    People long ago made candles of rushes and put them into lard to freeze them.
    They made the nails themselves of iron rods and topped them with a hammer.
    They made the whips out of the hides of horses and donkeys.
    Lime-burning is still carried on.
    They make a lime-kiln and fill it with broken stones and turf and burn it and when it is all burnt they take out the lime.
