Candle Makinc In China.

Tie manufacture Of candleS IN
China is no new thing. Years b store
the advent Of the foreigner thas na-
tiTes made them By crude methods
and used them in home ind temple.
Even today millions Of candles are
made by the old process Of dipping,
at which the old Chinese are-.very ex-
pert. a mixture Of tallow and castor
oil is first prepared and the operator,
placing a straw to serve as wick
between each Of his ten fingers. dips
them into the preparation as many
times as necessary to give the candles
the desired thickness. After this they
are set up on end against board to
harden and the straw wicks clipped
to a proper length. The finished prod
uct burns well, gives a fair light, IS
consumed slowly, and, best of all, IN
native eyes, is very cheap. These can
dies are usually made by small fac
tories for sale to storekeepers, but
many individuals still manufacture
for family and temple use.

Oridjn OF "PIaoiarist."

One who appropriates- is, steals
the literary work Of another to use
it as his own thought, the child Of
his own brain, is guilty Of plagia-
rism, as everybody knows, yet few are
acquainted with the derivation Of the
word or know that the plagiarist is lit
orally child stealer. Among a cer7
tain class Of criminals in Rome in the
time Of the earlier Caesars, there eN-
listed the damnable custom Of stealing
children and selling them as slaves.
According to Roman law, the child
stealers, when detected, received as q
part Of the penalty for their crime, 4
severe fogging. AS the Latin word
playa signifies a stripe or lash. the
ancient kidnapers were termed ''pla-
giari'-that is, deserving Of stripes.
So both the crime and the criminals re-
ceived the,- names from the castiga--
ton inflicted. :

 About Killing Of New Haven Woman
Helen Williams Describes Shooting and Ruth Camp bell, Sister of Dead Wom- an. Identifies Clothing.

New Haven. Oct. 1.-The taking of testimony in the trial of Andrea Tam ganelh, charged with the murder of Mrs. Norman Clark, known also as Mrs. Mamie Davis. on the night of September 5, began yesterday after noon in the criminal Superior court.
 Dr. H. A. Reynolds, of the New Ha- ven hospital, testified as to the con- dition of the woman's body when it finally reached the hospital. There was only one bullet and that reached organs so as to create an in ternal hemorrhage which caused death very speedily.
 Vim. F. Seelye and Cyrus E. Wheel CT were witnesses of the shooting and told of seeing the prisoner follow the woman.
 Thomas Smith, a lineman, said he saw the woman go into the Gibbons house on George street before the shooting with two men. There was a man following the party. He was act ing strangely and he threw his hat down in the street.
 Ruth Campbell of Bridgeport, a sis ter of the dead woman, identified hat and outer garment as that worn at the time of the shooting as articles If wearing apparel belonging to her sister.
 Helen H. Williams of 107 Temple street, was one of the States best wit nesses regarding the shooting. She said she was looking out of a window and saw a man follow and shoot the woman, saw her fall and saw the mans attempt to run. Then he was caught and thrown down by a man who seized his pistol and beat him about the head. Then a policeman Officer William Wrinn) came and the was led away. She did not identify the prisoner as the man who did the shooting
 The shooter fired three shots, she said The first was toward the ground, the second he aimed at the body, and the third at her skirt. Then he ran down the street and she reiterated he was finally grabged from hehind hv mon, whs-s
