to Utilize Oil Lamps to Best Advanta9e

I" HE oil lamp is used as well in
the city as the country. partly
on account of the ease with
"A which it may be moved from
place to place and stationed
Just where the light will best fall on
the book or work in hand and partly
on account OF the quality of the light
which a good oil burner gives and the
opportunity 1t offers for delightful
shades and soft. pleasing effects in
colors and designs. 1t is well known
that different colors affect both the eyes
and the spirits. Red is said to be hurt
full to the eyes, but the prettiest light
IN the world is that which comes softly
though a crimson shade. 1t is won
derfully cosy When the wind bowls
outside and the rain patters against
the windows. cheering is the influence
of a roseate light shed on table and
furniture. just tinging the walls and
touching the pictures. flushing with it's
pleasant glow lace curtains and dainty
china and bric-a-brac and calling up de-
lightful visions in spite of the wes Their.
No light. it seems, could be more con-
ducive to rest and reverie, to pleasing
fancies or comfortable repose.
Next in the list of colors comes yell
low-the deep. rich yellow of the daffo-
dill, which will food the room with a
golden glory. fairly bring mirth and
laughter to the conversat ton and i'm
part an almost joyous Brightness to the
atmosphere. One could half close the
eyes and imagine oneself reveling in a
field of danodils and sunshine.
But the colors which are best for the
eyesight are blue and green. AS to
blue, though some of the delicate tones
are dainty and charming in themselves.
yet somehow the light shed by a blue
shade is cold and depressing. Delft is
one of the prettiest things in blue,

dainty lamp I once noticed was a high.
slender, vase shaped affair with a
beautiful design in forgetmenots and
slender renaissance scrolls in gold on a
white background. The moon shaped
globe was laVishly decorated with the
same design. AS a work of art it was
simply lovely, and of course shed a
pure white light.
Green, besides being restful and ben

system, makes a most pleasing light

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and intel
lectual needs of the charges committed to
their care, but they also minister to their
bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and TO protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DIR. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from a Catholic institution in Detroit,
Mich, reads as follows:
Or. S. B. Hartman, Columbus Ohio:
Dear Sir-"They young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from IaFyngi-
It's, and Toss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief and after
further use of the medicine we hope

The young girl was under the care Of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for
catarrh of the throat with good results as

Harvesting sweet Potatoes.

A small crop OF sweet potatoes may
be thrown out by common turning
plow provided with a revolving coul-
ter or other device for cutting the
vines, but such pillow leaves many of
the tubers covered, and the labor OF
gathering them is much greater than
when special sweet potato pillow is
used, says ID. N. Nesbit. In large op-
erations ono of the most efficient Inn
plements for harvesting is the scoop
digger" which passes under the tub
ers and sewers all roots, but leaves
the plant, with vines and roots cut,
in the same position It occupied be-
fore. The tubers remain attached to
the stem and are easily and rapidly
lifted out of the ground. They are
then left to dry several hours before
gathering. In hot weather they should
not be long exposed to the sun. This
method leaves the vines uncovered,
and it is easy to gather them for
stock feeding. The tubers are sorted
in two sizes and laid carefully (not
thrown) into baskets which hold one
fifth Of a barrel. They are hauled In
these baskets to the potato house
or to the buyer at the railroad station
or steamboat landing. The small
roots are left on the field or gathered
for feeding stock. 1t is of prime i'm
portance to avoid cutting the tubers
in digging or bruising them after
wards by rough handling.
The yield of sweet potatoes varies
widely according to variety, quality
of land, season, fertilizers, culture,
etc. Under favorable conditions, in
check planting a barrel Of primes
from 100 hills is a good yield, or a
barrel from 1875 plants Is inches apart
in a row. In a good crop there may
be a barrel Of seconds to every bar.
rels Of primes, more or less, according
to the method of sorting. Extremes
of yield go far above and drop as far
below the figures here given.
1t will be understood that only
sweet potatoes of good quality for
table use are referred to in this esti
mate. Some of the coarser varieties
used for stock feeding, or even the
finer varieties grown in rich land
where they are apt to be deficient in
quality, may be expected to yield 40C
or 500 bushels per acre.
