THE WORLDS LARGEST CANDLE.

The making OF an ordinary domes-
tic wax or talIow candle is sufficient
" wonderful to the lay mind to ex.
cite comment, but a candle has late.
ly been lit IN Rome that is eleven
feet three inches in height, and will
burn for six years.
In various places Of worship candles
are used in their symbOical sense,
candles of vast proportions, but the
one in question is a giant OF dts clan.
The first step In the making Of this
giant candle was to construct the
wick, a wick that would burn clearly
and cleanly, and need no snuffing.
Suspended by a derrick over vat
Of boiling wax, the wick was dipped
no fewer than two hundred times, till
the required quantity Of wax adhered
to it, and between each dip the wax
picked up had to dry off.
This monster memorial candle has
been made for burning in a church,
and has been lavishly decorated with
gold leaf, and handsomely chased and
carved.-From Answers, London,

has a pain and he feels her pulse
nothing more. Then he tells her for
how many thousand years his race
has understood the human body and

goes forth with great faith in the
learned Chinese and the medicine he
has given her, which is usually harm.

SWEETEST OF ALL PLANTS
South American Shrub Has Proper.
ties That Put Sugar Completely
In the Shade.

I It has been suggested that what
may turn out to be the great sugar
producing plant Of the future is q
dwarfsh shrub found In South Amer
lea. Its botanical name is Eupato.
rum rebandium, and, It Is said, the
results Of careful experiments indi.
cate that 1t yields a sugar from TWEEN.
ty to thirty times as sweet az ordi.
nary cane or beet sugar. One I'd.
vantage claimed for the sugar de.
rived from this plant Is that It occu-
pies, In proportion to its sweetening
powers, less than onetwentieth Of the
bulk Of ordinary cane sugar.
) The world today uses more than
twice the amount Of sugar that II
did quarter Of a century ago. The
people Of the United States consume
a great deal more sugar, In one form
or another, than those Of any other
nation. 1t Is surprising to learn that
In Europe sugar was used at first only
at feasts and for medicinal purposes.
AT the close Of the seventeenth cen.
'tury the sugar industry in France was
"a monopoly controlled by the apothe-
carries. Its introduction as an article
of table use was vigorously opposed
eminent authorities declaring 1t "a
poison" Boyle and other scientists
OF his day averred that sugar induced
congestion Of the lungs, apoplexy, dis
eases Of the stomach and even con.
sumption. By far the sweetest sub
stance known at this time is the coal
tar product called saccharine. It Is
two hundred times the sweetness Of
cane sugar.

Humor Of Artemus Ward,

Some years ago the real scream IN
exclamation was Artemus Ward. Our
fathers were wont to read the witt
cisms Of this great humorist and
laugh till the tears ran down their
cheeks. AS an example Of how funny
Artemus could be when he tried, take
this extract from his letter on Jeffer-
son Davis, president Of the Confeder-
acy, alleged to have been written In
Richmond:
JEFF. Davis is not popular here.
She is regarded as a southern sym.
pathiser, & yit I'm told he was kind
to his parents. She ran away from
'em many years ago and has never bin
back. This was shown 'em q good
deal Of consideration when We reflect
what his conduck has been. Her cap
tur In female apparel confooses me In
regard to his sex, & you see | speak
OF him as her and as frequent as other.

Approves Of Modern Dress.

Many severe things have been said
of the inartistic qualities Of mans
dress in modern times, 80 that 1t
comes as a pleasing surprise to hear
a word spoken in its defense by no
less an authority than Antonio de la
Gandara, the portrait painter. 'Tn the
first place." he says people dress
very we'll in these days. Thus, as
regards the men, think of their even
ing dress clothes! Admire the sober
lines, the perfect harmony! One daz.
zling point alone in the whole cos
tune, the white surface of the shirt
front, and all else is black, nothing
but black. Do you know anything
more beautiful? Never, possibly, has
mans dress been nobler. In a cen.
ltury's time, 1t will be said, With what
perfect art men of that time used to
dress"
