rear w !1 oji' ii to the west was a long
til.-d veranda, wh'-re in winter at't-r-m.on.s
the hemp picking, the wool card-
IIi::. etc.. Were done.
Within th' va-t !;itch !i ;1.vi-i1 in tlie
li.r!'t of the lire ali::-.st as nin".t i iiuish
ail" a.s till- vestal vit- in'H at, coal and
wood were each abundantly employed,
ami for a trillin r;-nt, generally paid in
K"i;id, the lord iif the manor would per
mit the farmers on his land to cut their
tui l's from hi.-, hog or their houghs from
1 is f.ire. t. Fuel was not only actually
I. it relatively cheaper in the middlo
a:;- than today, for the hogs were not
draiii' il in those days, the forest covered
great expanses, and the cost of carnage
made it aim-ist impossible to transport
lie ir produce. 1 ii almost every shire of
France and England the supply of fuel
was in excess of the demand.
This hospitaido lire flared up a chim
ney proportioned to its size, lighting the
huge brick oven, the iron fire.logs. the
'jellows, shovel, gridiron, ladles, cal
Iroiis, saucepans, mortar, tin pails and
jtht-r utensils that stood on the br.icketa
of the hearth, and irradiating the brass
md copper pots, the metal candlesticks,
the lamp, the lantern, the not nnfrequent
f-ilver beaker, and the glass drinking
cups that wen; ranged on the chests and
cupboards round the walls. Near thin
fire stood a high hacked settle, the mas
ter'n corner, and under the great niantlw
of the chimney narrower tienchen were
set in the brick.
Within easy reach of the hearth a deep
oak chest held the logs for burning. It
was generally matched by a hand.some
wedding chest with carved or painted
front, long enough to contain a grown
p rson full length, but more usually filled,
t must lie admit tod, with the best clothes,
trinkets and thi savings of the house
hold. The registers of the chatelet recoi-u
;i crime so common as the breaking open
of such wedding chests; and it is surpris
ing how many clasps of jewels, girdles
of pearls, golden headdresses and rings,
ami purses full of gold were stolen from
quite humble households. Our fore
fiiThers invested their capital in cup?
or trinkets of precious metal, pretty to

A quick wit ted and daring "TCi"ni
lawyer once saved a guilty cl'Tfit from
nre conviction tin a "harge of poisoning.
It was proved that tin poisoning hiel
(-.en done hy means of (ertain cake?, j
i.o:-.io;i ,r which was produced in court.
When ttie counsel for the prisoner had
finished his git-eech, lie said: "And thtse,
g'-ntleiiien of the jury, are some of thv-
adegi d poisoiieil cakes. e declare to
you, gentlemen of the jury, that they
are not poisoned cakes. They are as
harmless cakes a.s ever were made, and
in order, gentlemen of the jury, to show
you that these cakes are not poisoned, I
ill eat one of them right hero iu your
presence."
And he did eat one. He took good
.are, however, to leave the room at the
arliest op-portunity, and to make a bee
in" for an adjoining room, where he
had an emetic in readiness and an anti
dote. But the jury never heard about
i't:e emetic or the antidote until the law
yer's client had been acquitted. Sac

Our Sun a Star.
Most young folks now know that tie
liilerence between night and day on this
planet of ours arises simply from flu
fact, that among the innumerable multi
tude of btars there is one infinit'-ly rterm-i
to us than all the rest; being so much
xearer to us that when we see it we have
aay: When by the earth's movement
-ii its axis the sun has set in the west
ive have night; at which time we depend
for light upon the i:or distant stars
unless, indeed, the inoLin is shining.
In the main, it is true that the enor
mous difference in the intensity of the
light that we receive from tho sun in the
one case, and from all the stars seen a
night in the other, depends npon the faex
that the snn is the star nearest to us, and
the other stars are suns infinitely re
moved. J. Norman Lockyer in Youth's
Companion.
To Measure tlie Sea Level.
A new apparatus for measuring the
ratm level of the sea has lately been in
stalled at Marseilles. It is based on the
principle that when a liquid wave trav
rrses r, cpi";i" tu'e or a porous piirti
rioii, its amplitude diminishes and it is
retarded in its phases without the mean
level of the wave changing. It consists
of a glass tube, the lower end of which
communicates by a flexible pipe with a
plunger which is lowered beneath the
lowest water level. There are two cells
in the plunger, the lower K-ing filled
with sand and open to the pea, the result
being that the column of water in the
tube rises and falls very little with the
rides, and the niwtn ee' level can be read
from a graduated scale. New York
Times.

St-nIiiK Letters hj Wire.
What is termed telpherage, or the con
veyance of parcels by electricity along
lines of wires placed overhead, is little
known in this country beyond the stage
of exiM.rimeut. We have little real need
i f this device to assist commercial busi
ness. In South America, however, tel
pherage schemes appear to propitious
to the speculator, and a line has been
constructed lWti miles long, which places
Buenos Ay res and Montevideo in com
munication. Across the La I'lata there
is a swing for the wirea of ninetee:i
miles, and the initial start for this jour
ney is afforded by t "" iov?s -JT't feet in

How Ol't Spiders Live.
Old spider.-:, which have neither web
nor the materials to make one. often
hunt a'oour to rind out the web of other
spiders, younger and weaker than them
selves, with whom they venture battle.
The invader generally succeeds, and the
younger spider is driven out to make a
new web. and the old spider remains
in jtossestdou until a stronger spider in
vades the web and drives it out. When
thus disjios.sessed the eipider seldom ven
tures another attack, but tries to subsist
upon the few insects that may fall acci
dentally into its clutches, and eventually
dies of hunger. London Standa !.

knots or warts which are very common
