SAINT OF CANDY MAKERS
Maearius, Egyptian Man OF Fame,
Properly Entitled TO Such Honor
as That Name Entails.

Probably few of the confectioners
and candy makers who cater to the
public's "sweet tooth are aware that
they have patron saint all their own,
but such Is the case. He Is st.
Macarlus. Macarius was adopted by
the confectioners as their protector
because he himself followed the oc-
cupation of making sweets in Alex
andria before he forsook the world
and its ways and retired to Thebais
in upper Egypt to live the solitary and
self-sacrificing life of an anchorite.
Macarlus lived in the fourth CEN
fury, and, If we may believe the ira
dItions concerning him, he WAS d
champion faster. For seven We IS, IL
is related, he lived on diet COM
posed of raw herbs and pulse. Dur
ing Lent he ate on Sundays, and then
but few cabbage leaves. One Of the
remarkable tales told about the
"candy saint" is that once, having
killed a gnat that bit him, he expiated
the "crime" by spending six months
in a marsh, where great venomous
flies abounded, subjecting himself to
such torments that he became mass
of sores
