STRING AND CANDLE GREASE.
Many people use candle-ends as fire-lighters, but there is always the risk of the grease melting too -quickly and running down the bars of the grate or on the tiles of tho hearth, whence it is very difficult to remove. To prevent this, yet use up your candle-ends as “fire-lighters, try melting them in an old tin in the oven or on the warm stove. Then dip into the melted grease short lengths of old string. When these are dried a few of them placed among the paper wi : i light the fire very quickly. It is a good way of using up these odd lengths ot string, for which there seems to be no particular use, but which we hate to throw away.
