TO PRESERVE LAMP CHIMNEYS.

There is not the slightest doubt that lamp chimneys and globes may be tempered in such a manner as to make them less susceptible to breakage. It is not to the interest of the makers to have them last too long, but the housekeeper can lengthen their days by putting them, when first purchased, into a pan of cold water, and placing it on the fire until it boils. Then take it off, and let it cool. It is astonishing how strong this simple method of tempering makes the glass, and how much longer it may be used. If you are inclined to doubt, try an experiment ; take two chimneys from the same case, temper one and not the other, and sec which serves its purpose longest.
