Fifty Years Ago.

Fifty years ago the only fuel at
Washington was wood--maple, oak,
walnut, or pine, brought in by the
neighboring farmers. Making
fire was an art, as it would never
do to let the fire get behind the
backlog, and good housewives
prided themselves on their clean
hearths. All the cooking was done
before huge wood fires with masses
Of live Goals, TO be heaped on the
cover of the Ouch oven, or to glow
beneath the gridiron. Then came
the fuel-saving, cast-iron stoves,
Franklin having invented one
which bore his name, for parlor
use. The first kitchen stoves were
known as the template stoves.
Another variety had a small fire.
box near the hearth from which
rose two sections of stovepipe,
which supported at a height of
about three and O half feet from
the floor a round oven, looking
somewhat like a gigantic piece Of
stovepipe laid crosswise. Those
stoves were famous bakers, and so
endeared themselves to the hearts
Of woman kind. There was stove
that turned with a crank; that is
to say, the top turned, and il you
wanted TO bring a particular kettle
over the fire all you had to do was
to turn a crank until the top Of
the stove, working on a gear,
brought the kettle to the required
spot. There was another stove, in
some respects the most remark

The Judge and the Conductor.

A young lawyer once quite forgot him

Chinneys.


that we forget that there was a
time when they were unknown,
They we're invented about the
same time with clocks and watches,
No house in ancient Rome Or Ath-
hens had them. The Greeks and
Romans heated their rooms with
hot Goals in dish, or by fues be-
meath the floor, and the smoke
passed out the doors and windows.
You could always tell when Ro-
man was about to give a dinner
party, by the clouds of smoke that
came out of the kitchen windows.
1t must have been very unpleasant
for the cooks, who had to do their
work in the midst of it.
The tall chimneys that rise over
the tops of the houses in New
York and Brooklyn, pouring out
their clouds of smoke, would have
seemed miracles to our ancestors
few centuries ago. Even the
pipe of steamer or a chimney of
kerosene lamp they would have
thought wonderful. In England,
in the time of the Conqueror (l066)
the fire was built on a clay floor,
or in hole or pit in the largest
room of the house. The smoke
passed through an opening in the
roof. AT night a cover was placed
over the GOALS. Everybody was by
law obliged to cover up his fire
when the bell rang at a certain
hour. In French, this was couvre-
feu, and hence the "curfew" bell.
Chimneys began to be used gen
orally in England in the beginning
of the reign of Elizabeth. No
one knows who invented them, or
when they first came into use.
We find them first in Italy. In
Venice they seemed to have been
not uncommon as early as 1347.
In 1868 they had long been in use
at Padua. They were at first built
very wide and large, so that they
could be easily cleaned. The
wide chimney-pieces of some of
our older houses are very curious.
But as time passed on, chimneys
were made taller, narrow, and
often crooked. When they had to
be cleaned, it was customary to
send boys up into them to remove
the SCOT and ashes. 1t was then
that the saddest stories were told
of the little sweeps, who were
forced to climb the narrow fiues,
and come down torn, bleeding, and
covered with SCOT. These poor
creatures, who were often not
more than seven or eight years
old, we're sometimes suffocated in
the foul chimneys they attempted
to clean. When they reached the
top, they were expected to look
out and give a loud shout. No
boy would ever become chimney
sweep from choice, and they were
often driven to climb the chimneys
from fear of a whipping. The
cruelty of the master-sweeps was
fearful. But the little chimney
sweeper has passed away, and his
place is taken by a patent broom
and colored operator.
In the days before chimneys
were invented, men lived in clouds
of smoke. The walls of the finest
palaces in ancient Rome were soon
covered with SCOT and filth. II
was impossible to keep them clean
The mosaics and the paintings on
the wall soon became discolored
In the castles of England and
France it was still worse. Here
the huge fire blazed in the center
of the great hall. The smoke GOV.
cred the roof with black drapery
and the savage knights and squire'
were forced either to endure the
cold, or to live and breathe in al
air that was dangerous to sight
health, and life itself.-fSe
