Households a Hundred Years Ago.

In speaking of the comparative COM
forts and conveniences enjoyed by our
ancestors in their homes of a thousand
years ago, with their descendants of
this generation, DR.. Nichols, IN the
Boston Journal of Commerce, says:
Our fathers were cropping in almost
utter darkness, so far as science was
concerned, and but little progress had
been made in invention and the arts !;
scarcely one of the modern cOntriv-
ances for cooking and for warming and
lighting dwellings was known. Not
a pound of coal or cubic foot of illu-
minating gas had been burned in tEe
country. No iron stoves were used,
and no contrivances for economising
heat were employed, until DR.. Franklin
invented the iron-frame fireplace.
which still bears his name. All the
cooking and warming, in town and
country, were done by the aid of fire
kindled upon the brick hearth or in the
brick oven. Pine knots or tallOw can
dies furnished the light for the long
winter evenings, and sanded floors sup
piled the place of rugs and carpets.
The water used for household purposes
was drawn from deep wells, by the
creaking "sweep," and it is a curious
circumstance that both the well and the
building meeting the necessities of
water-clOset were often at long dis
tances from the house. In a cold night
to be called toward either of them was
something dreadful to think of. No
form of pump was used in this country,
so far as we learn, until after the COM
mencement of the present century.
There were no friction matches in those
early days, by the aid of which fire
could speedily be kindled; and if the
fire went out on the hearth over night,
and the tinder was damp, so the spark
would not ''catch," the alternative re-
manned of wading through the snow a
mile or so to borrow a brand of a
neighbor. Only one room in any house
was warmed (unless some one in the
family were lily, in all the rest the tenn
perature was at zero during many nights
in winter. The men and women of hun
dred years ago undressed and retired
to their beds at night in an atmosphere
colder than that Of our modern barns
and wood-sheds, and they never COM
planned.

The Fatal COnfiagratiOn at Ayr, Scot
land,

In a few minutes those who had
gathered round the spot where the fire
originated were compelled to flee for
their lives, leaving portions OF their
clothing and all they possessed in the
mill behind. In the garret overhead
James Barr, fifty years of age, was
working with twenty-five young women
under his charge. On hearing the
screams in the fiat beneath he tried to
keep the cries of those WIN were aDpar-
emily terrOr-stricken beneath from
penetrating his own department and
creating greater alarm than was neces-
sary. He then ran down stairs, saw
the imminent danger of the whole
establishment, rushed up and gave the
alarm, but was too late to effect an
escape for himself or others, as the
staircases were all ablaze, and the
smoke and fire were such as no one
could pass through and live. The
young women rushed to the windows
and called for that aid which could not
be afforded them. They gesticulated
and screamed and sobhed in the pros
pect of death, and implOred those out
side to save their lives.
Meanwhile the fire spread rapidly,
the buildings one by one were envelOp-
ed, the flames shot high in the air, and
before long the spot where the helpless
females had been vainly seeking for
succor was reduced to ruins, and those
who occupied it were lost beyond hope
of recall.
The old man Barr was, before the fire
obliterated every thing, seen at one of
the windows waving his hands, ap-
parently calling for rescue, and large
number of the girls were holding by him
in the last lingering hope of having
their lives spared. One young woman
jumped from the height of four stories
and fell heavily on the ground beneath.
She expired in few minutes. Another
young girl appeared at a window
screaming. Her sister, who happened
to be beneath, called out, slump out,
or you'll be killed." and the little girl
instantly leaped over. The sister en-
deavored to catch her, but as the height
from which the leap was taken was very
great, both came into violent contact
and were thrown down The sister es-
capped unhurt, but the young girl was
bruised, it is feared seriously so. Her
hair was burned off by the fames.-

A Touching Tale.

He was a seedy-looking individual,
and as he stood upon the corner gazing
wistfully at the disappearing form of a
newsboy who had just picked up a
good-sized stump and was making off
with the prize, there was vague aspect
of despair in his attitude which was
very touching. Perhaps it was this
which attracted the attention OF mild
looking party who was passing by, and
perhaps it was something else; but
however this may be, the mild-looking
party stopped, and gazing at the sohta-
rv figure, addressed it thus:
"Old man, wouldn't you ike to have
a drink this morning?"
"YOu've read me as accurately as
though my thoughts were printed
on an open page" replied the
solitary, taking his quid from his mouth
and passing a dilapidated coat-sleeve
over his lips.
al thought so," murmured the mild
looking party, while a tear trickled
down his cheek; "but conquer the de-
sire. Fight tia you would legion OF
devils, for drink has ruined many a
man who had a more expansive fore
head than you've gOt!"
And then the mild-looking party con.
tinued on his way, and the solitary gaz.
ed dreamiy into space and communed
with himself.-LouisvtIle Argus.

Saving and Having.

Either man must be content with
poverty all his life, or else be willing to
deny himself some Injuries, and save,
to lay the base of independence in the
future. But if a man denies the future,
and spends all he earns (whether his
earnings be one or ten dollars every
dav), let him look for lean and hungry
want at some future time-fOr it will
surely come, no matter what he thinks.
To save is absolutely the only way to
get a solid fortune; there is no other
certain mode. Those who shut their
eyes and ears to these plain facts will
be forever poor, and for their obstinate
rejection of truth, mayhap will die in
rags and filth. Let them so die and
thank themselves. But no! They take
a sort of recompense in cursing fortune.
Great waste of breath. They might as
well curse mountains and eternal hills.
For l can tell them fortune does not
give away real and substantial goods.
She sells them to the highest bidder, to
the hardest and wisest worker for the
boon. Men never make so fatal a mis-
take as when they think themselves
creatures of fate; tits the sheerest folly
in the world. Every man may make or
mar his life, which ever he may choose.
Fortune is for those who by diligence,
honesty and frugality, place themselves
in a position to grasp hold of fortune
when it appears in view. The best ev-
idence of frugality is the five hundred
dollars or more standing in your name
at the savings bank. The best evidence
of honesty is both diligence and frugal
ity.

Sentenced to 124 Years. Imprisonment.

The Supreme Court has just passed
an original sentenced. Two employees
of the Post-office, in the money order
department, Manuel Carvallo and Jsse
E. Guzman, robbed the Office of S24,-
12760. At an early stage of the case
Guzman escaped, but was subsequently
discovered in an obscure part of the
town in a state of semi-intoxication,
and was imprisoned for two months.
Carvallo was not so fortunate, and the
sentence of the Supreme Court ON him,
Just delivered, amounts to the triie OF
124 years! This surprising result is
due to the fact that the robbery was eff
fected at different times and under two
legal periods; S20,925 was abstracted
before the Penal Code came into force :;
and for this, under a law of 1907, has
been awarded the penalty of six years
in the penitentiary. The remainder
IS, POP .60-had been stolen at eighty
different times, and for each infractiOn
of the law Carvallo has been sentenced
to 541 days imprisonment.-Chilidn

Dom PedrO's Joke.

On Friday afternoon last, dressed in
a rather shabby coat which betrayed a
rip in the shoulder through which the
lining proruded, a pair of trousers
which once were new, and a slouch hat
shading his eyes, His Majesty was in
tently examining some exhibits in the
Main Building when he overheard a
lady and gentleman regretting that they
had failed to see the Emperor of Brazil.
The lady calculated, eff he is here |
can't enjoy any thing till | get a good
look at him. and her escort comforted
her with the remark that he had been
looking for the Emperor for a week,
and was satisfied he had not been at the
Exhibition. Dom Pedro evidently
thought it a pity they should longer
waste time in fruitless search, and not
caring to collect crowd by revealing
his identity he pointed to his valet, who
stood at a respectful distance with a
princely feather in his military hat, and
said quietly, "He is at leisure now
90 and introduce yourselves. "-PhHq-

4 New and Destructive Tree-WOrm.

All through the extensive cedar for
ests in Marshall, north of the river, and
in the extensive belt of cedars in the
northeast portion of Maury County, un-
told millions of kind of worm, ,encased
in a cocoon or web, have attached them
selves to the cedar trees-hanging to
the limbs of the trees-in many thou
sands apparently to the tree. The trees
appear to be thickly covered with these
destructive insects. In sections con-
tanning many hundred acres of the finest
red cedar in the State-the timber at
tacked-much of it is already killed,
and nearly all that the pests are on ap-
pears to be in dying condition.; grave
fears are expressed by many that they
will, in the future, almost destroy the
cedar timber as they multiply. They
seem to be indigenous TO the cedar, hav-
ing as vet molested no forest tree but
it. The young apples in the orchards
near the affected forest have been at
tackled, the fly having apparently laid
the eggs on the bloom or apple.
Thousands of little Oblong cocOons may
now be seen sticking to the young ap-
pies; within the ball or cocoon is a
small black-looking worm. The apples
that they have been on are knotty and
SCARED, and stunted in growth, and can
not make good apples. The little worm
in his silken web seems to suck the ap-
pie, as there are now many acres of
timber that have been already killed by
them. Some one skilled in entomology
would confer a favor by explaining
what they Columbia (Ten1s.)

A Christian Merchants Magnanimity.

81 Sons, warehousemen, of Congress

DeImar Yesterday afternoon, with Theo-
dore Guther, his companion in spend

called the Court was astOnished by Mr..
RobinsOn's statement that he did not
wish to prosecute the complaint. Mr..
Robinson said:

better, if Lyons was let 90. | always

man. He ewas bright, intelligent boy,
and | never thought that he would turn
out as he did. But as the case stands
now, the money is gone, his parents are
poor, and | don't ever expect to get one
penny of it back, so you can see that

chance. 1t may be the salvation of
him, and think that justice would be
better served if the stain of imprisOn-
ment was not placed upon his name.
He will have a chance to begin again,
and will, have no doubt, turn out bet

"This is certainly a very Christian
act on your part, Mr.. Robinson" said
Justice Delmar.

An Interesting Incident.

Among the cadets that were attend
ing West Point at the opening OF the
war were Thomas L. Rosser and George
A. Custer. ROsser was a tall, hand
some, dark-complexioned Virginian,
one class in advance of Custer, who was
then a bold, fearless young man, who
cared more for an exploit of a daring
character than for study, more fond of
an adventure than of class honor. lie
and ROsser were quite intimate and en-
jOyed many a frolic together. When
the war broke out, Rosser, who was
born and raised Southerner, joined
Lees army, while Custer stood loyal to
the old flag. Their bold, fearless ma
lures adapted them to cavalry service,
which they greatly preferred. And in
1864 Rosser was at the head of brig
ade of the best Southern cavalry, hav-
ing distinguished himself in several en-
gagements by his dash and courage.
Custer had also been winning laurels
for himself and brigade, with Sheridan.
Custer, learning the whereabouts of his
schoOlmate, sent him a challenge to
meet him with his brigade, at some
point, and fight their respective com
mands.
ROsser was anxious to accept, but the
better judgment of Lee prevented their
meeting, as he saw that it would avail
nothing more than the sacrifice of many
good men and officers. Had the con-
test been allowed to take place, it
would probably have been the tiercest
battle that was ever fought between
two brigades, as both commands were
finely equipped, well mounted, and
commanded by the most fearless of Off
GERS.
Nearly a decade passed without their
meeting, and in the summer of '13 ROs-
ser was in charge of the Northern Pacific
surveying party, which was to 90 west
from Fort Abraham Lincoln to the Yel-
lowstOne, then southwest up the 1el-
lOwstOne some 200 miles, to connect the
line with the survey made from the west
end of the road. Gen Stanley was to
command the escort, which consisted
of two regiments of infantry and the
9TH Cavalry, commanded by Custer.
The engineers left Fort Lincoln with
a small escort on the 18th day of June,
and were joined by the main command
''that left Fort Rice" on the 25th of the
same month on the west bank of Mud
Greek. As soon as ROsser heard that
Custer had arrived, and was camped
near by, he sent him a personal invita-
ton to visit him at his headquarters as
early as convenient. The same even
ing Gen. Custer, with several of his
officers, called on Gen. ROsser, and
they greeted each other warmly and
cordially, and chatted over their school
days and Omrades-related war stories
with as friendly a spirit as though both
had been serving on The same side.
There were many courtesies exchanged
between them on the expedition. Gus
ter being under arrest at one time by
order of Gen. Stanley, was released by
the influence of Rosser, who, when
leaving him at the Yellowstone, gave
Custer new tent, much larger and bet
ter adapted for his purpose than those
furnished by the Government. 1t was af-
forwards pierced by two bullets, fired
by a couple of Indians while in camp
opposite POmpey's Pillar.

STEFANo GIAGINI, of San Francisco,
bethought him of Caliarini CordanO, a
girl whom he had known in his native
Italy, and sent her an offer of marriage
and 81, 200, the money to be returned
if she rejected him. She accepted, and
journeyed to San Francisco, where she
met Giagini and also another Italian ac-
quaintance, Paol. She thereupon
changed her mind, and engaged herself
to Paoli. Giagini had her taken into
court by writ of habeas corpus, charg-
ing that she was restrained of her iber-
ty by Paoi; but the Judge, upon her
assurance that she desired to marry Pa
oil, released her, and told Giagini that
a lawsuit was the only way to get back
his money.

CHARLES READE, the novelist, writes
to the London papers to point out to
young girls the folly of becoming starv-
ing seamstresses when they might be
domestic servants, with four meals a
day and two of them meat. Mr.. Reade
puts the pay of a housemaid, in rent,
frewood, washing and pocket-money,
at go year. He asks, "Why will
young women starve at shopwork rath-
er than take to so honorable calling?"
