Plasterlng In Early Times.

The use of plaster or ''plaister," as
1t was formerly called, is of early date,
even in the British islands, in connec-
ton with domestic architecture. Long
before lime plaster came into general
use, a tenacious clay or sticky and
unctuous earth was employed when
procurable, and, in its absence, what.
ever clay or mixture of mud and earth
produced the most building material.
The rudest and coarsest forms of daub.
ing or plastering in the British isles
were those structures erected of wattles,
and daubed over with clay to keep out
the cold. This kind of domestic build
ings was common i'll Ireland in the time
of Henry ii. From necessity, or in
conformity to the fashion of that coun-
try, the English monarch erected.
according to Roger Hovenden, a royal
palace, with 'uncommon elegance" of
smoothed wattles in 1172, and in such
buildings his Majesty with the Kings
and Princes of Ireland solemnized the
feast of Christmas. The Devonshire
''cobb,n a class of buildings not yet
extinct, is o fair illustration of the
ancient fashion of daubing or plastering
practiced in this country for long CEN
turies. In the Thirteenth and Four
teenth centuries in this country tho
plasterers proper and the daubers
formed two distinct classes of building
workmen; and their wages, like the
wages of other operatives, were subject
to certain regulations Summer and
Winter. The daubers were simply the
layers on of mixture of straw and mud
TO framework of timber. The plas-
terers in London in the twenty-fourth
Edward III, (lS50) were bound to take
no more for their working day between
the feasts of Easter and st. Michael
than six pence, without victuals OF
drink, and for the remainder of tho
year five pence. Upon feast days, when
they did not work, they took jobbing.-

UnsOIyed cOnandrums.

My son, there are some things that
boys ought to know. At your age a
young man should be inquiring into
things. An apple fell at the feet of
Newton, and while he was wondering
how it was that as apples came down
cider went up, he discovered the law Of
gravitation, whereby farmers are en-
abled to put peck of apples in sew
en-quart basket. Now, every young
man should be observant, thoughtful,
and study great deal from the book
of human nature How does it come
that your party frequently selects a
ninety pound man for n two-ton Con-
gresham? Why and how does the
clerk with the smallest salary wear the
best clothesp Why does the smallest
town have the biggest MayorP Why is
the oath OF an amateur fisherman con-
sidered void and of no force in court?
Why does an alarm clock make the
loudest noise when you want to sleepp
Why does man s own dog always get
licked in tightP Why is it that your
2:30 horse can never trot inside of 3:75
when anybody else Is alongP Can you
rely upon the parsons word in horse
tradeP And il so, why notp Why is it
that the man who snorea always gets to
sleep iirstY Why is it right to steal
from the Government Why is .aa
farmer more honest than the city man?
And ifi so, how manyP Why does
spring chicken live longer than an
IostrichP Why does the man with the
fewest troubles make the most fuss
about them? Why is q man so much
better than his neighborsp How is it
the country goes along just as we'll
when Congress isn't in session. Why
does the man with the smallest adver-
tisement always want the biggest
"localp" Why does an ugly man have
such profound contempt for personal
beautyp Why does tramp hate soapP
Do the best men in America rule this
country Is the President always the
best and wisest man in the land? Does
the Judge really and truly know more
law than any of the lawyers who prac-
ticc in his comtP Is the Member of
Congress honestly and truly the most
intelligent and ablest man in the dis
trictP Are the members of the School
Board men of educationp Consider

"Fitz." brightly remarked the ami1
able Mrs. F tzgoober, as her husband
leaned back in his chair, and turned to
the atheletic department of the paper,

"Fliesr' echoed the astonished man;

ITO strike, of course; don't the paper
tell of the number of flies struck? and
il they knock them around that way

mean by fly, my deluded wife, is
knocking the ball into the all"
A blank look overspread the lady's
face as she replied:
'Oh, yes, l understand now--the fly

Eitz eyed her pityingly.
"No, there's no fly on the ball.
"Why do they call it fly, thenP"
because tho ball flies through the
