THE BURNED CITY.
The city which has been visited by
this disastrous confagration is the
chief commercial emporium of Wes-
tern Asia. Smyrna has for centuries
been the most important center of trade
in the Levant. It's the starting point
of two Of the very few railways in

ers makes the city seem to be embow-
cred in roses anu myrtles. The city
is wretchedly built, the houses being
mostly of wood and only one story
high. The streets are narrow, offering
abundant means for the rapid spread
Of a conhagration. Numerous cafes
and gardens are scattered along the
banks of a small stream which runs
through the suburbs. The annual
imports amount to about $4,000, 900
and the exports $23, 100000. The most
of the carrying trade, after that of
England, is conducted under the flags
of Austria and France. The chief
imports are silks, velvets, cotton, iron
nails, timber, copper, manufactures,
rice, coffee, sugar and petro-
leum. The staple exports are raisins,
figs, cotton, opium, spOnges, carpets,
grain and tob-co By the Smyrna

$472, 900 in 1876. The Smyrna and
Cassaba railway, 105 miles long,
earned $569,000 at the same period.
The roads are bad. The pavement of
the streets remain as it was a century
since, The port, which can accom-
modate about 300 vessels, is sur
rounded by stone mole. 1t is re-
garded as a safe harbOr, while there is
excellent anchorage in most parts of
the gulf. There is quay constructed
by French company in 1869, but the
landing is sometimes inconveDient
and passengers have to be carried on
shore through the mud. Smyrna has
suffered repeated vicissitudes, espe.
cially from destructive earthquakes
and visitations of the plague; but its
admirable situation for commerce has
caused it, after each calamity, rapidly
to regain its Importance.

terday morning were witnesses Of a
scene which, though pathetic. moved
nearly all to intense indignation. An
old man, eighty-two years ofage, had
been summoned by the Overseers Of
the Poor of the town of Portchester,
who wanted him to provide for a
drunken worthless son, thirty years Of
age. The defendant claimed, and no
one disproved his statements, that his
income was not sufficient to maintain
the family dependent upon him, among
whom we're blind son aDd'a daughter
subject to fits, and with choking utter.
ance tried to tell bow much he had
done for the drunken son whose
maintenance the town was trying to
avoid. Judge Clifford controlled the
feeling with which the spectacle filled
him, in common with other spectators,
but he firmly declined to grant the
order asked for. "The town." he said,
'has licensed the establishments
where this old mans son buys his
rum, so the town must take care Of the
drunkard. l cannot order man ol
eighty-two to provide for a son who
were it not for rum could and should

of the spectators applauded as loudly
as he dared behind an open copy oftht

toned to ssme of the severe DEGREES oil

Judges logic was unanswerable. Rum

How to Trim a Lamp.

Ihere Is such vast difference in
Doth the quantity and quality Of
light promised by common coal oil
or Kerosene lamp when properly
trimmed and that produced by the
same lamp when improperly trim.
'ned' That it IS surprising huw any
one of ordinary intelligence and oh.
servation can be satisfied to use, even
for single hour, an imperfectly
trimmed lamp. Yet. strange to say,
a large proportion of the millions of
Kerosene lamps that are in nightly
use are not trimmed as they should
be, Careless housekeepers and stu.
pld servants think ''it will lust do as
WE'LL" in trimming lamp, to break
the charred wick with the fingers, to

gle 1t with pair of dull shears, as 1t
VIII to clip it smoothly and evenly
with sharp trimmer. But people
who are fastidious enough to care for
a light they can read. sew. or do any
kind of work by. with satisfaction
and comfort, know that such is not
the fact.
Since kerosene came into use as a
light-producing agent. various imples
ments for trimming lamps have been
patented and placed upon the mar
ket; but. after a pretty thorough ex-
animation of the most of them, says
a correspondent. 1 incline to the be-
lief that nothing has yet been invent.
ed for the purpose quite so conven
lent, cheap and effective as pair of
ordinary. medium sized scissors. To
do the work properly, however, the
SCISSORS must be sharp. for it is inn
possible to trim lamp perfectly
without a sharp trimmer.
The belief is quite general that to
prevent a lamp wick from tiaring at
the corners and breaking the chin.
ney, 1t must be cut rounding. to cor
respond with the cap or cover of the
burner. My experience, however,
coupled with close and careful obser-
walton, leads me to the conclusion
that the way to trim lamp go as to
secure the very best result-to get
the most and pleasantest light: with
the least breakage of fchimneys-is to
cut the wick parallel with the top Of
the burner.
When ready to trim the lamp re-
move the chimney. Raise the cap of
the burner. Turn up the wick, and,
with pair Of sharp scissors, clip it
even with the top of the tube. Be
careful not to cut or squeeze the tube
with the scissors. See that no lint
or thread remains on the wick, and
that it has not been pushed out of its
perpendicular position and cut dag
Onally. Close the cap over the tube,
put the the chimney in place, and
the lamp Is ready for use. If these
directions are strictly followed. it
will, when lighted, yield broad,
straight-edged fame, without notch
or indentation in it, and furnish a
clear, pleasant, steady light. Try it
and see. .-- ',
