The Benign Witchery OF Candle Light,

There are so many women who have
passed their first youth who appear at
the balls in New York and receive the
devoted attention of men for whom
they must entertain a most grandmoth-
erly interest, that the question of light
has become a most important one, so
these foxy caterers to the female COM
plexion had taken a leaf out of French
books and lighted their rooms with can
dies, the silver candelabra being set in
the walls SO that the light falls from

colored candles. A side light, espe-
cialfyi il it is rose-tinted, takes ten q

are in favor of a%bolishing the deadly
electric lamps, and the flaming gas, if
wax candles are such thieves Of time

short human life, has far surpassed the
highest commercial glory ever attained
by the mighty CITY of the Doges.
Chicago was founded on trade. 1T hal
its beginning as a post where goods were
battered with Indians, at many times
their value, for the furs and pelts Of ami
mails. AS the red man began to recede
before the advance of civilization, it be-
came a distributing point Tor the necessa-
ingly as "exhaustless" as the East, from
which Venice drew her splendor, contin-
ued her support. Thus trade increased.
and with it came population, push, en-
elGY-anda great city was the result.
OF the institutions which have made
the Chicago of the past, and are prepar-
ing for the building of a still more glori-
GUS Chicago for the future. the Board of
Trade is entitled, perhaps, 10 the very
foremost mention
This is q theme of which, though mach
has been written, very little is probably
understood. This is not because the
subject is SO intricate, but for the reason,
probably, that SO much is taken for
granted, and passed by without explana-
ton.
TO write the history of the Board of
Trade would be to write the commercial
history of the Garden City. Suffice it to
saw that it had a beginning as small, in
comparison, as the "acorns" from which
the tall oaks, in the old defamation,
grew. "A membership, which costs now
several thousand dollars, was issued to
the charter members at the very modest
charge of So. From insignificant quar-
tiers it has risen by gradations until it oc-

The Board of Trade building stands on
Jackson street, and occupies half ablock.
1t is a majestic structure, rising to a vast
height, its zane being 335 feet above the
pavement, making the ten and twelve
story buildings in the neighborhood look
dwarfed in comparison. In connection
with the lower part of La Sale street,
which terminates at its granite front, this
building presents an appearance certain
ly as fine as any similar structure in
America.
