done something which as yet had not

FIRST COLONISTS
HAD FEW LUxURIES

n ARLY Yankees brought over
scant supplies of household fur
nishings. They came In small
ships, wdhich provided scarcely
enough room for themselves, their pro-
visions, clothing, ammunition and 9TH
er absolute necessities of life. Fortu-
nately, says the Boston Globe, they
found in the new country number of
things which served them well in ev-
eryday housekeeping. y
The first settlers of Plymouth built
rude huts for their first homes. The
people who came over with Winthrop
in June, 1880, either built huts with
bark and branches of trees or erected
tents of cloth till they could provide
themselves with better shelter" So
Hawthorne relates. Some settlers dug
little caves in the hillsides and rooted
them over with branches of trees.

Choir Couldn't See It,

The choir of a village church had
sung an anthem in fine style, with
all its might and strength, till the
very roof of the old church seemed
to vibrate with tremendous uproar. At
the close of the anthem the lesson
for the day was begun. And after
the uproar was ceased" the parson
read out, in clear and sonorous
voice. The whole congregation i'm
mediately Uttered audibly, but the
choir could not understand the joke.

In Prehistoric DAYS.

Ilford, in Essex, England, is famous
in the annals of geological research,
discoveries there giving an idea of the
dangerous state of the Thames valley
at an early date in its history. The
elephant, the rhinoceros and the bear
roamed wild and the prehistoric trav-
eler who lodged them still ran the
risk of encountering the tiger or the
bison. The number of teeth discov-
cred at Ilford shows the elephant to
have been particularly common.
