Lamp Economy.

A careful housewife who makes use of
lamps in the administration of her domes-
tic economy will save herself much trou-
BILE and get more light out of her lamps If
she takes care of her lamp wicks.
The first object to be attained toward
getting we'll lighted lamp is to get free
flow of OIL The wick, therefore, should
be held by the fire and thoroughly dried
before using BY this means it will quick
ly absorb the oil, and the flow Is not i'm
peded.
Another way Is to soak the wick in vine
gar and then dry it thoroughly. This pre-
vents smoking. In some oils there is a
sediment which sinks to the bottom of the
reservoir and adheres to that part of the
wick that lies there. Oil will not flow
through dirty wick, and without good
flow there is little light. Foul wicks should
be washed or boiled in soft water and soap,
then rinsed and well dried.
Another thing to be borne in mind is
that the reservoir of the lamp should al
ways be kept filed. If the oil is low, the
flow is imperfect and the wick becomes
charred. The lamp would then give poor
light and emit disagreeable smell. So
you see, like everything else, a little atten-
ton to lamp wicks in the first instance
will save great deal of trouble and incon-
yenience

The Nursing Baby.

A mother with nursing baby, says a
prominent physician, must be careful to
keep herself we'll nourished and take plenty
of sleep. If she does not, she will not have
good milk for her child. She must also be
careful about bathing, SO that the child
will not take impurities into the system
in nursing. When child uses bottle, a
long pipe should be avoided, as it is not
possible to keep it clean, and the child
may be poisoned with impurities. The
bottle should be washed with hot water,
cooled and kept in clean place. The rub
Der nipples should be left soaking in water
when not in use and thrown away as soon
as they get out of condition.
When the baby must be fed, ordinary
milk is better than prepared food. A
child, until it is months old, takes three
parts of milk to one part of water; from 3
to 6 months, two parts of water and three
of milk, and from 8 to or s months,
equal parts of milk and water.

The Emerrency Drnwer.

Every household should have q fixed
place devoted to simple remedies for the
trivial accidents which often become such
serious affairs through neglect. Burns,
scalds, cuts and bruises are of nearly daily
occurrence, and their frequency as well as
painfulness demands little forethought
toward their alienation.
The emergency drawer is designed to
AL this need. 1t should be stout and
steady, with no tendency to stick fast

Womnn and Lady.

Within % few years there has been a
marked shrinkage in the newspaper use OF
the word "lady." We notice in these times
that s'many women" instead of "many
ladies'" were somewhere, that tho streets
were thronged with women rather than
with ladies, or that woman rode on
horseback where formerly a lady rode.
The women have taken the place of the Ia
dies in the dance, the woman doctor has
superseded the lady doctor, and we hear
more frequently Of the women than of the
ladies who frequent the theaters, churches
and stores. There are women's clubs and
societies, women politicians, women writ
srs and bicyclers.
The change does not mean that women
are less "ladylike" than they used to be,
but perhaps that they are more womanly.
1t does not mean that men are less polite
than they formerly were, or that chivalrous
manners have fallen into utter decay, or
that the gentleman as well as the lady Is a
back number. 1t would be cause of pro-
found regret If the change had any such
significance.
We are disposed to think that it has
been brought about largely by the growth
of the sense of equality between men and
women, by the tendency of the times to-
ward the equallZatlOn OF Une rights anu
privileges of women and men, by the en-
trance Of women into competition with
men as money makers and by the momen-
tum of the woman rights movement. Per-
hhps that last phrase itself has had large
influence in causing the change Since the
word woman" is essential to it one can
not very well speak of ''lady suffrage" or
the "ladies' rights movement" or lady
sfficeholders.
The word woman" was often used con-
bemptuously or in an unkindly sense by
old English writers. In this country only
a generation ago it would frequently have
been unsafe to speak of a "lady" as a
woman" especially If there were ladies
or gentlemen within hearing. The toast
"The Ladies, God Bless Emf was al
ways given amid applause but there would
have been trouble If the toastmaster had
put the word "womcn" for "ladies."
In our time the word woman seems TO
have attained n new dignity. The woman
the right kind of woman-is all that the
lady ever was and more oo.-New York

lenbert are striking examples Of her SYM
pathetic penetration attaining happiest re-
suits in the delineation of characters in
which religious fervor rose high and strong.
Mrs. Oliphant has gained high praise
from critics for "The Literary History of
England In the End of the Eighteenth and
Beginning of the Nineteenth Century"
The volume Of work turned out by Mrs.
Oliphant is remarkable. Scarcely a year
has passed since she began to write with
out three volume novel coming from her
overlooking mind, besides continuous less
er contributions to periodical literature.
She edited Blackwood's Foreign Classics
For English Readers, and herself contrib
uted volumes on Dante and Cervantes. A
list of her novels-of which she has writ
ten more than 40-can scarcely be given
here. Her first work of fiction was called
Passages In the Life of Mrs. Margaret
Maitland of Sunnyside," and was pub
lished before she was 21 years old
Its success encouraged her to write more,
and the result has been to secure for her a
high reputation wherever English is read
for nicely of detail in narrative, keen de-
lineation of country life and character, es-
pecially among Scots, an exquisite sense Of
humor-Mrs Oliphant might have created
Mrs. Poyser if she had thought enough
about such types-and consistent refusal
to- have anything to do with the criminal
GLASSES, titled or common.
Mrs. Oliphant is Londoner, to borrow
Mr.. Bowker's phrase, "only as the queen
is, for she lives at Windsor, near the cas-
tie. Her maiden name was Margaret
Oliphant Wilson, and she was born at
Wallyford, near Musselburg, In Midlo-
THAN, in 1928. The high, even quality of
her work is perhaps more remarkable than
her tireless industry, in view Of the fact
that she has worked steadily through
'great sorrows bravely borne and heavy
responsibilities cbeerfully accepted, which,
II known, would make her dearer than
before to those who know her only through
her books"
