TO HAVE A BRIGHT LAMP.

In these days when lamps are used so
much the care of them is quite an i'm
portant matter, writes Maria Parloa, in
her department in the October Ladies'
Home Journal. If the lamps be good
and have proper attention. one cam OF
wish for more satisfactory light; but
if badly cared for they will be source
of much discomfort. The great secret
of having lamps in working order is to
keep them clean and to use good oil.
Have a regular place and time for trim
ming the lamps. Put folded newspa-
per on the table so that any stray bits of
burned wick and drops of oil may fall
upon it. Wash and wipe the chimneys
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 soft, wet cloth, well soaped, wipe
the burner thoroughly, working the
cloth as much as possible inside the
burner, to get off every particle of the
charred wick. Now fill the lamps with
in about one inch of the top, and wipe
with damp towel, and then with a dry
one. Adjust all the parts and return
them to their proper places. Whenever
a new wick is required in lamp, wash
and scald the burner before putting in
the wick. With a student lamp, the re-
ceptacle for waste oil, which is screwed
on the bottom of the burner, should be
taken off at least once a week and
washed. Sometimes wick will get
very dark and dirty before it is half con-
sumed. 1t is not economy to try to
burn it; replace it with fresh one.
The trouble and expense are slight and
the increase in clearness 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 or broken by having
the hot chimneys rest against them.
Now, when lighting 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.

HIGH WINES FOR EUROPE.
The Action of the German Government
Makes the Whisky Trust Haupy.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-News has been re-
ceived mere by whisky men that the bounty
which the German Government has beer
paving TO distillers for the home production
Of high wines was withdrawn Yesterday.
This action is, presumably, on account
Of the short cereal crops in that country,
the Government desiring to discourage the
use of any of the good crops in the man
ufacture of ''hard liquor" The bounty
has enabled the German distillers to mo-
nopolize the high wine trade of Great Britain
and France, as well as that of their own
country; but its removal and the high
price Of grain has opened both the British
isles and the continent to the American
product, and heavy export trade in that
article is already the result.
Foreign dealers have recently been an
ticipating this action by the German Gov
eminent, and have been buying freely in
this country. In fact, the Whisky Trust has
been forced to take the entire output of two
of its largest Gistilleries in Peoria 20 supply
this demand If the demand keeps up, as
1t is expected TO dc, it will probably be-
come necessary to start up some of the
plants which the trust has bought during
the past few wears and shut down.

REMARKABLE WOMEN.
Two Aged Maidens Confined in the
Same Room in Allegheny.
BOTH LADIES OF THE OLD SCHOOL.
Miss Hart and Miss Cochran Ending Their
Lives Together.
ONE A RELATIVE HONEST JOHN HART

Miss Lizzie Hart, aged 60. fell dowr
stairs recently at her home, No. 1 Grant
avenue, Allegheny, and sustained injuries
TO her hip that may end fatally. Hel
physician, however, is hopeful of hel
recovery.
Miss Hart is a remarkable woman. She
has lived all her life with Miss Elizabeth
Cochran, who is now 90 years old. The two
maidens have lived alone for nearly life
time and now both are confined in the same
room, and there is a likelihood that
neither will ever leave her bed alive.
Miss Hart is the great-crand-daughter of
Honest John Hart, one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence. She is a
woman of rare attainments She was
thoroughly educated and has yet all tie ac-
complishments of the old school of women.
Her father, Aaron Hart, was a Pittsburg
Eteamboatman. He was wealthy, and the
older river men of to-day will remem-
ber his many peculiarities. He owned
several OF the boats putting in
here, and ne was always an untlring worker,
whether on the water or the land. He al
ways personally superintended his business
affairs, and he usually accompanied his
crew up and down the river. He was a
familiar figure from Pittsburg to New
Orleans, and he was respected by all
who knew him. The steamboats, then
were rude compared to those of the present
day, but he was always in the lead in the
way gf equipment and Improvements to his
craft. Unfortunate speculation and re-
verses before his death left his daughter
Lizzie only in moderate circumstances.
She had, however, the advantage of fin
ished school training and the requirements
of a well managed home, and she has always
seemed content with her lot
Miss Lizzie Hart was pretty girl With
her beauty, her accomplishment and her
wealth, she was decidedly popular in her
set, yet she always refused to entertain any
and all offers of marriage. She is a distant
relative of c. B. Mclean, President of the
Masonic Bank, of pittsburg. Mr.. Mclean
is a daily visitor to the home of the two
old ladies, and he and others see that their
every wish is gratified, and they have all
the care and attention that money can pur-
chase or that kind and attentive hands can
supply.
Miss Cochran is cousin of Mrs. Judge
Stowe. She, too, is a member OF a rare old
family, and she, too, has all the acquire
ments of an accomplished woman. Her in
come is sufficient to maintain her during
her life. She has been confined to her room
for months. Her remarkable intellect is
still clear as bell She is q great reader,
and her memory is triumph. She is I'M
able to move about. vet notwithstanding
her years she is in no way a burden, but is
an attractive and pleasant old lady.
The two women have always lived hap
PLY together. They are certainly rare rep
resentatives of rare old families. They are
q pleasure 10 their friends and relatives
ana their friends are positive pleasure to
them.

The Club Building.

To the Editor: 1t was with great pleas
ure I read in last Sundays INDEpEN-
DENT that one of our architectural firms
had been successful in making plans for
the proposed club house, and it is to be
hoped that the gentlemen of the committee
have made a good choice. This, however,
remains to be seen. Let US hope that they
are not laboring under the same delusions
as our honorable school board when they
accepted the present plans.
/ can remember one wear ago when the
school trustees asked me to make plans for
the high school building and told me to be
very sure and net exceed $4,000, because if
| did so they would not except my plans.
But where are they to-day? About 300, 900
has been spent and the roof is not COM
rleted yet, and in all probability they will
wind up not far short of $4,000, and will
do we'll at that. This we ask the club COM
mittee to bear in mind, but it seems tina
such a condition of affairs has never
dawned upon them. When thev request all
architects in the United States to make
plans for their building to cost $50, 900 and
accept one that cannot possibly be built for
poor architects who have worked on plans
to cost but 100000. sthis fair competition?
Is it Justice? Why, the very fact that
j., c.. Paulsen has tried to get all prominent
contractors in our city to accompany his
plans with their bid to the committee, offer
ing to construct the building for $4,000
assuring them that he would see them out
all right-and could not secure n bid, shows
very plainly whore justice lies. This same
architect went to our city building inspec-
tor and asked if he would be permitted to
use wooden shingles, But this did not 90.

and study lightning calculation and short
