When Huts Were HomM nd Bade Were Shakedownt of Straw. For centuries tbe common people of England made their home in wooden buts of one room. When a family in creased in numbers or wealth another hut waa built beside it, or, rather, a lean-to was added and then another and another, as need required. Sometimes tbey followed a straight line. . At otber times they Vera built out from tbe central hut at various an gles. The roofs of these buts were thatched. Ail opening was left In tbe center for tbe smoke to escape. Tbe fire was always built in a hollow in the center of tbe room. Beds were made of straw. Often they were merely shakedowns vin the corner. Occasion ally tbe straw was held lb a little frame resembling the ribs of a ship. Houses built by Saxon knights were much more pretentious. Tbey were big halls, like tbe Roman atrium, witb a lofty roof thatched with slate or wood shingles. Tbe floor was of hard clay. In tbe middle was a great fire of dry wood. Tbe thin, acrid smoko from the Ore escaped through an opening In the roof directly above tbe hearth. Round the fire were long benches, on which hearthsmen and visitors sat when not fighting or at work, and talk ed and drank tbe hours through. Tbe tables were long boards on trestles. At night the floor was strewn with straw. and, like the less prosperous folk, host and visitors slept together. Youth's Companion. . CURIOUS MEXICAN TREES. One Whoa Fruit Is the Counterpart of the Green Parrot Mexico probably bas a greater range of remarkable Tegetation than any other country in the world. Tbe par rot fruit tree produces an odd shaped fruit, bearing a close resemblance to green parrnkeets. When" the parrnkeet is frightened it makes a dash for the parrot tree, where it assumes a position which makes it look like tbe fruit It self. So close is the resemblance that their enemies, the hawks; occasionally fly by a tree on which a dozen or more of these birds are sitting, apparently unaware of their presence. Another remarkable tree is tbe ar- bol do draamlte-dynamite tree whose trait, if kept in a warm place, bursts witb considerable force and a loud re port, scattering its flat seeds to R sur mising distance. . One of tbe most interesting fruits in Mexico Is known as the melon zapotet or papaya. It contains considerable pepsin, which reacts against both acid and alkaline conditions of tbe etomach, and it Is said that 0 diet which In cludes papaya precludes dyspepsia. Both the fruit and tbe leaves possess the singular property or rendering touch meat tender. When the pulp of the fruit is rubbed over a piece of touch meat tbe jul"e attacks tbe fiber and softens it National Geographic Threshing Wanted. Good first olasa maohine, Gilbert Hunt S3 cylinder.
