smoke rises TO the ceiling. The proper
method to treat gas burners is to remove
the globes every day. and wipe them be-
FORE putting them on again. TO apply
match to the top OF the burner and turn on
the gas slowly. so that very small light
results: then. after the globe is adjusted.
70 turn the gas on TO the required height.

LED CLUSTERED LIVES.

ONG before the Nazarene there
were Greek and Roman vestal viz
gins whose Chaste lives led through
- rosy paths. and who were spared
all the unpleasant things OF life;
but not so the Christian nun. whose life
has always been devoted to work, obedi-
ence aud poverty.
One OF the early arts was illuminating.
where color and form were used to express
words. and prior to the discovery of print
ing mauy OF the early Bibles were the
work OF devnted women in convent life.
One miracle women have always per-
formed is that Of unselfiShnesS. and clois-
!ered women have been pre-emnent in DEM
onstrating that love Of God and man is
he essence Of Christia nifty.
