THE STORY OF LIGHT

EARLY SCONCES AND LANTERNS,

CANDLESTICKS AND LAMPS.

A P.ithetic Parting. Persons who went down to see one of the big Atlantic liners sail foi Southampton the other morning wit nessed this scene on the pier: A man wearing a long raincoat, accompanied by a handsome woman, arrived carry ing a shaggy haired yellow dog. Ai the pair neared the gangplank the mat turned and. kissing the dog on the muzzle, handed it to the woman, th while addressing it: "Now, baby, take good care of mamma, and be good to her until I gel back." Then he turned and. kissing the wo man goodby. boarded the ship. There was no cheering. New York Times.

"Sister '11 lo down 'n 'bout an hoar." announced little Bobby Wiggins as he led his sister's beau into the parlor. "An hour?" repeated the young man in surprise. ( "Oh. well, she said to tell yer she'd be down in a minute, but you know how that Is yerself."

Cmitaa ( Carry last Flavaakeama at Fratl-raJs Orla-ta at th. Pkraaa, "H.lalasr a Caaala ta To a." 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 occurred at irregular Intervals ever since, the last one being within the memory of the present generation and inspired by Mother Shlpton's prophecy; The world to an end shall com In eighteen hundred ekchty-ona. However, as soon as people became eonvluced that the world was not really 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 manufacture, eutered upjn 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 candlesticks because of their usefulness In church services. During the eleventh century Dinant. in Belgium, became famous for its copper wort, aud isom of the most beautiful chandeliers of this period were made there. At about this time the "couronne des lunilervs,' 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 and 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 understand the purpose for which they were

used. It is rare Indeed to find any cumbersome addition to a lamp or candlestick which has not its use. The old time silversmiths and copper workers did not spend their strength on mere decoration. The sconce and the 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 shielded from the wind by thin 6beets of horn. Lantern making was an Important Industry in Taris. 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 etfect 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 custom. T,Tr. '-t' Jj''''r nt tw begin-

Are You Sick? Much sickness is due to a weak nervous system. Yours may be. If it is, you cannot get well until you restore nerve strength Your nervous system is nature's power house; the organs of your body get their power from it. If the power is not there, the action of the organs is weak, and disease (sickness) follows. Dr. Miles Nervine cures the sick because it soothes the irritated and tired nerves and gives the system a chance to recuperate. Try it, and see if you do not quickly feel its beneficial effect.

Candles had then reached their perfection and candlesticks their most exquisite form. A candlestick of crystal given by Louis XIV. to La Valllere Is still la existence, and it was at this time also that th crystal pendants came Into fashion. , Street Illumination was not seriously attempted in Paris until about the mid

dle of the seventeenth century. Id" 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 band, while the poor slid along, feeling their way by the walls. In bis edict of September, KU17, the king provided that candles Inclosed In a cage of glaaa shonld bo bung by cords at the height of tt first story of the boose, throe lanterns for every street, one at each end and one in the middle. At the sound of a bell, struck by a watchman, they were lighted. , Paris was, however, considerably la advance of other cities of the world at this time. In London link boys stood about in public places calling out la lugubrious tones, "Gentlemen, a light!" The origin of the phrase "holding the candle to you" Is somewhat donbtful, but some authorities trace It to the fact that, as the small light stand had not yet been devised, any one who desired to read In bed bad to have a servant stand beside him to bold the candle. One cannot Imagine that reading In bed under these circumstances would be very enjoyable, certainly not to one who had been accustomed to solitude and a gas Jet easily turned on or off. but there Is everything In habitGas Logic.
