The lamp is such a necessary article
In the home that 1t is strange 1t should
be neglected as often as it is. It re-
quires but few minutes care each
day to keep 1t in order, yet this short
time Is denied 1t by many housekeep-
ers. An ill-kept lamp is dangerous,
as well as unsightly object, and many
of the explosions of oil lamps, which
appear almost every day in the news
papers, might be traced to careless
ness in caring for the lamps. No wo-
man having the welfare of her family
at heart will willfully neglect this. very
important task. The danger of allow
ing children or even careless grewn-up
people to handle lamps cannot be over.

BRITISH B0ER WAR.

The latest information from the

has transpired. Neither party has
apparently gained any importantad-
vantage during the past week, but
on the whole, from the beginning 81
hostilities until now, the Beers have
the best Of the conflict. Although
the British have held their own, they
are accounted wOrsted, because in
their purpose Of invading the Trans
vaal they have thus far been baked.
England's army must penetrate the
eneny's country and dictate terms
of peace, anything short Of that viii
be defeat for her.
Late estimates of the strength of
the contendng armies place the
British at 10000 and the Burghers
ut 10000. Probably both forces are
exaggerated, but presuning them to
be relatively correct, the showing y

vadiug army, having lines OF COM
