One of tbe odd things remember
ed of Brron vraa his careful ob
servance of English customs abroad,
customs maintained with an accom
paniment of abuse of his native
anil. He religiously ate plum pud
ditiK nt Christmas and roast goose
in Michaelmas day. An acquaint
ance chronicled a droll consequence
of this laat fancy. Buying a large
j.joosc at Vim early enough to fatten
t for Michaelmas, the poet proceed
ed to feed it himself daily. Alas I
'Aa the fateful day arrived he
found himself to fond of the crea
ture thnt he determined to spare its

ami plnn to take her I'll learn when
it's too late to make any change

question for an hour, and then he
tossed up quarter to decide what

would lose whichever way it cam.
FLINT AND FRICTION.
Msthods by Which Primitive Men Pee
eured His Firs.
Doubtless the nrrtduction of fire
by sparks from the flint was follow
ed by the discovery that friction
would produce 11 ilnme. In regions
where suitable stone was not easily
found the inventive aborigine de-vi-ed
the whirling stick, or fire drill.
This was a stick of hurd wood with
its lower end set in a hole in a
block of very soft, dry wood.
The stick v.-ks held upright be
tween the herds end rhirlcd by
rubbing the pulsus first one way and
then the other. A moderate down
ward pressure v.as exerted, and as
the hands worked down on the stick
they were occuiionnUr shifted to a
higher hold. J
An improvement on the hand
whirled drill was the Duplication of
a low for rotating it. The first
man to make a how drill is entitled
to fame as the first inventor of a
ma.hine, for lie (.-outlined several
working pieces in one apparatus for
aecQnijilifhin? a desired end.
This father of iif entors must
have conceived the idea that if he
should make a turn of his -bow
string around a stick and fix the
two ends of the stick in holes he
could rolute the stick much mora
easily and rapidly than was possible
with the hands, producing great
friction and heat much quicker and
wiih much less exertion. We can
imagine wc sec him a great,
brawny, hairy man, with a bit of a
goatskin for clothes sitting cross
legged at the mouth of his cave and
rigging up the first operative ma
chine that was to produce fire.
lie must have procured a large
piece of soft and dry dead wood and
hollowed a spot for the lower end
of the stick. Then putting this un
der a slanting rock he must have
wedged another block of soft wood
above the stick.
Having fixed them solidly in place
by piling stones around them, he
would then take a turn of his bow
string around the stick and draw
it back and forth rapidly, securing a
blaze in a short time.
With what triumph he must have
viewed his work when .the first let
of flame burst from the smoking.
cnarrea mas that be had coaxed
into fiery existence I It is easy to
picture him calling his family or
followers about him to see his first
machine, perhaps half consumed in
the fire it had made, and explaining
its operations with enthusiasm.
