Care OF Lamps.

Considering the number and variety
Of kerosene lamps in use, il seems lit
tie strange how few there are who fully
understand the care of them. There is
n vast difference in both the quantity
and quality Of light given by n we'll
trimmed and badly-trimmed lamp,
and il is surprising 10 me that any ono
Of ordinary observation can be satisfied
to use badly-trimmed lamp or an inn
perfectly-cleaned chimney. Yet il is
fact that out Of the many thousands Of
lamps in use there are but very few that
are trimmed as they should be. or have
perfectly cleaned chimneys. II Is not
only careless housekeepers and servants
who make this mistake; IL is, many
times, those who are careful, but fail
from the want Of proper knowledge upon
the subject. First Of all, n lamp-wick
should never be trimmed with anything
but sharp trimmer, be il one Of tho
many patented implements now in use,
or simply pair of scissors. The latter
is the best. Let them be sharp, and
used for no other purpose, wiping them
well after using. 10 Is generally thought
the best way TO cut a lamp-wick Is 10
round the corners, thus preventing the
fiaring Of the blaze and the breaking of
the chimney. Others. again. simply
break the charred wick with the fingers,
supposing that IL will then burn moro
evenly, but in both these ideas they aro
mistaken. Great care is necessary i'm
the trimming. The wick shoIld be- cut
below the burnt part, and parallel with
the top Of the burner. Then you are
sure Of its being straight, and Of having
a bright light. Now comes the care of
the chimney. Unless they are well
cleaned. no matter how well trimmed
the wick may be, il the chimney does
not receive the proper attention tho
lamp will give very unsatisfactory light.
In cleaning chimneys, many are again
mistaken, as they wash them, and, as
they suppose. wipe them perfectly dry.
I'm this they many times fail, and the
result is, the chimney breaks when they
least expect IT, / have found, after
many trials, that the best way is never
TO wash them. Simply blow your breath
into ard on them, rubbing quickly with
paper, the softer the better. DO TINS
until your chimney looks clear aud clean.
Then you have no fear OF their being
damp and apt 70 break, at tho same
time Won avoid the particles Of lint that
are apt TO adhere to the glass II cloth -
used. This care given 20 both wick and
chimney will be n thousand times re-
paid. If you care to have a bright and
rood light Caution: BE careful TO keep
the ventila6ng tube on the burner al
ways open aud clean. Remember, also,
the well-knOwn fact that heat expands
and cold contracts; so, II you would
avoid having the chimneys broken, new

the oil should be replenished every day
and never be suffered TO get below the

THE SELFISH OYSTER.


There once was a selfish oil Oyster.
Who lived ike "A monk in a clO'ster,
Safely hous sed IN his she'll,
Like the monk in his cell,
Though the blvalve's apartment was moister
Anchored tight in the mu1 of the bay
This lazy old party did stay.
Nor cared he to roam
Very far from his home;
For exertion. nc thought, did not pay.
And you W II be wondering, I think,
w hat he did N his victuals and drink.
Well the Oyeter was sly,
And when young crabs came by,
He would catch them as quick as wink.
Th9n in hun the poor crabs had to stay,
SO the Oyster 3 IT fatter,
And the crabs-but NJ nj ttter-
For crabs hdve no souls, people say
= And ohor' said the Oyster, said he;
= What a lucky old party Isbc!
Like k ng in his pride
/ wait here, and the tide
Every day brings my living to me-"
But there came grim stlr-nsh who spled
Our friend lying Hat on his side;
For the greedy old sinner
Had just had his dinner,
And now could not run had he tried.
with spring to the Oyster he came,
And he threw his five arms round the sam ..
He shut OF his breath,
Aud ho squeezed him 20 death.
Then he ate him, nor felt any shame.
Tho point of this story, my denrs,
just las plain as a p!kcstad'' appears.
But please give attention,
While briefly ! IN snt,on
The moral again. for your ears.
Don't be grecdy and live but to eat,
Caring only for bread and for meat;
Nor self shly dwell
All alone i'm your she'll
Don't be oysters, In short, I repeat.
But you'll find il much better for you
To be kind, and uuseifsh and true;

The GirI,s Beau.

A DR. Sprague, of New York, was
told by his office-boy that several men
were going to rob his house last Tues
day night Pretending to go out, he
came back and locked himself into his
room where he kept his cash-box. Pres
emily his hired girl admitted three men
into the house. They burst the door
open and went straight for the cash-box.
He fired at them and they turned and
ran. The girl made confession imph-
eating three men, who were arrested.
One of them had been visiting her for
two years. and introduced his brother
and another man to her. The brother
proposed robbing her employer and
sharing the money with her. The Of
fice-boy. who told them where the CASH
box was, was to have his share also.
When they whistled she let them in.
Woman-like she insists that her lover
was not one of the burglars. but the doc
tor insists that there were three Of them.

OFFICER JONES, of Kansas City, Mo-,
was fatally wounded, April 3, while at
tempting to arrest two negroes who had
been charged with theft. The men started
to run away, but one of them, Dick Har-
rington was captured. AS the officers were
taking him to the Central Station they were
overpowered by a mob, who took the
prisoner and swung him off from the Bluff
street bridge. As he went over he shrieked
that he was innocent. One OF the crowd
fired a pistol shot, the rope was cut, and he
fell corpse to the track below. The mob
quickly dispersed and no arrests were made.
The other man was captured in Kansas
City, Kan, and is now in jail.

1t is proverbial that 'stolen sweets
are sweetest, " and that may account in
a ann for the great success of the
play ''Stolen Kisses" which will be
presented in this city Friday next, by
the w. Horace Lingard company. :
There is no hesitancy in recommend
ing this play and company to our peo-
pie, as it has met a warm reception
everywhere presented, and has given
excellent satisfaction.
The play is a comedy, and a most
laughable one, a terror to the buttons
on ready made clothing, and better than
a whole case of ''tonics." The city
was billed for it yesterday.

not only finely illustrated with cuts of
the school building, opera house,
court house, postofice and other

but with some OF the grandest scenery
in Wyoming and the Yellowstone park,
and is also a valuable compendium of
