Kerosene becomes more deadly every year
as the hours of evening lamplight lengthen
aud the frequent lighting of fires becomes a
daily duty. The fact that these accidents are
entirely unnecessary renders them the more
lamentable. In the hope of preventing some
of these accidents, VIC state few facts which
everybody ought to know
l. 1t is not the kerosene that explodes,
but an invisible gas that arises from it,
>. II oil is poured into lamp that needs
filling, this gas rises out of the lamp or can,
or both, and explodes, often with deadly
force, if there be any fire within reach.
3. Pouring oil from can upon a burning
fire or into a lighted lamp ought to be fol.
lowed by terrible explosion. Sometimes it
happens that no explosion occurs, but the
risk is frightful
1. The only safe rule is never to pour oil
on a burning fire or into a lighted lamp.
Now, you may give Bridget positive orders
with regard to the fires, but when no one is
at hand in the early morning hours, the
temptation is strong to assist the smouldering
blaze by the aid of a little kerosene. She
has done it without injury formerly, why not
again So the nose of the can is tilted over
the range or CRATE, there is a flash, a scream,
and poor Bridget will never have another
chance to disobey orders. Perhaps it would
be better, if Bridget must be allowed access
to the can at all-the suggestion is timidly
made-to show her now she may aid the fire
with comparative safety. All she has to do
is to pour spoonful or two of the oil into
cup or something of the kind, and setting
the can down at safe distance pour the oil
from the cup upon the fire. 1t is not likely
that she will suffer much injury from the
comparatively mild explosion that may fol.

A simple, inexpensive method of clearing
the pipe is as follows just before retiring at
night pour into the pipe enough liquid pot
ash I've of So strength to fill the trap, as
it is called, or bent portion of the pipe just
below the outlet About pint will suffice
for washstand, or quart for a bathtub or
kitchen sink. BE sure that no water runs in
to it till the next morning.
During the night the I've will convert all of
the ofal in the pipe into soft SOAP aud the
first current of water in the morning will re-
move it entirely, and leave the pipe as clean
as new. The writer has never had occasion,
in over thirty years of experience, to make
more than two applications of it in any one
case.
A remarkable example of the value of this
process was that of a large drain pipe which
carried off the waste of an extensive country
house near Philadelphia, and ran under a
beautiful lawn in its front. A gallon Of the
lye removed all obstruction in single night,
and saved the necessity Of digging up the
pipe and dishguring the greensward of the
lawn, as the plumber intended, until advised
of this process.
The so-called potash lye sold in small tin
cans in the shops is not recommended for
this purpose it is quite commonly misnamed,
and is called caustic soda, which makes a
hard soap. The lye should be kept in heavy
glass bottles or demiiohns, covered with
wicker work, and plainly labeled; always un-
der lock when moi in actual use. -ScieHtifc

Table Talk,

Every lady who presdes at a table is inter
ested to know how she can depend upon hav-
ing things come upon the table as she would
like them. How often are remarks like this
made; This is just my fate; when espe-
cially want nice thing, somehow or other it
turns out poor"
A lady expects company to tea. She orders,
for instance, biscuits, and they are brought to
the table heavy and indigestible. How many
housekeepers can testify to modification, as
we'll as disappointment, under such circum-
stances 1t may not, however, have occurred
to them that it is not always the cooks fault.
Your biscuits, cakes, pot-pies, puddings etc,
cannot be raised with earth or worthless sub
stitutes, and it becomes your own fault when
you permit any baking powder to come into
your kitchen about which you know absolute
ly nothing as to its purity or healthfulness.
The market is flooded with Glow. priced"
baking powders, gotten up to make an unjust
profit by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers and
dealers, and it is worthy the attention of all
housekeepers to note there is at least one
brand Of baking powder distinctly sold upon
its merits and which can be relied upon for
uniform strength and purity. The Royal bak-
ing powder, now known almost the world over
as standard article has stood the test of
nearly quarter of a century, and its friends
among the ladies are legion.

Hideous doctrines have been taught on this
subject. We have been solemnly told to rise
from the table as hungry as when we sat
down. We have been told TO be always ready
for a meal-in other words, TO live in state
of perpetual hunger. We have been told to
eat those things we most hate, and to avoid
those things we most love-that to have a
longing for any article is the very reason why
we should be denied il. These doctrines are
monstrous They are unworthy of the nine
teenth century. They are a libel on the Gre
ator who gave us tastes and appetites, in or.
der that we might know what to eat and
drink, and gave us also judgment TO direct
appetite and taste when the system becomes
diseased. Notwithstanding all its liability to
perverson, the appetite is, on the whole,
better guide in selecting food, and in measur-
ing its quantity, than all the books on hygi-
enc that have ever been written. The prac.
tioe of Weighing the food, which was intro
duced to the world by the example and teach
ings Of Cornaro, the Italian cannot be too
strongly reprobated. 1t is impossible for the
scale to tell us how much to eat The guam
tity Of food that we need depends on the
amount OF labor that we do, on the nature of
the constitution, on our mental moods and
on the quantity and variety Of the food which
is served To weigh or measure the food ba-
bitually is not only silly, unnecessary and
useless, it is actually crime. 1t wastes valu-
able hours that should be better employed.
It makes us miserable, and that fact alone is
argument enough against it. 1t brings on in
digestion and all other woes, and therefore
prevents us from getting the best advauta &c
Of what we eat.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
n gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality OF them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATcm CASE, aside from the neccs-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion OF the metal is needed
only to stiilen and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but uudesira-
bic, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength aud elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and closc-iitting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case 80, v37 y,,v
which saves the WASTE Of need J D
less gold, and INCREASES the soI1D1TY and
STRENGTH Of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.
