CARE OF LAMPS.
How to Clean and Fill Them Easily
and Properly.

How to Clean and Fill Them Easily
and Properly.
Lamps, like crate fires. are still adj
mired for their picturesque qualities
despite the modern luminaries of gas
and electricity.
To clean a lamp one buster is neces-
sary for the stand and one for the
chimney and globe, a lamp mop. an old
pair of gloves, soft tissue paper. oil
filler. oil and a little bristle brush.
Lamps should always be attended by
daylight to avoid accidents. The nate
rails should be kept apart or account
of the odor of the oil. For this reason
it Is wise to spread a piece of oilcloth
OF the table. says the Rochester Her
aid.
Proceed with the cleaning in this Or

dust and polish chimney. using a wool
en- chimney mop or a stick with a pad
of chamois leather at the end; third.
remove and dust the frame: fourth,
dust and brush any charred bits off
the deflector; fifth, rub the top surface
Of the wick with paper to remove the
charred particles and leave 1t even.
turning the wick up just above the
level Of the burner while attending
to it. afterward lowering it to prevent
the oil from oozing out; sixth. fill the
reservoir to within half an inch from
the top, adding a lump of salt the size
OF a walnut. as this produces a better
light; seventh. wipe the oil from the
burner with paper until quite free
from grease; eighth, If the stand IS Of
brass, polish it with a buster. washing
it occasionally with sour milk, lemon
juice or vinegar and water; If of
bronze, rub it with a little vaseline.
then polish it with a duster: If of chi
ma. it may be cleaned with soap and
water.
If kept carefully busted, chimneys
require only occasional washing. For
this purpose put a little ammonia IL
the water, not s%oapsuds, and allow the
chimneys to drain until dry, as drying
with a cloth causes a daubed appear
ance.
Half an inch air space should always
be allowed at the top of the reservoir
to allow for expansion Of the oil when
heated and to prevent the oil from
oozlng through the mouth Of the reser-
voir. The oil should be poured from
an oil filler.
Occasionally the burner should be al
lowed to boil in a little soda water,
then rubbed clean and dried with a
soft cloth.

How to Clean Curtains.


Take down the curtains, shake and
brush well, getting out all the dust
from the gathers. tuting, etc. Prepare
a quantity Of good wheat bran. put it
into a large pan and place before a
fire to dry, stirring with the hands
frequently. Afterward, if the curtains
are Of silk, mix with the bran an
ounce or more of finely powdered
indigo blue. Provide several pieces of
clean flannel. Spread the curtains. a
piece at a time, on the table and
sprinkle with bran. a handful at q
time. Next. with a bit of flannel. rub
the bran round and round on the
material, letting it rest before brush
ing off. AS you proceed take clean
bran and flannel, and the curtains will
become much frightened and i'm
proved in appearance. says Woman's
Life. If glazed chintz curtains are
often cleaned in this way they will
not require washing for 4 long time.
They eve look the same after being
washed.

How to Transfer Pictures.

Take a small. cheap brush and a lit

the picture you wish to transfer with
the turpentine and blot with a blotter.
SO that the ink will not run. Turn the

wish to transfer it to and rub the en-
tire surface quite hard with a smooth
instrument. and the transfer is com
plete. 1t can be transferred on fabric

How to Fit Shoes For Comfort.

People would find less difficulty with
ready made shoes. says an experienced
salesman, if they would stand up to
fit them on instead Of sitting down.
Nine persons out Of ten, particularly
women, want a comfortable chair
while they are fitting a shoe. and it is
with the greatest difficulty that you
can get them to stand for a few min
utes, even when the shoe Is fitted.
Then when they begin walking about
they wonder why the shoes are not
so comfortable as they were at the
first trial. A woman's foot is con-
siderably smaller when she sits in a
chair than when she walks about.

WILL THE COUNCIL ACT?

Five serious runaways, three of
them In less than thirty minutes
time. and at least two Of them d.
rectly traceable TO waste paper, Ia
the local record for yesterday.
Two men were driving spirited
horse along upper Polk street last
evening; a street car was running
parallel with them; gust OF wind
blew some waste paper, the horse
SHE'D directly In front OF the car,
one man was saved from death OF
serious injury by his presence OF
mind, the other by being dragged
by the horse.
That these men we're saved from
death or permanent injury is little
short OF miraculous, And all OF this
happened on Polk street--Polk
street, the city's pride and principal
business street.
Civic pride alone should keep the
city streets free from the disgrace
full state that makes such mishaps
possible. But when lives and prop
erty are endangered, neglect OF this
kind is nothing short of criminal
carelessness

which which the Republicans are
probably preparing to ask the people
when they clamor before the next

the men who have thus squandered

Congress will end It's session this
week, and 1t is high time when the
sum total OF the appropriations is

greatly exceed the possible revenues

plus has been justly regarded as the

A number OF the speakers at last
nights meeting emphasized the fact
that Amarillo has the best prospect
OF making large and important
commercial and industrial center.
In fact It took but few moments
for those men who have themselves
been instrumental in building a city
to arrive at the conclusion that our
advantages as a city are far better
than any they saw in the course OF
their entire itinerary. These were
the expressions of men who meant
what they said; they realize that in
Amarillo they would soon have a
competitor, yet they were candid
enough to tell the truth though II
might adversely affect their own in
teTests.
