Where the Mississippi is Is Miles
Wide,
Ftom the st Louis Globe-Democrat

Clear away these sycamores, cotton
woods and willows and the voyager set
ting forth from Cairo at this time would
appreciate the magnitude Of the inland
sea. The Mississippi at this junction
with the Ohio, extends from the hills of
Kentucky to the higher land of Mis-
souri,, a distance of twelve miles in per-
haps it's narrowest part Where the
bottoms give it opportunity to spread
itself on both sides, the width ranges up
to twenty-five miles or more. Let it be
remembered that there is downward
current over all this great expanse.

Our Forefathers' Homes.

Broad-minded men, and women also,
are trying to SO house the poor that they
may be tidy and comfortable and healthy
The effort is an illustration Of the
good sense which characterizes the phil
anthropy of the age. This characters
tic has been impressed upon it by sci
ence. For it teaches that hygine, or
the promotion and preservation Of health
is an indispensable aid in growing good
citizens.
Bad as the dwellings of the poor arein
cities, and in the country also, they are
as class far superior to those in which
our AngloSaxon ancestors lived. IF a
serf, the Saxon lived in hut not as
genteel as some Of our modern pig-styes
and far less comfortable.
Il he was gentleman, his home con-
sisted of hall, with little rooms on the
outside surrounded by an earthwork
The rude walls of the hall were covered
with some sort of hangings, on which
we're hung arms and trophies of the
chase. The floor was of earth strewn
with rushes. Fire was made in the
middle of the hall and the smoke,
found it's way out Of little hole in the
roof.
In this rude hall he breahfasted at
nine and dined at three o'clock. It was
considered disgraceful for a gentleman
to dine alone Everybody was welcomed
with a lavish hospitality.
The stranger brought news, no mean
gift to an -of-the-way country squire,
who had no newspaper and couldn't
have read it if one had been placed
alongside of his breakfast plate, or
rather bread-slice. For they used thick
slices Of bread, as plates were then IN
known, on which to place the portions
of meat These slices were called
trenchers, because they were to be carved
upon. Forks were unknown
A Norman baron is reported to have
been SO hospitable that he turned the
kings highway through the middle Of
the hall of his manor He did so in
order that no traveller might have an
excuse for passing without partaking of
his hospitality.
Seated on high wooden seat, the
Anglo-Saxon gentleman presided at his
dinner of boiled bacon, which, with
bread and vegetable, mead and beer,
was the principal dish. Quantity made
up for the deficiency in quality
He and his guests drank heavily.
Drunkenness and sloth marked his daily
life. Drinking cups were so made as
not to stand upright. They had to be
emptied at draught. Buckets were
used to carry the mead OF oil to the
guests. When the Saxon gentleman OF
lady slept, he rested on bench upon
which a sack filled with straw had been
placed Neither he nor his wife wore
night-dress
The change from these rude customs
into more refined style of living was
due to the Norman conquest. It pol
lshed the Saxons, manners, and infused
into their sloth the energy characteristic
Of the English race. The transition re-
CURED time. For long period the Sax
Ons resisted the advance of the refined
Norman manners and customs, as re-
Winding them of their servilc condition.
The conquered, however, had his re-
venge--he forced his language upon his
conqueror. The process was simple
but effective. The unmarried Normans
selected their wives from among the
beautiful Saxon maidens, and these
naturally taught children their native
tongue.
