NOW WAX TAPERs ARE MADE.
Manufacture Of Night Candles and
Paraa1ned Paper.

Tho Manufacture Of Night Candies and
Paranned Paper.
In the manufacture OF wax matches
and the long and slender tapers which are
known Is rats dc eare cellar rats) the
method introduced into France by Pierre
Blesmiare in the middle Of the seventeenth
century Ia still in USE, say the Scientific
American.
The method is practised to-day in the
Carriere factory, at Bourg Ia RENE, near
Paris. The cords of which the wick IL
composed pass into a basin Of melted wax
heated by a amall furnace, from which they
are drawn through a perforated plate to q
large wooden drum which is turned slowly
by hand. The operation is repeated two
or three times, the size OF the hole through
which the cord passes being increased each
time. When the waxed cord has attained
the required size it is wound or large reels
in skeins Of 400 or 500 metres about 500
feet) which are boxed and shipped to whole
salers. It is also furnished in lengths Of
from 3 TO 10 metres 40 to 50 feet) folded
packing. These tapers are, now used
chiefly by wine merchants n by sections
in lighting church candles.
The very short and thick candles called
resiilsases, or night candles, are composed
moulding machine differs considerably from
the apparatus used for ordinary candles,
although the principle of the operation Is
unchanged. After tho little candles ave
cooled the attendant removes them from
the moulds and conveys them to women,
who put them into tin cups, which prevent
the escape OF melted wax during COM
bustion, and pass them to other women,
who label and pack them
Paraffined paper is made simply by draw
ing long rolls Of paper by means OF a series
Of cylinders through a steam heated trough
containing a solution Of parafine and steario
acid and thence to a largo wooden cylinder
on which it Is rolled.

The Lot or Arabian Babies.

FROM me BOSTON Herdtd.
The upper class Arabia baby has a
peculiarly dificult time Of 1t. II royal born,
its first toilet consists in winding a band
age about its body after 1t has been care
fully bathed and perfumed.
II the child be a girl, on the seventh day
after her birth holes. usually six In number,
are pricked in her ears. and when she Is two
months old, heavy gold rings are attached
to them to be worn throughout her lifetime,
except during periods of mourning for rela-
tives.
On the fortieth day the baby's head ls
sha we'd and the disposal Of the hair is re-
earded as a very mighty matter. 1t must
not be burned or carelessly thrown away,
but buried thrown into the sea or hidden
awsy., The fortieth day marks a turning
point In the child's life.
Heretofore 1t has been seen by few, but
now it comes out and may be seen by every
body. 1t Ia launched on the tide OF exist
ence. Several charms are attached to it's
little body for protection against the evil
eve. Everything the child uses is perfumed
and covered with amber and musk and
sprinkled with altar Of roses.

Sharks and balloon lists.

Ballooning on the Adriatic coasts has
dangers OF its own quite apart from the risk
Of drowning. The sea is stated to be infested
by sharks, and an aeronaut reaching the
water has small chance of living till rescue
reaches him.
No trace has yet been found of the bodies
of Capt. Nazari and Signor Minoletti, whose
balloon collapsed over tn" Adriatic a week
ago. and il Is feared that they, have been
devoured. From Ancona. another balloon
was on Friday seen floating toward the
Adriatic and showing colored lights as signals
OF distress. A torpedo boat went in the direc-
ton where the balloon was last seen, but
up to yesterday. evening there was no trace
eft her Of the balloon or its occupants.

Sares, N. D. A Reader
IF you have given your waist measure correctly,
that u.s. 30 inches should advise your wearing
set at once, it is out Of all proportion to your other
measurements, which are good. In the case of the
princess gown corset is absolute necessity, 1t
would be simply impossible to fit the figure without
it. Surprising your waist measure is given correctly,
then, after putting the corset, you could have
princess gown made to fit the figure by of
seams but If your waist is slg ht and proportionate,
you may adopt tucks shirrng. Any material may
form princess gown from calico to velvet. A good
princess model for stout figure is to make exactly
like welltting wrapper, then to add box pleat at
the neck either side center closing, and the
in the back bringing them taperng to the waist line
and spreading from there, only slightly, to the feet
The space between the pleats down the front may be
filed with contrasting material suggesting panel,

the left pleat.
