Take an ordinary lamp, fill 1t as nearly as
possible with wick, placing bits of sponge
where spaces occur; pour on the oil; the
lamp will burn until all the oil leaves the
wick and sponge. So arranged, 1t is i'm
possible for lamp to explode.
10 save oil, put the WICK into the lamp,
and fill the reservoir about half full with
coarse salt. and then put in an inch of oil
(above the salt). This gives pure, brilliant
light, and renders snuff1ng of the wick I'M
necessary.
See that the brass catches of the burner
are not too tight; if they are, they may
cause the chimney to break.
When the lamp has been lighted, let the
flame be low at first, until the burner be-
comes heated, then turn up as high as
needed. This secures clear, steady flame.
The holes about the burner should be
entirely free from dust and oil and kept
open to admit air.
Ifs lamp has been left standing with a
little oil in it, do not light it before filling it
and cleaning the burner; gas may have
formed in it. Some three hundred deaths
occur every year in London through the
explosion of lamps. To extinguish flames
from kerosene throw -four upon them.
Hanging lamps are safest where there are
children.
A good cement for fastening on lamp tops
is melted alum use as soon as melted, and
the lamp is ready TOR use when the cement
is cold. Or. make q cement Of one part
caustlc soda, three parts rosin and five parts
of water, all boiled together; then knead
with half the weight of plaster of Paris.
Hardens in three-quarters of an hour.
For night work an incandescent lamp
with ground shade, is good. For an oil
lamp the students is perhaps the best. The
Rochester burner and white Or ground
shade give an excellent light. Flat-wick
lamps are not SO good.

Care Of Children.

Along with the care of mothers comes the
question Of the children, ana we give place
to most sensible article by one who is also
interested in the welfare Of the youth of our
crowded towns and cities. She says: Of
course no child should be in the city in
summer, if that were possible, but since it
is not possible that all shall romp in the
hay fields, fish in the brook, build sand forts
and Jay in wholesome stock of freckles,
and many people of small means must keep
their children amid hot pavements and the
devitalized air of summer cities, it is well
that few precautions should be observed.
1t is not possible to save them entirely from
discomfort and injury to health, but at least
the risk and unpleasantness can be minim-
lied by taking little pains.
Make rule to get them up early. Five
O'Clock is not too early, for then the air is
freshest and purest, and they should have
glass of milk and biscuit. The milkman
will just have left it and it will be not long
In from the country and start at once for
walk. Never mind their being very smart,
no one will see them at that hour, and let

for children need exercise and a great deal
of it even in sum mer- It is no matter if
they get wet with perspiration, that is good
for them provided they do not sit in a
draught while damp. After an hours walk
and romp let them come home and get a
cold bath and breakfast. Not too much
hominy, oatmeal and the like; brown
bread, more milk an egg and certainly some
ripe fruit.
1t will not hurt them while the morning
is still cool to help little about the house
To feel that he is useful and important is
child's greatest JOY, ana is the best training
for character. Give them a drawer to tidy,
a closet to make orderly, 3 little busting,
setting the breakfast dishes back in place,

lessons. no duties and shut up in hot, small
quarters they are very likely to quarrel and
fret, and the busy mother will find it easier

The Lamp.

The Lamp.
This is one of the indispensables in most
houses, especially in our small towns and
the care of them is no little item.
Someone tells us, that nothing of mate
rial nature adds more to the attractiveness
of home during the long winter evenin gs
than properly made and managed lamp.
80 far as the human eyesight is Concerned,
bright, strong kerosene lamp is the best
possible substitute for daylight. But the
lamp should be kept filed, trimmed and
clean, or it becomes nuisance and inimical
to health and happiness
Let all the lamps be brought to the kitchen.
after breakfast; take them apart, fill the
reservoir with oil, but never so that the oil
touches the tube through which the wick
passes. Boil the metal chimney holder at
least once week-oftener won't hurt-in
soap suds. Wipe off the oil and dirt from
other parts, especially from the metal that
becomes heated, as it is this part that gives
off foul odors when the lamp is lighted.
Raise the wick, wipe off the charred part
with rag kept for the purpose; the scissors
may be needed occasionally to make the
wick straight. Try the wick by lighting it,
after cleaning it, and see that it burns evenly.
1t should never crowd the tube; neatly
fitting wick is the only one that will burn
steadily. A lamp turned down low causes
an unpleasant odor and there is said to be
no economy in the practice. Either keep
the light burning full head or blow it out.
It sho2ld also be kept from drafts. especially
of cold air. Don't blow down the chimney,
but across the top, when you want to
extinguish the light. Then turn the wick
down low, below the tube, otherwise oil will
come up and spread over the metal parts,
causing dirt and smoke. Keep the lamp full
for the oil will not explode, but the gas from
it, mingled with air is highly explosive.
Hence the necessity of allowing no space
within the reservoir to become full of gas.
Use only the best Oil. Keep the burners
perfectly clean. Soak wicks in strong vinegar.

wise of the wick. Perhaps the trouble comes
from worn out top, the cog wheels not
working. Replace With new one. The
matter of a few cents should not figure at
all where the lamp is concerned. Get the
best lamp and keep it at its best all the
time.
THE CHIMNEY.
A brush made of bristles set in twisted
wire is bad for cleaning lamp chimneys, as
the wirejs apt to scratch ard cause it to
crack when heated. Use soft sponge tied
to piece of wood, or buy the cleaner that
is made of cotton threads on handle. If
not very dirty. simply breath into the chin
ney and clean with the sponge. If badly
smoked, dip the sponge in soap-suds, rinse,
and wipe dry on a clean cloth, a piece of
newspaper finishing up the work. Holding
a dirty chimney over the steam from boil
ing tea kettle makes it easy to clean. To

Famous Milk Drinkers

They say old people should not
drink milk. Indeed, have heard
eminent authorities declare that
milk is indigestible after 30 re-
member that Mr.. Labouchere some
years ago, when he found it neces-
sary to leave off alcohol, recommend
ed milk, with certain quantity OF
lime water by way OF digester. The
subject interests me, because |

would let me. You know what
"they" means in this connection;
after 40 you think of your diet, after
so yon are compelled to do so; but
what is the meaning of the dead set
there is against milk3 If you attend
to the experts, it is difficult to say
what there is left to drink beyond
water. Milk seems to be as much
tabooed as tea and alcohol, though
my experience tells me that tea is
one Of the most harmless and re-
freshing OF drinks-if properly
made. Mrs. Kendall, who is careful
OF her health and the artistic de-
mands of the English stage, has told
us that for many years her supper
consisted of bread and milk. Charles
Macklin, the famous comedian,
drank milk at so. He had it boiled,
and preferred it to tea. Occasion
ally he would have bread in his
milk sweetened with brown sugar.
He was the lover Of eggs, custards,
and jellies suppose he had a
live, most men have, but to-day these
things are forbidden to the liver
brigade as if they were as poisonous
as champagne is said to be. Dean
Hook used to milk the COWS himself,
he was so fond OF milk diet. He
drank rich cream in large quantities.
Douglas Jerrold began the day with
jug OF new milk. One of the chief
articles Of Carlyle's daily diet
was fresh milk. Don't you remember
that more than suggestions of the
disabilities of Mrs. Carlyle's life in
Froude, where he mentions that the

WHO THE WRITER'S WERE.

A letter was deposited by the
police at the post Office with the de-
sired address, and number of de-
tectives kept constant watch. After
two days boot-maker's apprentice
asked for letter with the address
"Work, 1896" AS he was leaving
the Office with the letter in his
pocket, the detective pounced upon
him. He confessed, after many
denials, that soldier had sent him
to the post-office. The boy was,
therefore, released, and told to re-
turn to this man, being, of course,
followed. 1t was thus that the
writers Of the anonymous letters
were discovered to be two soldiers
of the 32ud Infantry Regiment. The
police communicated with the mill
tary authorities, who have taken the
case into their hands.

"Joe Chamberlain F"


1t is often the highest tribute to
eithr greatness or worth when a
man of distinction is known by his
shortened Christian name or by
some familiar sobriquet. Gladstone
shared this pleasant recognition
with his distinguished rival; he was
"the peoples William" Disraeli was
Dizzy" and the Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain will always be "Joe
Chamberlain" 1t would be an i'm
pertinence to gossip about the love
match that made Miss Epdicott
Mrs Joseph Chamberlain, but it is
interesting just now to recall the
fact that the union is that Of two
eminently characteristic houses.
Mrs. Chamberlain, as you know, is
descendant OF that remarkable New
England governor, John Endicott,
who was originally sent to America
by the Massachusetts, Company in
England as their agent, and was
governor of the colony that settled
in Salem in 1923. He filed many
important offices, and established a
mint without legal authority that
continued TO supply currency for
more than thirty years. He opposed
the crusade OF the Rev. John Cotton
against the wearing of wells by
ladies, and had hot personal dis
cussion with that eminent divine.
Endicott dressed luxuriously, and
wore moustache and imperial after
the French style. His portraits in
dictate man OF distinguished APP
pearanee, resolution and courage.
1t was he who sent the Episcopal
ans home to England, and after
ward cut out the cross from the
Kings standard because he con-
sidered "it savored of popery."
"This," says the historian, "was not
an act OF bravado at a safe distance
from punishment, but a matter of
conscience" He died in 1876, "a
short time before the breaking out
OF King Phillips war;" during which
his plantation was ravaged by In
dians, and his dwelling destroyed,
with all his books and papers, cir
cumstance that shrouds his early
history. 'It is said no trace of his
grave exists; but he left his name to
noble river, and the city which he
founded perpetuates it by public
square and street." says the writer OF
Landmarks Of Boston" 1t was
Endicott who planted in New Eng
land the first English daisy. This
implies an evident love of flowers,
which is genial trait of the distin-
guished English statesman who
brought to England from the city
of Massachusetts, daughter of one
