keeper had no canned fruits, meats and
vegetables. She could get no condensed
milk no cocoa and but little chocolate
Fire was kindled with the tinder and box.
and candles and pipes we're usually Iieht

matoes were not eaten. aud neither ice nor
refrigerator we're known in domestic
life.
No photograph of any kind had ever
been taken; garden hose and water proof
garments were unknown, and oyershoes
were but Just thought Of fifty years ago.
Cooling soda water and ice cream were not
at hand. sewing was done by band and
household linen was spun and woven At
home. The was no gas nor electric light
nor kerosene. whale oil and tallow can
dies were the sole reliance for light. Coal
vac hardly known aud wood was eyery
body's fuel.
Table forks were made OF steel, and had
'ut two prongs. Every body put food IN.
o his mouth with bis knife, aud the ban
lama was the predecessor of tho napkin.
