Waste
paper
that
has
been
written
on,
cut
into
slips,
and
creased
and
folded,
makes
very
good
allumettes
or
lamp-lighters.
These
matters
may
appear
of
trifling
importance,
but
order
and
regularity
are
necessary
to
happiness.

Beds
for
the
Poor.
Beech-tree
leaves
are
recommended
for
filling
the
beds
of
poor
persons.
They
should
be
gathered
on
a
dry
day
in
the
autumn,
and
perfectly
dried.
It
is
said
that
the
smell
of
them
is
pleasant
and
that
they
will
not
harbour
vermin.
They
are
also
very
springy.

To
Preserve
Tables.
A
piece
of
oilcloth
(about
twenty
inches
long)
is
a
useful
appendage
to
a
common
sitting-room.
Kept
in
the
closet,
it
can
be
available
at
any
time,
in
order
to
place
upon
it
jars,
lamps,
&c.,
whose
contents
are
likely
to
soil
your
table
during
the
process
of
emptying
or
filling
them.
A
wing
and
duster
are
harmonious
accompaniments
to
the
oilcloth.
331.
Protecting
Gilt
Frames.
Gilt
frames
may
be
protected
from
flies
and
dust
by
pinning
tarlatan
over
them.
Tarlatan
fit
for
the
purpose
may
be
purchased
at
the
draper's.
It
is
an
excellent
material
for
keeping
dust
from
books,
vases,
wool
work,
and
every
description
of
household
ornament.
332.
Damp
Walls.
The
following
method
is
recommended
to
prevent
the
effect
of
damp
walls
on
paper
in
rooms:--Line
the
damp
part
of
the
wall
with
sheet
lead,
rolled
very
thin,
and
fastened
up
with
small
copper
nails.
It
may
be
immediately
covered
with
paper.
The
lead
is
not
to
be
thicker
than
that
which
is
used
to
line
tea-chests.
