HOME LIFE HUNDRED YEARS AGO One
hundred years ago not pound of coal or a
cubic foot of illuminating gas had been burn
ed in the country. No iron stoves were used
and no contrivances for economizing heat
were employed until DIR. Franklin invented
the iron framed fireplace which still bears his
name. All the cooking and warming 10 town
as well as in the country were done by the
aid of q fire kindled on the brick hearth or in
the brick ovens. Pine knots or tallow candles
furnished the light for the long winter nights
and sanded floors supplied the place of rugs
and carpets. The water used for household
purposes was drawn from deep wells with the
creaking sweep. No form Of pump was used
in this country SO far as we can learn until al
ter the commencement of the present century.
There were no friction matches in those days
by the aid of which fire could be easily
kindled, and IL the fire went out upon the
hearth over night and the finder was damp SO
that the spark would not catch the alternative
remained of wading through the snow mile
or two TO borrow brand Of q neighbor. Only
one room in any house was warm unless some
member Of the family was III, in allsthe rest
the temperature was at aero many nights in
winter. The men and women of hundred
years ago undressed and went to their beds in
temperature colder than that Of our barns
and woodsheds and they never complained.

1t is related of a well-known merchant Of a
neighboring city that, after making his will
and leaving a large property to trustees for
his son, he called the young man in, and, after
reading the will to him, asked II there was
any alteration or improvement he could sug-
gest. "Wen, father" said the young gentle
man, lighting cigarette. 81 think as things
go now a-days it would be better for me II
you left the property to the other fellow and
and made me the trustee" The old gentle
man made up his mind then and there that
the young man was quite competent to take
charge of his own inheritance, and scratched
the trustee clause out.
