles, short, medium and very
long, simple and decorated, are also manu-.
featured in Belgium, About nine-tenths OF
the general output Is exported. Thus II Is
shown that without the export trade the
manufacture of candles in Belgium would
be practically abandoned.
Candles are moulded by machinery. The
machines are of German, French and Eng
lish origin, the German made machine pre-
dominating. The capacity of machines In
use varies from, eighty to four hundred
moulds. Average daily production Is about
thirty-ive thousand pounds for each fac
tory.
The candle industry in the Venetian
provinces Is a comparatively important
one. The statistics for the port of Venice
show that the expectation exceeded the
Importation by about $4,000 In the calen-
dar year 1904. Large quantities are also
shipped to other parts of Italy, of which
there is no official record. Altogether the
field is a fair one for exploitation by manu-
facturers Of candle making machinery al
though IL is a fact that the rapidly extend
ing use of electricity, even in small VIII
lagos, correiatively reduces the more prim-
tive methods OF illumination.
The consumption of this article in Spain
is fairly large the principal use being for
domestic purposes coaches and churches.
Those for the latter are handmade and Of
pure wax. There is but one factory in the
district, located at Seville, using machinery
of French and German origin. The firm
declined to state the composition used in
the manufacture of its candles or the num-
Der of moulds to the several machines.

Bacon in Canada.
N oNsUL HARVEY, of Fort Erie on
the Canadian shore opposite Fh,fsaIo.
~ sheds some new light on the much dis,
eussed subject of American bacon in
canada giving the statement OF some live
stock men that Canadians often buy an
inferior grade of hogs that are rejected by
American packers, which may account for
part Of the general complaints against the
animals from the States. Canadian pack
ers. however, are particular about the ami
mails they kin for export, as Canada cured
bacon sells, the consul states, higher in
Great Britain than any other except the
Danish. American packers should also
note the statement that Canadian bacon
Is cured more than ours. which takes but
a few hours, while the Canadian process
takes days. American bacon sells lower
than the home product at Fort Erie after
paying two cents per pound duty.
No beef cattle are exported to the States
from this district. Beef retails three cents
higher per pound than in Buffalo. Among
farm products going to Buffalo are lambs,
calves. hides, live poultry and clover tim
othy and blue grass seed In considerable
quantity. For racing purposes 500 to 9OOI
American horses are sent here annually,
while 81 Canadian horses. valued at SIS, 675,
were exported from Fort Erie last wear
TO Buffalo and New York city. These latter
were coach, draught, driving and hunting
horses.
The largest article of export from that
district Is natural gas which is produced
In large quantities. Most of II Is piped to

Philosophy of Shaving.

CCEEW men, even after shaving them
selves for years, understand the
philosophy OF the thing" said a
New York physician the other day.
Inc use Of soap lather prior to shaving
the beard Is regarded merely as a means
OF facilitating the troublesome Operation.
soap Is said TO extract the oily matters
from the hair and thus to render IL brittle
so that the blade OF the razor saws through
Il easily, for, after all, shaving Is a deli
cate saving process. With sensitive skins,
OF course, soap OF good quality and
preferably free from alkaline excess, is
desirable
ION the other hand II might be thought
that an excess OF alkali would prepare the
beard more readily than a pure soap or
superfatted soap. The corrosive effect of
alkali. however, leaves no doubt as to
which description of soap should be used
Soap probably plays more important
role than that OF a saponiher Of the natural
Oh Of the hair. In spite Of the fact that
those who use the razor frequently cut
themselves. II is rarely that anything
more serious than cut follows, the slight
wound generally healing quickly, and the
risk of septicaemla arising In this way
would seem to be almost nil. In the ma
jOrity of cases Il Is clear that the razor
blade must be bacteriologically clean
which may be attributed to the fact that
probably il is dipped into hot or sterilized
water before use, or else that the soap
father Is antiseptlc. The latter explana-
ton seems the more probable of the two
The amount Of soap rubbed on the skin
Is considerable II the shaving Is to be in
any degree comfortable. and soap has con-
siderable antiseptie power, a six per cent
solution being sufficient 10 destroy the
typhoid bacillus. There can be little doubt
therefore. that the skin is rendered sterile
by the liberal application OF soap. and this
fact Is in favor Of any cut that may be
made remaining healthy. and without any
serious consequence. In a word, SOAP in
the operation OF shaving not only faclli-
able role, when the shaver Is unluclky
enough to cut himself, as does the antisep-
tic in surgery"
