A log so large that it burned practically all day, leaving enough at night to be covered with ashes and placed back of the andirons; a forestick nearly aa large was placed on the ashes and then a superstructure of kindling and sticks of wood. These were lighted from the indispensable tinder box, a tin receptacle that contained the flint and steel that struck the fire on a charred rag. The cover was a candlestick, never without its candle. To be without was regarded aa the height of shiftlessness and gave rise to the phrase, "he never had any tinder," according to a writer in the New York Sun. Of the accomplishments of an old New England fireplace, a woman who knew by experience wrote, 75 years ago: "Meats were roasted on spits suspended from hooks over the mantel, or in tin kitchens in front of the fire. The Dutch oven also was used. This was a shallow tin vessel, in which the meat, or dough, was placed, and on the iron cover, coals, so that top and bottom of what it contained were evenly browned. A little before the advent of stoves the reflector was invented. This was tin, and only half way between the sloping top and bottom was a shallow pan in which the delicious biscuits were baked. Delicious shortcake was rolled on tin sheets and baked before the fire.

Milwaukee, A 200-ye- ar search for a portrait of Pere Jacques through extending Marquette, France, Canada, and the United States, has been rewarded, in the opinion of authorities at Marquette university here. A painting of the portrait accepted as an authentic one of the famous missionary and explorer has been made by John A. Nielson, Milwaukee artist. It will be presented to the university of an alumni group in connection with the celebration of the tercentenary of Father Marquettes birth this month. In 1900 an artist named McNab retrieved a panel from a scrap .heap. After removing dirt and varnish he found beneath an excellent portrait inscribed with the words, "Marquette de la confrerie de Jesus, and signed, "R. Roos, 1689. Experts declared it is the true likeness of Marquette and the original was used by Nielson in making his Capture of Two Sharks Proof of Right to Ved Among many of the New Guinea coastal tribes it is compulsory for a native to capture at least two sharks unaided before he may marry. In most cases, says a writer in the New York Times, the sharks are caught in a very ingenious trap. The trap is merely a big Afloat carved out of a long piece of soft wood. Through a hole in the center of the float there is fastened a length of strong, cane rope, knotted at one end and tied in a running noose at the other. Towing this curious contraption seta out in his the bridegroom-to-b-e tiny canoe. He takes along with him several dead fish, one of which is tied at the end of a long stick. With this he seeks to attract the shark toward the canoe. When the shark draws near the fisherman places his trap in the water with the noose hanging downward. g Then, using the fish as bait, he tempts the monster until, in order to secure the fish the shark thrusts its head through the cane noose. As it does so the noose tightens and the shark is caught. At once it plunges away in terror. The dragging float, exerting a pull on the noose, gradually forces the sharks jaws open and before long it chokes or drowns, and may be towed ashore. hand-wove- n - strong-smellin- required for every pound of excess flesh the body puts on. and1 INSURANCE NEW and USED CARS REAL $ VALUES L MORGAN MOTOR FINANCE CO. 702 So.

Ohio, once a desert, again may become a dry, barren land after long geological ages, believes Dr. David Olsen, head of the geography department of Kent State university. Geologists know that Ohio and parts of Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York had a desert climate more than a hundred million yean ago, explained Dr. Olsen.

It is known, however, that the ancient Chaldeans were wont to satisfy their refrigeration needs by a crude method of evaporation. They filled porous jars with water and slaves were forced to fan the jars until the evaporation lowered the temperature of theliquid within the jar. It is also recorded that the Greeks and Egyptians used a similar principle to cool water and other liquids. Down through the ages, observes a writer in the Detroit News, great strides have been made in the progress of refrigeration, but in the past ice, or refrigeration, was within the reach of only kings, potentates, or very wealthy men. Crude methods of storing ice exacted the toll of vast sums of money so that refrigeration the year around was practically unheard of. About 100 years ago a Yankee clipper set sail from Boston on- her way to Calcutta around the Cape of Good Hope, up the bay of Bengal, and on up the hot mquth of the Ganges river. Packed in the hold of the clipper was a strange cargo a cargo of ice, half of which had melted during the long journey.
