CARE OF OIL LAMPS.
How They should He Handled TO Secure
Good Light.

II il not necessary to enlarge upon
the discomforts caused by lamp that
is irregularly filled and improperly
cared for Such lamp, redolent of the
fumes Of kerosene, is u most unpleasant
and unwholesome object. Good lamps
hre cheap. and there is no excuse for
using poor one. 1t is generally CON
coded that the softness of lamplight is
much greater than that of gas or cleo
tricity. The lamp has now an establish
cd place on the library table, even in
houses lighted by electricity or gas,
while IL IL certainly the general depend
enoe Of country houses
The most essential thing in securing
a good light from lamp is cleanliness.
Keep the oil in a close can OF bucket,
where dust cannot reach it. Keep the
tounts Of the lamp and all parts of the
tubes that hold the wicks, as well as
the burners, clean. A stiff little brush,
abundance Of clean cloths kept for the
purpose and bottle |Of alcohol should
be on hand TO clean lamps. A few drops
Of alcohol is better than water and
soap for Frightening the chimneys and
removing the oily SCOT that accumulates
on them and around the burners. Polish
the chimney with n soft cotton cloth.
Brush the burner and all parts Of the
lamp free from bits of wick and dust.
Wipe all crevices and do not tolerate
any lamp which contains convolutions
Of metal OF porcelain that cannot be
properly and easily cleaned out. Kero-
sene oil, even of the best quality, is all
penetrating. 1t forms a film even on
the outside Of metal founts. This must
be- daily removed.
The best way to trim a lamp wick, as
every one now knows, is to remove only
the charred portion Of it without using
the scissors II this Is DONE there will
be 10 danger of the wick being uneven.
Lamps III regular use should have the
charred part of the wick removed at
least three times week. All lamps
should he wiped off and filed daily. No
burners should be allowed to become in
crusted with dust and oil, and they will
not get IN this condition if they are at
tended to every day.
The best way Of putting out lamp
or OIL stove Is 90 turn the wick down
until IL shows only blue flame, when
this fame will flicker short time and
finally go out BY this process one
avoids the unpleasant odor which ac-
companies the blowing out of IA lamp.
This odur is caused by a gas which is
| consumed when the lamp is turned
down 30 blue flame and allowed TO go
out by itself New York Tribune.

Circumstances are still much in the
habit of altering cases. 1t is said that a
Yorkshire socialist was explaining TO a
friend the principles of his belief, and
that he made the statement at the outset
that all possessions should be shared
equally
IF you had two horses" said the
friend, would you give me one2"
"Of course, said the socialist.
And if you had two cows, would
you do the same?"
"Of course should"
"Well, suppose now, said the friend
slowly, THAT you had two pigs, would
you give mo one of themr"
"Eh, tha's gettin over near home, 4"
said the other slyly. "Tha knows I've
got two pigs, youths Companion.

STUMP PENCILS MAscors.

exchange are as superstitious as "a lot of
sailors. II you don't believe 1t, you look
at the lead pencils they are using the

Gil is 'hoodoo' of the worst kind.
They always cut new pencil in half
before they sharpen it. Some Of these
pencils acquire the reputation Of being
lucky.
LESS than a week ago came down
without my pencil, which, by the way,
is lucky one-every memorandum
made with that pencil results in profit
for me-and borrowed one from a
friend on the floor. He handed me a
stump about an inch long and said,
You can use that; it's lucky pencil.
Sure enough, made two deals in
the morning, and each netted me q
handsome profit.
II was about to make a tneinoran-
dunn Of some stock had bought when
my friend approached and said:
Here, take this pencil and LET me
have mine again. I've lost on every
deal since / loaned it TO you.
Sure enough, lost on that deal. and
the luck went back 10 the owner of tn,
pencil.

MARKE 7 LISTLESS.
Prices Went Up and Down With
out Apparent Cause.
Certain Favored Stocks Were Notably
Firm-Larga Operators Had Little
Share in the Trading.

New York. Feb. 26.-The stock market
was listless and without decided tone
today. The net changes are in most
cases trivial, and the market moved UP
and down. within narrow range. Lon
don buying gave slight upward i'm
petus at the opening, and then profit
taking by yesterdays buyers drove
prices below last nights level. The
close was above the lowest, but net
changes were much mixed.
The course Of prices was unsettled and
conflicting in the final dealings, some
stocks moving upward and others down
ward simultaneously. and apparently
without manipulation The whole Of the
trading was by small room traders.
Large operators were content to stand
by for the present and watch the course
of things. Some few stocks were not
ably firm Ill day, such as the Reading
and Erie issues, Northern Pacific pre-
ferred and some of the southern and
southwestern roads Canadian Pacific
also ruled higher The bank statement
was weak. but without particular et-
feet as to the conditions disclosed, which
had made themselves felt during the
week The heavy decrease in Goans was
due to liquidation, but probably does not
fully measure it, as the loans whlch
nave been called in part are replaced IN

There was nothing so far as the evidence Of
the senses went which could account for the
racket; The woman Put out the light and
went back to bed. The noise was not re-

Six months afterward, however, the
woman was in San Francisco, and for the
first time in her life, and solely out of GU
