I should simply die in those awful things that you wear. Did you ever know such a hot house as the colonel keeps!" "The rooms are small, and the colonel is impulsive," Mrs. Bogardus added with a smile. "There is something very like him about his fire-making. I should know by the way he puts on wood that he never would have " Mrs. Bogardus checked herself. "A large bank account?"

"'Care of kitchen, pantry, and utensils fire-making disposal of refuse table-setting service care of furniture cooking with gas patent sweepers sweeping dusting care of silver bread vegetables puddings " "Help!" said Sandy. "It sounds like the essence of a thousand Mondays!
What with sweeping and dusting and fire-making, an hour passed rapidly, when suddenly a dusky darkness settled over the house, and at the same moment a blast of wind blew the door open with a bang. "Oh dear, there is going to be a thunder-storm," thought Eyebright. She was afraid of thunder and lightning and did not like the idea at all.
Again, speaking of the danger of fire-making, I will give an example of what those Indians did with men of their own tribe. A few of their men desired to go to Fort Pitt with their families, while the others objected. The couple of families escaped and reached the opposite side of a large lake.
A very necessary article of house furnishing is the fire-making device.

A paraffin candle was in his eyes the height of luxury, and the ability to make a light instantaneously by a lucifer match, a marvel that struck him with wonder. He brought all his relatives in different groups to see the strange sights, instantaneous fire-making, and a light, without the annoyance of having fire and smoke in the middle of the floor.
Not without a feeling of regret was the old work gone through for the last time the old work of tree-cutting, and fire-making, and supper-frying, and dog-feeding.
In order to conciliate Ackbau I offered to explain to him the secret of my fire-making, but he answered coldly that he himself knew how to make fire by taking a burning brand from one fire and thrusting it among dried wood and leaves, of which there were great quantities on the island, as fire had never been alight there before.
Man is the tool-using, fire-making animal. From the outset of his terrestrial career we find him supplementing the natural strength and bodily weapons of a beast by the heat of burning and the rough implement of stone. So he passed beyond the ape. From that he expands.
