CARE OF AN OIL LAMP.

In the majority of houses where the
lamp is used It Is of the gas or cleo
trio variety, but in the few where
the old-fashioned oil lamp Is still adj
hered to a few suggestions as to its
care may not come amiss.
There is a pleasant cheeriness in the
warm, yellow glow of the oil lamp
which Is not always obtained from
the whittier light of either gas or cleo
tricity, but If Oil is the only source of
light great care should be taken IL
you would have a good light and avoid
the un~pleasantness Of smell and smoke.
To begin with, the oil receptacle must
be perfectly clean, and washing 1t in
hot soda water and drying thoroughly
before using is the best way to ac-
complish this.
Next, the part OF the lamp through
which the wick Is turned should be
taken apart and boiled In soda water
until every particle of dirt has dis
appeared. This, also, should be dried
thoroughly.
The lamp globe should be cleaned
every day with newspaper and chamois
skin, but It is better not to wash 1t.
The oil receptacle should then be
filed to within an inch OF the top. If
new wicks have to be put In they
should be turned up a bit and the I'M
even parts rubbed off. The corners of
the duplex wicks may be rounded off
with q scissors, but the circular ones
should not be cut If It is possible to
avoid 1t.

I A DIPLOMAnST. :


AS Mr.. Compton looked down at his
waistcoat he discovered that it lacked
a button. And I asked my wife to
sew 1t on more firmly, last night" he
said to his commuter neighbor In the
train. II don't see how she forgot it,"
Don't ever ask her to mend any
thing" said his friend. "I learned a
better way before I'd been married a
year. When ! want anything mended,

CARE OF A BROOM.


A broom-maker has given sugges-
lions IN how to taxi care of a broom.
This is very kind in said Mr.. Broom
maker, because it must be a very dis
interested adviser who will tell how to
make our brooms last twice as long as
the. average woman succeeds in making
them last. He says we should never
sweep ahead of US; that is, push stun
along with the broom, for this some
times results in the splints breaking
off, after which they remain uneven,
and a broom will never sweep clean
with uneven splints. He also says that
the majority of women always sweep
with the same side of the broom to
the ront. This makes the broom lop-
sided, so they can use 1t in no other
way, and the points of the spints get
Den all one way and they get together
at the ends III a not take hold Of
the dust as they should. The correct
way to use a broom is to hold the
handle vertically so that all the splints
in the face of the broom will take hold
at the same time. I'm sweeping
the broom should be swung back and
forth from a point back of the sweeper
to a point at an equal distance in
front. Yhen every day the sweeper
should turn the broom around so as to
sweep with a different side. In this
the broom wears evenly. 1
have seen brooms used In this way
which were worn almost to the bind
ing threads, but that still swept per-
fectly," the broom man says.

information. / am, very truly yours,

In the first place, / would suggest a
facial massage. which o can get at

Your skin has been thoroughly cleaned
in this way 1t will be comparatively
easy for you to avoid blackheads.
There is a little instrument that comes
Tor the removal of blackheads which
you can buy at a drugstore. Apply
this lotion, and after It's application
use the blackhead remover, care being
taken not to bruise the skin. The
lotion is made of our ounces tincture
of green soap and four n one-half
ounces of distilled witch hazel. This
should be rinsed off with warm, not
hot, water.

For the Woman Who
Has Beautiful Hair
New York Theatrical News.)

The beauties in the Ann Held chorus
are famous for the their pulchritude.
Their coiffures add a great deal to
their charms. How they can manage"
such abundance of beautiful tresses
day in and day out, keeping always
the same ~well-groomed appearance, is
beyond the ken of the average woman
But listen while l whisper, these girls
depend altogether upon dry shampoo
ing to keep their hair a and glossy.
They mix 4 ounces of powdered orris
root with 4 ounces. of theroS and they
are prepared for a seasons shampoo
ing. Once or twice a week they
sprinkle a tablespoonful of this mix
ture on the head and then brush the
powder we'll through the hair. That
Is all there is to It, n they have
escaped the bother and discomfort
that accompany washing, rinsing and
drying the hair. together with the
danger Of catching cold.
The wonderful results they achieve

MISSION OF LAUGHTER.


The pleasant power Of laughter seems
to lie entirely IN the province of the
human. 1t is the language Of child
hood, the e~loquence of youth. the power
OF manhood and the destroyer of old
age. It conqners sickness, drives away
WEAKNESS and brings dreams of sweet
ness to the sleeper. II disarms revenge,
humbles pride, and is the comrade Of
contentment. Some have called 1t
weakness. a substitute for thought;
but it is the life blood of wit. gives
language ease and expression elegance.
1t adorns wisdom and makes virtue
heavenly. Without 1t men and women
would stalk the earth like animated
ghosts.
Il am SO full of happiness" said a
little girl. that I could not be any
happier unless I could grow" Fill ed
to the brim with joy, what more has
life to give them whole-hearted hap
piness? We get II by the winning.
A laugh is a ripple OF human sunlight.
Talk happiness. The word is sad
enough,
without you woes. No path Is wholly
rough;
Talk health! The dreary. near-chang-
ing tale
OF mortal maladies Is worn and stale"
