CANDLE MAKING IN SWEDEN.

Some Are Made From stearin That Is OBJ
tanned From Insects.
w. S. Harwood has an article III
St. Nicholas on "A Giant Candle,
describing one of the unique fea-
lures at the Stockholm exposition.
Concerning candle making in Swe-
den, Mir. Harwood writes:
The candles OF Sweden are not
dipped" in the old fashioned way,
but are made iii what might be call
ed scientific principles, after the ex-
perience of a good many centuries
has told the makers just what ma
terials will produce the best results.
They are not "run'' in hand held
molds, at the risk of burning some
body's fingers or spotting the kitch-
en- floor with splashes of tallow.
Tallow in it's crude state is, indeed,
used in the manufacture of these
Swedish candles, but it must pass
through long treatment before it
yields up the pure stearin from
which the snowy candles are made.
Some of this tallow reaches Swe-
den after long ship journeyings from
South America, while some Of the
stearin does not come from tallow
at all, but from palm oil gathered
by the natives of South Africa, and
still another supply of stearin is Sc
cured in a curious way-from in
sects shipped from China. The in
sets, in dying, turn into wax very
rich in stearin.
When the stearin is ready for the
mixing, it is nearly pure white in
color, clear liquid that has the hue
and consistency of melted white
sugar. In the, factory the attend:
ants fill their large, wide Tipped zinc
pitchers with the liquid stearin, step
to a long row of candle molds, and
pour in the melted stearin. The
molds are in sections, IL candles to
a section OF the smaller sized can.
dies. The wicks for the candles
have first been twisted from threads
into the proper size and threaded
through the molds by machinery.
AS soon as the stearin has cooled
around the wicks a keen knife passes
under and cuts the ends. Of the
wicks, the candles in the section are.
lifted out and another set of wicks,
all threaded through another set Of
molds, stands ready for the next
pouring. Swiftly breaking the can.

I watched a young woman who
was at work one day in a factory in
Sweden (and the factory, by the
way, was located in the candlestick

candles-a small kind it happened
to be that they then were making,
perhaps five inches in length. With.
deftness which was quite extraor-.

Merritt for Expansion.

Some weeks ago-say about the time
when protocols were ripe-there was an
impression abroad that Major General
Wesley Merritt, commanding the land
forces at Manila, was personally op-
posed to the policy of national expan-
sion, and could be depended upon TO
favor the Edmunds-Irelandi idea, of re-
storing the Philippines TO Spain. AS
early as the time referred TO, it was also
understood that Admiral Dewey, who
was supposed to know more about the
Philippine question, in all its relations,
than any other American, unfortunate
ly was SO well informed as 10 be an
urgent advocate of teetotal retention.
Accordingly, the public took it as the
most natural thing in the world, that
Merritt and not Dewey should be sent
to Paris, TO advise the American Peace
Commissioners concerning matters and
things in the archipelago. 1t will.
therefore, be a pleasant surprise to the
country TO learn that serious mistake
has been made, and that, far from be-
ing friendly to the idea of surrendering
the richest fruits of the war to the
enemy, the gallant general is a friend
of the American expansion policy. This
encouraging fact is made quite ap-
parent in an interview with him, had
upon the occasion of his arrival at
Marseilles.
General Merritt IS reported as saying
that the scheme of a joint government
of the Philippines by the United States
and Spain, which had been suggested,
was not at all feasible; that the foreign
commercial interests of the islands
were unanimous for annexation; and
that there would be no trouble with the
natives, once they were convinced that
their old tyrant would be excluded
their future.
One view expressed by the general is
of particular interest. He said that he
considered the leaders of the Filipinos
as better equipped in point of intelli-
gence and training, for the privileges
and responsibilities of self government.
than the average of the Cuban leaders
are. This opinion is especially encour-
aging. The Filipino leaders do not diff
fer from their followers in any essential
respect, except that they have enjoyed
better opportunities for education and
contact with civilization. Hence 1t
| seems reasonable to assume that 1t
would be only necessary to give the
masses of the race in the islands. the
advantages of schools, and immunity
from the robbery and persecution of
the past in order to fit them also, for
condition of citizenship at no very
distant day.
One by one the ghosts and affrights
that have been raised iIt the hope of
soaring the American people into sur
rendering our imperial Eastern terri
| tory, are driven back to the shades by
the bell, book, and candle of fact, COM

and exclusive possession of the Philip

The treatment Of lunacs -vutinues 70 offer
growing burden TO the taxpayers of the United
KingdoTn The ifty-secOud report OF the CON-
missioners in lunacy. addressed TO the Lerd chan
ceIlor. which has Just been issued, shows that on
January / oi this year there was an increase OF
29l9 reported at the beginning of the preceding
year.
Examination of the statistical tables diseloses
that the increase Is entirely under the head Of
insane persons Of the pauper class. and that they
are treated in the public asylum maintained by
the county and borough authorities
The rise in the number Of lunatics so treated
has gone on for some years; during the last ten
wears the average annual addition TO the army
of insane persons was 1873
At first sight it might be thought that lunaey
is startlingly spreading among the population
The fact however, seems TO be that Of late years
there has been tendency TO send TO aSyiuns FOR
careful treatment many cases which formerly
would have been retained at home or IN the work-
houses and for example persons upon whom old
age has brought dementia now become inmates
of lunatie asylums.

The experience of the Fourth New Jer-

is evidence of the present indisposition
of young Americans TO enter the service.
For some strange reason they seem un-
willing TO enlist under the banner of
Algerism. Why they refuse so tempting
an opportunity, the records do not tell
us. But a shrewd guess would be that
they are afraid of contracting the vice
