	Rushlight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Rushlight is a type of candle formed using the dried pith of the rush plant as its wick.
		The pith was typically dipped in any household fat or grease that was available although beeswax or good tallow, especially mutton fat, improved the quality of the light.
		A rushlight 2/3 of a metre long (about 2 feet) might burn for an hour and cost practically nothing to make.

	Benjamin Franklin & Rushlights
		Rushlights, sometime known as “fatted rushes,” are made from the common bog rush, or soft rush (Juncus effusus), by stripping off almost all of the green cortex (outer layer) except for a thin strip needed to hold the pithy insides of the rush together.
		The prepared rushlights were subsequently stored in metal or crock containers having lids to protect the contents from gnawing animals that would have been attracted by the scent of the fat.
		As the rushlight burns close to the rush holder, release the clothespin’s jaws, then gripping the end of the unburned rushlight, slide forward, burning the remainder of the rushlight.

	Rushlight holder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Rushlights were the simplest and least expensive kind of lighting device.
		The outer skin of the rush was peeled away and the remaining pith was dried and then dipped in hot fat.

		Readers of Shakespeare and Milton, of Scott and Dickens, of Charlotte Bronte and other writers, are probably familiar with the rushlight of English literature, but few of them perhaps have any distinct mental picture of it and how it was made.
