How to Start a Quick Heat Fire in Cold Mornings
Practical old fashioned instructions describe lighting a coal and grate fire for warmth. Begin by raking ash and igniting a red glow, then adjust ashpit and check dampers. Feed fuel in thin layers, burn gases off, then restore dampers for efficient heat and fewer cellar trips.
Gild Their Teeth and Paint Their Faces Across Cultures
A fragment from a Chicago Tribune clipping references beauty customs across nations. It notes women in old Japan and today gild teeth, Indies women paint lips red, Greenland women color faces blue and yellow, and Muscovite complexions. The piece also mentions small feet in China and a crown-worthy thought about aquiline noses, followed by an unrelated drug ad for Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
