and how eagerly you leap to assist in extnguishing

How well you know, and how many times you
have thought it, that the time to put out fire
is In the beginning; when the flames are small and
the pressure of a foot even will stamp them out
And yet, although you know this, although you
fully realize the necessity of quick work and the
da ger OF delay in of fire, in those insidious
fires OF disease which break out in our bodies aud
which threaten health and life you stupidly

Do you not know that the small flames in

THE SAXON HOUSE.
How the Englishmen Lived in
Ancient Times.

The house, eithe. in Saxon or Norman
time, presented no kind of resemblance
10 the Roman villa. 1t had no cloisters,
no hypocaust, no suite or sequence of
rooms. This unlikeness is another proof,
IL any were wanting, that continuity of
tenure was wholly broken. If the Saxons
went into London, as has been suggested,
peaceably, and left the people to carry
on their old life and their trade in their
own way, the Roman and British archi-
lecture, no new thing, but style grown
up in course of years and found fitted to
the climate, would certainly have re-
manned. That, however, was not the
case. The Englishman developed his
house from the patriarchal idea. First
there was the common hall: in this the
household lived, fed, transacted bust
ness, aud made their cheer in the even
ings. 1t was built of timber, and to
keep out the cold draughts it was lined
with tapestry; at first simple cloths,
which in great houses were embroidered
and painted: perches Of various kinds
were affixed to the walls, whcreon the
weapons, the musical instruments, the
cloaks, etc., were hung. The Lord and
Lady sat in a high seat: not, am in
clined to think, on dais ut the end of
the hall, which would have been cold
for them, but on great chair near the
fire, which was burning in the middle of
the hall. 1 have myself seen college
hall warmed by fire in hrazier burning
-unuer Jnc lantern or the hall. The furni-
ture consisted of benohcs: tho table
was laid on tresues, spread with q white
cloth, and removed after dinner. The
hall was open to all who came, on con-
dition that the guest left his weapons at
the door. The floor was covered with
reeds, which made a clean, soft, aud
warm carpet, on which the company
could, If they pleased, lie round the fire.
They had carpets or rugs also, but reeds
were commonly used. The traveller who
CHANGED to find himself at the ancient
town of Kingston on Hull, which very
lew English people, and still fewer
Americans, have the curiosity to explore,
should visit the Trinity House. There,
anon G many interesting things, he will
find hall where reeds are still spread,
but no longer so thickly as to form a
complete carpet. The times of meals
were the breakfast at about nine; the
hACuby VI oAuuCi, ~ tNCANC, uu0
the seven meat" or supper, probably
at movable time depending on the
length of the day. When lighting was
costly and candles were scarce, the hours
of sleep would be naturally longer in
winter than in the summer. In their
manner Of living the Saxons were fond
Of vegetables, especially of the lcek,
onion, and garlic. Beans they also had
(these were introduced probably at the
time when they commenced Intercourse
with the outer world), pesse, radishes,
turnips, parsley, mint, sage, cress, rue,
and other herbs. They had nearly all
our modern fruits, though many show by
their names, which are Latin or Norman,
later introduction. They made use Of
butter. honey, and cheese. They drank
ale and mead. The latter is still made,
but in small quantities, in Somersetshire.
The Norman brought over the custom Of
drinking wine. :, Aarpers Magazine.
