CANDIES IN VARIETY.
* Most of our materials _ for candlemaking come fsom America. Candles are really a. waste product of petro-. hnnn. After the latter has been distilled, there is left a crude wax which ultimately appears in candle form. Before the war thousands of barrels, each containing three to four hundredweights, wore brought over from America , and candles were turned out in agreat variety of shapes and sizes, from thirty to the pound for Christmas-tree to huge affairs, each weighing twentyeight pounds for religious purposes. The average caudle takes about twenty minutes to set in its mould. The moulds are in long rows, and surrounded by cold water to make the molten wax set as quickly ns possible.
