The
Best
Oil
for
Lamps,
whether
animal,
vegetable,
or
mineral,
is
that
which
is
clear
and
nearly
colourless,
like
water.

China
or
Wedgwood
Teapots.
China
teapots
are
the
safest,
and,
in
many
respects,
the
most
pleasant.
Wedgwood
ware
is
very
apt,
after
a
time,
to
acquire
a
disagreeable
taste.

Care
of
Linen.
When
linen
is
well
dried
and
laid
by
for
use,
nothing
more
is
necessary
than
to
secure
it
from
damp
and
insects.
It
may
he
kept
free
from
the
latter
by
a
judicious
mixture
of
aromatic
shrubs
and
flowers,
cut
up
and
sewed
in
silken
bags,
which
must
be
interspersed
among
the
drawers
and
shelves.
The
ingredients
used
may
consist
of
lavender,
thyme,
roses,
cedar
shavings,
powdered
sassafras,
cassia,
&c.,
into
which
a
few
drops
of
otto
of
roses,
or
other
strong-scented
perfume
may
be
thrown.

Repairing
Linen.
In
all
cases
it
will
he
found
more
consistent
with
economy
to
examine
and
repair
all
washable
articles,
more
especially
linen,
that
may
stand
in
need
of
it,
previous
to
sending
them
to
the
laundry.
It
will
also
be
prudent
to
have
every
article
carefully
numbered,
and
so
arranged,
after
washing,
as
to
have
their
regular
turn
and
term
in
domestic
use.
362.
Mending.
When
you
make
a
new
article
always
save
the
pieces
until
"mending
day,"
which
may
come
sooner
than
expected.
It
will
be
well
even
to
buy
a
little
extra
quantity
for
repairs.
Read
over
repeatedly
the
"DOMESTIC
HINTS"
(pars.
1783-1807).
These
numerous
paragraphs
contain
most
valuable
suggestions,
that
will
be
constantly
useful
if
well
remembered.
They
should
be
read
frequently
that
their
full
value
may
be
secured.
Let
your
servants
also
read
them,
for
nothing
more
conduces
to
good
housekeeping
than
for
the
servant
to
understand
the
"system"
which
her
mistress
approves
of.
