MAKING FANCY CANDLES.
The Materials Used in Modern Times.
Candles for tho Church Trade.
As the fashion for lighting up the bril¬
liant society devotees by curious and
beautiful wax candles in magnificent
candelabras and candlesticks is rapidly
increasing, the trade in these fine goods
is correspondingly—-increasing.......Up 1 .or- bulk to
the past six or seven £ears tlio of
fancy candles went to church organiza¬
tions solely. Now the fashion is to use
them at brilliant banquets, tasty small
dinners, at grand evening receptions, pict¬ so¬
ciety’s pet charity balls, tea parties,in
ure galleries, millionaire halls and stud¬
ies, in renowned artists’ studios, and on
the desks of grocery trade papers’ edi¬
tors. There are four times as many fan¬
cy candles sold now as there were three
years ago. modem
The materials used in this en¬
lightened age are mostly wax and a com¬
position of wax. The tallow dips of our
forefathers aro now sent to South Amer¬
ica, the West Indies, and a few to the
southwest. They, of course, lose their
rotundity in passing into tropic warmths,
and are therefore used by the natives
largely for lubricating the outer cuticle
of their bodies. Candles are a composi¬
tion, in detail, of paraffine, wax and
stearic acid. The latter is the solid con¬
stituent of tallow, wax is really beeswax,
refined by sun bleaching, and paraffine
is the residuum of petroleum from crude
oil.. With all other lines the advance¬
ment in the manufacture of candles is in
accord. The modern star candle or ad
amantine is a “thing of beauty and joy
forever”—or until snuffed out.
It has been found in the past that the
England, France and Germany hold tho
trade) but on man y other fancy lines the
American manufacturers are taking it
away from “over the water.” For up
wards of two and a quarter centuries a
London houso has had the lead abroad as
candle makere . Tho T6 ry latest styles
^ a t 0 nce sent to this country, and this
bouse has been largely instrumental in
revolutionizing the business here,
Vienna sends to this country fancy
candles, some of which are peculiar, called
teing made of “Ceresin,” also
“Ozokerite,” or natural earth wax.
Extra Hg candles are used also at Easter,
The large candles aro made for church
trado, but aro reldom made fancy. The

now cost $G0 per gross could hardly be
bought then at the same price per dozen.
In the coloring of fancy goods is an gut¬ or¬
dinary white candle is used, and
tered along the sides by machinery.
Then the colored wax is ran into gutters,
and the candle is afterward twisted by
machinery. It is then dipped and pol
ished. Analine dyes are now used in
coloring. f AH these changes, the use of
cbeape dye s tuffs, machinery, etc., have
tended to lower prices.—Grocery World.
Poverty in Montenegro.
Montenegro is already beginning to pay
the penalty of such civilization as it has
attained. Even in that little mountain
state the unemployed, pauperism and
emigration question and other like curses,
usually considered the peculiar property
of the most advanced peoples, are begin¬
ning to raise their heads. The prince and
his ministers will soon be face to face
with a grave internal difficulty, and the
cause assigned is that the harvest this year
has been a bad one. This is quite possible,
but' in the best of years there is little to
harvest in Montenegro except stones.
The cause is a far more deeply seated
one. When an entire nation finds its
only industry destroyed at a single blow
it must either starve or turn to new em¬
ployments. This is the care with Mon¬
tenegro. In the old days the quantity of
the harvest was a matter of indifference,
its deficiencies were easily supplied.
When food ran short in the principality nch
inhabitants made a raid on the
Turkish lowlands, carried off their neigh¬
bors’ produce and lifted the cattle. But
since Prince Nicholas, no donbt with the
best intentions in'tho world, has set to
work to civilize his mountaineers and to
turn the light of European pubhc.fy
upon them, these pleasant little hal*t3
have, perforce, become things of the
past. And as the Servians object very it
strongly to a Montenegrin emigration, which
is only too probable that the state
withstood all the forces of the sultan for
centuries will fail to pieces through in¬
ternal disturbances.—London Globe.

ART AMONG SAVAGES.
Tracings of the Cave Dwellers—Arctic
Tribes— On the Doango Coast.
Dr. Richard Andree, in reviewing the
art productions of savage tribes as shown
by their drawings, emphasizes the great
development which this talent can attain
in conjunction with a low state of psych
ical development. Travelers often men
tion the power of savages to rapidly
sketch characteristic figures, and among
the oldest relics of the cave dwellers we
find distinct tracings of animal forms.
As in so many other respects an analogy
is present between the drawings of prim
itivo men and of children. Figure
sketching (in outline) and ornamentation
are tho prominent characteristics of both,
while the power of landscape painting, as
well as a sense for natural beauty, is a
much later acquisition. Among the
forms drawn plants are seldom found;
what is full of motion and life—the
horse, etc.—first attracts attention, and
is transferred to bone, clay or stone. work
At times ornamental and figure
SO together, but , much ... oftener a dcvclop- , ,
ment of tbe Qne 0f otber a i one la p ossible.
The Maoris and Fiji islanders confine
themselves to ornaments, and seldom
draw a figure. Among the Australians
the development of ornamentation has
stopped at a certain stage—with recur¬
rent stereotyped forms of wedges, crosses
and “herring bone” patterns — while
scenes from their doings ai;o recorded
with much fidelity, and color is often
used to lend reality to the design. The
Bushmen excel in painting (though with¬
out perspective), and trace with great ac¬
curacy the scenes of daily life, of hunt¬
ing, warring, etc. As figure painting
allows of very various development, we
find different styles of conventionalism—
the art of ancient Peru is a notable ex¬
ample—in different tribes. Other peoples the
—and here the Arctic tribes stand in
first-rank—aim at a faithful representa¬
tion here: ornamentation finds no place,
and such subjects as fishing, sleighing,
etc., are the usual ones. The attempts
at human forms are often failures; but
the drawings of their most common ani¬
mals, as the reindeer, are sufficiently ex¬
act to serve as a means of zoological iden¬
tification.
Even tho humorous is found on the
primitive “canvas,” and especially Exaggera¬ among
the fun loving negro tribes.
tion of small peculiarities (as in children)
is the marked trait. The natives of Loango
coast carve in a spiral on elephant’s figures— tusks
a whole carnival of ridiculous
sailors, officers, savants, etc.
The material of the artist is very
various. Many cut and daub their uten¬
sils; the Peruvians decorate their
fabrics; the Australians draw on blacken¬
ed bark; the Africans carve in ivory.
The universal imitative bent, of which
the desks and walls of a schoolroom often
show striking evidence, appears in many
curious savage “art galleries.” On the
island of Depuch, off the northwest coast
of Australia, are found scratched on the
smooth rock a crowd of men, birds, fish,
crabs, bugs, etc., and colored black,white,
red, yellow and (seldom) blue. This
seems to have been a pastime of these
fishermen for generations. talent is thus quite

Tli® Reputation of Wealth*
Next to the possession of wealth in in¬
convenience is the reputation of having
it. A friend tells with a good deal of
drollery how he has suffered this summer
from the undeserved fame of fortune.
“You know,” he says, “that the X’s
went abroad in June, and they offered us
the use of their cottages at Wareview for
the summer. Of course wo were delighted,
and if I hadn’t made a mismovo in the
first place we should have had a beauti¬
ful time. Such a trifling thing, too. It
was only buying a dollar's worth of
postage stamps at the village postoffice, whole
but it came veiy near spoiling asked our
summer.” Of course ho was to ex¬
plain, and did so by saying that in a place
where people bought a single stamp for a
letter after the epistle was written, the
purchase of fifty stamps at once took on
all tho magnitude of a magnificent finan¬ from
cial transaction. regarded The purche.’wr <as* was of
that moment a vauu
enormous wealth. He was charged! ex¬
travagantly for everything, his steps wire
haunted by committees soliciting sub¬
scriptions for tho church and charity, and
he was, in a word, subjected to all the
annoyanco of being wealthy without the
satisfaction of having tho reality of which
this was the unpleasant shadow. “And
hereafter,” he concluded, “I shall never
buy more than a eingle stamp in the
country.” —Boston Cor. Providence
Journal.

UST SPRING’S WAR CLOUD.
How the Germans Mado Preparations to
Advance Immediately Upon France.
During last spring there was great ex
citement along the Franco-German bor
der over the arrest of Sclmaebole, tho
French commissioner. It was thought
at one lime that the irritation caused by
his arrest • would lead to actual war.
Many alarming reports were telegraphed
over the world at that time. But the
worst sensationalists in all of their exag
gcrations gave no picture which op
preached to the real situation along the
border. I have learned since coming
into this part of tho country of tho tre
mendous prcimrations mado by tho Ger
mans at that time to enter France. It
has never been published how near the
Germari army came to crossing tho bor
her. I have learned the story of a most
eventful night at Metz from the lips of a
private soldier, a German of more tiian
ordinary education and experience. Ho
told me this story at Bonn, where ho had
gone just after ho had finished his three
years’service. Ilo was in the neighbor*
hood of Metz all through the border
troubles of lust spring. IIo said that at
tho time of tho Schnaebele affair every
man in tho German army was given to
understand that war was inevitable,
Eacli man mado his preparations to suit

packed up and written homo ns a

German authorities to strike Franco, if at
all, without a word of warning, and to
thereby secure all tho advantage that
could be obtained by a swift, powerful
ant! unexpected movement of aggression
upou French territory, exciting
Upon one occasion of that
spring, late at night, there came a dis
patch from Berlin which placed the Ger- tho
man army on the frontier at onco on
qui vive. Every man was turned out, the
horses of the cavalry wore all saddled
and men placed at their heads. Fifty
thousand horses were saddled that night,
waiting a second dispatch from Berlin,
My military friend says that there were
then upon the border and within twenty
four bourn reach 200,000 German sol
diers. Fiflv thousand cavalrymen were
ready that nibht for a rapid imperial scurry hand across
the frontier. <If,tlie at

The Flotsam and Jetsam Mon.
Two men in a strongly built rowboat
and acting in n rather mysterious docks way
may bo seen almost, daily from the
of the livers. Olio man paddles along
slowly and the other stands in the stern
of the 1 oat, holding a repo which ho pulls
along very carefully. They glance con
stantly from side to side, and scan the
surface of tho water around them,
Tho men are in the flotsam and jetsam
business, and anything they can find,
from toll into a lost their piece treasury. of rope to At a corpse, tho end pays of
tho ropo which Ls held by the man in the
stern of the lioat is fixed a grapple, which
is dragged as gently as poefible along the
bottom of tho river. The grapple is
formed of two rows of hooks, one row
curved upward and tho Other so shaped
that it will not sink any distance into the
mud-whilo it is being hauled along. The
slightest object which the grapple touches,
from a piece of soggy wood to a ship s
cable, is instantly felt by tho man who
handles tho rope. Sometimes it happens
that a vessel loses an anchor with the
chain cable attached. It might not be
worth while for the vessel, either from
reason of delay or otherwise, the to lost erigygo arti
in tho work of recovering
cles. When the fact becomes known to
the flotsam nnd jetsam men they under
take for a fixed amount to find it. If tho
vessel ha* left port and there is no ono
elso to claim tho thing lost it becomes so
much more valuable to tho grnpplcrs.
Tlio value of finding a drowned body
depends, of course, on the status or the
deceased, or more correctly on the desire
of the friends of the deceased to recover
it- Even for the body of a homeless
tramp tho city, through tho coroner s
office, pays $2 for the find.—New York

other small vehicles are very - frequently dog
drawn cither by a dog alono or by a

from his chest; he goes to work cheer
fully, wagging his tail, nnd looking about
him like the intelligent, sympathetic
creature ho is; nnd of courso a word is
sufficient to guide him. There servant
dogs are mostly very affectionately
treated, atony rate in south Germany, and
seldom appear at all distressed. It is a

Bpe nt two months in exploring the grw

The four great races can be
resob. cl into two—tho long headed po<J

bended peoplo came from northern Ahiih
and, crossing Behring strait, continued
their way downward us far ns California, iaki
xj lcn they crossed to the great
went down the St. Lawrence,* made tin
way along the Atlantic const as far asti
a s North Crrolina, and spread tlit'mrehv..
int0 Ohio nnd Pennsylvania. There is
evidence that they resembled the peoplo
0 f northern Asia in face nnd form,
“The short headed people had thoehnr
uetcristics of the people of southern Asia,.
nm l resembled the Malay race. Tho firtis
t race8 Q f them we find in Peru and Cerf
tml America. From there they worked
toward tho north into Mexico, New
Mexico, Arizona, nnd following the rivers
which empty into the gulf of Mexico
no tably with tho Mississippi, long they mingled Ten¬ at
i M t the headed people in

aorbod by them. Tho Indian is a descen
dant of those two races." The speaker
then went on to describe tho mounds
built by these people. Ho told how tho
former method of digging a hole in the
center of tho mound, which was at first
practiced by explorers, ha* been method aban- of
doned for a more exhaustive
research. Professor ITifnam docs not
OX cavuto the mounds, but slices them off

mound lias been bid open to inspection, the
Ho described at length the uso of
mounds for burial, and said there ware
, n any ways in which the bodies mm
prepared for interment. Sometimes tb*
were cremated and sometime* idmpiy to*
j„ tho ground; sometimes a rough rt*n
tomb surrounded tlie bodies, sometime* A'
sort of log house work of timber,
‘-Besides the burial mounds, there are
other mounds, ’’ said (lie speaker. "That
