A few days since Thomas Gillen was ar
rested on charge of drunkenness and it
was announced by the arresting officer at

Mrs. GilleD, the mother Of Thomas, stated
yesterday that her son did not smash any
furniture in the house. but that lie came
into the house In state Of intoxcation and
was so overbearing that it became neces-
sary for her to have him taken into custody.

Judge Worley from the bench yesterday

against him also, and the arresting officer
declared that he was such a criminal as
should be sent to the House Of Correction or
the penitentiary.
His mother swore he was a good boy and
only II years Of age, and that is why the
Judge committed him to the care Of the So

TO HAYS n Bright Lam ..

In these days when lamps are used so
much the care Of them is quite an impor-
tant matter. If the lamps be good and have
proper attention, one cannot wish for
more satisfactory light; but If badly cared
for they will be u source of much discom
fort. The great secret of having lamps in
good working order is to keep them clean
and to use good oil. Have regular place
and time for trimming the lamps Put
folded newspaper on the table, 80 that any
stray bits OF burned wick and drops Of oil
may fall upon it, Wash and wipe the
chimpeys and shades Now take Off all
loose parts of the burner, washing them in
hot soap suds and wiping with clean,
soft cloth.
Trim the wicks and turn them quite
low. With a soft, wet cloth, well soaped,
wipe the burner thoroughly, working the
cloth AS much as possible inside the burn
err to get off every particle of the charred
wick. Now fll the lamps within about
one inch from the top, and wipe with n
damp towel and then a dry one Adjust
all the parts and then return them to
| their proper places. Whenever q new wick
! is required in a lamp, wash and scald the
| burner before putting in the wick. With u
student lamp, the receptacle for waste oil,
which is screwed on the bottom of the
burner should be taken off at least once a
week and washed.
Sometimes II wick will get very dark
and dirty before it is half consumed. 1t is
not economy to try to burn it; replace 1T
with fresh one. The trouble and ex-
pense are slight and the increase in clear
ness and brilliancy will repay the extra
care. When lamp is lighted it should
not at once be turned up to the full
height wait until the chimney is heated
Beautiful shades are often cracked OF
broken by having the hot chimneys rest
against them. Now, when lighting Il
lamp be careful that the chimney is set
perfectly straight and does not touch the
shade at any point. The shade should be
placed on the lamp as soon as it is lighted
that it may heat gradually.-Maria Parlot
in Ladies' Home journal.

4 Word to Mothers.

DR.. Nearv, a we'll known Methodist
preacher in the southern Allegheny noun
tans, used to tell many pathetic anecdotes
of the eagerness with which the adult ne
groes crowded into the schools established
for the children of the freedmen after the
civil war.
On one occasion, going into the cabin
where the school was held he found the
foremost bench occupied by row of white
haired old people, each mumbling over an
alphabet card The teacher a young girl,
looked on in dismay. He touched an old
man on the shoulder.
"You are at good work, Uncle Ben.
But at your age-is it worth while?"
Uncle Ben cast a contemptuous glance at
the benches full of children.
EFF yoh was a gardener like me, doctah,
you'd know dat de ole peach trees was de
best fob bearin, an yoh wouldn't waste all
yoh manure on de young shootsl"
The old negro's boast had in it sound
reason.
In one Of our large seaboard cities, the
plan of university extension lectures and
classes, so long in use in England, was
tried
Experts in different branches of knowl-
! edge delivered courses of short lectures on
| historical, scientific, archaeological and lit
erary subjects. Their most eager hearers
were educated women past middle age,
whose lives had long been devoted to their
children.
One of the women said "At sixty the
world opens before me fuller and more
beautiful every day! There is so much for
me to do for myself and for my kind"
Surely this is "a better frame of mind in
old age than that which forces us TO fold
our hands and look mournfully back upon
our youth while we wait in id.eness for
death to come.

not without air and water and SUM-

OF Cleopatra we have no adequate mate
rial portrait, nothing but representations
on coins and medals, which are neither
satisfactory nor conclusive. But this mat
tiers not Plutarch tells us that her beau-
ty, without being Incompatible WAS most
seductive, her face charming, her whole
person full of grace Dion Cas9Ius adds
that her voice was meiOdiOus and Of in
finite sweetness. And what stronger a
traction is there in woman than the charm
of voice, that rarest OF gifts, which holds
the bearer sprllbound aud enchanted;
Elsew here we read that she was queen of
Kings, empress of genius, most erudite
lady initiated into the mysteries Of old
Egypt builder of temples aud palaces,
rival Of Isis.
History represents her as the superb
heroine OF the most dramatic love ro-
nance of antiquity. And 30 the name Of
Cleopatra has taken its place among those
names, magnificent and voluptuous, the
harmonic grouping of whose syllablcs
suggests 10 raverie suave, ideal and lumi-
nous visions, and evokes the souvenir Of de-
licious phauIoms, glorlhed in turn by
legend, art and history. Cleopatra is the
name of one of the great lovers, beautiful
according TO the flesh, of one of the women
born to charm men-Eve, Lilith, Delilah,
Salome, Helen, Aspasia, Theodore.
OF tho brief association of atoms that
formed these creatures there resulted
something ideal, which remains in the
dreams of poets and haunts the memory Of
mankind. Around these names we Goa
centrate all our vague conceptions OF
beauty grace, seductive charm; to our
imagination their vanished bearers appear
most triumphant ladies. Perhaps, AS
Shakespeare says, Cleopatra was most
disloyal lady; but what matters her dis
loyalty? Age cannot wither her, nor
custom stale her iufnite variety" The
poets cannot forget her slory.-Theodore
