have fire, kept warm during the day by
active exercise, and at night by sleeping
close together
We find the first mention Of coal pade
in the year 1899, when King Henry the
Third granted charter to some Of the
residents of Newcastle to dig for it; but
there was a great prejudice against its
use, as many supposed it to be dangerous
TO the health. IL was not generally used
until the seventeenth century. In the
meantime, the pipe for the escape Of
smoke was modified so as to become
what we now call chimney. An old
writer of about this time, by the name of
Leland, in speaking of Bolton Castle,
says:
Zone thynge | muche notyd in the
hawle of Bolton, how chimeneys we're
conveyed by tunnells made on the syds
of the walls betwyxt the light in the
howle, and by this means, and by no
covers, is the smoke Of the harth in the
hawle strangely conveyed" Soon after
this chimneys we're generally adopted.

Curious Customs,

An English gentleman, who has lately
travelled in Palestine, recently gave a
/ description of the curious scenes that
are enacted in the church of the Holy
Sepulchre.
He said that when you first entered
the church, you would be surprised to
see party of soldiers with their swords
suspended by their sides and their guns
stacked within reach. 1t seemed sac
rilege in such hcly place, and struck
one rather unpleasantly. But be soon
found the necessity for IT. According
to the law of the country, every sect is
allowed to worship there, and as it is
considered equally sacred, both by
Christians and Mohammedans, all wish
time for their mode of worship. The
law allows them an hour each. They
commence at six in the morning. At
that hour those who have the first privi-
lege enter, bringing with them whatever
is necessary to conduct their particular
religious rites. They go through their
prayers and chants, and all is very quiet
till about quarter before seven, when
those who have the privilege of the next
hour begin to arrive At first all is de-
corum, but presently the new corners
begin to hiss and mock.
As their numbers increase, and they
become stronger, they shove and crowd
and as the time lessons they get more
and more bold. A few minutes before
seven, they proceed to more forcible
demonstrations. They think if they can
clear out those blasphemers few min
utes before the time, they have done so
much good work for God while the
worshippers on the other hand think,
if they can keep possession few min
utes af,er the time, they have done an
equally good work AS some of these
sects use torches, wax candles, slaves or
crooks, in their worship, they proceed
to use these as weapons of olfense or
defense, and regular melee ensues.
Then come in the soldiers, who separate
the combatants by filing in between
them, turning out those whose hour is
up, and leaving the place in the posses
sion of the last comers Ifblood is shed
the church is closed for the day. Such
scenes are occurring all day long, and
the presence of soldiers is absolutely
necessary.

Daniel Webster, Character.

Mr.. Parton, the historian, in late
magazine article, thus portrays the char
acter of Daniel Webster. He says:
In surveying the life and works OF
this eminent and gifted man, we are con-
tinually struck with the evidences of his
magnitude. He was, as we have said, u
very large person. His brain was within
little of being one.third larger than
the average, and it was one ct the largest
three on record. His bodily frame, in
all its parts, was on a majestic scale,
and his presence was immense. lie
liked large things-mountains, elms,
great oaks, mighty bulls and oxen, wide
fields, the ocean, the Union, aud all
things of magnitude. He liked great
Rome far better than refined Greece,
and reveled in the immense things of
literature, such as Paradise Lost and the
Book of Job, Burke, DR.. johnson and
the Sixth Book Of Eneid.
Homer he never cared much f0r-uor,
indeed, anything Greek He hated, he
loathed the act Of writing. Billiards,
ten.pins, chess, draughts, whist, he never
relished, though fond to excess Of out
door pleasures, like hunting, fishing,
Yachting. He liked to be alene with great
nature-alone in the giant woods or on
the shores Of the resounding sea-alone
all day with his gun, his dog and his
thoughts-alone in the morning before
any one was sstir but himself, looking
out upon the sea and the glorious sun
rise
What delicious picture Of this large,
healthy son of earth Mr.. Lanman gives
us, when he describes his coming into his
bod room at sunrise, and startling him
out of deep sleep by shouting, Awake,
sluggard and look upon this glorious
scene, for the sky and the ocean are en-
voloped in flames T. He was akin to all
large, slow things in nature.
A herd Of fine cattlo gave him keen,
an inexhaustible enjoyment; but he
never tasted " a horse, he had no horse
enthusiasm. In England he chiefly
enjoyed these fine things, the Tower
of London, Westminster Abbey,
Smithfeld Cattle Market, English
farming and Sir Robert Peel
Sir Robert Peel. he thought was head
and shoulders above any other man
be had ever met He greatly ex-
eelled, too, in describing immense things.
In speaking Of the Pyramids, once, he
asked, who eau inform US BY what now

Gen. Israel Putnam, the Patriot.

Putnam's early days were spent as
those Of most boys placed in his situation
in life. One Of his favorite amusements
was "bird-nesting. The haunts for the
nest were followed in company, and
Putnam was always the leader.
On one occasion he and his compan
ions came across fine nest, which
lodged on a frail branch Of very high
tree. There was no way of reaching the
nest except by climbing (which was very
difficulty, and venturing out on the
branch, which, nine chances to one,
would break under the weight of the
robber No one would venture. Put.
nam regarded the nest and limb in 81.
lence for some moments, and at length
said:
"Tl! wager there is not boy for ten
miles around that can get that nest"
All agreed with him.
"I'l try it, said he, deliberately Ia
king off his jacket and rolling his pan
falcons up to his knees.
His companions tried to dissuade him,
but to no purpose. Go he would.
"Tll fancy that one of the King 8
strongholds," said Putnam, "and may |
be blessed if don't take it. "
The tree was assembled the limb
gained Putnam placed his foot upon
it, and it creaked. He ventured foot
farther; the limb bent low, and warn
ing murmur rose from the boys below.
He put his knee to the branch, and
reached toward the nest The limb
broke partly-a shout below-and Put
nam persevered His fingers touched
the wished-for prize, and just as he cried,
i've got il" the limb broke clear off,
and he fell-but not to the ground. His
pantaloons caught in one of the lower
limbs, and his head hung downwards.
Put, are you hurt2" asked one of
the boys.
mot hurt" answered the undaunted
heart, I" but sorely puzzled how to get
down"
ave can't cut away the limb, because
we have no knife.
| can't stay here till you get one.
"We'll strike light and burn the tree
down.
"Ay, and smother me in the smoke.
That won't do.
There was boy named Randall in the
group, who was noted for being crack
marksmap, and who afterwards fought
bravely at Putnam's side. Him Putnam
addressed:
"Jim Randall, there's ball in your
rife 2"
YES"
"Do you see that very little limb holds
me here "
81 do"
Fire at it."
"What, to cut you down
"0f course"
But might strike your head.
"Shootl Better blow out my brains
than see me die here, which l shall in
fifteen minutes. Shoot
But you will fall !"
"Jim Randall! Will you fire ?"
The sharp crack of the rifle rang
through the forest-the splinters flew
and Putnam fell upon the ground. He
was severely bruised, but laughed the
matter off, and nothing more was thought
of it Drawing the nest from his pocket,
he said:
Here is that nest; l said would
have it, and l was determined no one
should see me fail.
