Cooking with OIL stoves.

Mrs. Lincoln, the Boston lecturer on
cookery, says: When one tells you
that there is mo trouble" in using an
oil stove you may be morally certain
that she does nos know what she is talk
ing about. Tobe sure you are saved adj
ditional heat and dust in the summer
when you have so much OF both from
nature herself; but unless you are care
ful you will have smoky atmosphere
and disagreeable odor. You needn't
have either II you choose to manage
properly; the "no trouble" people will
have il all the tine. The way to avoid
it is to keep the burner perfectly clean
and entirely free from the gummy burn
or deposit which even the best oil will
have on the polished brass burner.
Every day the burner should be washed
in hot Glenn suds. thoroughly dried and
the wick replaced; the little brass net
work about the base OF the burner
should be carefully wiped aud kept free
from every particle Of dust. The
wick should be cut squarsly and
evenly with sharp scissors, and not
even a thread should be left that is
HIGHER than the rest. When the blaze
is extinguished, the wick should be
turned down at least hall an inch below
the edge OF the burner. II it is left
above. or even with the top. it will ab
sorb oil, and the oil will run over the
top, making il greasy and soiled. and
emit an unpleasant odor. The best
quality Of oil should be used, rs, after all,
il is fully as economical; there is less
sediment in II, II will burn to the last
drop, will not smoke so badly. and does
not leave such rank oder. The stove
should be tilled after using, and when
frat lighted ths blaze should be watched,
because IL increases in intensity and
very soon begins to smoke. 1t can then
he regulated and left for some time,
especially II you are baking; il yon have
water on boiling, as soon as the water
caches the boiling point the flame will
norease again, and must be torned
lown. The reason for this nobody pre-
ends to explain. but the fact remains.
