Cement Grotto Roughly Molded over Clay, Shaped to Make the Right Form

Lamp Wicks Cheaply Made
Cut the Hat into Halves and Then Cut It into Strips, from Which the Wicks are Made
Lamp wicks may be made cheaply at home from an old soft-felt hat. The hat should first be brushed clean and the brim flattened by ironing it. The greatest number of wicks may be obtained if the hat is cut into halves with a pair of scissors, and then cut into strips of the required size, as shown in the sketch. Soak the strips in vinegar for two hours, dry them out of doors, if convenient, and they are ready for use.—Contributed by George H. Holden.
