Transformation Of tho Farms Into sani-
tariums and Health Resorts.
A quarter Of a century ago the resi-
dents Of the north shore of Massa-
chusetts bay-to which no self-respect-
ing Bostonian nowadays ever dreams
OF alluding otherwise than as the
"North Shore"-differed little from
those ON the remainder OF the much
broken New England coastline. If you
seek the pioneer in the modevn move
ment you must so to Mr.. Grant for in
formation. shall tell you only how
by degrees the busy American began
to appreciate that "all work and no
play makes Jack dull boy" and grad
ually to stop for breathing-spell. And
thus, one at a time, slowly at first, the
value OF wholesome air and bit of re-
Taxation made converts. Slowly the
underestimated farms passed from rus
tic to urban ownership, and became at
once the most economical and best
sanitariums in America, while the
erstwhile proprietors withdrew farther
into the New England Businesses
Gradually, too, the entire scene changed
from the Observation-Disclosures
set monotony of the simple-minded
country folk to the brisk atmosphere
of refined people; nature herself seemed
to welcome the more congenial sur
roundings, and the country assumed a
frightened aspect Where the leg
weary family hack, silhouetted against
the autumn sky, had toiled over the
hills to the solitary crossroads store,
the village cart now dashed along,
drawn by a good-blooded horse, and
driven by a fashionably gowned wo-
man. Man and womankind improved
in health, horseflesh in quality, and
we began to learn how to use to advant-
age our opportunities for recreation
and health.-Caspar w. Whitney, in

THE THREE GENERALS.
characteristics Which Thoroughly Fit
Man to Command.

Man to Command.
The conduct of war rescn.I1,s the
conduct of life. There are i1ies and
principles which it is we'll to know; but
for success more is needed than knowl-
edge. The successful man sees the
world as it is, grasps the situation be-
fore him, goes straight to the point,
and keeps to it. We say of him, in
one aspect that he has character; in
another, that he has common sense,
and common sense at its best we call
genius. The command of an army is a
matter of character and common sense.
In Napoleon's words, "a la guerre les
hommes ne sont rien, c'est un homme
qui est tout"
OF generals not mere ciphers there
are three kinds. There is the COM
mander who has the force of will, but
whose intelligence is not cultivated.
He makes good subordinate-a Ney
or Benedek-but is prone to fail when
left to himself. Then there is the in
tellectual man, apt to take in more
learning than he can carry. He be-
comes a Brunswick, Massenbach, q
Colley. Sometimes, but not often, a
powerful mind is coupled with very
strong backbone. Such a man, when
he has a chance, does great things.
Moltke's problems are not conclusive
evidence as to character, but no one
can study them without recognizing
the master quality of mind. Their
author may have had infinite learning,
but it has been digested out OF sight.
What is visible is the perfection OF
common sense.-London Spectator.

Good cold ice is not a bad salve. The

mouth is sore the diet should be changed

THE FIRST STAGE COACH.

It Ran Once . Month Between London
and Edinburgh.
The first stage coach between the
two capitals, London and Edinburgh,
appears to have been started in 1865.
1t ran once fortnight, and the fare
was "a. The time taken to the journey
is not accurately known; but between
York and London it was four daya
This lavish system Of communication
was not, however, kept up, as, in 17oa,
the coach ran between London and
Edinburgh once month only, taking

to the journey.
In the days of stage coaches, people
sometimes dubbed together and hired
post chaise for their journey, as being
quicker and less expensive, and Scot
tish newspapers occasionally contained
advertisements to the effect that per-
son about to proceed to London would
be glad to hear Of fellow ''adventurer"
or two bent on the same journey, to
share the expense.
In 1854 heroic effort was made to
improve the London and Edinburgh
coach. The Edinburgh Courant for
that year contained the following adj
vertisement: "The Edinburgh Stage

And dimmed the inward sunshine that else had

One could not tell the reason why II made the
day SO bright;
Why 1t brought the light OF Heaven so close to
the troubled heart.
And cleA RED tho dusky shadows-likc morning
nifs-apart
Only little thine--the breadth OF o hair-so
small
That either eye nor ear could trace Its silent
fall,
Yet 1t turned sweet chords to discord. and
tangled the noble score,
And not till 1t has been banished can the mu-
sic breathe once more
Only . little thins-a withering breath that
blew
Der the exquisite bloom Of the flower. and
dulled Its tender hue
Yet ne'er again shall 1t smile at the kiss Of the
morning sun,
For tho soul Of Its beauty hath vanished, and its
fragile life is done.
Only little thing-yet from small beginnings

The wondrous ways Of life. from whence d
world might grow a
And In tiniost germs nay lufk the poison bear

That may 10y the hope Of nation low in the

reverent touch,

DRAWBACKS TO THE CHEESE rspusrsY.

DRAWBACKS TO THE CHEESE ISpUsrsY.
One of the most serious drawbacks
to the cheese industry is the vast
amount Of cheese made which has been
robbed of part of its cream. Tho
consumer buys small piece, but its
poor quality is against it, it is not
eaten, goes to waste, and the house
wife of economical tendencies does
not buy again for months. If only
good cheese, from whole milk, we're
made, the consumption would steadily
increase. But the market has been so
badly demoralized by the makers of
poor cheese, that it will take years to
recover its tone, even when poor
cheeses are no longer sold-American
