[A WIFE'S ART IS DISPLAYED IN A TABLE WELL LAID.] 335. To Get Rid of a Bad Smell in a Room Newly Painted. Place a vessel full of lighted charcoal in the middle of the room, and throw on it two or three handfuls of juniper berries, shut the windows, the chimney, and the door close; twenty-four hours afterwards, the room may be opened, when it will be found that the sickly, unwholesome smell will be entirely gone. The smoke of the juniper berry possesses this advantage, that should anything be left in the room, such as; tapestry, &c., none of it will be spoiled. 336. Smell of Paint. To get rid of the smell of oil paint, let a pailful of water stand in the room newly painted. 337. Airing a Larder. If a larder, by its position, will not admit of opposite windows, a current of air should be admitted by means of a flue from the outside. 338. Keeping a Door Open. To keep a door open, place a brick covered neatly with a piece of carpeting against it, when opened sufficiently. 339. To Ascertain whether a Bed be Aired. Introduce a drinking glass between the sheets for a minute or two, just when the warming-pan is taken out; if the bed be dry, there will only be a slight cloudy appearance on the glass, but if not, the damp of the bed will collect in and on the glass and assume the form of drops--a warning of danger.
