FRIDAY, OCTOBER IL. 1905.

When Oklahoma comes into IN
Union as a State it will do so with the
largest school fund, in proportion 10
population, ever possessed by State
new or old. If we are not mistaken.
The Kansas City Journal thus sums 1t
up:
: One of Oklahoma's greatest advanti 1
ages will consist in her splendid school
endowment In the enabling act Con-
gress voted an appropriation OF 30
600 900 for the public school system, as
a gift to Indian Territory. now the
eastern half of Oklahoma to onset the
school lands of Oklahoma territory
In addition to this cash fund Congress
also appropriated 1,050.000 acres OF land
for the benefit of colleges and higher
institutions of learning in Oklahoma
Besides these rich endowments, Okla :
homa has 2.O56,000 acres of lands which
school lands bring an annual rental
of $4,000. 900. but the statehood bill pro-
vided that they may be leased for min
ing purposes, and when this Is done
the annual income for schools will be
enormously increased. These lands
mostly lie in the rich oil and gas belt,
where an acre often means fortune.
and they also include rich coal. zinc
and lead deposits which are still virgin.
awaiting the hand of capital to de-
velop them. The new state Will have
the right to sell these lands and estab-
lish a permanent fund. but it is hardly
likely to be done in view of the fact
that the rents and leases will support
the schools handsomely and leave
enough surplus to build all the new
without calling on the Legislature for
n cent.

STILL Using CANDLES.

The man whose memory goes back
half a century or more, especially II
his home was in the rual regions, will
not have forgotten that candlemakinE
was one of the important Industries of
household economy. Almost every
housewife had a set of moulds, and the
tallow and the beeswax were care
to mould the candles. Some were
made wholly of wax, some of tallow,
while in others the two were combined.
The woman who did her own house
work in those days and was not up
to making candles for home use was
behind the times. Many candles Sc
sperm. parafine and other foreign ma
terials were bought from the stores
but in the country the people depended
for light on the domestic article. The
light was dim and sometimes inclined
to be sputtery. but many thousands of
country people read, studied and work
ed by the light of tallow candles.
The kerosene lamp was the first real
rival to enter the field against the
humble candle. Its rivalry was mainly
confined TO the towns and cities. but
even out in the country many people
bought lamps and kerosene oil and
found them an improvement in some
They were more expensive, oil was
often difficult to procure, and such
lamps were dangerous If not carefully
handled. Still they pushed the can
die aside to a great extent. Then
came gas, and lastly electricity. and
between them they left no room fol
the candles except in some extreme
rural districts where even the kerosene
lamp has not entirely put the old
light out of use. They have the ad-
vantage Of being safe and easily and
cheaply made, and even if not bril-
lights they suffice for the ordinary
needs of The household.
And yet, with all their disadvantages,
and with all the substitutes. the bus
mess of candle making has not entirely
been abolished. Figures published BY
The New York Commercial show that
about four million dollars worth were
manufactured in the United States last
year for the domestic trade and for
export, and this does not include those
manufactured in the homes for home
use OF which no account is taken in
preparing statistics. SO it seems that
the march of progress, invention and
Improvement has not entirely put the
humble light OF former times out of
business.
