How to Manage Kerosene Lamps

IF the brass work, cone, etc., is heated
unusually hot, it will cause gas to gener-
ate in the lamps, which, as it produces
pressure. will force itself up the lamp to
sputter, and even snap itself out. Now
if when it is "sputtering" the brass-work
is cooled of, for instance, by wrapping q
wet cloth around it, the lamp will cease
sputtering and swapping and burn as it
should.
An examination, while operating as
above, will generally reveal charred and
saturated wick burning around the base
of the wick tube, or the flame of the
lamp may impinge on the cone, owing to
its being slightly turned or the wick hay-
ing ragged corner, causing the brass
to heat and generate gas. Low proof oil
forming gas at low temperature, is con-
sequently more unsafe to use. If the
wick fits the tube properly, blowing down
the chimney is the best way to extinguish
it, the following reasons:-It is perfectly
safe, the wick need not be trimmed for
several days, thus obviating the necessity
of regulating it every time it is lighted.
a slight puff or gentle dirt Of the fin
gers across the top Of the chimney, in an
upward, slanting direction, is all that is
necessary. a tremendous and badly
aimed blast is generally used, where a
mere puff would suffice if properly di-
rected. If the wick fits the tube, it is
impossible to drive the fame down into
the lamp by blowing into the chimney

THE RADICAL RIDE.
By A. JAY WALKER.

Up from Kentucky, the first they say,
That brought to Radicals their great dismay
The affrighted air with a shuddder bore s
Like q herald in haste to the Radicals door
The terrible grumbls and rumble and roar,
Telling the battle was on once m ore, -
And the Rads-scattered in every way.
And wider still those billows Of. war
Thundsred along the hofizen,s bar; :
And louder yet into California rolled.
Theroar OF that red sea uncontrolled,
Making the blood of the leaders grow cold
As they thought ofthe stake in that fiery fray,
And the Rads--scattered in every way.
But there is way from California known
As a good broad highway leading down;
And to Montana as with terrible fright,
The RAIDS as black as the steeds of night
We're seen to pass as with eagles fight,
As if they knew of the terrible need,
They stretched away with the utmost speed;
Hills rose and fell, but all was dismay,
For the RAIDS were-scatt cred in every way.
Urged on by their leaders they thundered
South,
Their impeachment cries loud as the oannon's
mouth
Or the blatant cries Of Ashley-sweeping
- faster and faster,
Forboding to RAIDS. the doom of disaster;
Il
The hearts of the Democrats and the heart of
ev their master
Were beating like prisoners assaulting their
walls,
Impatient to be where the battlefield calls;
Every nerve of the RAIDS was strained to full
play,
And yet-ohio rolled forty thousand away
Toward the East they now took the road
Sorrowing mournfuDy, their spirits iowed,
And the stragglers fingered away behind, +,
Like captains weary in body and mind;
And their leaders, like bark fed with fur
mace fire, sf a
Swept On with their Wild eyes fun Of frs,
But 10! they are nearing their hearts aesirs,
They aresnumng ths slnbLo VI slle renhsya9

Where. the RAIDS lost-eishteen thousand they
say.
The first the RAIDS saw were the groups
OF straggisrs, and then The retreating troops.
What was done-what to do-a glance told
them both,
And away to New York they went with ter
rible oath;
They dashed through the line with storm
of huzzahs,
And the wave of retreat checked its course
there-because
The sight of Sheridan compelled it to pause,
