SILVER AND cRvsrAL WARE.
New Consultation That Meets = LONG
Established Demand.

To combine SILVER and crystal In
single pieces has long been the desire
OF tbs woman who likes exquisite and
costly appointments for her table.
but the Idea has never before been
a really practical one for anything
except epergnes. This season. how
ever. the combination has been effect
ed and Il is possible now 10 supply
ones china and glass closet with
whole sets Of the most beautiful crys-
tai mounted on silver.
The champagne glasses are par
ucularly dainty and attractive. They
have a rock crystal bowl showing
some effective design OF flowers or
vines which can be adjusted into a
silver stem and base. This stem Is
wrought Of the metal and IL so pat
termed that at the top. where II Joins

like n half opened flower. into the
heart Of which the short crystal stem
slips. while the leaves Of the flower

The glass stem IL quite short, not
over half an inch or an inch. In the
smaller glasses II IL just long enough
TO allow the silver clasp to slip up and
fit close TO the bowl of the tumbler or

There is no dlficulty whatever in
washing these glasses. All one has
to do is to loosen the crystal part and

MYSTERY OF JOSS STICKS.

In all countries where Buddhist wor-

consumption Of loss sticks" These
ceremonial candles are lighted on &C.
caslons OF festivity or mourning,
prayer or thanksgiving to diviniIes.
and the like. Joss sticks are at once
candles and incense. since like the
latter. they burn without apparent
flame. Their preparation is shrouded
In some mystery and the process is
still practically unknown, those who
carry II on being chosen from a spe-
cial class and kept In rigorous seclu-
sion.
A squared strip o. bamboo, of vary.
ing length and thickness, according
to the size OF Joss stick that Is to be
made. is skillfully rolled on an in
clined surface. in mixture Of odorif-
erous powders agglutinated by resin.
made viscous by slight elevation OF
temperature. One OF the ends is left as
Il is, to serve as a handle. In some
cases the bamboo Is replaced with q
flexible rod which enables the joss
stick to be rolled In spiral form.
The composition of the odoriferous
powders varies with the country;
those used in Indo-Chlna come gener,
ally from the province OF Canton and
include IA different drugs. among
which may DO named oamphor. sandal
wood. aconite and Glove. Aconite plays
the part OF a preservative and protects
the joss sticks we'll against the at
