"A correspondent of an exchange,
speaking of the DETACHMENT of paint by
the inadvertent or needless scratching Of
matches, says that he has observed that
when one mark has been made, others
follow rapidly. To effectually prevent
this, rub the spot with flannel saturated
with liquid vaseline. After that peo-
pie may try to strike matches ever 50
hard. they will neither get light nor
injure the paint; and, what is most
singular, the petroleum causes the ex-
listing mark to soon disappear, at least
when it occurs on dark paint.
