For all practical p‘m‘poses they have come to be the equivalents of our "H.M.S." and “8.8.”, and in accordance with Japanese usage, come after instead of before the title of the vessel "Kan" is a Chinese word, meaning "war vessel," and is attached only to the ships of the Emperor's fleet; “mam” literally means “round,” and even a.

Marble sealing Wax is made by mixing together two, three, or more colored kinds While they are in a semi-fluid state. From the -viseidity of the several portions their incor- poration is left, incomplete, so as to produce the appearance of marbling. In forming the round sticks of sealing wax a certain portion of the mass should be Weighed While it is ductile, divided into the desired num- ber of pieces, and then rolled out upon a. warm marble slab by means of a smooth Wooden block like that used by apothecaries for rolling a mass of pills. The oval and square sticks of sealingr Wax are cast in molds with the oval compound in a. state of fusion. The marks of the lines of junction of the mould box may be afterwards removed by holdâ€" ing the sticks over a clear fire or passing them over a blue gas flame. Woman Found the Food ‘I‘hat Fitted Her. The following formula may be used for making red sealing waxzâ€" Take {our pounds of sheHac. one pound of 'VEnice turpentine, and three pounds 'of vernfilknL hIdt the lac in a cop- ‘per pan suspended over a dear char- coal fire, then add the turpentine slowly to it, and soon afterwards add the vermilion, stirring briskly all the thne of nfixing with a rod in enher hand. Hence sealing Wax prepared in the East Indies deserves a preference ovâ€" er What can be made in other coun- tries, where the lac is not indigenâ€" 1ous. Shellac can be restored in some degree however to a plastic and tenacious state by melting it with a very small portion of gum thus or parafin wax. The palest shellac should be selected for bright-colored sealing Wax, the dark kind being reâ€" served for black. ‘ The llindoos from time immemorial h'ave possessed lac and were accus- tomed to use it for sealing manu- scripts long before it was known in Europe. It Was first imported from the cast into Venice and then into Spain, in which country sealing wax became the object of a considerable trade with other countries under the name of Spanish Wax. If shellac be compounded into sealing wax imâ€" 1mediater after it, has been separated by fusion from the palest qualities of stick or seed lac, it then forms a better and less brittle article than when the. shellac is fused a second time.

A striking statement was made by Hon. Geo. A. Cox, President of the Canada. Life Assurance Company, at :that institution's annual meeting. He pointed out that. since the company's inception it has paid out to policy- holders and their heirs over $27,000,- 000.
