One evening at dinner Jean Ingelow
confessed that though she had often
written poems about nightingales, she
had never heard one sing. Every one
commented on this as extraordinary,
and we agreed that a poetess' imagina-
ton was a marvellous gift, but we de-
termined that not another night should
pass without remedying this grievious
omission. It was in May, and about
8 o'clock we led forth Miss Ingelow
to the lime avenue, where the night
ingales were singing in scores-we all
held our breath to listen as one after

royal families of Europe.
Not long since the Sultan Of Turkey
presented German prince with four
splendid white Arabian horses and a

Care OF Lamps.
A great many people injure their eyes
by reading or working with a poor
light. Kerosene lamps should give a
clear, steady light and emit no odor.
rhere are SO many styles and sizes Of
lamps that It is not difficult to find just
what is wanted In that line. A
medium-sized lamp Is preferable to q
very large or a very small one for gen
eral use. A glass bowl is better than
metal one, for there Is little danger
OF running it over when 1t is being
filed.
Some lamps have an opening near
the centre on top, so the burner need
not be removed for filling. Be sure
the base Is large and heavy enough
to keep 1t from turning over easily.
Get the best grade OF burners, for
there is more difference in durability
and quality Of light given than there
Is in price. Be sure the wick fits and
do not sew or pin the new wick on to
the old one. The wick acts as sort
Of pump. and there should be nothing
to interrupt the flow OF OIL
The tall standard lamps in such
common use are dangerous, unless the
base is boited to the floor.
Having secured lamp that is salts
factory, little intelligent care will
enable you to secure good results from
It. Eli the bowl with oil every morn
ing IL II has been used the night be-
fore. and clean the fiues until they are
bright and shining. Trim the wick,
cutting the eharred portion Off with
sharp scissors even with the top OF the
tube. The burners are apt to become
gummy and clogged. and cannot give
a good light In that condition. Put
them In strong suds one a week and
boil them ten or fifteen minutes. Polish
with dry flannel and it will be like
new burner. Keep the wick turned
low when not lighted. to prevent the oil
from oozing out over the top.-Western
