have been premz4sdreiy aged and in

aswellas such sympathetic affections as
anRmia, ehlOrOsis, hysteria, nervous

An Anecdote of Dumas.

Speaking of Alexandra Dumas. a
writer says that his chief characters
tic was his utter disregard of money.
He made millions. but never had a
franc at his command. For example,"
said he. upon one occasion Dumas had
invited company to dinner. and. find
ing that he did not stand possessed Of
a single cent. drove to a friends and
asked him to lend him 2 louis. This his
friend readily did, and as Dumas was
taking his leave suggested, as he had
just been getting some very fine pic
kles. he would be glad to give him jar
to add to his dinner. The servant was
sent for the pickles. and when he put
the jar in the carriage. Dumas. having
no other change about him. dropped
the louis In the mans hand"

OLD ENGLISH HOMES.
The Hall Was the Principal Apart.
ment In the Middle Ages.

Amid all the luxury Of a modern
home it is hard to realize how our
Anglo-Saxon ancestors lived in what
now would seem condition of utter
discomfort. Comfort was, however,
gradually evolved, and the present ar
ticle deals with the time when a re-
fined condition of domestic life was
first beginning to assert itself.
In this connection it must be remem-
bered that during the middle ages in
England there was a general revolu-
ton in society. A new class had late
ly sprung into existence Feudalism
had been destroyed and the middle and
lower elements of the population were
rising.
With their social betterment came an
improvement both in house construc-
ton and interior arrangement Narrow
streets were still the order Of the day,
sadly out of keeping with our modern
ideas of sanitary requirements, while
the houses were chiefly Of the half
timber" kind, sonfe of which had the
lower story of stone and those above,
each projecting over the one below,
consisted of a timber framework filled
In with bricks. 1t was a picturesque
fashion. but it did not provide sum
shine and air.
The rooms were usually small and
dark. The hall was the principal pub
lie apartment and remained the only
part of the house unaffected by the
growing taste for domestic privacy.
The general arrangement of this very
important part of the house is made
apparent to us in such pictures as that
| of the Hundred Mems HalP' at st.
Cross, near Winchester.
AS the hall was the usual scene Of
domestic festivities it was consid-
, cred necessary to have a gallery for
| musicians. Sometimes this gallery oc-
| cupied two sides. though usually It
was placed at one end. opposite the
dais. In large halls the fireplace was
still in the middle. where there was
| constructed a low platform of stone Of
a kind that may be seen i'm an old cut
representing the fireplace in the great
hall at Penshurst, Kent. Large iron
dogs, or andirons, supported the logs.
In some parts of England they were
called "cob irons" A group Of orna-
mental fire irons of the sixteenth GEN.
tury is most interesting. Often an Inn
plement placed beneath the firedog was
used for moving logs.
The walls of the hall were usually
furnished with tapestry, and in the
middle was a table with a bench on
each side. There were also a cupboard,
or hutch" with side tables, one or two
chairs and perhaps settle" Chairs
were still comparatively rare. Buffet
stools were generally provided, and
these commonly had hole through the
miedle for lifting them.-Home Beaud
