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.
there are so many styles and sizes of
lamps that it is not difficult to find just
what is wanted in that line. 4
medium-sized lamp is preferable to a
very large or a very small one for gen.
eral use. 4 glass bowl is better than
a metal one. for there is little danger
of running it over when it 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 it 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 a 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 bolted to the floor.
Having secured n lamp that is salts
factory, little intelligent care will
enable you to secure good results from
it. Fill the bowl with oil every morn
ing if it has been used the night Le-
fore and clean the flues until they are
bright and shining. Trim the wick,
cutting the charred 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 a
new burner. Keep the wick turned
low when not lighted to prevent tine oil
from oozing out over the top.-Western
Housekeeper.

Whales Once Land Animals.

Professor Boyd Dawkins says that
whales once lived on land, and by long
usage to swimming had their claws
converted into paddles.

my fathers favorite sports, which n
young man named Bacon shared en-
Enthusiastically with him, few evenings
later they started out to try the new
dog.
A full moon shed n mild radiance
over the forest and enabled them to
note the actions of the dog, and in a
very short time he had an animal of
some kind up big tree which stood
alone in an opening in the woods, and
as Bacon was a famous climber, up
the tree he went and soon made out
the dark figure among the limbs above
him, but as he approached the creature
1t climbed higher and higher until, at
the very top, it turned and greeted
its pursuer with deep warning growl
Dan stopped climbing, and in a tone
of voice which trembled in spite of
himself. he called out: "It is wildcat,
Mr.. Belknap."
well, cut a club and knock him off ="
replied my father.
D. Cutting and trimming a linz of the
tree to make a suitable weapon, Dan
slowly crawled up toward the brute
which finally took refuge in the top
most tuft of branches, and slowly and
carefully raising the club above the
limbs above his head, where he could
have full sweep for the blow, he struck
with all his might, and-never touched
him.
Right out into the air the cat sprang
as it saw the club coming, and so pow
erful was its jump that the limbs of
the tree were cleared entirely. and
with a resoundlng tnump it struck the
ground at quite. Il distance from the
foot of the tree, and to my fathers
amazement sprang TO itc feet and ran
like a blue streak for another tree.
The Cog happened 20 De at the other
side of the tree. and the cat was en-
abled to get quite a start i'll its new
race, but so swift was tn dogs pursuit
that the cat was overtaken ere the tree
was reached, when, whirling suddenly,
the brute sat up and with open paws
outstretched waited The onset. Know
ing nothing OF the dogs fighting quail
let him entirely alone and note the re-
suit. Coming with rush, and bark
ing furiously, the dog dashed almost
into the cats face, but stopping just
short of the cats grasp, as its paws
snapped together like the jaws of a
steel trap, backed away a few STEPS
and repeated the threatening maneu-
ver.
Again the cats paws snapped 90
gether lust in front of the dogs nose.
Again and again waG this repeated
until the cat appeared TO think that
the dog was not really al earnest and
omitted TO slap its jaws together
Again the dog backed away, and this
time the jump was in earnest. Once
inside the guard of the wildcat he seized
it across the chest, and that eat was

could not then have been bol ght for

In long days ago. in Western Iowa,
my old friend Jim Files found a stray
dog at his door one morning, and as he
was what Jim called ''sech an ornery
lookin' brute" Jim deliberated quite
u while before finally accepting him.
1t was in the fall of the year. and as
Jim went for his cows down in the bot
tom land below the house. the dog fol-
lowed at his heels, and reaching the
edge of what had been shallow pond
in the spring, small rattlesnnke
colled suddenly in front of them, in n
dried up pit where n COW had some
time stepped in the mud, leaving n de-
preston five or six inches deep. Its coil
was completely hidden. leaving the
head and n few inches of the neck
raised theateningly above the surface.
while it ratified Il warning defiance
against all comers.
The dog sprang forward TO attack.
and though 1t was apparent that the
snake had every advantage, Jim stood
quietly watching, as he afterwards
said. "jest to see what the little cuss
would do
Approaching within n Jew feet the
dog stopped, and cooking his small
head to one side for Il moment, studied
the problem. Walking slowly around
he now circled the snake. just beyond
his reach, but so close as to engage
all the reptiles attention. and as 1t
strove to be in continuous readiness for
the dogs attack, and as round and
round the dog continued TO walk. In n
short time the snake seemed to grow
dizzy, and its head began TO wobble
from side to side, when, quick ms n
flash, the dog jumped in and inserting

mouth as he came down, SHOOK him to

made to lay hold of anything. When
ever he could be indu 'ed to seize hold
of another animal he always shut his
eyes first 05 he took hold ana kept
them tightly shut until he let go.
Jim was hunting along the bank of
the river one day wit both dogs along,
when he saw an otter swimming In the
river, and promptly put rifle ball into
him, aiming at the head.
Yhe otter was hard hit, and though

The breakfast Room.

Ine break1asU hOOms
No breakfast room is so coZy as the
one which contains a well appointed
and well stocked desk in the sunniest
window ready to turn to for the imme-
diate answering of the mail which has
been perused at breakfast. English
women who understand the art of let
ter and note writing better than any
women in the world, follow this plan,
and have certain other customs which
come under the class of letter writing
made easy.
Letter paper is bought by the guam
tity, stamps are bought by the hundred
and pens by the gross, any of which
outlay would be considered an unheard
of extravaganza by the ordinary Amer
lean woman, who buys her writing ma
terials in driblets that are small and
stingy as compared with her lavish ex-
penditures in other directions.

they seem absolutely powerless to stop

Nature has a way of destroying a

that it contains no nourishment.

The published statements of num-
