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- na, as the former, if upset, can be picked ,up and replaced be- fore the oil can eseape. 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 vapor. Never turn down a lamp. It 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 cer- tainly heat rapidly and become a di source of danger. An alcoho! 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- char on it, for the entire con- y burst into dames.

They were going on a round the world tour with the opera “Dorothy” and were billed at Malta’ This was no fitup company by any means.

When the ship arrived at Malta the port officials promptly put the hounds in quarantine for twelve hours, where- upon the manager went behind the smokestack and anathematized Malta, Gozo, Comino and the rest of the neighborhood. “Dorothy” couldn’t be played without a pack of canines. He then went ashore and explained the dilemma to the local manager.

Why is it that children’s guimpes are not sold as reasonably as white lawn dresses of the same quality? One mother, after looking in vain for every- day guimpes at a low price, turned to a bargain counter offering dainty white lawn dresses. Here she solved her dif- ficulty.
