A WATER CANDLESTICK.

Clever Way of Making a Wick Burn Steadily and Withont Odor. In a tumbler filled with water a piece of a parffin candle is placed, after having been weighted by a nail stuck in the lower end to keep the candle floating. The advantage of this light is that it

burns steadily, being below the line of any draught, and when it is burned out it is extinguished by the water, leaving no smoke. As the candle burns down in the ordinary light it flickers and at last gives out an odor of burning grease, which is very unpleasant to the sick. The water glass candle-holder prevents all this.
