One curious result of the war has been to revive some of the ancient, half-forgotten English village indus- tries. Flint-knapping, , for instance, which has been carried an at Bran- don, in Suffolk, for many genera- tions, and which almost received its death-blow—but not quite --when the old flint -lock musket was super- seded by the percussion -cap rifle, has recently been gissen a tremendous fillip owing to the demand for flints for tinder -boxes by the men at the front. Charcoal -burning, again, which was a flourishing industry in the Sus- sex weald hundreds of years ago be- fore coal was thought of, may now be peen in full swing there once again, the War Office having recently ordered large supplies for use in the trenches. Charcoal makes -an ideal fuel for this purpose,•being smoke- less, and giving out an intense heat. The charcoal -burner pursues his calling' in the open air, and he works on an accepted formula handed down from earliest times through many generations. Green oak logs only must be used, and those are all cut to the same site, and stacked to- gether in such a way as to form a low, conically -shaped heap. This is then covered with freshly - cut turf, and set fire to; but it needs constant watching and attention, for if combustion proceeds too quickly the smouldering pile may burst into flame, when the resultant product will be, of course, not charcoal, but ashes. Ordinarily if proper care be• exercised, the calcining process is complete in about twelve hoot°ss after which the stack is left to .cool for a few days before being opened. The breeding of ferrets has been"is village industry in England almost from time immemorial, but the de- mand for the little creatures had greatly fallen off during recent years. Now, however, owing to the• insistent call for ferrets to kill the rats which swarm in the trenches in France and Flanders, the demand has Jumped suddenly to far in excess of the supply, and prices have soared accordingly. Fax a sadly sufficient reason, and one that will be at once apparent to everybody, the fashion for jet orna- ments has been recently revived, more especially in the English border counties, with the t:esult that a One- time flourishing Yorkshire village in- (r'ustry has been given a new lease°of life. Amongst the Irish peasantry similar "mourning Jewelry" is made from bog oak. the best varieties of which are nearly as black and lust- rous, and equally as hard, as the best Whitby jet, This, too, is now being turned out in increasing quantities In hundreds of lonely cabins in those districts of Ireland where raw ma- terial le found.—rearson's Wookly.
