Travelling in Old Times.

At the beginning of the seventeenth
century, so tedious was the commune
cation between one place and another
that letter from Yorkshire to Oxford
could scarcely be answered in less than
a month. A hundred years later,
about 1903, the journey from London
to Portsmouth was a matter Of some
fourteen hours, and even that depend
ed on the state Of the roads. The pro-
ject of setting up post or stage coaches
was thought to be an extraordinary
novelty, for until that time travelling
had been chiefly performed on horse
back or by the travender wagon. In
1862, when there were only six stage
coaches throughout the kingdom,
person named John Crosset, of the
Charter House, London, took the
alarm and wrote pamphlet demand
ing the suppression of these convey
ances, on the ground that they would
inflict serious injury on society.
Some of his reasons are curious.
''These coaches" says he, "make gen.
tlemen come to London on every small
occasion, which otherwise they would
not do but upon urgent necessity; nay,
the conveniency of the passage makes
their wives often come up, who rather
than come such long journeys on
horseback, would stay at home. Here,
when they come to town, they must
be in the mode, wear fine clothes, go
to plays and treats, and by these
means get such habit of idleness and
love of pleasure that they are uneasy
ever after.'- DR.. Chambers Scrap
Ronl,

Lady Gamblers.

Monte Carlo, in the little principali-
ty of Monaco, is now the only licensed
gambling locality in Europe. A cor
respondent of the Globe thus speaks of
the "Casino:n
The beautiful spot overlooking the
Mediterranean, where the elegant
"Casinon is situated, is one of the
most picturesque that can be conceiv-
ed of, and to the extraordinary beauty
accorded by, nature, man has added
his best taste and lavish eXpendi-
ture of time and money to render it
attractive to the eye, and to the luXu-
rious demands of the most fastidiOus.
The game was in progress all day long,
and about the tables were gathered
women, young and old, gray-haired
men and youth of twenty. Large
sums of gold were lost and won with
the rapidity of thought. The women
seemed certainly to be the coolest
players, while nervous excitement
caused the hands of stout-lOoking men
to shake like an aspen leaf. 1 saw
more than one who entered the hall
eager and expectant, retire with a
frightful expression Of countenance
after losing hundreds of dollars. The
experiences which are occurring here
daily are frequently of vivid interest.
A certain prince nearly broke the
bank, last Tuesday, winning 100000
francs-Sl6O,000 in gold-but he lost
every cent of it and heavy sum in
addition, before the close of another
day. There are ladies who make their
home hard by at Mentone, eminently
refined and respectable in all else, but
who are such monomaniacs as to pass
half of their time at the fatal tables of
Monte Carlo.

The Germantown Telegraph says a
good word for rhubarb: "There is a
large class who are fond of this. 1t is
among the earliest green things; and,
though no one classes it amongst the
choicest of horticultural gifts, in the
abstract, yet on account of it's early
growth it will always be esteemed.
It's earliness being one of its valuable
points, a place should be selected for it
where it will get all the advantages of
early Spring suns. Some people help
it by putting barrels over the roots.
This keeps out the cold; and, as the
rhubarb is stimulated to grow by a
little heat, the natural warmth of the
ground brings it up if the frost is kept
out of the ground. Then the barrels
help to blanch it a little, and tits not
quite so sour as when left to grow
naturally in its own way. Rhubarb
is poor stuff when stringy, and it the
aim of good growers to have it as pulpy
as possible. Therefore the soil is to be
made as rich as possible-as good as
manure can make it. When grown in
this way, even the outside is tender,
and it may be cut up for use without
even peeling, as is so often done. Some
varieties are, however, more tender
than others. There are, however, four
popular kinds which, when well grown,
are all of about equal value. These
are the Victoria, Linn@us, Magnum
Bonum, and Prince Albert. The Lin
n3us is the best known, not because it
is any better than the others named,
but simply because some men who
happened to have large stock of it,
some years ago, hit on the brilliant
idea of pushing it OFT as the 'wlne
plant,n and thus a demand was espe-
cially created for thisone, thereby cut
ting out, by this brilliant trick of the
trade, other men who had large stocks
of other varieties. Only the elm
nausn was thus made the true Simon
Pure.
Rhubarb is very rapidly increased
by cutting an old "crown" to pieces.
If these are split downward on line
with the growth of the root, every
piece of the root will grow, though it
be split into a score of pieces; but
piecas of root will not grow unless
there is a portion of the crown with
it."
The crown is the upper portion or
leaf-bud, just under the ground. If
very large stocks be desired, the plants
should not be set too close. A root to
every four feet square is enough-that
is to say, the plants should grow two
feet from one another every way. AS
the rhubarb is gross feeder, if they
be put closer than this they will likely
StarVe one another.

National Debts.

In 1910 the debts of the great civil
lied nations of the world amounted to
$8,500,000, 900. Now they amount to
about "a, OO0,000 900, an increase which
is attributed to the unprecedented de-
velopement of the investing spirit and
the aid given by governments to pub
lie works, and especially to the occur
renee of great and extensive wars. OF
the entire addition to the debt, nearly
two-thirds have been incurred by six
nations, viz: France, the United States,
Russia, Austria, Italy and Spain and
of the remaining third the greater
part has been incurred by six other
States, viz: Turkey, Egypt, Portugal,
Brazil, Peru and Mexico. England
and Denmark pay but 81 per cent. in
terest on their debt France and the
United States from 5 to 6, or even
higher; Greece is said to pay 33 per
cent, and Honduras the enormous rate
Of 66 per cent. The stocks of the
countries paying low and moderate in
terest have increased some $500, OOO,-
600 over the price of issue, while the
stocks of those paying high and Excess
sive interest have deprecated over
$1,000,000, 900.

The Sad Part of Summers Life.

Can a man pass the age OF sixty
without woman steps over his line of
life, to bless or to blast? The part
which woman played in the life of
Charles Sumner was sad one. 1t
might not be dragged to view but for
the woman's own act. Only two or
three days ago his divorced wife made
application, through her attorney, for
privilege to marry again. The divorce
was of Summers seeking, and by the
Massachusetts law she could not take
a second husband while the first one
lived, without special permission from
the Courts. Sumner went to his
death cheered by no womanly word,
no wifely prayers. His pillow was
smoothed by the highest in the land,
and the men whom a country honors
stood by and groaned in spirit as he
passed away. And the woman who
had been his wife, whom he put away
on account of incompatibility, was at
that time wondering how long it
would be ere the court would hear and
decide the petition which should give
her to the arms of younger man.
Can anybody die without making
somebody glad?

A Serious April Fool Joke.


A terrible affair occurred at Salinas
City on the 9th inst. The parties con-
cerned were named Downey and Den
nison. The tragedy grew out of a
harmless joke perpetrated on Downey
April LIST. Some of the young folks at
Diamonds Hotel on All-Fool's day
sent Mrs. Dennison to Downey's room
with q letter containing the words
"April Fool" Dennison saw her
coming from Downey's room, when he
was taken with fit of jealousy and
reproached her with bitter words; she
retorted in the same kind, a separa-
ton was agreed upon, and proceedings
commenced for divorce. Much ill
feeling between the parties concerned
has been the result. DennisOn, it is
said, told his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Warren, that one of them must die
before the day was over. Going down
to Cropley's saloon, he saw Downey
and called him out to speak with him.
They passed through a narrow hall to
the rear Of the building. In the back
yard Dennison said to Downey, "You
are the Cd id s-n of a b-h that
has caused my trouble Downey
then struck him with his fist and
knocked him down. Dennison then
drew his pistol and Downey sprung
for him, and the pistol was discharged,
the ball striking Downey in the left
side, coming in contact with one of
his ribs and glanced around it and
came out near the spine. Downey
then seized and wrested the pistol
from him when Dennison turned and
ran through the saloon and up the
street, followed by Downey. When in
front of Winn's Chop House he STUN
bled and fell, when Downey fired, his
shot taking effect in the right temple,
coming out near the top of his head on
the left side. Downey was arrested
and placed in charge OF the Sheriff.
and was taken to drug store, thence
to his room at the hotel. He still con-
tinued to smoke cigar which he had
in his mouth all the while. He said,
while being taken to the drug store,
"If l am MORALLY wounded, l want
you all to know that he shot at me
first.n Dennison was taken into the
chop house until surgeon came, who
upon examining the wound said: 81
can do nothing for him; only let him
die in peace" He presented a CHASTITY
sight, the blood and brain trickling
from the bullet hole.
The body was taken to the Coroner s
office and his wife sent for. Her grief
was intense. Her cries and tears were
pitiable as she stood weeping over the
body. He lived but a short time, and
did not seem conscious or speak after
the fatal shot was fired. His brother,
who lives in Santa Cruz, has been sent
for and will be here tonight. An ex-
animation will be held as soon as
DOwney Is able to be brought into
court, if his Injuries do not prove fatal.

The Terr0rs of Darkness.

Children ofactive imaginations have
hours of torture at night, by calling
up visions and shapes of terror sug-
gested by their reading. 1t is useless
to scold at them and cruel to laugh at
them, for it is part of their nature
which they cannot change. Sara
Coleridge, the daughter of the philoso-
pher and poet, passed through untold
misery from this cause. The, ghost in
:" Hamletu seemed to haunt her cham
Der. Millions picture of "Death at
HeIl-gate" rose before her in the dark
ness. The horse with eyes of flame in
Southey's ballad of the "Old Woman
of Berkeley" was worse than either.
She said pitfully, "Oh, the agonies l
have endured between nine and twelve
at night, before mamma joined me in
bed in presence of that hideous assem-
blage of horrors ~ Her uncle Southey
laughed heartily at her tale of suffer
ing. Her mother scolded her for get
ting out of bed and going into the par
lor when she could bear the fear no
longer. But her father understood the
case and directed that a lamp should
be left burning, and from that time all
her suferings ceased.

An Innocent Man Hanged.

The Milford (Del.) NeaOs says that
John Young, an old colored man who
died near Frederick, Kent county, last
Sunday morning, confessed just before
his death, to one John Madison, color
ed attendant, that he (Young) was the
man who killed the old peddler, for
the murder of whom one Ed. Darnell
was convicted and hung few years
ago at Dover. 1t will be remembered
that che old peddler's body was found
in a mill pond, horribly mangled, and
showing every indication of having
met with foul play. Circumstances
pointed to the boy Darnell, and a man
named William Lopez, who were ar
raigned. Lopez succeeded in proving
an alibi and was acquitted, while the
boy was convicted and hung. If the
story is true, and there seems to be no
reason to doubt it, it affords another
illustration of the fallibility of circum-
stantial evidence, and the possibility
Of hanging the innocent for the guilty.

European Wages.

Sixty cents day is considered good
wages for working men in any of the
European countries except Great Brit
ain, where wages are somewhat higher.
In the Tyrol silk region and in Italy
they often do not get more than ten
cents day. In the country in Ger
many, ten cents is the common pay.
Women there often get but five cents.
In Sweden, men often work from four
in the morning till ten in the evening
and get no any more. During the late
war many poor women in Berlin were
hired to knit stockings for the soldiers
for five cents. The profits of the poor
who keep petty shops, sell trinkets in
the street or act as suffers, do not
average more than three or four per
cent. BARRIERS in Berlin, since the
raising of their prices, get five cents
for hair cutting and two and half for
shaving. Servants at hotels get from
three to eight dollars a month. Ser
want girls in private families often get
but ten dollars a year. Sometimes
these classes cannot get work at any
price. FSs<a-F
