IN THE MIDDLE AGES
IGNORANCE AND FILTH CHIEF
CHARACTERISTICS.
Poverty, With Its Accompanying Con-
ditions. Shortened the Lives Of the
PeopIe--.Leper Hospitals In Thou
sands In Europe.

The home Of the laborer in the
nineteenth century contains furniture
and utensils which In the fourteenth
century would have represented the
highest grade of luxury. Employment
for the laborer must have been pre-
carious and the pay disgracefully
small. Food was scare and of the
kind which contains almost no nour-
ishment. Tools of labor, even Of the
ineflcient and few in number. as we'll
as hard to get. IL the whole stock Of
a carpenters tools comprised two
~broadaxes, an adze, a square and q
spoke shave. how limited must have
been the scope of his operations. Az
r%iculture was a farce, for the yield
OF wheat to the acre was considered
good IL it reached six bushels.
In the fourteenth century people
lived in mud huts, with q rough door
and no chimney. 1t was not till .
century later that the erection Of a
chimney was considered more than an
indulgence in luxury, a fire commonly
being built against the mud plastered
wall Of the hut and the smoke escap-
ing through the roof. All furniture
was of wood. Even the nobility had
no glass in the windows during this
time. Cleanliness was not a charac-
t~eristic of the people, and Thomas
a Beckett was considered more thar
necessarily nice because he had the
| floor Of his house strewn with fresh
straw each day.
The rich in the middle ages con
cealed a want of cleanliness in their
homes and persons under a profusion
of costly scents. and to swarm with
) vermin was no disgrace. When
Erasmus visited England In the reign
of Henry VIII. he complained bitterly
of the nastiness Of the people and at
tributed the frequent plaques to this
cause. He said: THE floors are
commonly of clay. strewed with rush
es, under which lie unm0lested a col.
lection of beer. grease. fragments Of
bones. spittle and excYement of cats
and dogs, and OF everything which ID
nauseous." The densest ignorance
prevailed among the masses. Investi.
cation has led to the conclusion that
the average duration Of human life
at that period was not half what 1t ID
at the present day. Bad food and
want Of cleanliness swept away the
people Of the middle ages by ravagea
upon their health that the limited
skill Of the time could not resist. A
historian Of that time states hat there
were no less than twenty thousand
leper hospitals in Europe. 1t Is well
to remember when We feel inclined
to complain Of the hard times in our
day that such . state would have
been unheard of opulence four hun
dred years ago.-New York Herald.

TUESDAY, MAY %. 1905.
WYOMING IN THE STAND PAT
COLUMN.

In an interview in he Washington
Post Senator Warren declares that the
discussion of the Panama canal com
missions alleged intention to purchase
goods in the pen market is a tempest
in a teapot n that it has nothing
whatever to do with the tariff revision.
Senator Warren classes himself with
the stand %patters," the men who hold
to the view that there is no necessity
at the present time or in the neal fu-
ture to tinker with the tariff. Wyo-
ming's interests are all in opposition
to meddling with the rates of duty.
New England are pleased to call raw
materials. They are our finished pro-
ducts. The manufacturers of New
England would be very glad to see wool
and hides placed on the free list, but
they are in opposition to any plan that
would reduce the duties on clothing,
shoes, etc. 1t all depends on the OK
that is being gored, hence the wisdom
of permitting rates to stand that have
brought the nation up out of the mire
into the greatest prosperity the world
has ever known. If the tinkering is
begun, there is no telling just where
it will end. Business is adjusted to
the established rates. Any attempt to
make a general change would throw
the markets into a waiting condition
and upset business from one end of
the nation to the other.
No matter what New England may
want, Wyoming's bread and butter is
on the side Of protection OF raw ma
terials. Wyoming raises wool and
hides and is Dol to get extensively
into the raising of sugar beets. All Of
the great industries which are making
her famous thrive under protection
and languish under free trade. The
experiment has been tried to our sor-
row.
Senator Warren's position is the
only tenable n for Wyoming to oc.

From Fridays Daily.
There was quite blaze at the resi-
dence of Thomas J. Hupp, travelling
agent for the Standard Oil company.

streets, Wednesday evening at 6:30
o'clock. The servant girl struck match
to light the gas in the dining room,
when piece of the head flew off and
set fire to the curtain The flames
spread rapidly, and the young woman
called Merle and Don Hupp, who were
on the second floor. They FASTENED
down and put the fire out with water
The curtain and window shade and the
woodwork were burned, as was also Il
couch cover and couch pad, and the
backs of a couple of chairs that stood
near the window. The floor was also
burned little, and the window panes
were cracked by the heat and the rug
damaged by water. 1t was fortunate
that the fire was stopped when it was.
Mr.. Hupp's household goods are in
sured with Theodore Williams, and a
satisfactory settlement was made yes
