New to Light "a lamp.
There is a vast difference In both the auan-
titg or quality Of light produced by common
soal oil or kerosene lamp when properly
trimmed and that produced by the same lamp
when improperly trimmed, that it is surpris-
ing how any one Of ordinary intelligence and
observation can be satisfied to use, even for a
single hour, an imperfectly trimmed lamp
Tot, strange 70 says large proportion of the
millions OF Kerosene lamps that are IN nightly
use are not trimmed as they should be- Care
less houseseepers and stupid servants think
ut will do just aa wsll' in trimming lamp to
break tho Gharred wick with the fingers to
saw it with arough-edged knife, or to Maggie
it with pair Of dull shears, as it will to clip ii
smoothly and evenly with sharp trimmer
Bus people who are fastdious enough to care
for light they can read, wrte sew, or do any
kind of work by with satisfaction and comfort
know that such is not the fact 68t@
since Kerosene came into uss a.s q light pro-
aDcing agent various inplements for trimming
Tampa have been patented and placed npon the
market; but, after 8 thorough examination OF
Vac most of them, incline to the belief that
nothing has yet been invented for the purpose
quite so convenient cheap and effective IS
palr OF ordinary medium sized scissors To
90 the work properly, however, the scissors
must be kept sharp, for ii is impossible to trina
lamp perfectly without q sharp trimmer
Ihe belief is quite general that to prevent q
lampWick from fsring at the corners and
breaking the chimney, It must be cut rounding
to correspond with the cap or cover of the
burner. kiy experience, however, coupled with
aiose and careful observation leads mo to the
sonclusion that the way to trim lamp so as to
sacuro the very best Yesu!t-to get the n,oat
sad pleasantest light with the least breakase OF
shimneys--is to cut the wick parallel with the
top Of che burner
When ready to trim the lamp remove the
shimney Raise the cap OF the burner. Turn
mp the wick, and, With a pair Of sharp scissors,
sAp 1t even with the top OF the tube Be care
fal not TO euf or squeeze tho tube with the
scissors See thas no lint or thread remains on
the wick, and that it has not been pushed out
OF Its perpendicular position and cut diago-
naliy. Close tho cap over the tube, put the
ahinnsy in place and ths lamp ia ready for
Use. Ii these directions are strictly followed

edged Hame, Wlthouta notch or intlentation in
