CARE OF LAMPS.

If lamp Is properly brushed out
with q stiff little brush, which may be
kept for the purpose, there is no need
of washing the burner. All that is ne
cessary is to wipe the burner out in
every part with eoft flannel or cotton
cloth. which should also be kept for
the purpose. This keeps the burner
bright and free from surplus Oil and
dust. The best way of treating wick
is to brush off the charred part and
thus allow 1t to trim ITSELF. II the ecis-
sors is used 1t 10 apt to be uneven until
the flame has burned It even. A few
drops of alcohol will do more to re-
move the dust and smoke from the in
side of lamp chimney and leave 1t
crystal bright than quart OF wateI
When dust is difficult to remove apply
q little alcohol on a cloth. The metal
work of q lamp is best kept bright by
rubbing it firmly and polishing it with
. little kerosene on . soft cloth. DO
not use sticky old cloths for cleaning
lamps, but wash out your lamp cloths
and lamp brush frequently and see
that they are clean when used.

The King Of Spain said to Columbus;
Can you discover America? Yes

sea in the direction where be thought
America ought to be found. The sailors

that Mr.. Nye was not, aud did not care
to be a wealthy man, there was more
money spent to secure his election after
the ~coavoning Of the 6rst Legislature
than has probably been c~orruptly used
in that body for any purpose since that

after q JOINT convention session OF many
