RrichtlY Burning Lights.

If lamps be good and have proper atten-
ton one cannot wish for a more satisfac-
tory light The great secret of having
lamps in good working order is to keep
them clean and to use good oil. Have a
regular place and time for trimming the
lamps Put folded newspaper on the
table so that any stray bits of burned wick
and drops of oil may fall upon it. Wash
and wipe the chimueys and shades. Now
take off all loose parts of the burner, wash
ing them in hot SOAP suds and wiping with
a clean soft cloth Trim the wicks and
turn them quite lew With a soft, wet
CLOTH well soaPe.. wipe the burner
thoroughly, wOrkiul the Goth a. much as
possible inside the burner to get off every
particle of the char d wick. Now fill the
lamps within about ne inch of the top and
wipe with damp owcl and then a dry
one. Adjust all Jh. Hurts and return them
to their proper p.Jy. s., Whenever a new
wick is required in % lamp, wash and scald
the burner before putting in the wick
With a student han p the receptacle for
waste oil, which is rcwed on the bottom
of the burner shou. he taken off at least
once a week and WISHED Sometimes a
wick will get very Z tx and dirty before it
is half consumed. II Is not economy to try
to burn it, replace it with fresh one The
trouble and expense are slight, and the in
crease in clearness and brilliancy will re-
pay the extra care. When a 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.
