CANDLE MAKING IN SWEDEN.

Some Are Made From Stearin That Is OBJ
tanned From Insects.
w. S. HARDWOOD has an article in
; St. Nicholas Oh "A Giant Candle,
describing one of the unique fea-
lures at the Stockholm exposition.
Concerning candle making in Swe-
den, Mr.. HARDWOOD writes:
The candles of Sweden are not
dipped in the old fashioned way.
but ARE made on 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-
tn floor with splashes of tallow.
Tallow in its crude state is, indeed,
used in the manufacture of these
Swedish candles, but it must pass
through a long treatment before it
yields up the pure stearin from
which the snowy candles L 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 a wax very
rich in stearin.
When the stearin is ready for the
mixing, it is nearly pure white i'll
color, a 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
Il section of the smaller sized can
dies. The wioks 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
dies apart. the attendant passes
them on in 6 box to another work
woman. who sends them whizzing
through a trimming and polishing
machine, from which they go TO the
counting table.
watched a young oma who
was at work one day in a factory in
Sweden (and the factory, by the
way, was located in the candlestick
of the giant candle), counting these
candles-a small kind it happened
to be that they then were making,
perhaps five inches in length. With
a dizziness which was quite extraor-
binary she thrust her hands into a
pile of candles and unerringly drew
forth 24-never more, never less.
All day long she stands at this coun-
ter and not once in a thousand times,

TRUE TO HIS FIRST LOVE.
She Could Not Marry Him, But He
Kept Her Image Ever
Before Him.

The heroine of this tale, who was
young some 20 years or more ago, was
the daughter of a wealthy man, who
desired her, true story-book fashion,
to make brilliant marriage. The
daughter, equally in story-book fash
ion, had given her heart to a poor
but worthy young man, and the
father refused to give his consent to
their union. The daughter would not
marry the man against her fathers
will, but promised her lover that she
would at least marry no one else.
Time passed, and at intervals the
young man renewed his suit, but al
ways received the same answer; the
girl loved him, but she would not mar
~ without her fathers consent and
leave him alone.
In the meantime the man had gone
to Canada and made some money. He
was still faithful to his old love, and
after acquiring considerable fortune
he returned yet again tc urge his lady
love to go back with him, but without
avail. Finally there came a last APP
peal. He wrote that he was growing
old; he felt that he needed a home.
He declared his love again, but said
that if his old sweetheart would not
marry him now he must marry anoth-
er woman. Again he was refused and
this time he married
By correspondence the wife and the
old love were made acquainted, and
became on paper very good friends.
Then the woman in America felt de-
sire to visit her one-time lover and
made the trip to Canada and was
warmly welcomed. The house was
attractive and everything about it was
pleasant, but what was the surprise
of the visitor to see hanging in a con-
spicuous place on the walls of one of
the principal rooms, her own por-
trait-N. Y. Times.

The doctor praised her and lost no

about her work. They shook their
heads in an awe-struck way and
lowed nobody 'ud ever "a thought

offered to help her, and the doctor be-
gan to feel that nothing could tire
her; SO between them she was killed.
Nobody ever called it just that. They
lowed she'd worked pretty hard an
got run down, so the fever got hard
hold on her" When she was buried
the people came from all around to the
funeral, but none went near the body;
they were afraid of contagion. They
spoke of her regretfully, though, and
agreed that if she had lived she might
have amounted to mething, although
she was Misery McVicker. But their
good or bad opinion was nothing to
her now. She had gone to her mother
and the baby, who had never asked
whether she amounted to anything or
not, but had loved her because she
was Misery. = Lippincott's Monthly

BECAUSE HE WAS BALD.
A Landlady Who Was Particular
About the Appearance of
Her LOdgers.

Not often is badness advanced as
reason for refusing a room to LOGGER.
One would have thought that loss of
hair implied such promise of quietness
and sobriety of conduct as to have
served almost as a recommendation to
a landlady. This may DE so with some,
but evidently there are others. The
latter apparently included Mrs. Hayes,
who sued a Mr.. Myall for ~ shillings
rent alleged to be due. The defendant,
however, said he had no cause to paw.

he was asked to leave. The plaintiff

having dinner together, and when she
saw the newcomers badness she de-
termined that she would serve him his

trouble by taking himself off. His

LEFT HIM ON THE FIELD.

They marched along the crowded street
With faces brown and worn:
The flag that Ger them waved its folds
Was shell and bullet torn.
What of my boy?" mother cried!
A soldier marching by
Turned quickly when he heard the CALL
And caught that mother eye.
What of your boy? He was a man
The kind that does not yield.
He fell in Santiago's fight,
We left him on the field"
1--WE left him on the field,
Where Spanish foemen reeled
He died beneath his country's flag
We left him on the field"
1--WE left him on that bloody field
Beneath the tropic sun,
And many gallant boy lay there
Before the day was done.
We rushed their trenches, one by one,
While bullets came like hail;
Full many a brave lad bit the dust;
But never one did quail.
'Gainst Spanish blood and Spanish guile
Our hands and hearts were steeled-
Your boy did all hero could
We left him on the field
1--WE left him on the field,
Where battling foemen reeled
He died young American
We left him on the field"
The mother turned to leave the spot,
With sobs that shook her frame.
The glory of her country's flag
To her was but a name.
While people cheered the marching troops
She stood with dropping head.
She could not think, she could not speak
Her boy-her boy-was dead!
She slowly raised her face to Heaven
And silently appealed
While through her brain still rang the
words
1--WE left him on the field"
1--WE left him on the field,
Where Spanish foemen reeled.
Your boy was ours as well as yours
We left him on the field"

MISERY"
By ELIZABETH F. TITLE.
THE mountains of western Pennsy

'HE mountains OF western PennSyl-
vania give shelter to a peculiar
people. The severe winters would
kill off any but the strong, while the
rocky, mountainous farms would not
afford a living to any but the indus
trious. So, in the course of the long,
cold winters and the short, unfruitful
summers, the instinct of self-preserva-
ton has made the mountaineers
strong, sober, Woodworking, econom
ical people, who combine the energy
of the Yankee with the stability and
prudence of the German; people who
are too practical to waste any time
on sentiment, and too industrious and
self-satisfed to tolerate shiftlessness.
Among these people Misery was born
and raised. She was child of the soil,
and grew as the crops grew, because
she had to. Growth was one of the
necessary evils that followed from her
birth. No one took any particular in
terest in her, and she certainly took
very little in herself or anybody else.
Even her mother, a stern, overworked,
dragged-out woman, paid little atten-
ton to her. She was kept too busy
working to keep the roof over her
head, and forcing living out of the
rocky little farm, to care for less i'm
portant things, till suddenly, one sum-
mer, she gave out, and, after lingering
a few days on hard mattress of corn
husks, gave up the struggle for exist
ence, leaving a three-months-old baby
in Misery's arms.
Poor woman! She had tried to tell
the girl what to do. You will have
to take my place, Missouri, an be
mother to the baby, an don't cross
pap" Then, as she thought of how
heavy was the burden of work and
trouble that she was leaving to those
young shoulders, the woman's voice
was choked, and for the first time in
her life Misery saw tears rolling over
her mothers wasted, sunken cheeks.
But this did not last long. A life of
quiet endurance and repression had
not fitted either the child or the
mother for such an exhibition of feel
ing. The woman soon controlled her
self, and tried again, as she had tried
day and night since she had given out,
to think of some way by which Misery
could get along without her. But grad
ually the look of anxiety and suffering
in the dark eyes deepened into posi-
tive despair as they rested on the
slight form by the bedside. What
could snch a child do?
GOD only knows what'l become of
you," she exclaimed, with a strength
that was born Of her passionate de-
spair; then, in quieter tone: do
the best you can, an perhaps the Lord
will help you. Eff you an the baby
could only get along without me, I'd
be glad to die, for I'm clear done out"
Then, later and fainter: "Be good
girl, Missouri; you're all the baby's
got" and with the despair still in her
eyes she turned away from the girl
and looked through the open window
up the mountain side to the tall pine
trees that stood motionless against
the bright blue of the sky. And very
soon. quietly watching them, she died.
After the funeral was over and the
half-dozen neighbors had gone, Mis-
ery's first feeling was sorrow and lone
illness. Her mother and their dog had
