7. Concerning French weights, measures, and money, the following information will, doubtless, be useful:—The unit in weights is the gramme. 28 of which go to the English ounce; 1,000 grammes are called a kilogramme, or, shortened, a kilo., equal in weight to 2 lb. 3 oz. 4 drs. English avoirdupois. The unit in measures is the metre, equal in length to 39⅓ inches English. The metre is divided into 1,000 parts, each of which is called a millimetre; 10 millimetres are called a centimetre. The length of a centimetre is rather more than one-third of an inch English, the figure in decimals being 0·39371. One foot English is equal to 304 millimetres, and an inch equals rather more than 25 millimetres. The unit in money is the franc, equal to ninepence-halfpenny English. The franc is divided into one hundred parts, each of which is called a centime; five centimes are called a sou; and a sou is rather less in value than a half-penny.

17. There are (or used to be) silk nets made for the purpose, very strong and durable, and could be procured where the “trimmings” are usually sold. The crown of this net is left rather loose and threaded on a silk cord. The cord is held up, which gathers the loose meshes together, when it should all be fastened, and thus a caul net well fitting the head is formed.

33. Olive-oil (white Castile) soap, or almond oil soap is here intended. It should be moderately dry when weighed, next reduced to thin shavings, and then further desiccated by exposure to warm, dry air, but no artificial heat should be employed. By replacing a portion (say one-third) of the above with an equal weight of dry, white tallow soap (i.e., curd soap) the “lathering” quality of the essence will be increased.
