Tuesday morning. Then the new
cook leaves on Thursday evening and
the newest cook arrives on Friday,
and so On, world without end.
Friend wife decided she could dip a

Now she could get out into the sun

One proof of their value is the fact

that previous to the invention of the
Argand burner, in 1884. lamps had en-.
tirely fallen out of use, a glance at the
prints OF that period being sufficient
to convince one that candles seigned
supreme not only In the houses OF
the people. but In the churches and In
all other places of public assembly.
In such places there was an official
whose sole duty it was to pass round
armed with pair of snuffers and an
extinguisher on the end of a long
stick, attending to the requirements
OF such of his f1aring rods of tallow or
wax as needed his attention.
Candle-making at that time also
formed part of the education OF
