THE FIRST CARRIAGE IN MAINE.
How Minister Came to Buy 1t and why
He sold 1t.

aoW ~ talue 10 iSuy and WHY
He sold 1t.
The Rev. Francis Winter was a na-
tive of Boston and a graduate Of Har.
ward college. He went to Bath early in
1867, and after preaching ON probation
for the Orthodox church was invited TO
settle, which invitation he accepted. He
was ordained in the autumn of the same
year. He went to Bath on horseback in
company with Lemuel Standish. Mr..
Winter came from Boston, where he
mad associated with such eminent men
as Adams, Otis and Warren, himself
becoming an ardent patriot, taking the
lead in the Revolutionary measures
adopted in Bath during that memorable
period.
Mr.. Winter married Miss Abigail Al
den i'll l7GS, and it is through her that
the Winters Of today trace their ancestry
back to the Puritan Maiden Of Plym-
outh. "
Three years after the marriage Of the
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started TO visit sister of Mrs
Winter, living in Connecticut, and in
tended to ride all the way on horseback,
but Mrs. Winter became so fatigued that
Mr.. Winter sold one of the horses for
carriage and harness. 1t was the first
carriage that ever came into Maine and
was called a chaise. Travelling was so
difficult that two negroes were employed
to accompany them with shovels and
axes TO clear the road. Several times the
chaise had to be taken apart and lifted
over fallen trees. The minister's parish
toner's thought that it was putting on
too much style for their pastor to ride
in a carriage, and in consequence Mr..
Winter sold it. This was in 1771. Ii
was two wheeled chaise, the body
resting on leather braces, which were
attached to wooden springs. Lewiston

was Adam the First ManY

About the middle of the seventeenth
century an audacious attempt was made
to rob Adam Of the honor of having
been the first man. Isaac de la Peyrere,
in an odd little volume entitled The
Pre- Adamites, attempted to prove that
there were two creations Of men-the
first ON the sixth day Of the week Of
creation, when "God created man male
and female" The rabbits interpret the
above passage Of holy writ as meaning
that the first race Of human beings were
creatures in which both sexes were unit
ed in the same individual. According
to De In Peyrere, Adam was the result
of the second creation--the male and
female" being having been the progen.
itor of the Gentiles, Adam the father OF
the Jews.
A great many people fell in with the
views Of De la Peyrere. and he was tho
lion of the hour. His followers were
called "Pre- Adamites, and they in
creased in numbers rapidly, until finally
the movement became so strong that the
founder of the sect was compelled to 60
to Rome and abjure his doctrine ut the
feet of Pope Alexander VII ST. Louis
Republic.

AN ABLE PRACTICAL JOKE.
1t Created Considerable Excitement In "a
University City.

The Cambridge (England) Independ-
ent Press rctells the story of the hoax
perpetrated upon the civic and univer-
sity authorities at Cambridge on the
| occasion of the visit Of the late shah of
Persia TO that country. 1t was on Satur-
day, June 90, 1878, at II o'clock in the
forenoon, that u telegram was found
lying on the hallkeeper's table in the
Guildhall. 1t was directed to the wor-
shipful the mayor of Cambridge, was
signed 10y Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton
and read as follows:
''His imperial majesty the shah of
Persia desires TO visit your university
town today en- route for London by spe-
cial, arriving at Cambridge station
about l 10 O'Clock. BE prepared with
escort and reception as far as time al
low"
Instantly everybody began tumbling
over his fellow. The town clerk was
sent for, and messages were dispatched
to the vice chancellor, the members of
the corporation, the volunteer officers
and the cook of st. Peters college kitch-
en-. The vice chancellor hurried ON his
robes, the aldermen and councillors did
ditto. the volunteers donned their uni
FORMS and the cook began to boil and
fry.
Nor were the general public behind
hand. Flags were hung out and crowds
gathered in the street. DIR. COobson, the
vice chancellor (irrcverontly known in
those days as Dismal Jimmy"), made
his way to the station as fast as his dig
nifty would permit. The mayor, Mr.. T.
ii. Naylor, and the corporation followed
suit. A guard of honor and carriages
were in waiting, and soon everybody
was there except the shah. Then the
news flew round that the railway off,
Gals knew nothing about the special
train, and after brief delay il was APP
parent that the whole thing was n hoax.
The perpetrators of the hoax were never
discovered, though two persons were
afterward freely mentioned in connec-
ton with it. In the year of grace 1878
the era of practical jokes was past. but
had the authors of the shah's visit been
alive in the days of Theodore Hook
they might have lived in literature.

known. AT the present day the disease
Is found all over the civilized world II
IS not known In uncivilized countries.
IL has always been claimed that the dis.
ease was due TO n specific poison, but
the nature OF IL was not known. Quite
recently, however, European bacteri-
ologist named Czajikowski reported that
ne had found micro organism in the
blood OF a person suffering from mea-
sizes, which he believed to be the cause
Oh the disease. Measles is unlike some
other contagious diseases, in that il is
no respecter OF persons or places 1t af.
fects all sorts and conditions Of people.
What better illustration Of this is need
ed than the present case in the first
household of the land? The disease is
one of the most highly contagious all
ments known 1t is far more contagious
than smallpox, but the poison Of mea-
sizes contains much less vitality than
that OF the latter. The poison of measles
exits in the breath, the blood, the tears
and in the secretions from the nose and
throat
Although the disease Is usually
classed as one Of childhood, adults
sometimes suffer from il. The adult
cases are usually the more severe. In
fants under o months are generally con-
sidered exempt from the disease, al
though there are exceptions to the rule
Measles is generally looked upon as
necessary evil Of childhood and one that
deserves but little attention. In sim
pie case that may be all well enough,
but there are usually other contingen-
cies, and some of these should be guard
ed against In almost every case the
eyes become infiamed and call for at
tention. There is usually bronchitis,
which, If left uncared for, may be fol-
lowed by pneumonia and fatal termina-
ton. San Francisco Chronicle.

The Race Question In south Africa.

Hitherto the most interesting features
in the history Of South Africa have been
the relations to one another of the races
that originally inhabited or have re-
Gently occupied il, and the most difficult
problems which its future presents arise
from the relations of these races Three
races are native, four are European.
The cases of contact or conflict between
European and aboriginal races, which
have been numerous during the last
four centuries, include those where the
native race, though perhaps numerous,
is comparatively weak and unable to
assimilate European civilization, or to
thrive under European rule, rule
which has often been harsh, or even to
survive in the presence Of European
population occupying its country. Those
where Europeans have conquered a
country already filled by more or less
civilized population, which is so numer-
Gus and so prolific as to maintain itself
in their presence, and those in which
the native race is numerous and strong
enough to maintain itself in the face of
Europeans, while, on the other hand,
there is plenty of room left for large
European population to press in. This
is what has happened in South Africa
The Dutch and the English settlers do
not mix their blood with that of the
natives. So far as can be predicted, both
whites and natives will go on increas-
ing, but not blending. We shall pres.
emily see how grave are the problems to
which this fact must in the future give
rise. james Bryce in Century.
