How TO Blow 0uG "a Lamp.

How to blow out kerosene lamp
is a question of no little Importance
to the thousands of our readers who
use the dangerous tluid for iilumina-
ting purposes. We therefore copy
what correspondent of the Schen-
ectady Union has To say on this sub
ject: You recently inquired how u
kerosene lamp is to be eXtinguished
without danger. The following is a
safe plan to follow: Turn down the
wick until the flame is low, then
blow across, not into the top of the
chimney, with IL quick puff, and the
thing is done. One reason why no
more accidents are OccasiOned by
blowing out such lamps is that the
top of the chimney is seldom blown
directly into, the breath usually
striking it at an angle, and its force
being spent before it reaches the
flame, which is extinguised by the
conclusion of the air. Some STYLES
of chimney permit of their being
raised at the bottom, when a very
slight puff is sufficient toput out the
flame, as it is away from and not to-
wards the gas which arises from the
oil. The more volatile the oil. the
greater the danger of SEX.

According to the Boston Advert
ser, as an overloaded horse ear was
coming up Sudbury street. IL short
time ago, when the icy condition of
the street rendered the ascent very
difficult, II gentleman hailed the con-
ductor from the Sidewalk. requesting
him to stop the car. This the con-
ductOr refused to do until the car
reached the summit. The gentle
man, out of breath and temper also,
got on the car and addressed the
conductor as follows: "Sir, sup
posed this road was run for the ac-
commodation of the public" lyon
never were more mistaken in your
life," replied the conductor. sit :
run in order to till the stockholders
pockets" ''lndeed," said the now
irate passenger, 81 thought all the
conductors on this road were gentle
men, Worse than before said
the conductor. "Do you suppose |
would run horse car if | was a
gentleman"
