BEFORE THE AGE OF STEAM

Reminiscence* of Time When the Stage Coach Waa Most Important Method of Travel, "It was a hill village on the stage road midway between - and . stage roads tn the year 1840 varied with the seasons from bad to worse. In the spring they were rivers of mud through which the Jaded horses dragged the coach wearily; tn the summer the passengers were choked with dust, aud In the autumn, by reason of the ruts and holes In tbe road, they were tossed about like dice in a box; In winter the roads were blocked with snow, but the stage, when there was a stage, always came into our village with a clatter of galloping horses and sounding horn, its round body, swung on leather straps, Jts gallant driver, Its four smoking horses and its merry horns were followed by shouting boys, who swung from the straps of the boot or fell off in a cloud of dust The stage driver was a personage in every village that depended on his arrival for the daily mall and the latest news from the outside world. He was gazed upon with awe by the children as a sort of hero of romance, who never worked, but drove galloping horses back and forth through a perpetual holiday. He was an expert with the reins whose reputation was counties wide. As he whirled up to the tavern porch, the leaders of his team, which. It was whispered, bad been sold to the stage company by the fanners because of their vicious tricks, walked around to the stable with drooping heads and into their familiar stalls as soon as their traces were unhooked, as inno-cent-looking as If they had never kicked a farmer’s boy or picked up a groom by the collar.” —William Henry Shelton in Century.

SPEECH THAT “MADE” RILEY

diana Poet That la Well Worth Recalling. After many disappointments In fortune, James Whitcomb Riley was employed, at a few dollars a week, as w'rlter on the Indianapolis Journal. Shortly after, Llje Halford, who waa afterward private secretary to President Harrison, came to the paper as managing editor. He decided to cut down expenses and began by discharging Riley as his first victim. The blow was a hard one for Riley, and he was discouraged and about ready to give up in despair. But a couple of days later there was a political convention tn the city and one of the men nominated was a big fellow who had never made a speech In his life. He was called on to speak, and, shifting from one foot to the other In perfect agony for a moment, he blurted out: “Gentlemen, I thank you for this nomination. I can’t make a speech, hut I can tell you one thing: The ticket you’ve nominated today Is goin’ to win ‘when the frost ts on the punkin’ and the fodder’s in the shock.’ ” That speech took the house by Storm and It was evident that the delegates and the spectators had read this poem of Riley’s which had appeared in the paper just a few days before. The circumstance brought the papev back to Riley’s rescue, and his first bopk, “The Old Swimmln’ Hole and ’Leven More Poems,” was published and made a great hit. The original copy of this book recently sold for 22,500. «

In the Land of Ancient History.

Amman, mentioned in the Bible as Rabbah, the capital of Ammon, was taken by David after-Uriah bad-fallen in the siege. It has a station on the Hedjaz railway. The ruins of the old city are three miles from the line. In a dreary valley, Imposing in their desolation and grandeur. There is a citadel of huge, uncemented stones, a theater of about 200 B. C., capable of seating 6,000 spectators, which Is still one of the most striking antiquities in Syria, a street of columns of which a few still remain, and public baths. The river, remarkably full of little fish, is bankedjn by ancient masonry and its bed was once completely paved.

Food Producers.

The pig and not the ox, It appears, Is the most efficient food producer, though all animals show a large loss In transforming vegetable products into meat Gouin and Andouard stated to the French Academy of Agriculture that the pig returns as pork about 25 per cent of Its food, while the ox eats at least eight pounds of vegetables to make one pound of meat, and with other domestic beasts tbe loss is about 85 per cent The hen may yield 15 per cent of Its corn as eggs, and the milch cow does a little better with a return of milk equal to 20 per cent of its food.—Newark News.

Famous Japanese Shrine.

Ill* golden temple, one of the most famous of Japanese shrines, is surrounded by a garden which has been growing for centuries. So artistically has bis work bfeen done that the artifices of the gardener are not very pronounced, with the. noticeable exception of the great old pine tree, which grows In a court surrounded on three sides by monastery buildings. It Is trained in the’ shape of a Junk, hull, mast and sail being reproduced. For centuries the patient priests have bent, pfungd. pried, tied and propped op the limbs and twigs of .this tree.

SHOFAR OF GREAT ANTIQUITY

- v Oldest Form of Wind Instrumeht That - Haa Been Retained in Use by the World. Dr. Gyrus Adler, writing of .the ahofar, calls it the solitary mu--1 si cal Instrument actually preserved in the Mosaic ritual. “It Is also,” he 1 says, “the oldest £on£of wind lnstrui ment known to be retained in use.-by. the world. Professor Stelnthal pointed out that this was an instrument no doubt used In prehistoric times. Wetzsteln Is of the opinion that the use of the ram’s horn may have been borrowed by the Israelites and goes back to a people who were engaged solely In the care of sheep; by them it was used as a signal of alarm. There can be little doubt that it has been continuously used in the Mosaic service from the time it was established «an til now. The sbofar was not the only horn used by the Israelites as a musical instrument, but no copies or . representations of other musical instruments have come down to us. i From the Talmud we learn that the use of the shofar as a note of alarm, of war, was transferred to Other eeasons of danger and distress. Famine, a plague of locusts, and drought occasioned of this Instrument I The shofar Was employed at the public ceremony of excommunication. A i very curious use of the shofar. in later times was In funeral ceremonies. I i quite agree with Wetzsteln that this use of the instrument Is quite apart from the Semitic custom and that it was probably borrowed. As a signal and an instrument of war It has its various uses; it was a signal for going out to battle, for the announcing of a victory and for the recall of troops.”

FAMOUS AS GREAT ENGINEER

Mark Isambard Brunei Won High Rank Among Men Noted for Their Service to the World. Sir Mark Isambard Brunei, engineer of the Thames tunnel, died at London, December 12, 1849. The great enterprise by which he became popularly distinguished was the tunnel connecting the shores of Essex and Kent. One day Brunei conceived the construction of a cast-iron shield, which should bore like an auger by means of strong hydraulic screws, while as fast as the earth was cut away, bricklayers should be at hand to replace it with an arch. He patented the plan and revived the project of a road under the Thames. In 1824 the Thames Tunnel company was formed, and the next year the work started and was pursued through mauy difficulties from explosions of gas and eruptions of water —until 1828. At the beginning of that year about 60b feet had been completed when the river broke through and six men were drowned. Work was suspended until 1835, when the government advanced the company over a million dollars. At last the feet was completed and the tunnel opened on the 25th of March, 1843. Brunei was knighted by the queen and his fame was borne to the ends of the earth.

His “Snakeship’s” Conversation.

That serpents are less mute than we think Is shown by W. H. Hudson In his reminiscent volume of naturalist explorations In the Argentine pampas. He specifies the Phllodryas oestivus—a beautiful and harmless colubrine make, 2% to 3 feet long, marked all over with inky black on a vivid green ground—and states that It not only emitted a sound when lying undisturbed in its den, but several individuals would hold together -a conversation that seemed endless. It was a hissing conversation, though not unmodulated or without considerable variety. “A long sibilation would be followed by distinctly heard ticking sounds, as of a husky-ticking clock, and after 10 or 20 or 30 ticks, another hiss, like a long-expiring sigh, sometimes with a tremble in It, as of a dry leaf vibrating In the wind. No sooner would one cease than another would begin ; and so It would go on, demand and response, strophe and antistrophe; and at Intervals several voices would unite In a kind of long mysterious chorus, death-watch or hiss.”

Famous Old Scottish Song.

“The Blue Bells of Scotland’” Is not only popular In the land of the thistle, of which It sings, but if has an international appeal. It was written by Miss Annie Me Vicar, a young Scottish woman, who spent considerable of her early life in America. The occasion which prompted the Words of this song was the de- ! parture of the Marquis of Huntley for the continent with his regiment in 1799. The music to which Miss McVici ar*s poem has been set is several hundred years old, and it was rescued from oblivion by Mr. Fitzgerald, to whom the world owes a great debt of gratitude for his untiring work in this direction. _ ~ ;;;

Brave and Unyielding Freedom.

The liberty which our fathers planted, and fdr which they sturdily contended, and under which they grandly conquered, Is a rational and temperate, but brave and unyielding, freedom; the august mother of Institutions; the hardy nurse of enterprise; the sworn ally of Justice and order; a liberty that lifts her awful and rebuking face equally upon the cowards who would sell, and the braggarts who would pervert, her precious gifts of rights and Sblggations. —Edwin P. Whipple.

BEST TREATMENT FOR "COLD"

Inhalation of Bteam Declared to Be a I Remedy Superior to Administration of Drugs. “What medicine may I give my baby when he has a cold?” This is a ques- * flon which la asked repeatedly. My answer is, “None" Not that the least sign of a cold should be lightly regarded, but because there are other, and better remedies than medicine Most drugs given for colds upset the stomach, more or less, so much so that a few doses will seriously harm that organ; and what an infant’s or small child’s stomach and digestion are disturbed not enough nourishment Is retained to keep up the child’s strength and combat the Infection —for- almost every so-called “cold” is caused by an infectious germ. The meat sane and effectual method of treating children’s colds is by tbe inhaling of steam, plain or medicated, and by the application of mustard or some other equally good counter-irri-tant The steam lubricates and soothes the Irritated and Inflamed passages which lead down into the lungs,-as well as the ate cells of the lungs themselves. The mustard paste affords relief by drawing the blood from the congested air cells In the lungs to the surface of the skin. Either one of these methods la more sure and acts more quickly in giving relief than any treatment with drugs. Marianna Wheeler in People’s Home Journal.

LONG BUSY PUCE OF TRADE

For as Today, All Eastern Roads and Caravan Routes Meet at Altppei From time immemorial Aleppo has been a meeting place of roads and caravan routes, alike from tbe West and from the uttermost East Figuratively and literally, all roads still, today, In Asia Minor, and from the South, lead to Aleppo, while in its greatest bazars la to be found merchandise from the ends of the earth. Brass and silver work from India; Chinese ivories and porcelain; lac* quered bowls from Japan; carpets and rugs from everywhere where carpets and rugs are woven, from China to the Bosporus, and so on, almost indefinitely. Nothing else, as one writer justly remarks, gives such an idea of Aleppo’s Importance ■ as one of the great clearing houses of the East as these enormous, unending, vaulted bazars, lined with shops and thronged with people. The grand bazar of Stambul is great of Its kind, but the Aleppo bazar Is altogether greater. “You may wander in it for a couple of hours and never seem to go over the same ground twice; always fresh ramifications come into view and give a choice of fresh turnings to be taken.”

Each One's Success.

One’s success or failure Is determined largely by the manner In which the individual spends his or her leisure.. It seems that many of us are prone “to ride our hobbles” to the ultimate. One plays cards every evening; another shoots balls on a green table; another is a movie devotee, and some one else a dance crank night after night All these things are good or bad In proportion to the degree in which they rest us or Improve us. We need a more harmonious development It Is obvious that the supreme purpose of life is to havs a goal ahead and to nse every effort to attain the great objective. He or she who has found his or her work is the scheme of things is quite happy. We should devote our leisure time to the acquit idg of greater efficiency, with a certain amount of play and recreation to refresh us. The pursuit of pleasure merely “to kill time” Is a mistake. Too much frivolity will make us satiated and blase. In this busy world, let us “get In the game” and use more team play in the area of human activities. So, let us fit ourselves for greater efficiency and usefulness by a more discreet use of our leisure time. —Grit.

A Practical Teat.

A shrewd old countryman was being questioned by the vicar on his religious tenets. He had heard the old man was a Baptist, and although he bad nothing to say against the belief of this sect he Implied that perhaps the established church was the better road to salvation. The old man, after listening to the vicar’s fears on his behalf, said: “From this village to the market town there are three roads. There’s the straight road along the valley, the old coach road over the hills and the main road running alongside the park wall. When I get my wheat to the market town they don’t say to me, ‘Hullo, John, which road did you come by 7 but ‘What’s your wheat like 7”

Start Cheerfulness Within.

Cheerfulness Is hard work when It has to soak In from tbe outside. A person may be surrounded by innumerable blessings and yet wear a gloomy face, and keep a sullen heart, for it takes a long time for these external benefits to filter through to the springs of life and change the bitter wateigj; to sweet. Cheerfulness, to be easy and natural and spontaneous, must start Inside. Inborn good cheer will transform all -dur surroundings much more readily than our external blessings can transform our outlook on life.
