Home Life a Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago not a pound
Of coal or a cubic foot Of illumins-
ting gas had been burned in the coun-
try. No iron stoves used and con-
trivance for ee0nomiziug heat were
employed until Dr. Franklin Invented
the iron framed fireplace which still
bears bis name. All the cooking and
warming in town as well as in the
country, were done By the aid Of ire
kindled on the brick hearth or in
brick ovens. Pine knots or tallOw
candles furnished the light
for the long winter nights, land
sanded floors supplied the place Of
rugs aad carpets. The water used
for household purposes was drawn
from deep wells by the creaking
sweep" No form Of pump vas
used in the country, 80 far Is We can
learn, until the commencement Of the
present century. There were no
friction matches in those early days,
By the aid Of which ire could be
easily kindled, and If the FIRE went

would not catch, the alternative re-
mained Of wading through the snow
