Wipe the dust off of it once in a while. Not really much you need to do unless it is giving you problems.
Of course that's just my opinion, others may vary!! 8)

Makin' it pretty is fine and cleaning the globe inside and out is good too but a lantern is something that I believe the more you fuss with it the better the odds that you are going to cause you're own problems. ;)
