Of the smallness Of the sum subscribed
he declined, and Thorwaldsen was

0entIer Living.

Professor Abram S. Issacs has 9
charming essay in The North American
Review for July, under the alluring title
"Gentler Living" He examines condi.
tions in all lines of activity-literature,
education, art, the stage, the church
and finds exaggeration and strain in
them all. He says:
1.-THE remedy is an ethical one-the
virtue of humility needs to be more
generally taught and practiced, with
other oid-fashioned qualities, self-con-
troll, modesty, living within ones means
and station, and a certain feeling Of
obligation to a Higher Power for the
right use of our faculties and opportuni-
ties. There must be balance wheels to
keep us in check-and righteous living
Is otherwise impossible. Our country's
real assets are less the product of the
mines or the produce OF the fields than
the character of its citizens, and to
evolve its finer, more genuine and more
lasting elements is not q question of law,
but of individual choice. You cannot
legislate for the gentler life. It must be
taught and practised In the home, ct
school, on the platform and at public
worship"

How to Care Tor Lamps.

How to Care for Lamps.
The lamps should first be collected
| from every room and all put together on
large tray in the kitchen. Then q big
wooden box is brought out, which con-
tains greasy cloths, soft cloths, pair of
old gloves, wick rags, scissors, chamois
leather and chimney cleaners. Opinions
are divided as to whether wick should
be cut or rubbed down. would recon-
mend combination Of ways. Rub 1t
down With bit of rag (which should be
burned and not put back in the box) and
then any stray ends of cotton cut on
with scissors. Great care should be
taken to hold the burner we'll away from
the lamp when the wick Is rubbed down,
otherwise the charred portions are apt
to fall on to it.
Once a month the burners should be
boiled. Remove the wicks, then place
the whole of the burner-frst releasing
its various portions from one another
in a saucepan of water with little soda,
and bring to a boil. Twenty to thirty
minutes boiling will make the burners
as bright as ever they were, and should
any black still adhere 1t can be removed
with hatpin, after which the burner Is
boiled up again. OF course saucepan
must be kept specially for this, and it
should be either plainly marked or kept
away from other culinary utensils, as
food cooked in 1t would be unpleasantly
favored. The burners must be thor
oughly dried and, if possible, put in the
sun for few minutes. Meanwhile the
wicks must have been seen to. If very
dirty they should be washed out in clean
suds, but usually a thorough drying In
the sun or in a warm kitchen will put
them in condition for burning properly.
1t is extremely important that they
should be perfectly dry before being put
| back into the oil.
Daily cleansing of every lamp in use
should be as much part of the house
wife's duties as making the beds.
Another precaution to take to prevent
wicks from smoking is to boil them.
Buy them in punches, place in a porce-
lain kettle, cover with strong vinegar,
bring the latter to a boil and set where
the kettle will keep warm for three
hours. Drain out the wicks, dry thor
oughly and keep away from dust. Wicks
thus soaked almost never smoke.
If chimneys are bought in quantity
and boiled, they also may be prevented
in a great measure from breaking. Lay
some sbavings in the bottom of wash
boiler, pack in the chimneys, throw q
handful of salt over them and fill with
cold water. Allow to come to boil
slowly, simmer for two hours, then take
from the fire; cover thickly, 80 that they
will be at least three hours in cooling.
When cold, wash the chimneys in hot
water, in which a little soda has been
dissolved. Rinse in hot water, dry and
store in closet. Chimneys should also
be washed in hot soda water.-McCall's.
