This Is used for keeping substances
which contain either a volatile aromatic
ingredient or grease. which would pen.

fat sheet of copper over a gentle fire
place a sheet Of paper as base and
then lay a second sheet on the top OF
the first. Coat this second sheet with
yellow or white wax and distribute the
latter uniformly over the entire sheet
by means Of a sponge. exerting lit
tie pressure, till the paper Is every.
where transparent and consequently
permeated by the wax. If the fire is
too feeble, the process will be retard-
ed. Too powerful a fame is still more
harmful, as the paper Is liable to be-
come brown or black. Stearin may be
used instead Of wax.-Der Industriose

NAP0LEON'S HABITS.
The Great Warrior Was Fond Of Per-
- funfe and Clean Linen.

The Great Warrior Was Fond Of Per-
funfe and Clean Linen.
It is pleasant to learn If one has Ma.
poleon l. on the hero list that he had
very dainty habits In personal mat
tiers; that he was fastidiously clean In
his person. according to an article in a
French contemporary, and poured eau
de cologne into the water he washed
in, then sponged his head with per-
fume and finally poured the remainder
Of the contents Of the flask over his
neck and shoulders. BE was also ex-
travagantly fond Of clean linen and
during his campaigns had relays Of 1t
sent to different places. In those days
It did not cost farm to have starched
things laundered. for, in account with
a famous laundress in Paris, the en-
peror's linen for one wash amounted to
3S6 pieces and cost only trife over
$50.
This strikes an American as very
reasonable, but his majesty never wore
any article but once, and, as he always
undressed himself without aid from
his valet bis garments were literally
cast to the four corners Of the room.
Napoleon's bill for eau de cologne,
however, exceeded the washerwoman's
by a large majority. 1t Is relief to
learn that the Little Corporal was 80
much dude. Some Of his predecessors
In the Tuileries were not blessed with
such excellent habits II history Is to be
relied upon.
