CHRISTMAS DAY OF ~DevIL"
Printers Lad, Waiting for Copy From
Mason, Spent Holiday In the
Authors House.

II happened that sad Christmas
tide Of 1868, when Thackeray lay
dead and all the London papers were
busy with his name, my father re-
ceived a hurried little note from Ed
ward Levy-after Levy Lawson, the
present Lord embarrassing him
TO write the article for the Daily Tele-
graph on Thackeray's death.( found
the note not long ago among some
papers II was dated December %.
1862" and asked my father to do
for us today leader on the present
condition Of English literature apro-
pos Of the death OF Thackeray." And
there was postscript: The bearer
VIII walk about the country till you
tell him to return for copy"
The story Of that little printers
devil and how he spent his Christmas
day In our house In Finchley road
has been handed. downnin the family
annals. He may, in obedience to his
employer, have taken little walk
about the wintry Hampstead or Kill
burn fields, but he most certainly and
sensibly came back to eat his Christ
mas dinner; believe he was with us
all day. It must have been quite late
at night when the parlor maid, so the
story foes, looked into the study with
a rather scared face and whispered
to my mother: Please, ma'am, the
devil has been sitting by the kitchen
fire the whole evening and cook says
hadn't she better give him a hot sup

OLD-FASHIONED SWEET HERBS
Lavender, Thyme, Rosemary and 9th
ers That Give Forth Odors Both
Fresh and InVigoratlna

spent most of my schoolday holi-
days at my grandmother's place, in
Yorkshire, England, where many of
the customs of Queen Anne's time re-
main unchanged. So to me lavender
and herbs seemed indispensable in a
selfrespecting household, and, as soon
as / owned a garden, they were in
stalled.
At grandmothers sheer muslin bags,
filled with lavender, thyme and rose
mary, were kept in every cupboard,
bureau drawer and chest. Large jars,
filled with rose leaves and mignonette,
all the herbs and many spices, we're
slowed in the sitting rooms and halls,
the lids were removed for about half
an hour each day, after sweeping and
busting were done, so that a faint,
indescribable perfume permeated the
whole house, and was most delight
full.
Even physicians agree that sweet
odors are beneficial and valuable as
disinfectants. Those who have never
experienced the delight Of sleeping
between sheets redolent of sweet
herbs have before them a Joy that
will not soon be forgotten. Punk
sticks and pastillies have a positive
odor, pleasing for a time, but it be-
comes tiresome; herbal Odors are
fresh and invigorating- V. St.

Where David copperfeId Was Writer

BLEAK House" at Broadstairs, Eng
land, which has failed to find a pur-
chaser, is of interest to the Dickens
lover because the greater part OF
David Copperfield" was written there
But II is not the BLEAK House" of
the novel, which is definitely located
in Hertfordshire. The novelist and
his family appear 10 have been some-
what tightly packed in their Broad
stairs home. When Lord Carlisle con-
tenIpiaeed paying visit to Our wa
tering place" In 1851, Dickens wrote
promising him the North Foreland
Lighthouse for a night light in his
bedroom, and he continues: GAS we
think of putting mignonette boxes out
side the windows for the younger chill
dren to sleep in by and by, | am
afraid We should give your servant
the cramp if We hardly undertook to
lodge him" During the last few years
the house has been transformed out
of all recognition.

Great Saving Of Time.

The manager of one of the electric
light companies of the western part
Of the country has greatly facilitated
the business of making the monthly
readings Of meters by having these
instruments placed on the rear
porches of houses instead of in the
cellars. About half of ths meters o.
this company are now located in some
convenient and protected place In the
rear OF the house. where II is always
accessible without regard to the pres
ence or absence Of the inmates OF the
house. The result is that the average
time formerly consumed by the in.
spector has been cut about In half.
