Stoves of the Middle Ages.

The stoves of the Middle Ages and
of the era of the Roman empire and
throughout Germany and Scandina-
via generally were built of brick,
tiles or similar material, and were
so large as to be stationary, some
times taking up the whole side of a
room; and in the latter country in
winter the touches and blankets were
spread thereon and the family used
them in lieu of the bedsteads of sub
sequent years.
The fire was built at the bottom,
and the heat and smoke passed
through various fues, distributing
warmth, before they made their exit
to the chimney. Some of them were
faced with porcelain, and were high,
ly ornamental. 1t may be remem-
bered that a specimen of one of these
was shown in the Swedish depart
ment of the Centennial exposition IN
Philadelphia in 1876. Philadelphia

An Organ in the Tenth Century.

Wolston speaks of an organ con-
tanning 400 pipes which was erected
in the Tenth century in England.
This instrument was blown by "thir-
teen separate pairs of bellows" 1t
also contained a large keyboard.
There are drawings Of that period
extant which represent the organ as
an instrument having but few pipes,
blown by two or three persons and
usually performed on by a monk.
The keys, which e played upon
by hard blows Of the fist, were very
clumsy and from four to six inches
broad.
About the end of the Eleventh
century semitones were introduced
into the keyboard, but to all appear.
ances it's compass did not extend be-
yond three octaves. The introduc-
ton of pedals in 1890 by Bernhardt
giving a compass B flat to A-was
another important contribution tc
the instrument. These were merely
small pieces of wood operated by the
toe of the player. Daniel Spillane IN

Origin oe tho Roman Numerals.

OTIE1n OF TIC IeOhh"
Silas B. Beach, in his treatise on
the alphabet, numerals and harac
ters, says: l will now give you some
observations on the origin OF the 10
man numerals. Hold up your hands
before YOU. palms outward, thumbs
at an acute angle. Begin on the lett;
little finger. |: little and ring niger,
II; little finger. ring finger and MD
die finger, III; all the fingers or the
left hand, iii; the hand and thumb
at an acute angle form a perfect V;
or, in place Of the ILL. as gwen
above, use the fourth finger from
the left, still holding the thumb at an
acute angle, and we have the ~.
Now pass to the right hand. The
thumb and hand held at the same
angle as before gives us vi; by using
the index and middle finger we get
the characters VII. while the thumb
and the three large fingers make a
plain VIII. Now join the two VS.
made by the thumbs, inverting one,
and we have X OF ten. Then use the
X with the last little figure before 1t
and it will give TX.
The combinations following X are
obvious. The forefinger OF the left
hand with the thumb at right angle
makes a perfect l.; the little finger
of the left hand curved toward the
thumb, a C, the initial of centum
lone hundred), and SO on with the
hundreds. Now join the two thumbs
with the forefingers, OF two VS. in

1000 mark and you have the hero

SHE MARRIED HIM.
4 Shamefaced Groom Was About to Leave
His Intended Bride to Her Fate.

A Shamefaced Groom Was About to Leave
His Intended Bride to Her Fate.
In the old Colonial day, when a
well to do woman owned one silk
dress, wore it for a lifetime and then
~bequeathed it still in good condition
to her children. the buying OF that
precious garm ut was a serious mat
ter indeed. At sixteen, If her father
could afford to buy it for her, a girl
was considered OF age to possess the
coveted gown and sweep proudly
forth in it to full young ladyhood.
Often a country girl would travel
many miles with father or brother
to select the fabric in the nearest
large town. Often, too, the purchase
was deferred until she was about to
marry, and she went instead with
the young man of her choice and
the couple bought at the same time
their household furniture and the
wedding dress of the bride.
It is pleasant to think of the min
gled delight and anxiety OF such a
pair of old time lovers out shopping
together; but there is n instance
at least on record where the expedi-
ton ended in disaster.
A young man and maiden from
old Newbury had ridden to Boston, a
journey of forty miles, on horseback,
the prospective bride mounted be-
hind her betrothed upon a pillion.
They had relatives in the city with
whom they staid over night. and
were thus enabled to make their pur-
chases at their leisure, with careful
consideration for each.
At length everything was bought
or bargained for, and the bundles
securely tied up and arranged for the
return journey, but when the mo
ment arrived for the bride to re-
mount upon the pillion she found
some difficulty in accomplishing the
feat, and to make it easier for her
the horse was brought close to the
side of a large hogshead, standing in
what is now Dock square, Boston.
With the aid of box she mounted
to the top and was about to step
thence to the horses back, when the
heading gave way beneath her feet
and she was precipitated with a
splash and a shrek into the contents
of the hogshead, which was filled to
the brim with good West India molas-
SEES!
Blinded, sticky and suffering, the
unfortunate young woman cried for
help and struggled vainly to scram-
BILE out of her sugary prison. She
could do nothing unassisted, and
when she had cleared her eyes sutfi-
GENTLY to look for her escort she be-
held that unworthy gallant, over
whelmed by the ridicule of the situa-
ton, in the act of riding away and
leaving her to her fate.
"Joseph!' she screamed desper-
ately after his retreating figure,
"Josephl Joseph! You come back
and get me out of this kag O sweet
enin or IIlnever marry you-never!"
Joseph returned. The deserted
bride, who must certainly have pos
sessed an exceptionally forgiving dis
position, pardoned and married him,
and the story of their misadventure
has been handed down among their
descendants to the present day

The Light.

Secretary Langley, of the Smith
sonian institution, has been expert
menting for some time past with fire
flies from Cuba. He says that the
light they give is the cheapest in
the world produced, that is to say
with the least heat and the smallest
expenditure of energy; and he be-
lieves that a successful imitation
of it would prove a most profitable
substitute for gas and electricity.
