breeze around London, there is now
only one-that on Wimbledon Com
mon. Formerly the English fens were
full of them for pumping purposes
while Suffolk and Norfolk, once great
wheat-growing counties in Britain,
were studded with their familiar out
lines on every hilltop. They are con-
stantly to be met with in the find old
landscapes of Constable, Gainsborough
and Grove And very stimulating feat
ures in the landscapes they were, not
only because Of their size and the
pretty, jaunty little f1ier-vanes, with
their floats painted blue and scarlet,
that turned the tops OF the big tower
built brick mills automatically to trim
the sails to the wind as it shifted, but
| because, too, of the force and swift
motion and sense of power inspired by
the movement of those gigantic arms.
Fearful Joy to Children.
When a high, steady wind was blow
ing the rush of the great arms. the
rattle of the louvres, the creaking OF
the great pin that held on the sails,
the roar and crush and shake of the
millstones inside, were exciting TO the
ears even of grown-ups and a source
of fearful Joy to all children.
There were awful tales of bad boys
and girls-they called them bad
though they were but mischievous-
who tried to touch the sails as they
swept by on their downward track
and were whirled aloft by them; while
to climb the ladder stairs and peer
into the flour-whitened mill itself wa:
more than the hardest boy dare do, Sc
sacred did the millers, at all time!

There are still fine old-fashionet

they survive in Spain, where the an

Back to Conqueror's Time.

Back TO ConquerorS inc.
So far back as the eleventh century,
the century in which William the Nor
man conquered England, there were
windmills in Britain. This is estab-
lished by records about disputed titles
to mills, and in the history of the bat
tie of Lewes, in old Sussex, in the
time of Henry III, it is shown that
there stood a windmill on hill in the
Sussex capital, for on that occasion
it is recorded that the Kings brother,
Richard, Earl of Cornwall, took refuge
in a windmill with some German mer'
cenaries, and defended himself there
against Simon de Montford, who or
that occasion beat Henry III.
Before the windmill was invented
the duty of grinding the corn was de-
volved upon the women of house
hold. 1t was woman's duty from I'M
memorial times, not only in the east
where it still holds, but in early Brit
ain. For hours every day they were
like slaves, compelled by custom tc

TIE Western Wife

She walked behind the tagging mules
That drew the breaker through the soil:
Hers the early rising rules
Hers were the eyes OF wifely toll.
The smitten prairie blossoms fair,
The sod home faded from the scene.
Firm gables met the whispr ring air.
Deep porches lent repose serene.
But with ring brow and snowy tress
Bespeak the early days of srife;
And there's the deeper wrought impress
The untold pathos of the wife.
o western mother, in thy praise
No artist paints, nor poet sings,
But from the rosary of days
Gods angels shape immortal wings!
