Oil
Lighting.
Whenever
oil,
whether
animal,
vegetable,
or
mineral,
is
used
for
the
purpose
of
artificial
light,
it
should
be
kept
free
from
all
exposure
to
atmospheric
air;
as
it
is
apt
to
absorb
considerable
quantities
of
oxygen.
If
animal
oil
is
very
coarse
or
tenacious,
a
very
small
quantity
of
oil
of
turpentine
may
be
added.

Improving
Candles.
Candles
improve
by
keeping
a
few
months.
If
wax
candles
become
discoloured
or
soiled,
they
may
be
restored
by
rubbing
them
over
with
a
clean
flannel
slightly
dipped
in
spirits
of
wine.

Lighting
Candles.
In
lighting
candles
always
hold
the
match
to
the
side
of
the
wick,
and
not
over
the
top
of
it,
as
is
generally
done.

Night
Lights.
Field's
and
Child's
night
lights
are
generally
known
and
are
easily
obtainable.
But
under
circumstances
where
they
cannot
be
procured,
the
waste
of
candles
may
be
thus
applied.
Make
a
fine
cotton,
and
wax
it
with
white
wax.
Then
cut
into
the
requisite
lengths.
Melt
the
grease
and
pour
into
pill
boxes,
previously
either
fixing
the
cotton
in
the
centre,
or
dropping
it
in
just
before
the
grease
sets.
If
a
little
white
wax
be
melted
with
the
grease,
all
the
better.
In
this
manner,
the
ends
and
drippings
of
candles
may
be
used
up.
When
set
to
burn,
place
in
a
saucer,
with
sufficient
water
to
rise
to
the
extent
of
the
16th
of
an
inch
around
the
base
of
the
night
light.
