OlD ENGLISH HOUSES,
In the Days of Wooden Huts, Thatched
Roofs and Clay Floor*.
The habitations of English common
people for centuries consisted of a
wooden hut of one room, with the Are
built in the center. To this hut, if a
man increased In family and wealth, a
lean-to was added and later another
and another. The roofs were of thatch,
the beds of loose straw or straw beds
with bolsters of the same laid on the
floor or perhaps eventually shut in by
a shelf and ledge like the berths of a
ship or by a small closet.
The Saxon thane or knight built
a more pretentious "hail,” a large open
room like tlie lloman atrium with a
lofty roof thatched or covered with
slates or wooden shingles. In the cen
ter of the hard clay floor burned great
Ares of dry wood, whose thin acrid
smoke escaped from openings in the
roof, above the hearth or by the doors,
windows and openings under the eaves
of tile thatch.
By day the “hearthsmen” and visi
tors, when not .working or fighting, sat
on long benches on cither side of the
fire and, as John Hay puts it, “calmly
drlnked and jawed” or, gathering at
long hoards placed on trestles, regal
ed themselves on some sort of porridge
with fish and milk or meat and ale.
At night straw or rushes spread on
the floor foriued beds for t lie entire
company in the earlier and ruder days,
when the “baser sort” were glad to
share their straw with the cows.—Na
tional Magazine.
SEEING THE WIND.
Easy to Watch the Air Currents Flow
ing Like a Waterfall.
It Is said thnt any one may actually
see the wind by means of a common
handsaw. The experiment is simple
enough to be' worth trying at least.
According to those who have made the
experiment, all that Is necessary is a
handsaw and a good breeze.
On any blowy day hold the saw
against the wind—that is, if the wind
is in the north hold the saw with one
end pointing east and the other ■west.
Hold the saw with the teeth upper
most and tip it slowly toward the ho
rizon until it is at an angle of about
forty-five degrees.
By glancing along the edge of the
teeth you can “see the wind.” It will
be pouring over the edge of the saw
much after the manner that water
pours over a waterfall. This is doubt
less due to the fact that there are
always fine particles of dust in the
air, nnd in a strong breeze the wind
forces against the slanting sides of
the saw. slides up the surface and
suddenly “pours over” when it reaches
the top.
It Is doubtless the tiny particles that
make the air dust laden that can be
seen falling over the edge of the saw
ns the wind current drops, but it is
about ns near as any one can get to
seeing the wind under normal condi
tions.—Washington Post.
Humor In Old Wills.
A certain Lieutenant Colonel Nash
left an annuity to the bell ringers of
Bath to “toll dolefully" on each anni
versary of his wedding day, nnd con
trite Mr. Withipol of Walthamstow
left the bulk of Ills property to his
wife, "trusting,” he says—“yen, I may
I say ns I think, assuring myself—thnt
I she will marry no man for fear to meet
I with so evil a husband as I have been
to her.”
Mr. Jasper Mayne at least considered
himself witty when he bequeathed to
his valet a wornout portmanteau, ns it
contained something, said the will,
which would make him drink. The
excited valet ripped open the trunk
nnd found a red herring in It. So,
doubtless, did the Scotch gentleman
who in 1S77 left to his son’s care his
two worst watches, “because,” he said,
“I know he is sure to dissect them.”—
St James’ Gazette.
Wonderful Memory.
A few years ago there was a team
ster in Milwaukee named Israel Mullln
who was able to tell at the end of the
week the number of loads and their
weights be had hauled for the six days
past without so much as a figure on I
paper. It wonld have been useless to
furnish him with paper and pencils,
his memory was found to be unerring.
He was dismissed once for using liquor
too freely and a man appointed to his
place who used pencil and paper. The
first week the pencil and paper man
made over a dozen errors, and Mullin
got his Job back.—Pittsburgh Press.
Knew Traveling Men.
“She’s a sensible girl,” said the first
traveling man.
“You bet she is," said the second.
“Inst night wh^n ^ took her to dinner
before ordering she asked me if I was
going to pny the check myself or work
it Into the expense account”—Detroit
Free Press.
Minority’s Power.
“You believe in tbe will of the ma
Jority, of course.”
“Well,” replied Three Fingered Sam,
“it’s all right, theoretical; but It.vfon’t
always work out In practice. I’ve seen
two men bold up a whole tralnlond of
people.”—Washington Star.

MEXICAN POTTERY.
Primitive Methods of the Skilled
Workmen of Durango.
Practically all the pottery used In
the Durango section of Mexico, from
the tiniest teacup to the largest flower
pot, Is fashioned h.v hand from Duran
go clay. There are about twenty such
factories lu the city, employing from
live to fifty men each. The clay used
kn this industry is obtained from tho
base of Durango’s famous Iron Moun
tain, one mile north of the city.
The vessels nre all fashioned by hand
and foot power. The only instrument
used Is a large wooden wheel, through
the axis of which passes n pole about
three feet hi length, terminating at
the other extremity in a small wooden
wheel set parallel to the big wheel.
The operator sits so that he may turn
the large wheel (set horizontally near
the floor so* that it will move freely)
with Ids foot, which in turn causes
the little wheel ubove, on a level with
his chest, to revolve very rapidly. A
convenient sized lump of the clay
dough Is placed upon this little wheel,
and as the mass revolves by the im
pulse of the laborer's loot, he hollows
out and fashions the vessel.
The skill and dexterity of these work
men is little short of remarkable.
With only the eye to guide, he fash
ions with astonishing rapidity vessels
1 which do not differ one from the other
I in either size or shape. A single la
j borer is able to complete about thirty
J six dozen jars of nearly a quart ca
I parity in a day.—Argonaut.
LIGHT AND THE EYES.
Glaring or Dazzling Effects May Re
sult In Permanent Injury.
In a paper read before the Interna
tional Exposition of Safety and Sanita
tion in New York city G. II. Stickney
called attention to the fact that the
most common defect in lighting is ex
cessive glare and absence of diffusion.
Glare may emanate directly from the
light source or be reflected to the eye
by a glossy surface; it can also be
caused wherever excessive contrast of
Intensity appears in adjacent fields of
vision. The dazzling effect is unpleas
ant and interferes with seeing. Under
continued exposure eye strain and
even permanent Injury to the eye may
result
An unshielded light hung over a ma
chine is a common source of eye f
tigue. The glare may not be so -
dent on tirst glance, but when
workman’s eyes have been subject,
to such light for a long time discern
fort and inability to see result.
Glare from glazed paper, desk tops
or polished metal often induces eye
trouble, headache and other indisposi
tion, though the sufferers may not be
aware of the cause. The remedy is to
change the relative positions so that
the reflected light is kept out of the
eyes as much as possible and to en
large the dimensions of the light source
-Engineering Record.
Popular Judgment of Genius.
Fabre's tirst entomological work gain
ed the honors of the Institute of France
and a prize for experimental physiol
ogy. Uis extraordinary absorption in
his entomological pursuits was a source
of perplexity to those among whom he
dwelt. One morning he was passed by
throe women vintagers on their way
to work. When they passed him again
at sunset he was still seated on the
same stone, with his eyes fixed on the
same spot, whereupon he saw one or
them tap her forehead as she whisper
ed, “A poor innoeent.” But more than
one country guard suspected that he
was up to no good In his mysterious
wanderings about the countryside
However, the sight of the little dark
ribbon of the Legion of Honor, with
which he had beef! decorated by the
French government, was generally
sufficient to allay suspicion.—Westmin
ster Gazette.
Hail to the Chief!
Jones had not wanted to go to the
gregarious feast where the speeches
strung out endlessly. Circumstances
obliged him to stay. The speeches
were strung out partly because the
chief and dullest orator wns not ex
pected until late. Finally he came,
and there was a rush of committeemen
to escort him to his place.
“Hello!” exclaimed Jones’ compan
Ion, “what is that they are making
such a pother about?”
“We still follow," answered Jones
sourly, “the ancient custom of bringing
In the bore’s head.’’—New York Post
A Vaiehnava Love Lyrio.
In one of our Valshuava lyrics the
lover says to his beloved: "1 feel as If
I have gazed upon tbe beauty of thy

hungry still; as If I have kept tnee
pressed to my heart for millions or
years, yet my heart Is not satisfied."—
