AN INTERESTING LANDMARK.

A careless driver of a truck nearly de-
molished IN old Landmarks in Jersey City
last night. On the northeast corner of
Washington and York streets, at the ex-
treme angle of the curb, is a stone about
2 feet in height. Few who look at the
stone know that it is a relic of the old
coaching days When stages ran from
Philadelphia and Trenton to New York.
The house on the corner then, in the
early years of the century, was a post
house kept by a jolly, -good-natured Irish
man named Considfne. The Washington
and Philadelphia coach stopped once a
day there and the passengers either to or
from New York never missed alighting to
taste his famous whiskey. Tim, for
hat was his name, would never tell
where he got that whiskey, and whenever
an inquisitive fellow ventured to inquire
where it came from the jovial landlord
would cock his eye and say: Faith, don't
bother where it comes from, it is more
important where it goes to-"
The stone in front of his hosiery was
placed there in 1906, and horsemen used
to hitch their hacks to 1t. 1t has been
spared by subsequent owners, and to-day
still adorns the corner. The merest acct
dent saved it last night, when a heavily
laden truck struck it. 1t withstood the
shock, but no thanks to the reckless
driver.

DON'T BREAK DOWN.
So Many Men and Women DO When
1t Is Entirely Needless.

Strong men often die early. not because
their vital forces are exhausted but be-
cause they abuse their powers, waste
their energies and break down their
constitutions. Hence, careful people
often live long. while people who are
robust but rash go down to early
graves. But strange as it may seem,
many men and women by adopting the
right means have been able to overcome
dangerous ailments that would have
killed the strongest man. With care.
they have eventually gained a remark
able degree of health n yigor. Some
interesting examples of this fact have
fscently come to light, among which are

RICE nj OH O
Objections to the Time-HOnOred
Wedding FrIyo!ity-A Substitute.

The traditional rice and old shoes,
which are supposed to bring good luck
if thrown after the bride when she starts
on her wedding tour, ave their obvious
Inconvenience. One unlucky bridegroom,
who is afflicted with astigmatism, and
whose eyeglasses ave always to be
made to order expressly for him, taking
a couple of weeks to manufacture, had
his only pair smashed on his nose by a
well directed slipper, n in consequence
he passed a miserable honeymoon, seeing
nothing, and being, therefore, greatly
bored. A still more unfortunate bride had
not only her wedding trip completely
spoiled, but suffered for months from To-
cal trouble, brought on by a grain of
rice, which slipped down the orfce of her
ear.
The minor Inconvenience of having
rice stuck in ones collar, hair, etc., are
enough in themselves to render objection
able such attention from ones friends;
SO a pretty substitute which was used the
other day at a country wedding and
which is said to be quite as lucky, if not
more so, was a shower of rose leaves,
whose perfumed softness could do no
harm, while the idea is certainly a
charming one. 1t vas a rare, red rain
