To Prevent Scratching Matches on Paint.
A coiHiKsroNDENi' in Florida, of New Remedies, speaking of the defacement of paint by the inadvertent or heedless soratohing of matches, says that be has observed that when one mark has been made others follow rapidly. To effectually prevent this, rub the spot with flannel saturated with any liquid vaseline. " After that people may try to strike their matches there as muoh as they like, they will neither get a light nor injure tho paint," and most singular, the petroleum causes the existing mark to soon disappear, at least when it occurs onjdark paint.
