The House Lights.

r T is real economy to know how to get
best results from artificial lights,
whether electricity. gas or kerosene
is used. If electricity is used. there is
considerable saving by having each light
placed to reflect its brilliancy. Conven-
lent switches for turning off the light
save many dollars in years time Usu-
ally two lights are placed in a dining
room. each thirty-two candlepower,
though often but one need be used.
Place the bathroom lights on each side
Of the mirror. A dining room light should
be directed downward, necessitating a
dome. A kitchen light should be located
to light the stove and work table. A
great convenience is to have long cord
attached, that the light may easily be
moved about the room. The stairway
light may be a dim one. and should be
controlled at the top OF the steps within
reach of children. A bedroom light
switch should be placed at the door.
Gas fixtures should be so placed that
there will be no danger of curtain or
drapery coming in contact with the
lights" Mantle burners produce better
lights. and the inverted styles protect the
ceilings and save gas 1t is not SO often
poor gas, as poor burners, that Is the
cause of a dim light. The lava or metal
tips of gas fixtures, particularly the
former, become clogged quite readily, and
at once affect the size and quality of the
flame. AS these tips are very inexpen-
sive, it is always worth while to expert
ment with their renewal before complain
ing of the quality Of the gas.
When all is said and done, nothing is
better than a kerosene lamp on the read
ing table in winter. Kerosene lamps
should be low, with a wide solid base
Metallic lamps are best, for they are not
easily toppled over. The tank can be re-
moved and cleaned without moving the
lamp. Banquet lamps are dangerous. and
all lamps on slender stems and small
base are easily upset. Bowl lamps are
very satisfactory.
1t matters not what you pay for a
lamp it must be kept clean. No char
should ever be allowed to accumulate, for
this absorbs grease and is liable to cause
an explosion. A lamp with a small
quantity of oil in the tank is liable TO
explode, and one with a tank too full
may catch fire around the neck. Wicks
are too cheap to excuse the use of one
that is oil-soaked and pad smelling.

an ordinary argument. told them to
move on and keep off his post.
But the man who had insisted he was

the patrolman. his eyes staring wildly
and the muscles of his face working
convusively. Just as Randolph was
about to shove him along the man
blurted out:

When asked why he had told the po-
lice earlier in the day that his wife
had killed herself while he was away
from his home at work. Stoger said he
had been advised 10 do so, but that
afterward he determined to accept the
consequences OF his act, and after
stopping at various saloons started 10

meeting and leave il 10 them whether
Sulzer is championing a moral issue or
whether he is simply playing cheap

ers he did not know whether he would
attend the Carnegie Hall meeting or
not.
