Why and Wln-n I. amps Fplu,le,
All cxpl.isioLS of ci'ai oil lamps are
caiftd by the vapi.r if gas which Col
lects above the oil. When full of oil of
o itirse a lamp c.vitains u ga-t, but iui-
mediately on lighting tho lamp, cnu
sumption of oil begins, soou lcaviug a
space for gas, which c in aaeuci-s to form
as the lamp warms up, uud, after bum j
mg a short time, stitlicieul gas v ill ac-
cumulate tj make au txpiosioii. The
Baa lamp will tjplode only when iguit
ed. Iu this respect it is like guupuw
iler. Cheap or inferior o.l is always the
uia.-t dangerous. The folliuviug shows
that many thiugs may occur to canse the
tl.imc to ass down the wick aud explode
the hinif :
1. A lamp mi y bo stamiiug on a tabic
or mantel, and a slight puff of air from
ihe opeu wiud jw, or suddeu opouiug of
a door may cause an explosion.
2. It may be taken up quickly from a
taideor mantel and instantly explore.
d If taken into any entry where there
la a strong draught from tho doors, au
explosion is likely to ens no.
t If takeu lip a flight of staiis, or
raised quickly to place it ou the mantel,
it is likely to explode.
Iu all tlieoe casts the mischief is done
by the air movement either by sudden
c'aeckitg the draught ur forcing the air
d.iwn ttiu chimney against the flame.
f l$;oing down the chimney t ex
tiugimh the light, is a fvtqucut cause of
exlosiou.
6. I. imp explosions have but u cau?cd
by using a chimney brokeu at, the top,
or one tl at has a piece brokm out,
whereby the dranght iu variable and the

quality of this small produciion is much
below the average. In coufequeueo of
this latter circumstance, it is asserted
that the owners of s.ime of tho best vine
yards in the south of France will uot
allow any of the winn grown this year
to enter the market under their ordinary
labels, fearing that such a course would
prove injurious to their reputation. This
policy is firmly insisted npon by the
Marquis de L ir Baluces, who owns the
vineyards where the grapes tLat produce
what is known as Chateau Yquem wine
are grown; and hence quite a little of
this wine will find its way lo the con
sumer this year under a different trade
mark. If the niarqais Lad the opinion
of Ami ricans as to the merit of Lis wiue
under consideration when Le came to
this conclusion, tbe cautiou which Le
exercises would Lave been in a great
measure needless, as we fancy that a
large part of the wiue that is sold here
as C'aateau Yquem Las very little rigLl
to that title. In a gool year this wiue is
sold at tbe vineyard by the tun, at a rate
which mikes tho prices of it per bottle
range from $1 50 to 92, while tLe wine
of au exceptionally favorable year sold
at liardean, at more than $10 per bottle.
A number of the vineyards of tbe lii
romlo produci wine which possesses, in
an inferior way, some of tho chatactet
isticsof this most delicate of white wines,
and it is not improbable that in the
transit to this country some of this is
mysteriously transmuted into the supe
rior article. In the champague district,
lh' harvest is an absolute failure, and
for the first time for sixty years not a
bottle ol this wine will bo made. The
large Louses engaged iu this business
have, however, on baud a sufficient
quantity to supply their customers for
Ihe next two j ears, and it is not at all
likely that the harvest of 1S80 will turn
out as badly ns that of lST'J. The stock
of champagne in tho cellars in nud
around Iiheims is estimated to be Ecveu-ty-two
million bottles, while the annual
exportation out of Franoj of genuine
cliau p.'.gue is uot greater than twci.ty
million bottles. It is slated that the
large producers will not itcreuso the
regular price cf the wines ou account ot"
this ear's failure, fearing that such a
course would cat dowu the number if
their i' mfumers; Lut as a speculative
mania Las set in among foreign dealers,
tht y may be compelled to make au ad
vauce iu order to keep on hand a sufii
en-id amount to supply their legitimate
cti-domers. A foie.-d advance iu the
priti cf champagne would be uufortu
ua'o, f .-r i k aerienco in the past shows
that when a point of this kind has once
been attained, tbe products whose
wines Lave a world-wide reputation are
never willing to recede from it.
Just the Man He Wanted.
O.ir correspondent at Djrry sen la the
following: Michael Ktlliy, or Mike
Kolley as he was usually called, wis au
tweutrid old fai wor living in one of our
suburban towns. IV in of poi r parents,
by industry aud j elsevt rauce Lo had
tit'couie possessed of one o. tho finest
farms iu that section, of which ho was
jnitiy proud; but no prouder w.s he
th m of his own pbjsii id strength ami
agility, that hail assisted him in accu
mulating his propity, aud made him
a mo t txo.'lleut brxer and wrestler, dud
he Lad a correspt mlir.g cottimpt for
nii-u of inferior p iwers.
One spring when help was ntnually
plenty, Le determined to lave the
farm run that year by a strong team,
so when a man presented himself and
asked forwoik, after inqniritg of the
man ns to his habits, etc, he would
finish np by asking him to fight. In
this way Le disposed of quite a cuuibi r
of applicants, rnd was beginning to
despair of Lis 'strong team,' when one
morning as Le was stauding in the barn
door, a young man came up the road,
and teeing biro, called out:
Hi od morning, air,'
Good morning,' grnflly.
'1) j you want to biro a baud to work
on your farm; air.'
lVihaps so; want to Lire out?'
'Yes air; I am looking for a job.'
'Wuatcau you do?'
'All kiuds of farm work, sir; I was
born ou a farm.'
'Can joii tight?'
'What, aii?'
'Can yon fight, I fay; cau yon lick
ms.'
'I ilou't know, Blr, whether I can or
not; but I cau try.'
Aud he did try. Tha first thing
Killi y knew he was on Lis back on tLe
tlo, r, with two teath down his throat; the
next, the man was astride L1b stomach,
with a fist in each eye, aud his uo?o was
bleeding. Then he let Lim up, and was
jilit picking np Lis bundle to start (IT,
wliea Lu wai called back and act to woi k,
aud Le proved to bo ai trusty aud
iudu-trious as Le was brave. Tue
farmer's daughter needed jast such a
uiau for a husband, aud now La may be
se-u any day t upei intending the woik
on the farm, while Father Kelley aits in
tho artnehair i.ud tells to Lia grand

Ho came up a little late, stepped in
without ringiug nnd striding softly into
parlor dropped iato au easy chair with
tho careless pruce of a you: g nnu who
is accustomed lo tho pr, grummo. 'By
Jove,' he tnid to tho figure sitting in
the dim obscurity of tiio s .fa. 'Uy
Jove, I thought I wan never going t j see
you aloue agaiu. Your nio' her never goes
away from tho hoime nowadays, does
she, Miunii?" 'Well, not amazingly
frequently,' cbeeifully replied tho old
lady from the sufa. 'Minnie's away so
much of the time now I havo tohtay in.'
In the old hickory nt tho tnd of the
house the moping ovl complained to tho
moon much iu its usual style, the
katydids never sung more clccily aud
the plaintive cry of the whip-poor-will
filled the uigbt air with poetry, lut Le
didn't Lear nny of it, all tho tame.
'And, by George,' Le said lo ft frieud
fifteen minutes later, 'if I didn't lcavo
my hat on the piano and my caue iu tho
hull, I'm a goat. Think of 'em? Forget
'em. Strike mo blind if I knew I had
any clothes ou at all. What- I wanted
was frtsh air, au 1 I wanted about thirty
acres of it, aud mighty quick bio.'
The St. Albans Adi trtistr tells this
of Low they do things up in Vermont:
'A Rutland mnu published a cm , I stating
stating that he should therein kr pay no
debts contracted by hi wife ami cau
tioned the public ngninst giving her
credit. The woman followed, with
a card, expressing surprise that
her Luf.buud was able to raise
money enough for the advertiemcut,
saymg that all ho had evr paid out for
her was fifteen cents, for a pair cf
stoctiLgi, while she wns supporting
both mid r.lso paid many s mall bills for
btcr which he had ct utracted and for
which sho was frequently uuuncd ou
