It makes the present generation smile
to read the accounts which have come
down to us concerning the prejudices
which were formerly entertained
against certain articles which are of
everyday consumption
For Instance it is said that when coal
Frontier j was first used in England the prejudice
j against it was so strong that the Iioumj
Miss Gertrude Conner of Maywood of commons petitioned the king to pro
visited her friend Fay Jacobs from hihlt the use of the noxious fuel
A royal proclamation having failed to
abate the nuisance a commission was
issued to ascertafh who burned coal
within the city of London and its neigh
borhood to punish them by force for
the first offense and by the demolition
of their furnaces if they persisted in
transgressing A law was finally pass
ed making it a capital offense to burn
coal in the city and only permitting it
to be used by forges in the vicinity It
is stated that among the records in the
Tower of London a document was
found according to which a man was
hanged in the time of Edward I for no
other crime than having been caught
burning coal ft took three centuries
to entirely efface the prejudice
Antiquity of 1laylni Cnnls
The game of cards was first played
in the east and seems to have had a
military origin Cards were introduced
from Asia into Europe at the time of
the crusades and were first used by
necromancers to foretell fortunes They
soon became a popular amusement in
the south of Europe where the Sara
cens ind Moors taught the people how
to use them and card playing spread
to all parts of the continent The state
records of Germany mention the fact
that Rudolph I in 1275 was fond of
the game and played with his court
iers
After the invention of paper the man
ufacture of cards became extensive
but declined somewhat when card play
ing was forbidden by several of the
German states and by the English gov
ernment on account of the supposed
immoral tendency Hefore the era of
paper cards in the orient were made
of ivory papyrus and canvas less fre
quently of the precious metals and
quite commonly of wood
For ii Very Good Iteiuion
I told him I would make him eat his
words declared Mr Peeehwood hotly
speaking of a quarrel he had had with
Mr JJrushtou He has been telling
things about me that are rank un
truths
IIow foolishly men talk to one an
other commented Mrs Beechwood
placidly
What do 3ou mean demanded her
husband Do you intend to insinuate
that men talk to each other more fool
ishly than women chatter
Of course I do the lady went on
imperturbably Now women never
try to make each other eat their words
no matter how angry they may be
Certainly not retorted Mr IJeech
wood and for a very good reason too
What reason she demanded
Because their digestive apparatus is
inferior to their vocabulary Pitts

Why AVnter Wont Fry
Why cannot we fry in water Be
cause water can only be heated to the
boiling point 212 degrees and any ad
ditional heat does not increase its tem
perature Two hundred and twelve de
grees of heat will not brown the sur
face of anything Fat on the contrary
can be made much hotter the tempera
ture depending on the kind There is a
lesson here for the economical house

when the vegetables meat etc are
already boiling They cook no faster
because of the increase of heat
A Share In a Jewel
There is a story told of a French serv
ant who was shown a priceless jewel

Thank yon my lord duke said the

In what way said the duke
Why your grace can do no more

Living Like n Savnpre
Civilized people will be shocked at
