NIGHT LAMPS.

IDEAL FOR CHILDREN. The love of light is inherent in every child, and we must minister to it by giving the room set apart for our children an ample supply of light. What is needed is illumination which will fill every corner of the room, so that the children can play anywhere without eye-strain. This general illumination, readily obtained by a bowl fitting, with a lamp suspended from the centre of the ceiling, is also best adapted to the work of the nurse in bathing and dressing and undressing the children. When “good 'night” time comes, the reign of the lamp begins. Some spartan parents train their children to. sleep without any light in the room, but one never knows what strange and haunting terrors may be implanted in a child’s mind by awaking suddenly in absolute darkness. The night lamp is the ideal guardian over a child’s slumbers. Its soft rosy light has a smoothing, cheering charm of its own. It gives just enough illumination to make everything in the room visible, but not so much as to tend to keep the child awake. It takes _so little current that the cost of running lis really negligible. And it has the | supreme merit of being absolutely free from fire risk.
