In the Days Before Coal.

People sometimes wonder how their
forefathers got on In the days before
coal became the staple heater. They
Jared Ill. Wood was the chief com
modify in use, both in its natural state
and as charcoal, the latter being pre-
pared in the country and suburbs Of
London and brought into the city In
carts, the chief marts for its sale be-
ing at smithfield and on Cornhill. By
an enactment Of Richard II. 1t was de-
creed that the price of charcoal should
be fixed at .tenpence per quarter from
Michaelmas to Easter and eightpence
per quarter during the remainder of the
year, the regulation of it's sale-as we'll
as that of acknowledging committed
to the mayor and aldermen. Among
the poorer folk fern, reeds and stubble
served as food, and quite a common
method of keeping warm was to sit
over pots filed with hot water.-Lon-

freemen and therefore voters: At cleo.
ton times widows were consequently
paid handsomely to 60 through a for

agreed to support the candidate. The
pair were married. the man voted &C
cording to instructions, and then he
and his wife, standing on either side

part" With this literal fulhllment of
the matrimonial vow they regarded
their marriage dissolved! At the last
election In Bristol before 1882 hun

The Battery an Historic Spot.

New York city has nature at both
ends, the Bronx park at the north,
while at the southern extremity one
finds the Aquarium, which is so far
out Of the way as to be much neglect
ed. And what changes this spot has
seen! Originally a rocky point, with
few gums for defense, it became re-
sort for fresh air seekers and then was
serviceable for public meetings, for
which the enormous building was so
we'll adapted: Here Louis Kossuth de-
Hvered his fervent eloquence to SYM
pathizing crowds, and here Barnum
held the Jenny Lind concerts, as it
was the only building of sufficient size.
Then it became the entrance for i'm
igrants, where thousands first trod
American soil, and, last of all, it is
now the wonderful Aquarium, free to
the public. Magazine Of American HIS

The origin q the bulldog for q long
time has been . matter Of controversy,
although the origin Of the name has
been easy to dnd. It comes from the
dog that was used for bull batting, q
sport that was popular some years ago.
In attacking the bull the bulldog al
ways attacked him In front and usual
" fastened to his lip, tongue or eye
and would hold on In spite Of the
strenuous efforts Of the bull to shake
him of. Puppies Of six months Of
lge were sometimes tried against q
bull to see Of what mettle they were
made, although dog was not thought
ready for his best work until he was
fifteen or eighteen months Of age and
would not reach his prime until four
or five years. The bulldog OF today
is usually well past his prime at I've
years Of age. This undoubtedly has
been brought about by inbreeding In
order to get perfect show specimens,
and as a result their constitutions
