Our Olio.

In the Middle ages the fires in the
houses were made in aeayity in the cen
tre of the floor, over which there generally
was an opening in the roof for the escape
of the smoke; and when the fire was out,
or the family retired to rest, the place in
which it was made was closed by cover.
In those days law was almost univer-
sally established on the continent that
fires should be extinguished and fsmilies
be all at home at a certain hour in the
evening, which was notified by the ring
ing of bell, that in England was called
the Curfew.

in Iowa by a law, which. it is stated, pro-
vides that the planter of forest trees is, for
every acre. released from taxation for ten
years on one hundred dollars valuation,
and for each acre of fruit trees planted,
from taxation on fifty dollars valuation
for five years, the same provisions as to
fruit trees are applied to the planting of

The water of Salt Lake is so dense that
man cannot sink in it. The editor of the

standing in the water, and without the
least motion could not sink to the chin.
He could lie ON the water, stand in it, take
almost any position, and still he could not
sink. 1t is necessary after swimming in
this briny water to rinse off with fresh, for
the salt of the water condenses on ones
