How to Keep Lamps in Order.

Clamps need more attention than
any other means of light, and yet
many women know but little about
thu best method of treating them. II
lamp chimneys are cleaned with a
cloth that has been dipped into alco-
hol, instead of soap and water, the re-
suit is better; and if the wicks are
soaked in strong vinegar and thor
oughly dried before being used, there
will be no smoke. The burners will
inevitably become clogged in the
course Of time, and ought to be treat
ed to 10-minutes' boiling in a quart
OF water in which an ounce Of wash
ing soda has been dissolved, and
thereafter rubbed with cotton
cloth, when they will become as good
as new. This operation ought to be
repeated every month" -Exchange.

MADE HEIR 10 A THRONE.
SON OF Queen Victoria's Fourth Son
Il in Line. Through Sew
eral RenOuncements.

Queen Victoria's sons have inherited
from their father, the prince consort, a
petty principality and throne in Ger
many. This is SaXe-Coburg and Gotha,
a duchy with u territory OF about 75U
square Observation-Disclosures of the area
of Rhode lsland-and a population ex-
ceeding 100000. It is not stronghold
of power and influence, but a good deal
Of money goes with it, and makes it
worth while to keep it in the family.
The prince of Wales renounced his
rights to the duchy because he was heir
to the English throne. The duke of
Edinburgh accepted the inheritance,
but he has no son to succeed him. The
duke of Connaught was the next in
line, but he and his son have renowned
their rights. The heir to the throne is
the son of the late duke of Albany, the
queens fourth son.
He is a schoolboy, in his fifteenth
year, and has no prospects in England.
He will now go to Germany to finish his
education, and will cease to be an Eng
lish prince. He will owe allegiance to
the German emperor, and VIII probably
serve his time in the army.
The inheritance has b>1n arranged
by Queen Victoria, whose will is law
in the English royal family. She has
provided for one of her favorite grand
sons snug and comfortable little
throne on the continent, where he will
have little to do, and where his income
will be large.-Youth's Companion.

came from New Orleans. He was q

procured a number of uncut stones

CUTE IN LEGAL LOGIC
Mrs. Anzonetti Larned Files
Peculiar Petition.
IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Puts Mr. WITCH, Plaintiff, on
the Defense.

Down at Caldwell, Kan, there is music
She has lived there for the past eight
years, and in that time besides teaching
music she incidentally sold pianos and
musical Instruments for one j. A. C. Wick,
who. in the main made his headquarters at
Wichita. Mrs. Anzonetti Larned was a
good music teacher and a good saleswo-
man and drove many a bargain to her own
profit and the profit Of Mr.. Wick. But
one day Mr.. Wick got out of sorts and
had some trouble with Mrs Larned over
a sale and contract The quarrel pro-
crossed and the difficulty grew till Mr.
Wick finally brought suit against Mrs
Larned for libel on the ground that she
had furnished his reputation and damag-
ed his business very materially by calling
him a drunkard. The case was filed in
the Sedgwick county district court.
Yesterday Mrs. Anzonetti Larned came
back with an answer in which she en-
ployed what might be called very cute
logic and a statement which bordered on
genuine humor. She said that she had
called Mr.. Wick drunkard and profit
gate. She admitted that in saying this she
might have been untruthful. She could
not swear that Mr.. Wick was drunk. but
she would take an oath that he acted like
a drunken man. She had not seen him
take what she knew by taste was forty
rod nor had she personally came into
direct contact with Mr.. Wick's breath,
and therefore had not experienced that
he was drunk. But she said that he had
on several occasions acted as a drunken.
man, and if he wasn't he had deceived her
and she was entitled to damage on the
theory OF fraud and Misrepresentation
and she prays the court for damages and
costs in the case.

ment and new constructions of legal juris-
prudence viii watch the outcome.
