LAMPS AND CANDLES.

There IL an Art In the Managing Of
Them.
The most effective cleansing sub
stance for the containers and wick ap
paratus consists Of ordinary wood ash.
This has a peculiar effect upon petro-
leum, crystal and other oils Of the same
kind. Rub the ashes we'll all over the
pg-ts that require cleaning and polish
on wipe it Off with a clean, soft cloth.
This Is a very simple method and obvi-
ates the use of water, which may prove
serious difficulty especially If the OPP
orator is not very particular as regards
the drying process This treatment
should not, however, entirely do away
with periodical boiling Of the differ.
ent parts of the lamp with strong soda,
but the regular use of wood ash should
make the washing a last resource and
an altogether rare necessity.
The strictest cleanliness in every dc.
tail concerning lamps is Of the greatest
Importance not only to insure good
light free from SMELL but also as a pre-
ventive against danger. Odd bits Of
wick allowed TO collect anywhere near
the fame, for instance, are objection
able from every point Of view.
Lamps that are but rarely used should
not be left with the wick to become sat
urated through contact with the oil.
The best plan is to empty the container,
clean it as above, dry the wick If it is
new, and put IL aside in box, into
which dust cannot penetrate, till it is
wanted again.
For these days, when candles are so
much used, IL is we'll to know that there
is an art in choosing them. They should
burn brightly, steadily, and without
Pickering, yet at the same time dwin-
die away as slowly as possible The can
die that cutters is TO be avoided as ex-
travagant and worthless. The best of
all are those which are partially hol-
lowed out, so that If the fame is ex-
posed to a draft the melted wax runs
down the inside. A thin, close wick
will always burn better than q thick
one. One of the cleverest contrivances
adapted to candles is a metal automatic
extinguisher It can be fixed to any re-
quired depth of the candle, say one inch,
more or less, and as soon as that guam
tity has burned away two metal rings
close over the flame and effectually put
it out. Something of the kind has al
ready been seen, but the newer patent
is much more practical, from the very
fact that it can be fixed to any part of
the candle instead of being placed in the
candle holder, for in the latter case it
could not act until the illuminant had
quite burned down, when the extin-
guisher was obviously of doubtful util-

tute within the church membership, as
an added incentive to activity The
newly organized social settlement IN
