THE ST0EY OF LIGHT
EARLY SCONCES AND LANTERNS
CANDLESTICKS AND LAMPS
Trnl Incident of the Ancient
CiiNtodi of CnrryliiK FlaiiilieniiN at
FeMtliitlM OriKin of the lhriinc
IIoltllriRT a Candle to You
There was a panic of a curious origin
about the beginning of the eleventh
century It was widely believed that
the year 1000 would witness the end of
the world and this superstition caused
a very general stagnation of industry
and commerce Such panics have oc
curred at irregular intervals ever since
the last one being within the memory
of the present generation and inspired
by Mother Shiptons prophecy
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred eighty one
However as soon as people became
convinced that the world was not real
ly going to come to an end in the year
1000 they resumed their work and
play and the making of lamps and
candlesticks like other manufactures
entered upon an era of prosperity
Monasteries were famous schools for
this work as for all other forms of
handicraft and paid peculiar attention
to the beautifying of lamps and can
dlesticks because of their usefulness in
church services During the eleventh
century Diuant in Belgium became
famous for its copper work and some
of the most beautiful chandeliers of
this period were made there At about
this time the couronue des iumieres
or circle of lights hung from the ceil
ing became a common device for light
ing a church and some of these are
exquisite works of art
In this period too various devices
for improving aiM shielding the light
came into use Our ancestors were
very practical people and if some of
their utensils appear to us somewhat
singular it is because we do not under
stand the purpose for which they were
used It is rare indeed to lind any
cumbersome addition to a lamp or
candlestick which has not its use The
old time silversmiths and copper work
ers did not spend their strength on
mere decoration
The sconce and tho lantern were in
general use throughout the middle
ages The sconce was a light covered
and guarded from the wind lifted
down by a handle and distinct from
the lantern serving somewhat the
same purpose but hung by a chain
Lanterns in the thirteenth century
were made of gold silver copper or
iron according to the means of the
owner The light in them was shield
ed from the wind by thin sheets of
horn Lantern making was an impor
tant industry in Paris
At this time too noblemen and rich
merchants took to having luxurious
little traveling equipments made for
them and among these were traveling
candlesticks and wash basins in this
fine enameled work the secret of
which is now lost
The custom of- having servants carry
flambeaus at festivals also became
general about this time and a strange
and tragic incident Is connected with
this fashion At a ball given by
Charles VI the torches carried by
some careless servants came too near
the headdresses of certain persons
dressed as savages and set them on
fire The unfortunate guests were
burned to death and the king at the
sight lost his reason a madness which
had a serious effect on the history of
France
Magic lanterns were invented in the
time of King Francis I A device on a
somewhat similar plan was used as a
sign before shop doors to attract cus
tom
Lamps fell into disfavor at the begin
ning of the seventeenth century and
were used only by the poor and in pas
sages and stables where the smoke
could evaporate and a great deal of
light was needed Candles had then
reached their perfection and candle
sticks their most exquisite form A
candlestick of crystal given by Louis
XIV to La Valliere is still in existence
and it was at this time also that the
crystal pendants came into fashion
Street illumination was not seriously
attempted in Paris until about the mid
dle of the seventeenth century In the
first years of that notable century the
streets of Paris were dark The rich
were escorted by lackeys bearing
torches the middle class folk picked
their way lantern in hand while the
poor slid along feeling their way by
the walls In his edict of September
1UG7 the king provided that candles in
closed in a cage of glass should be
hung by cords at the height of the first
story of the house three lanterns for
every street one at each end and one
in the middle At the ound of a bell
struck by a watchman they were
lighted
Taris was however considerably in
advance of other cities of the world at
this time In Loudon link boys stood
about in public places calling out in
lugubrious tones Gentlemen a light
The origin of the phrase holding the
candle to you is somewhat doubtful
but some authorities trace it to the
fact that as the small light stand had
not yet been devised any one who de
sired to read in bed had to have a ser
vant stand beside him to hold the can
dle One cannot imagine that reading
dn bed under these circumstances
would be very enjoyable certainly not
to one who had been accustomed to sol
itude and a gas jet easily turned on or
off but there is everything in habit

AN ANCIENT PYRAMID
Story of the Tomb of tho ChrItfnnH
In Algeria
The tomb of the Christian in Algeria
Is a pyramid on the summit of a hill
more than 700 feet high at the edge of
the sea It dates back to before tho
time of St Paul having been built by
order of Juba II the king of Mnure
tania as a burying place for himself
and his wife Cleopatra the daughter
of Cleopatra ami Mark Antony Tho
only daughter of Juba and his wife
was Drusllla who married Festus tho
governor of Judaea In the time of St
Paul The tomb can be entered by a
low doorway beneath one of the four
false doors These have moldings on
them of a cruciform shape and may
account for the title The Tomb of tho
Christian The passage within the
pyramid winds round and eventually
leads to two chambers shut off from it
by folding doors which can be moved
up and down by levels The tomb
must have been rilled of all it contain
ed centuries ago though some think
that by excavating in a downward di
rection it might still be possible to dis
cover the burying place of the king
and queen suoslng the two cham
bers like the false doors outside to
be a blind Doubtless the younger
Cleopatra had brought the idea of
making a royal mausoleum In the
shape of a pjramid from Egypt Por
tions of a marble statue of Egyptian
design were found at Cherchei sug
gesting that an Egyptian colony may
once have existed there There are
two other similar monuments in Al
geria in the provinces of Oran and
Constantine respectively the latter be
ing considerably older than the tomb
of the Christian which however is
tho only one referred to in ancient
writings Autocar
THE ELDER TREE
Once Held In Iliprli Esteem as n Care
For Epilepsy
Although tradition tells us that it
was on an elder tree that Judas hang
ed himself great virtue has long been
attributed to it as a cure for epilepsy
The origin of this belief may be found
in the following quotation from an old
book of charms
In the month of October a little
before full moon pluck a twig of elder
and cut tho cane that is between two
of its knees or knots in nine pieces
Bind these pieces in a piece of linen
hang this by a thread about the neck
so that they touch the spoon of the
heart or the sword formed cartilage
and that they may more firmly stay in
their place bind them thereon with a
linen or silken roller wrapped around
the body till the thread break of itself
The thread being broken and the roller
removed the charm Is not to be touch
ed at all with the bare hands but
shonld be taken hold of by some in
strument and buried in a place that
nobody may touch it
Of course unless the instructions
were followed strictly a complete cure
could not be assured There is another
superstition about the elder which
doubtless has saved manj a boy a
stout caning namely that it hinders a
childs growth if used as an instru
ment of punishment Sunday Maga

Walking to Health
When there is no organic weakness
which is aggravated by the exertion it
is the easiest and pleasantest thing to
walk right into health Of course there
is no virtue in a dawdling walk The
slow and languid dragging of one foot
after the other which some people call
walking would tire an athlete it ut
terly exhausts a weak person and that
is the reason why many delicate peo
ple think the- cannot walk To de
rive any benefit from the exercise it is
necessary to walk with a light elastic
step which swings the weight of tho
body so easily from one leg to the oth
er that Its weight is not felt and which
produces a healthy glow showing that
the sluggish blood is stirred to action
in the most remote veins This sort
of walkimr exhilarates the whole body
gives tone to the nerves and produces
just that sort of healthful fatigue
which encourages sound restful sleep
Civilization Does Not Enfeeble
We need not have the slightest fear
that civilized man is going to become
degenerate from city dwelling or any
of the other strains of civilization
Contrary to popular belief the white
man of today has a lower death rate
a higher average length of life is tall
er heavier and stronger than any of
his predecessors or any known race of
savages Almost any company of
American and English soldiers will
contain men who can outrun outwres
tle and outswim the best athletes of
any native tribe Success Magazine
Should Help Himself
Yes young Mr Timmid admitted
Ive always been bashful among the
girls
But why should you be asked
Miss Yern encouragingly
I cant help myself
Gracious she exclaimed pursing
up her ilps If you dont help your
self how can you expect to get any
Speculation
Experience proves that those who
gain money rapidly by speculation al
most never keep it and when they
have lost it they are infinitely worse oft
than they were before Success Maga
