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.

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.

Hyacinths and fuchsias look well for three or four dnys, and sometimes even longer, while mignonette and carnations can, with a little cure, bo kept for almost a week.

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 World. CUeinloal Work at Low Tempeiwlor.
