And you want a peculiar sort of tongs (see the cut) for handling the
kerosene-brick. Price 25 cents; for 30 cents in new subscriptions.
To save express charges, we ship from the manufacturer’s nearest place
of business (nearest to you) wherever that may be.
There is going to be a kerosene-brick of a shape to imitate wood for
use in open fire-places. Not yet made and may not be so handy to fill.
By the way, we haven’t told how to fill the kerosene-brick.
“No. 1” above means a tin can with three small kerosene-bricks in it.
You take out one of the bricks, fill the can with kerosene and let it
stand fifteen minutes or over night. The two bricks are ready for use
any minute and stay so indefinitely. The smallest is big enough for
kindling. Maker’s circular sent.
[Footnote A: These are the maker’s prices in Boston. Beyond New England
the local prices will vary. We hear they are double out West. We go by
Boston prices, wherever you are.]
Ignites with a match. You put it out by dipping it in water. Throwing
water on it does not put it out.

Vegetable-masher, sauce-strainer and handy squeezer for twenty uses.
Price 65 cents; for 75 cents in new subscriptions. Postage 18 cents.
[Illustration: C. F. HEWIS PATENT 1881]
Large enough for two or three small potatoes. Really it is not a
potato-masher. It turns potatoes into a different sort of edible,
lighter, bulkier, mealier. Let them go into it steaming hot; let the
masher itself be hot; receive the dainty outcome in a hot dish and
immediately cover it. If this excellent tool has a fault, it is in
cooling potatoes.

Le Page’s Glue. Price 20 cents; for 25 cents in new subscriptions.
Postage 5 cents.
Doubtless the strongest glue as well as the most available. Liquid and
used as it is, unless chilled or thick, when warm it a little, or add
vinegar. In handy tin can with screw top.
Mends crockery; not glass because not transparent. Diluted enough makes
excellent mucilage. Let every family have it.

Turn-over Broiler that keeps the gravy out of the fire and on the meat.
Price 65 cents; for 75 cents in new subscriptions. Postage 24 cents.
[Illustration: PAT. AUG. 12, 79.]
Of light sheet-iron very smooth, punched full of holes, and the holes
are “dished” in the punching, so that none of the gravy is lost. Makes
good steak better and pays for itself in a week.
Bartlett Domestic Press. Price $1.50; for $2 in new subscriptions.
