Soak
the
wick
in

vinegar,

dry
it
well

the
flame
will
then
burn
clear
and
bright.
341.
Encrusted
Tea-Kettles.
Water
of
every
kind,
except
rain
water,
will
speedily
cover
the
inside
of
a
tea-kettle
with
an
unpleasant
crust;
this
may
easily
be
guarded
against
by
placing
a
clean
oyster-shell
or
a
piece
of
stone
or
marble
in
the
tea-kettle.
The
shell
or
stone
will
always
keep
the
interior
of
the
kettle
in
good
order,
by
attracting
the
particles
of
earth
or
of
stone.

cause
unpleasant
smells.

little
charcoal
mixed
with
clear
water
thrown
into
a
sink
will
disinfect
and
deodorize
it.
Chloride
of
lime
and
carbolic
acid
considerably
diluted,
if
applied
in
a
liquid
form,
are
good
disinfectants,
and
carbolic
powder--a
pink
powder
with
a
smell
resembling
tar,
and
sold
at
about
2d.
per
lb.--is
both
useful
and
effective.
The
air
of
a
bedroom
may
be
pleasantly
sweetened
by
throwing
some
ground
coffee
on
a
fire
shovel
previously
heated.
345.
Chimney
Smoking.
Where
a
chimney
smokes
only
when
a
fire
is
first
lighted,
it
may
be
guarded
against
by
allowing
the
fire
to
kindle
gradually,
or
by
heating
the
chimney
by
burning
straw
or
paper
in
the
grate
previous
to
laying
in
the
fire.
