Olden Times. In the early deers of our country, a very simple light was made by placing some form of grease in a skilk t, a rag being partly covered by this, the end Whiell WAS Ont ( f ' the greaze being lighted) ins kine a rather smoky light. It should be remembered ti at., in h early days of our country, the great muss ef the people were poor, scaresly having the necessaries of life. Many a young man, thireting for knowledge, was then unable to afford even an inferior light, when he wish- ed to study in the evenings, after perform- ing a hard day's work on the farm, since even stnall children were obliged to work, helping the parent e to support the family. Menyt youvg man was then educated in the chimaey -.owner, mainly, acting as his own teac:ier. Toiling by day at Some hard muscle work, becemse compelled by poverty, lie made long evenings from a thirst for knowledge; his only light would be from the open fireplace; special light was ob- tained by burning pitch pine knots, such as he ceuld find for this purpose in the pastures, tvlaere logs had decayed and left them. Such a fire -piece would now be a curiosity to the readers of this magazine—as great as would have been such a beautiful magazine to the young of those days ; they never saw any- thing to be compared with it, since none had ever been made; what they had was ex- ceedingly rude. Did my youngyeaders ever see an open fire -place containing a huge back -log three feet long and about as thick, a fore -stick of twice that length, resting on rude andironfi or on two large stones? Such were usual when their grandmothers were hausekeepers in the country. In those eerly times almost everything used in the fa.mily was produced on the farm, the lights included. As cattle' were raised in abundance, tallow was easily ob- tained ; fronts this candles were made. There were two ways in which they were made, the simpler one being "running" them in a mold, generally two at once. A pair ef tin molds were used, just in the proper farm for a cendle ; the wicks ran through the centre of the mold, passing through at the point, and were fastened at the other end by a stick, the pointed end of which was stuck into a potato. The melted tallow was poured into these molds, cooled, then slightly wormed on the surface, that the candles might be easily slipped out. These were set in a block of wood or a can- dlestick. A pair of "snuffers" was at hand when the candle was lighted, for the pur- pose of removing the burned wick when it tgrew so long as to be in the way, and affect- ed the light, which might have been equal ts about one eighth of tint of the ordinary kercsene lamp. By the next method about ten wicks were tied around a email stick; these wicks were the length of the candles. These were "dip- ped " into a vessel nearly hill of warm water, with melted tallow floating on the top, a small quantity of which adhered to this cotton or fiax wick, and this was hung away to cool while the rest were being "dip- ped. This process was continued till the candles were of the desired size. The next in order w s the tin "petticoat lamp„" jap- panned, o a size to he put in a boy's trous- ers pocket a cheap kind of whale oil being ueed, the first lamps having only one wick, the later ones two. A little later lamps were made of glen, various and fantastic shapes being adoptecl, none of these afford- ing a light to be compared with the modern lamp, to say nothing of the gas and electric lights. As ebeiety advanced, the sperm oil took the place of the cheap and inferior oil, at least in families in which it could be af- forded, for the mass of the people 60 years ago had, relatively, but few of the luxuries, many scarcely the necessaries of life. Still later, when the whales had become scarce, "rock oil" (kerosene) was introduced. It was made by heating cannel coal. The price at first was $1.50 a gallon. It was econo- mical at that price, since it burned a long time, though smoking badly on account oi . the excess of (Arbon allowed to remain in it. Still, later, when the crude oil was found in the earth ready made, the demand made it necessary to have a larger and cheaper sup- ply, and now the price is but a small frac- tion of the former one, and nearly all of the illuminating properties are now removed, partly to prevent the smoking.—Dr. 3. H. Hanafrard in Wide Awake. Not Prepared For Guests. "Familiarity breeds contempt," is a say- ing often true in regard to articles of food which have lost tbeir flavor of excellence because they are too readily obtained. Western farmers usually have enough and to spare of plain provisions for man and beast, and are noted for their hospitality. The only hesitation is when they fear that the stranger may be dissatisfied with such fare as they can offer. On one occasion an Eastern gentleman during a horseback journey through the West encountered a severe snow -storm, and seeing a comfortable looking double log cabin, resolved to seek shelter there. "Can I stop here to -night, madam ?" he asked of a woman who came to the door. "Well," she said, hesitating, "it don't seem like a body should turn a stranger from the door on a night like this, but we ain't fixed to keep travellers. We haint got no meat in the house." The snow was drifting and the cold grow- ing severe. Have you bread and tea ?" aakedetthe traveller. "No tea, but coffee, and plenty of bread and butter, and eggs, of course.' "1 don't want better fare than that," said the weery man, preparing to diennonnt As he entered the house, after putting hie horse in a comfortable stable, the woman re- newed her apologies. "1 'most wish I hadn't let you stay. I know we haint nothing to give you like what you've been used to at home." Her guest renewed his assurance that he should be quite satisfied with what she had.' Then, happening to look about the room, he said : "Madam, I thought you said you had no meat in the house: but surely these are prairie fowl," pointing to three or four that hung against the wall. - "-Oh, sir," said she, "would you eat prairie fowl? Then I can make you out a supper." "Why did you suppose I disliked prairie fowl ?" questioned the traveller. "Well," she replied, "if you had them morning, noon and night, as we have, you wouldn't like 'em. We can shoot 'em any- where, anytime," The guest says that the broiled prairie fowl, cooked to a turn, the coffee, fair with rich cream, and the delicately browned bis- cuit, with unexceptionable butter and eggs, made up as good a supper as he ever tasted, although his hostese continued her apologies for the " poorness " of her table. —Mr. James Douglas has sold his fine farm of 150 acres in North Dumfries, near Galt, to Mr. James Lake, jr.

I 5 I Shall We Clip our fforseS. The question, is it proper or right to rob our horses of their uatural coat ,by clipping them. especially in winter? has' been asked of :berm and Home. It depends entirely on whrt the horse is used for, the care he gets and the stable in which he is kept. Under ordinary conditions we 'Would , say, do net clip your horses., Farm horses and - those used in slow- or heavy iybrk where therhave to stand still, are better off not to be clipped. Road horses andthoseused for Work where they sweat a' great deal are better to beoclipped if they are ten proper care afterwitrd. They should be well blanketed at all times, except when travel- ling, and kept in anvarin stable free from drafts. A long-haired horse will not dry off qUickly when he comes to the stable sweaty and wet. If not properly rubbed dry and blanketed with dry blankets- he will Steam, the pores remain open and a coldor pneumonia be the result He will dry Off quicker when clipped and if ordl- narY precautions are used in blanketine there is not the danger of ca,tehing cold". Hence, we would say do not clip your horse except where the occasion, such as we have described, demands it, and then giv him an extra blanket and an extra 1:01 if Of oats per day. eAR AND WIDE.
