imagine anything more ludicrous or in

Hints on the Use and Care of lamps.

OF all misunderstood things in daily
life, the use of the kerosene lamp prob
ably stands at tho head First, n lamp
is bought and fitted for use, and then
filled day after day, and after n longer
or shorter period does not give rs good
Il light as it used TO; then conae conf
plants TO the oil man or grocer about
the quality of tho oil, when little reason
and Judgment used would remedy the
fault and remove the cause of COM
plant Ii persons using u lamp would
remember that the lamp is Il machine
combining the furnace and pump, and
endeavor 10 learn the principle of using
oil, much trouble would be saved, for
while no one expects to use large ma
chine without learning how TO work it.
anyone can use lamp. Now. the wick
is the pump to- bring oil from the fount
to tho blaze, and, rs there is always
more OF less dust and dirt i'm the oil, the
wick soon becomes cloggcd up and can
not pump oil fast enough for good
light, so II complaint is made whom u
new wick would have removed tine
cause. Then, rs we burn oil out, the
lightest parts burn and leave the heavy
oil, and as 1t is filled day by day the oil
gradually gets SO heavy that the draft is
not strong enough to pump it up, and
then the oil should be all turned ont of
the lamp and it rctilled With fresh oil.
Then the burner, after time, gets
gummed up and the even How of oil is
disturbed and causes q smoky, uneven
light that is very veXatious. l have had
burners brought into my store con-
demned and II new one wanted, when
by two minutes work they were made
as good as new. Then when the wick
needs cutting some scrape it of, others
cut it so uneven that it makes pointy
blaze, which SO proyokes one that he
wants to condemn it. (If little reason
and thought were used in the everyday
life, we would soon find that lots of our
discomfort would be very easily over
come and banished, but things go on in
slipshod manner year after year, with
no attempt to improve them.) But 10
resume, the burner is provided with n
great number of small holes to provide
air, to the end that perfect combustion
may take place, and not to collect dust
and dirt until they are all clogged up,
and smoky. bad-smelling light is the
result Now if in using kerosene we
fill the lamp up with white oil every
day, and once week empty back the
oil in the lamp and use a new wick, cut
even and true, once week or two
weeks, and be sure the lamp burner is
clean, and q clear. nice polished Chin
ney used, we will find that the kerosene
lamp is u cheap and great luxury, and
not, rs is often the case, necessary
nuisance which has TO DO used for lack
of anything better. For II little care,
daily, in using lamps, makes all the
difference between luxury and nuisance.

General Master Workman Powderly has
issued a circular to the Knights of Labor,
in which he says: "If a paper criticises
the Knights of Labor or it's officers, do
not boycott it, and if you have any such
boycotts on remove them. A journal
not long since made some uncompliment-
airy illusions to the General Master
Workman of the Knights of Labor, and
at the next meeting of the nearest as
sembly a motion was carried to boycott
the paper-not that alone, but every
person who advertised in the columns Of
the paper. / wrote to the assembly ask
ing that they remove the boycott. and it
was done. We must bear in mind that
the General Master Workman is only q
man and is not above criticism. We de-
mand for ourselves 'the right of free
speech We cannot consistently deny it
to others. We must tolerate fair, open
criticism. If a reply is necessary, make

We are no more the salt of the earth

must deal justly and fairly by them. If
we would have it equally done to MS, we

SILVER.

David Seligman. of the great banking
firm Of Seligman Bros, said on Wednes-
day last regarding the silver decline in
England: India for the past ten years
has been a large exporter Of cotton and
various other commodities to England.
During the last three or four years her
grain exports to England were remark
ably heavy and almost equaled those
from this country. AS the grain crop is
poor in India this year. the balance of
trade is in favor of England; therefore.
as the merchants in England had very
little to remit to India, and silver being
their usual remittance, there was not,
neither is there at present, any demand
at all for silver in England. Hence there
were no buyers, nor are there any, anu
prices naturally declined. as silver is
merchandise in that country, just like
copper, lead, grain or any other CON-
modities. Moreover, no continental or
ders are being sent to England for silver.
which is unusual and remarkable. The
French have taken gold from both Eng.
land and America in order to sustain
their credit and meet their national ex-

AMERICAS Newspapers.


There are now published in the United
States Ii, 160 newspapers and periodicals
of all classes. The net gain OF the year
has been 666. The daily newspapers
number I,2l6, a gain of SO. Canada has
679 periodicals. There are about l,20O
periodicals of all sorts, which, according
to the ratings and estimates of the editor
of the Directory, enjoy a circulation Of
more than 5000 copies each. The in
crease in the weekly rural press, which
comprises about two-thirds of the whole
list, has been most marked in States like
Kansas and Nebraska, where the gain
has been respectively "a and Is per cent.
Kansas also shows the greatest gain in
daily newspapers. The weekly press is
gaining in Massachusetts,, while the
magazines and other monthly publica-
tions are losing ground there. The tend
ency of such publications toward New
York City, as the literary center of the
country, is shown by the establishment
there of not less than twenty.three
monthly periodicals during the year.
Some Of the curiosities of newspaper
statistics are worth a paragraph. There
are 100 religious and UNCONVENTIONAL
newspapers published in the United
States, and nearly one-third Of them are
printed in New York, Philadelphia, Bos.
ton and Chicago. New York is far
ahead in this respect, but Chicago leads
Boston. Three newspapers are devoted
to the silkworm, six to the honey bee,
and not less than thirty.two to poultry.
The dentists have eighteen journals, the
photographers nine, and the deaf and
dumb and blind nineteen. There are
three publications exclusively devoted to
philately, and one to the terpsichorean
art. The Prohibitionists have l29 organs
to the liquor dealers eight. The
woman suffragists have seven, the candy
makers three. Gastronomy is repre-
scented by three papers, gas by two.
There are about 600 newspapers printed
in German, and forty.two in French.
The towns which have most French
periodicals are New York, New Orleans
aud Worcester, Mass. -four apiece.
There are more Swedish prints than
French. Two daily newspapers are
printed in the Bohemian tongue. The
toughest names are found among the
Polish, Finnish and Welsh press; for in

the removal of a few grains, more or
less, from the wrong place would ruin
them. The only instrument used is

ing substance finer than the finest

holder. Mr.. Clark on March Sth was
eighty-two years old. He and his wife
celebrated on March 25th the sixtieth
anniversary of their marriage. He was
born in Ashlield, Mass, and brought
up a farmers boy, but his self-taught
skill gained him situation as an engi-
neer, at the age of twenty-five, in a
Lowell calico mill. Ten years later he
had become a miniature painter in Bos-

the time he was painting portraits he
was grinding away at lenses for pas
