Cambridge, Man., Look? To lay
Almost aa It Did When th?
Poet Wrote of It
In ty>s dfttry <?f October ?">. isito,
Longfellow made (hi* iioto; "\V< ote a
new irKiiim <)/ life-It 1* *T\\0 Village
lihicUsiiiilli.' "
And ihe (* ? ? ii ??f the village black.
hiiiI t li. built In 18J1, 0(111 stunda.lu
Cumbrldge. covered with vines and
sought lifter i>> tourists and lovers of
the old, although the "spreading cheat
nut tree" has been cut down to make
room for the widening of Hraittle
street.
It was tin? home of Dexter i.'ratt,
the village blacksmith, and the friend
of Longfellow, wilO Immortalized him
and his smithy In verse. The Itach
elder family, who bought the place
from the heirs of Mary Walker in
tt>12, have restored the place to Its
former simple beauty. It still bears
the ".Sign of the Cockhorse."
Inside, the rooms are re*to|fd with
all the qualntness of their original
form. Ah one goes In the door they
open from both Hides of the small hull
and each room has a large open tire*
place. The mantels are wide and
plain, aa was the fashion In the early
days.
Upstairs, at the Brattle streot end
of the house, one goes down three
atepa into the end room. You pass
through a narrow back passage and
find two small bedrooms and back
stairs which are sharp and steep.
Dexter Pratt, Longfellow's black
smith friend, succeeded Torrey Han
cock In the ownership of the property,
who In turn bought it from the heirs
of Thomas Brattle, who built the
house. I'ratt had -lived -there a long
time "wBeiTXongfellow came to Cam
bridge In 1830. After the death of
I>exter I'ratt In 1847, the property
passed through various hands until,
In 1870, frlehds bought It for Mary
Walker, an escaped quadroon slave, a
woman of refinement and beauty, who
had been a servant In several Cam
bridge families, and afterward taught
school In the South.
After her return to the North two
of her three children were found and
returned to her through the efforts of
General O. O. Howard. They were then
a grown man und woman, although
when she last saw them they were
children.
While she occupied the house many
Harvard students lived there. No?w,
purchased from the heirs of the es
caped slave, It has become one of the
show places of Cambridge.
Longfellow, In the Knickerbocker
Magazine, in 1840, first Immortalized
the place. He made a word picture
of the village smithy and the black
smith, and also made a pen and Ink
sketch of the chestnut tree and the
smithy. The tree up to 1870 spread
Its branches in front of the house.
The Crumbling of Caste.
India Is toi (ho midst of one of her
greatest famines. Mrain Is twice asr
high its It wns In HKX), hut In spite of
thlR people are not dying as they did
?hen.
A missionary gives two reasons for
the lower death rate:
In the last 20 years the people
have learned to work. Formerly one
or two members of a family supported
the rest. Now', all who are able to
work earn something, and so during
the years of plenty something has been
saved up? n<>t much but enough to
help a little.
Another reason why India Is In a
better condition now than In 1SXX) is
that the caste system Is breaking down.
Now you will tlnd men and women of
many castes doing work which for
merly was done by one caste alone.
High-caste Hindus are coining to see
that manual labor is not a disgrace. ?
World Outlook.
Plywood Given Severe Test.
The plywood tested at the Wisconsin
forest products laboratory is built up
In thin layers laid crosswise to one
another, and glued with water-resist
ing glue. Various protective finishes
are applied to tT?e wood. All materials
are subjected to every variety of cli
matic temperature and moisture,
and In glue tests, plies must not sep
arate after boiling In water eight
hours, or soaking at room temperature
ten days. The products developed find
many Important uses besides that of
making ? airplane propellers. The
woven plywood, designed as n substi
tute for linen In wing covering, Is
basket woven from strips of spruce
veneer about one and one-fourth to one
and seven-eighths Inches wide and .01
inch thick, the nnlsbed sheet being
?bout one-fifth Inch thick.
Difficult to Learn.
The Chinese pocket dictionary con
tains no less than 10,000 characters,
which one must learn In order tc
claim any real familiarity \iith tha
language. However, an acquaintance
with 3,000 or 4,000 symbols Is all thai
the average native has, nn<l It Is said
to be possible to get along with a vo
cabulary of 1,000.
