Mary Must Not Marry Marx.

A curious idea among the Burmese
Of the week must not marry and that
If they defy the fateS their union will
be marked by much Ill luck. To pre-
vent these disa"trous marriages every
girl carries a record of her birthday
in her name, each day of the week hav-
ing a letter belonging to it, and all
children are called by name that
begins with that letter. 1t is rather
hard if the Marys and Marks of Burma
fail in love with each other, as in this
country. Unlike other oriental lands,
the young people are allowed to marry
as taste dictates, subject only to the
birthday restrictions.

HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENTS
WITH KEROSENE LAMPS.


The two great and very real
dangers in connection with
lamps are dirt and carelessness,
and to, these two causes are at
tributed most lamp accidents.
. Lamps with metal reservoirs are
safer than those of glass or Chi
) ma, as the former, il upset, can
be picked up and replaced be-
) fore the oil can escape. OF course
the oil used must be of good
; quality.
There is no saving, but some
waste and some danger in poor
oil. Bad oil clogs the wick and
the burner, besides giving off an
unpleasant and very dirty yapor.
Never turn down a lamp. 1t is
meant to burn with the flame at
full height. and when allowed to
smolder in this way it will either
smoke or smell and most GER
taiuly heat rapidly and become a
distinct source of danger.
An alcohol lamp should always
be placed in a shallow dish, as
it is liable to run out on table or
dresser and ignite. Never keep
the alcohol bottle near the light
ed lamp. Do not pour fresh alco-
hol into the tank if there is burn
ing char on it, for the entire con-
tents may burst into flames.

How to Make chiIdren's euimpes.

An easy way of canning cherries and
way which preserves much Of the
beauty of the cherries is to bottle
them after they have been washed,
