For the general good, nnd to preserve

were subdivided into convenient squads,

T|ie above literature belongs to an age
that Is past, hut the old boys and girls
of today can easily recall, tho dialogue
and announcement as part of the house
hold conversation of thirty or forty years
ago,, when the candle was not only the
light of the family but its oracle ns well.
This was before tho age of petroleum and
in tho infancy of gna when ■‘bougliten"
candles of tallow or sperm were used for
company, nnd the tallow dip was tho
every day luminary.
Candle making v.'ns one of the indus
trial branches of housekeeping in those
days. A cuke of tallow, made from fat
rendered in tlio house, nnd a bail of wick-
ing, purchased at the general dry goods
store, furnished capital for tho invest
ment. Then a set of molds, bought of a
tin peddler—such as Jim Fisk used to sell
from his wagon—and tlio work began.
Tlio youngsters of the family were usually
chosen for this. Thoy liked it. It wus
eider than churning, nnd they had con
siderable pride in pulling handsome can
dles, anil there was just enough peril in
' it interesting.
tho undertaking to make
If the tallow was not just right, or the
molds not prepared well, or the candles
not properly cooled, they “acted." Some
times, indeed, they seemed possessed.
This was when the six long wicks pulled
out, leaving tlio tallow in the molds to
bu melted put nnil run over again. But
if nil went right, niul six elegant candles
were pulled, tliere was joy In the house
hold. The nearer they camo to tho
“bougliten" urtlolo in appearance and
worth, tho prouder the domestio candlo
maker.
There was al io n test In tho burning.
They must pot “sputter" nor “gutter."
A certain aniqhnt of beeswax would pre
vent this. They must not burn extrava
gantly or to olio side, nor ho greasy to tho
touch. And they must have preserva
tive qualities mni “keep" wait There
was economy in thoiq days in burning
candles, which extended to tho way in
which they were smilfed. A family of
any pretensions always had several sots
of snuffers. A silver tray nnd snuffers
.was .usually nn heirloom. A brass set,
kept in n high statu of polish, was used
In tho parlor every night, tlio silver ones
being kept sacred to company. Usually
a rickety snuffer without any tray did
duty In tho birchen. Ill many homes tho
fingers did all the snuffing. They hecqmo
so hardened to it that no matter how'liot
l* pinch they took, there was no bad ef
fect.
Wo can afford now to smile at the
economy of light in those days, when wo
hud to light ono candlo tosoo if the Other
was burning. Two candles meant bom-'
pony, throe a crowd, six nil illumination.
All tho corners of tho room were in
shadows in those good old days, when
spooks and goblins were within,easy
roach., After all there was the glow of
tho fireplace, with its fitful shadows.
\Ve have lost that with the lesser light.
The odds and ,ends of candles wore set
up to bum on tlio altar of the kitchen,
and on Saturday nights to light the hired
d boy to bod.
hand or tho hound boy to bod. Other
nights thoy went to bed in tho dark.
Tho tallow dip was an nttenupted ob
ject that tormented the family like a
poor relation. A lot of wicks wore strung
together on a rod, the tallow was melted
and served in a tub of water. Into this
tlio wicks were dippod every little while,
then hung across the tub till they cooled
sufficiently to receive another "dip."
When finished they look like the skele
tons of candles oaten by rats. They
flared and guttered nnd made horrible
shadows, but wore accepted os light.
Lessons in candlo deportment were
given in tlioso days. It may seem an
easy tiling to snuff a candlo; so it is—to
snuff it out. But to snuff it gracefully
and easily, using only ono hand,, and not
obscuring the light a moment, is a work
of art, Blowing the candlo out was also
deprecated by tho old timers. It was
either snuffed out or extinguished by a
metal nlglit cap, which is usually fast to
tho handle of the bedroom candlestick.
Tiie ease with which a candle went out
when a door was opened or a draught
struok it was almost phenomenal. And
it was equally hard to relight it. Do you
remember taking up n coal in tlio tongs
nnd blowing until you resembled n heav
enly cherub trying to corix tho smoking
wick liack to a liloze? It was n common
experience.—Detroit Free Pve3s.

has presented to tho Grand lodge
library a ponion of tho collar worn hy
Abmlmni Lincoln nt (ho time of Ids as
sassination. Mr. Vnn Duzer was present
at Ford’s theatre on that fntal night, and
relates the following incident:
Tlio army tinder Gen. Lee having sur
rendered to Gen. Grant a few days pre
viously, Secretary Stanton, on tho 18th
of April, 1803, telegraphed to Governor
John A. Dix to stop tho draft, as it was
considered that tho war was virtually
over.
At Ford’s theatre, Washington, on the
evening of April 14. 1803, tho play of
“Our American Cousin" was being
enacted. In tho scene just before tho
fatal shot of tho assassin, a garden settee
was standing on the stage opposite the
president’s box. Mtuy Meredith (one of
the characters of tin* play), followed by
Lord Dundreary (with her sliaivl thrown
ever liis arm), came upon tlio stage, nnd
the lady took a seat upon tlio settee.
Glancing over first one shoulder and then
the other, she exclaimed:
“My lord, will you please be so kind as
to throw that shawl over my shoulders 1
There appears to be such a draft here."
Lord Dundreary immediately replied:
“You are mistaken, Miss Mary, there
is no draft. Tlio draft is all over. ”
The president instantly saw the point
and laughed very heartily, as did tho
entire audience, who arose’ and cheered.
In a few moments more the assassin had
done liis work and a nation was hi tears.

Trapnwtnre of Food and Drink.
Professor Uffclmann, of Rcistock, pub
lishes his conclusions, drawn from ex-
per! mental researches by himself and
others, on the effects of rood and drink
at different temperatures. In brief,
these ore: 1. A temperature of food and
drink which ■ approaches (hat of the
blood is most healthful. For nurslings
such temperature ' is essential, 2. For
quenching tlm thirst the best.tempera
ture is from B0 to 08 degs. Farenheit. 8.'
Very'n.t or very oold fond or drink in
henlui lias a damaging effect, which Is
increased just in proportion to the rapid
ity with which the hot or cold substance
is taken. 4. The upo of very hot and
cold sulistances, following or alternating,
is injurious to the teeth. Bnt the taking
of cold water lessens tlio injurious action
of extremely hot substances upon the
stomach. S. Cold food and drink lessen
the bodily temperature, whether it be
normal or febrile. 0. Cold fluids lessen
tiie irritability, and raise the tone of the
stomach. T. Hot food and drinks stim
ulate tiie stomach more than cold. But
after repeated use they lessen the tone of
the digestive tract and cause congestion
and dyspepsln. Tills condition lias been
observed After the so called “hot water
euro.” Hot drinks tend to lessen bron
chial irritation, ntld this 1b one cause,
possibly, of tiie success iu some cases of
the hot wntcr treatment of consumption.

Magnetism is assuming the same rule
with the watch repairer that malaria
plays in medical practice—i. e M as a
cover for ignorance. When you take
your watch back to tho man you have
just paid for cleauing it with the state*
ment that it gains or loses five minutes
a day and generally doesn’t mind its
helm, he looks wiso, says it has been
magnetized, and charges you another and
a bigger fee for removing the “hoodoo.”
Almost any one can demagnetize his
own watch. Lay it down on a table,
with open dial face upward, and make a
diagram of tho polarity (whether north
or south) at each hour number ou the
dial, and whether weak or strong—this
by moans of a small pocket compass or
needle, remembering that the north pole
of tho compass is repelled by-the north
polo in tho watch and attracted by the
south pole,- and vico versa. Toko the
point of tiie strongest magnetism, first
and wave sovoral times at a short dis
tance in front of each pole tho liko polo
of a small bar magnet. This will tend
to neutralize the first polarity by induc
tion of nn opposite ono, and thus by a
littlo practice first ono point of magnet
ism in the watch after another may bo
neutralized, usivg tlio compass each ti.no

Paul Broca’s discovery that tho brain
is a congeries of organs, each having its
special function, is being confirmed by
later researches? Professor Mathias Duval
has had tile opportunity of determining
—by the post mortem examination of
eleven persons who, during life, had boon
accidentally deprived of the faculty of
speech or the memory of words or certain
letters of the nlpliabet—that tho faculties
of speech and memory of words reside in
tiie second mid third convolutions of the
brain. In each case examined there had
been injury or disease of these convolu
tions, destroying their functions. Com
paring Gambtftta's brain with that of the
into Dr. Bortillon, nn eminent statistician,
Duval uiid Chudzinsky found that in the
brain of tiie former tho third or "Broca’s
convolution"—ns thespeecli center is now
called—is extremely developed, while in
Bertillon’s it is reduced to its most simple
expression. Gambetta was active nnd
loquacious; Bortillon reticent and retir

men were diametrically opposite, nnd
