careful kions win-) Keeps Her lamp
'1'riintugcl and Steady.
It is not an uncommon "thing for
*women who are fastidious in ()tiler
meetere to pay little or no atten-
tion to lamps except to fill them
;when necessary and trim the wicks
when they bscone uneven.
Lamps should lee kept perfectly
clean on the inside as well as oil
the outside. They s9touid be care-
fully exam:necl and LIled each morn-
ing, and tviten necessary, cleaned
out and trimmed. The burner Of a
lamp should be especially look-
ed after, but this is the part most
often neglected. The fine Boles in
It, or the "gauze," through w'elcii the
air is admitted to the flames should
be kept entirely free from ell and
dust. The little machinery which
nov.ee the wick up and down must
also be cleaned out when necessary.
If the lamp is a large brass lamp
with a tube for ventilation running
clear through the fount to the
burner, so that the air ascends to
the wick freim beneath, be careful
to examine this specs., for It is like-
ly to become choked with dust and
burned off particles of the wick.
If the wick needs trimming, take
a r'atelt of smooth bit of wood and
gently rub it over the edge of the
:wick, after turning the wick down
until the metal tube bolding it is
on a line with the lower edge of
the burned out, crusty rim of the
Peck. The metal tube acts as a
guide for the hand, thus making
the trimming even.
Whether or not lamps need clean-
ing and trimming, they should be
filled with oil every day, Tbey burnt
Metter when the fount is full of oil.
When the inside of the fount is found
to have a sediment, the residue of
oil .should be Poured out and thrown
away, and strained and used for
other household purposes, such as
cleaning mouldy or damp woodveorlc
in the cellar or in the comibination
with boiling water and soap for
cleaning the iron sink in the kitchen.
0ee only the beat and' clearest oil
for lamps. Cheap kerosene often gives
forth unpleasant odors and does not
burn brightly;.
Never leave a lamp `turned low. It
creates gas and uses up as =oh '0!1
as when it burns brightly!. If it ig
necessary; to have a lamp during the
night in a (sick room u'se a &ivy, night
lamp and burn it at full force.
In a country house where a large
dumber of lamps are used, it is 'bet-
ter 'to keep them in a. little claret
by themselves than to expose them
on a shelf in the kitchen, where
they are sure to collect dust!, I

INTOXICATED WASPS.
Wasps have.a great fondness for over-
ripe fruit, especially pears, plums, and
sweet apples. The sugar of these fruits
has a tendency to pass into a kind of
alcohol, in the ordinary process of rot-
ting, and after imbibing large quanti-
ties of this liquid the wasps become out-
rageously intoxicated. Tbey crawl away
in the grass in a semi -somnolent con-
dition and remain till the effects have
passed off, when they will go at it
again. It is while in this condition that
they do their worst stinging. A person
receiving a sting from one of these in-
toxicated wasps will suffer severely
from nerve poisoning for clays.

Place, adds lila testimony to that of
the thousands who have proved
that Dodd's Kidney Pilincure
promptly and permanently any form
or stage of Kidney Disease. Mr. Har-
rison says;
"Some years ago I began to suffer
from pain in the back, accompanied
by a lethargy iinp!oesible to over-
come. I was attended by a phyele-
lan. but continued to grow worse,
and began to pass bloody urine.
"On the advice of al friend I started
using Dodd's Kidney Pills, and by the
time I bad taken one box I passed
a stone welch is nowin the doctor's
proeseasion.
" Three boxes of Dodd's Kidney
cured me completely, and though it
is now years since i was cured I
have bad no return of any com-
plaint."
Dodd's Kidney Pills cure the Kid-
neys, and with sound kidneys you
need never fear urinary complaints.

Present Popularity of the Walking Stick.
For the past few years walking sticks
have been more generaly used by the
gentlemen of the frock coat. They will,
however, be seen on all occasions during
the spring and summer season. The well
groomed man carries his walking stick to
business for service all through the day,
and the man who spends but a few hours
about the business district of town like-
wise leaus on his stack.
Some are of white walnut,stained with
acid to thes taste of the owner, Eng-
lish furze is very popular, as are like:,
wise the Madagasear and cherry. Part-
ridge wood and the piniienta are sought,
and oak is always in demand. It would
be quite impossible to say what style
of handle is most favored. Each is good
if not clumsy in treatment. Thorough-
breds carry the cane Ior service rather
than to whirl in the hand.

ABSENT TREATMENT.
Row a Baby Was "Treated" at 000 -
Mile Range.
A young mother left her baby with
her obliging mother-in-law one night, in
order to attend the wedding of a rela-
tive who lived in a town about a hen -
tied miles distant. The young woman,
. ippareetly free from all family cares,
spent an enjoyable evening; but just
as the newly -wedded couple were pre•
psirng to depart on the midnight train,
an expression of acute anxiety flashed
across the young mother's countenance.
"Oh, George!" she exclaimed, clutch-
ing her husband's arta, "there was one
thing that I forgot to tell your mother
to do for the baby, and he'll never go to
sleep without it. You must go right out
and Bond her a telegram."
"Nonsense," said George; "this isn't
the first baby she's taken care of."
"But, George, she'll never think of
doing just the right thing, and the baby
is so perfectly trained that he won't
accept any substitute, I know he's
crying hard at this very minute,"
She was right. A hundred miles away
a weary grandmother was at her wit's
end because she could think of nothing
that would pacify a wailing infant who
was most wretchedly sleepy yet utterly
unable to go to sleep. She was pacing
wearily back and forth in the nursery
to the accompaniment of her grandson's
howls when the door -bell rang and her
daughter-in-law's telegram arrived. Tear-
ing it open, the tired, perplexed grand-
mother read:
`Lay baby on his stomach in the
crib."
Two minutes later the baby, adjusted
to his liking, was sound asleep.—Gordon
Watson Rankin, in Leslie's Monthly for
May.

A BIT OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
"There's a mint of money waiting for
the man—or the woman—who will in-
vent a sock that won't wear out," said
the man with an economical turn of
mind. "I can't afford to buy a new pair
of socks every time my toes poke a hole
through a sock, and 1 hate to have my
wife spend most of her time darning for
me."
"I am worse off than you," declared
the economical man's unmarried friend.
"for I've got no wife to darn for me.
"But," he went on, "I've found a way to
snake my socks last more than what you
might call their normal life. It's simple
enough. Don't wear the same sock on
the same foot more than one day at a
time. Put to -day's left sock on the right
foot to -morrow, and so on.
"I've been astonished at the amount
of extra wear I've got out of my socks
by this easy method. It has saved me
,many a darning bill at the laundry, and
if you will try it, your wife will Stave
less darning to do."

NEW STORIES ABOUT BISMARCK.
There are many stories of Bismarck's
valet, Pinnow, who has just died. When
Pinnow filled his master's last pipe for
him the day before he expired, the end
of July, 1898, he was astonished at what
he thought was a return to health and
life. "What!" said he, "the Prince wants
to smoke again? Well, the devil can fill
'his pipe for him." A few years before,
he trod on bis master's foot and appear-
ed most unhappy. Bismarck swallowed
the pain he felt from his gouty limb,
and turned to his servant to soothe him:
"My dear Pinnow, I should have suffered
no other European to tread on my corns."
Pinnow served Bismarck for twenty
years, and was a veritable sphinx when
any inquisitive journalist or politician
tried to pump him. It would be inter-
esting to know just how large a figure
his great master appeared to this faith-
ful servitor,—Loshe's Weekly.

GREAT AGE OF LIQUOR TREES.
A history of one of the sequoias of
California, as shown when it was cut for
lumber, is given by a United States Sen-
ator. It 'was but 15 feet in diameter,
while many of them are twice that size.
In 245 A. D., when it was 516 years of
age, a forest fire burned on its trunk a
scar three feet in width. After 1,196
years of placid life, in another fire in
1441 A. D., the tree, aged 1,712, received
another injury. Another scar fgllowed
in 1850, and was not covered with new
tissue for 56 years. The worst attack of
all was in 1787, when the tree, then 2,068
years of age, was attacked by a fire,
which left a scar 18 feet wide, reduces'
by 1890, in 103 years, to 14 feet. Only
ten isolated groves of these tree remain,
and only one grove is protected by gov-
ernment ownership.

Women Discarding Heavy Soled Shoes.
(The S1ioe Retailer.)
Women who have aped the sterner sex
in the matter of footwear are discarding
the heavy soled shoes which were more
or less popular for a time. The natural
successor to the "mannish" shoe is 'the
distinctively feminine pattern in a fine
turn or a fine welted shoe. The single
sole Oxford made on a "mannish" last is
about the only reminder of a clumsy
looking heavy shoe—never seriously in-
tended for women.
The Curse of War.
(Woodstock Express.)
Von Moltke is quoted as saying that
"war is holy and of divine institution;
it is one of the sacred laws of nature;
it keeps alive in men all the great and
noble sentiment,' honor, disinterested-
ness, virtue; in one word, it keeps us
from falling into the most hideous ma-
terialism," and it is to be feared that
a good deal of what passes for Chris-
tianity in these days is saturated with
this same barbarism..
