A Little Sound Advice that ir Would be
Well to Follow.

l. Always buy the best of oil.
2. Never make a sudden motion with
lamp, either in lifting it or setting it
down.
8. Never put lamp on the edge of a
table or mantle.
4 Never fill a lamp after dark, even
if you should have to go without light.
5. See that the lamp wicks are always
clean and that they work freely in the
tube.
6. Never blow a lamp out from the
top. ,.-
7. Never take lamp to closet where
there are clothes. If necessary to go
to the closet place the light at dis
lance.
8. Use candles when possible in going
about the house and in the bedrooms
They are cheaper and can't explode, and
for many purposes are just as good as
lamps.

stone or earthen jars or in tin.
10. They should never be left where
rats or mice can get hold of them.
There is nothing more to the taste of a
rat than phosphorus. They will eat it
if they can get at it. A bunch of
matches is almost certain to be set fire
to if a rat gets at it.
IL. Have perfectly good safes to
every place where matches are to be
used, and never let match be left on
the floor.
IL. Never let a match go out of your
hand after lighting it until you are sure
the fire is out, and then it is better to
put it in stove or earthen dish.
ID. 1t is far better to use the safety
matches, which can only be lighted up
on the box which contains them.
IA. Have your furnaces examined
carefully in the fall and at least once
during the winter by competent per-
son. All the pipes and fues should be
carefully looked to.
Is. If there are any closets in the
house near chimneys or hues-which
there ought not to be-put nothing of
combustible nature into them.
Such closets will soil silver and crack
crockery and burn bedding. They form
bad part of any house that contains
them.

furnace, range or stove to dry.
II. Have your stove looked 20 fire.

FISHING FOR WATER.
Cold Springs mt the Sea Bottom that Supply
the People of Bahrin.

''Did you ever hear OF a place where
the people are compelled to fish in the
ocean for all the fresh water they use ?"
asked Ben Germley, d sailor who had
cruised in every water on the face of the
globe. "There is such place. and I've
been there. It's the hottest place 1 was
ever in, and I've been to all the hot ones.
Rain never falls there, and the tempera-
ture never changes. L think it stands
at 100 degrees all the year round.
You're thirsty when you go to sleep,
you wake up in the night thirsty, you're
thirsty all day. Yet the people that
live there appear to think they are in
the garden spot OF creation. That's
natural, though, for it isn't likely one
out of a hundred of them was ever in
any other place. This delightful spot
is on the Persian Gulf, at Babrin,
where they fish for the water they drink.
I had the pleasure of staying there three
days, ten years ago.
III don't know who discovered the
fact, but there are numberless springs
of ice-cold water at the bottom of the
Calf, near the shore, where the water
is about sixty feet deep. This must
have been known when they first set up
the town. of course, or it wouldn't have
been started there. This fresh water
gets to be salt enough, though, before
It gets far from the bottom, and so they
have to send down after it. When q
mans wife calls him to go after a
pail of water and be quick about it,
over in Babrin, he grabs goatskin bag,
yells at the first neighbor he sees
-, fI1a
Jump into boat and row out short
distance. The man who is after the
water wraps the goatskin about his left
arm, with the mouth of the bag in his
hand. Then he takes in his other hand
a heavy stone. This stone is tied Sc
curely to the end of long and strong
line, for stones are valuable property
there. Without them no one could go
out and fetch pail of water, and they
are very scarce. With the stone firmly
clutched in his hand the man dives into
the water, and down he goes to the
bottom. When he reaches the cool,
fresh water gushing up from the sand,
he opens the mouth of his goatskin bag,
drops the stone, and floats upward in
| the strong current. The bag quickly
| fills and the mouth is closed again.
When the man reaches the surface his
companion lifts the bag into the boat,
and the diver follows. The stone is
then carefully drawn up, and the men
60 home.
"The water is cold and refreshing
when it first comes up from the depths
of the sea, but it soon gets flat and
warm. The more you drink of it the
thirstier you get, but the natives can
get along on afew swallows of it now
and then. The requirements of the
climate keep the divers at work in the
submarine springs for all they are
worth, and the shore is lined with
their boats all day long. The springs
are said to be the outlet of large natural
aqueducts in range of mountains more
then 500 miles from the coast. but l
guess they would have a hard time to
prove that theory if they were called up
| on to do it."
