when Coal Was Prohibited.

II makes the present generation smile
TO read the accounts which have coma
down To Us concerning the prejudices
which were formerly entertained against
certain articles which are now of ev-
eryday consumption.
For instance, II is said that when coal
was first used In England the preju-
dice against ii was so strong that the
house OF commons petitioned the king
10 prohibit the use Of the "noxious"
fuel
royal proclamation having failed to
nDate the nuisance. a commission was
issued to ascertain who burned coal
within the city of London and its neigh
borhood. to punish them by fines for
the first offense and by the demolition
or their furnaces if they persisted In
transgressinR. a law was finally pass
cd making 1t capital offense to burn
coal In the city and only permitting IL
TO be used by FORCES in the vicinity. IT
is stated that among the records In the
Tower of London n document was
round according to which man was
hanged in the time Of Edward I. for
no other crime than having been
caught burning coal. 1t took three
centuries TO entirely efface the preju-
dice.-London Answers.
