"Probably we should not quarrel so

Old Coaching Days,
The old coaching dnys, as fur as con
venience for travel was concerned, were
tho dawn of tho groat days of our pres
ent rapid means of communication. Tho
TO years or so in which mail coaches
waxed and flourished nud finally died
out boforo the incursion of railways and
steam engines have a decided flavor of
romance attached to them, and no doubt
the coming and going of stagecoaches
lent a certain amount of color aud in
terest and lifo to tho country places and
towns through which ran the great main
coaching roads. The Bath road, tho
Dover road, the York road wero high
ways of communication along which
rolled tho heavy private couches and
.rhuriots of tho country magnates, aud
tho stagecoaches With their steaming
horse pusxed the various stopping
place with the regularity of clock work.
These stagecoaches, with their com
plement of coachmen and guards, af
forded endless subjects of interest and
illustration to tho urtist aud the literary
men of the day. Imagine Charles Diek
eus without stagccoachc aud dcmulod
of all his vivid description of the
scene such as those in the yard of the
Vliito Hart inn, High street, Borougli,
in "Pickwick, " or of the mail coach on
tho Dover rood in "A Tulo of Two
Cities." It i difficult for the present
generation to realise the fatigue and
tho wintry cold of such long journey,
when frozeu feet were enveloped in a
little straw, and a "shawl" folded
round the neck was thought to bo a fit
protection against tho keen night air, a
strung contrast to the luxurious cush
ioned carriages, hot water tins aud fur
lined rugs aud greutcoat of tho present
day. Loudon Spectator.

Master of a Sin! Art,
Of ono art tho Boor is master the
management of oxen in wagons. It is
nn art which is little nndcrstoud or is de
spised by most white men except Dutch
men, but, for nil that, it is an art, and
t hn Boers practieo it to perfection anil
love it,
I have soon a span of oxen hopelessly
stuck in the middle of a rapid river, tho
oxen at right angles to tho chain, tho
wngoti apparently a fixture until tho
river should nine down stronger and
sweep it away. Two Moers npis'iired,
and, as they usually will if civilly
nsfcetl, gave their help. They walked up
and down tho span, and changed tho
places of nearly all tho oxen. Such a
one was evidently a wheeler, mi nfter
ox. Another, from his marks, was ac
customed to pull on the other side. An
other must In- put farther np or farther
down tlifepitn.
Tho span rearranged, tho Botrs, with
a mighty chip from their whips, whoops,
yuuk, Athiud, Blomveldt, .Tucoop so
norous yells to tho leading oxen with
many a backhanded wrist cnt, and then
a flick in front, steering tho wheelers
with the butts of their whips, guiding
tho leaders with tho unerring lash,
started the span, kept it pulling straight,
and in two minutes tho wagon was
standing on tho other side of tho river,
Hio owners and tho oxen equally pnz
r.led to know how it got there, Pall

bothered a good deal by interviewers

"Oh, no. My press agent attends to

"My financial backer attends to the

Pawning Their Posterity.
General Booth discovered in India
that unborn babies aro sometimes used
as security for debt. When tho father of
a family is obliged to borrow money to
defray the expenses of his daughter's
wedding he sometimes pledges her first
born sou as collateral. General Booth
doubted tho existence of such a custom
until one of hi officers in tho Madras
Salvation Army informed him that
among his cadets were young men who
had beou mortgaged by their grandfa
thers in payment for tho festivities at
their mothers' weddings.
General Booth found anon investiga
tion that India is a great pawnshop.
Tho people put in pledge their lauds,
oxen, jewelry, themselves, their chil
dren nud their grandoliildren. Their
ideas of flnanoe are si'ude, and theysoom
to think that he is the cleverest man
who finds tho largest number of way
by which to borrow money. New York
