Enquire within upon everything

xviii. People in general are not aware how very essential to the health of the inmates is the free admission of light into their houses. xix. When you dry salt for the table, do not place it in the salt cellars until it is cold, otherwise it will harden into a lump. xx. Never put away plate, knives and forks, &c., uncleaned, or great inconvenience will arise when the articles are wanted. xxi. Feather beds should be opened every third year, the ticking well dusted, soaped, and waxed, the feathers dressed and returned. xxii. Persons of defective sight, when threading a needle, should hold it over something white, by which the sight will be assisted. xxiii. In mending sheets and shirts, put in pieces sufficiently large, or in the first washing the thin parts give way, and the work done is of no avail. xxiv. When reading by candle-light, place the candle behind you, that the rays may pass over your shoulder on to the book. This will relieve the eyes. xxv. A wire fire-guard, for each fire-place in a house, costs little, and greatly diminishes the risk to life and property. Fix them before going to bed. xxvi. In winter, get the work forward by daylight, to prevent running about at night with candles. Thus you escape grease spots, and risks of fire. xxvii. Be at much pains to keep your children's feet dry and warm. Don't bury their bodies in heavy flannels and wools, and leave their arms and legs naked.
