Man's Debt to the Candle.

After the lamp came the candle. whose modest ray we are inclined to regard with considerable amount of kindliness and esteem. But for the candle the dark ages of the world would have been dark In a still moro literal sense than they already were. and to this humble servant civilized mankind was indebted for tho very best illuminant 1t possessed. certainly until the latter end Of the oighteSnth century, and probably right up to t11o time of the invention Of 6As.

The state executive council is having
arrangement of Offices in the state
house. 1t would probably be easy
enough to effect the settlement but for
outside interference and suggestions.
There is a constant effort being made
from the outside either to bring about
conflict or to represent that conflict is
there and to stir up controversy over
various rooms and Offices The fact
seems to be that there is too little will
ingness on the part of officials to ac-
commodate themselves to the exigencies
of the occasion and too great desire
for each one to hold on to what he has.
But in the end there will be an annie
able arrangement effected.
