Old Coaching Days.

The Old coaching days, as far as con-
venience for travel was concerned, were
the dawn of the great days Of our pres
ent rapid means Of communication. The
20 years or so i'll which mail coaches
waxed and fourished and finally died
out before the incursiOn of railways and
steam engines have decided flavor of
romance attached to them, and no doubt
the coming and going Of stagecOaches
lent a certain amount of color and in
terest and life to the country places and
towns through which ran the great main
coaching roads. The Bath road, the
Dover road, the York road were high
ways of communication along which
rolled the heavy private coaches and
Chariots Of the country magnates, and
the stagecoaches with their steaming
horses passed the various stopping
places with the regularity Of cloclwOrk.
These stagecoaches, with their COM
plement of coachmen and guards, af
forded endless subjects Of interest and
illustration to the artist and the literary
men of the day. Imagine Charles Dick
ems without stagecoaches and denuded
of all his vivid descriptions of the
scenes such as those in the yard Of the
White Hart inn, High street, Borough,
i'll "Pickwick, " or of the mail coach on
the Dover road in "a Tale of Two
Cities. 1t is difficult for the present
generation to realize the fatigue and
the wintry cold Of such long journeys,
when frozen feet were enveloped in a
little straw, and a "shawl" folded
round the neck was thought to be a fit
protection against the keen night air,
strong contrast to the luxurious cush-
toned carriages, hot water tins and fur
lined rugs and greatcoats Of the present
day. London Spectator.

Warm weather in the kitchen touches
upon wider subject than the mere
banishing Of dirt from that important
apartment and its store places; it in
cludes the introduction Of new methods,
freshCr life and wholesomer food. In
summer we have need to be especially
watchful Of our larders and the food in
them. Little carelessnesses which may
be of small consequence in cold weather
become of great moment in a warm or
damp atmosphere. Milk and butter are
both notorious for their faculty Of alb
sorbing the taste of whatever is placed
near to them. Yet unthinking servants
put uncooked meat, fish and even vege-
tables by their side with impunity.
Much waste arises because the food
thrown away has become bad" or
"sour" through this fault alone.
Soup will keep good for many days in
the hottest weather if the simple pre-
caution of warming up be taken every
day, and milk that has been boiled will
be three days before it turns at all sour.
Apropos Of milk, however, there is no
possible excuse for wasting single
drop, for the uses Of stale milk are man
fold both in cookery and for house
cleaning purposes.
Food often becomes tainted when the
weather gives no possible reason for it
because the dish or cover that it touches
is not clean. A very apparently triding
thing is often enough to spoil a great
one; hence the value Of a strict daily in
spection ON the part Of heads of house
holds.
Iced dishes must be cold and daintily
dished, the decoration being so carefully
managed that, though pretty and arts
tic, it should not give u suggestion of
lingering Overhandled dishes are an
abomination never sufficiently to be
condemned. The garnish should never
set the beholder wondering how it came
there. 1t should be eatable, like the rest
Of the dish, and should be appetizing.
Impossible colors and fantastic shapes
should be avoided. No one wishes to
set their teeth in claggy mess of fried
gelatin or be rendered apprehensive
Of sudden death by pink mayonnaise,
purple chaufroiX, ETC., atrocities intro
duced when the "colored dinner" or
lunch was the within Of the moment
Careful handling is particularly nec-
essary if green salads are to be the de-
lightful, refreshing, wholesome things
we expect III warm weather. Try this
way of treating lettuce and see what at
tention to small details will do: Pull
the leaves apart, allowing each to re-
main whole; wash carefully; then let
them lie in very cold water for 10 min
utes, after which shake the water off
each leaf, placing them in a white mos
quito netting bag.

MASCULINE MEDICINE CHESTS.
Every Man Carries His FavOrite Remedy
Always with Him.

1t is customary for men to sheer good
naturally at the physical weaknesses OF
the opposite sex, but women would
doubtless be surprised could they know
how generally the medicinal remedy
habit permeates the ranks of their mas
culine friends Think over your list Of
male acquaintance and pick out the
few who have no ailments and carry no
bottles, powders or prescriptions. They
will be very few indeed, unless your list
includes but very young men.
1t has been said that every woman
knows the best face wash on earth and
is willing TO part with her secret only
ON compulsion, but will try anything
else suggested by friend. But men are
the most obstinate believers in sovereign
remedies. Every man carries at least
one remedy in his inside pocket and is
willing to unload it on anybody who
will listen or dare to test its infallibil-
ity. l have known four or five healthy
looking men in a group, not one Of
whom would be suspected of ever being

little unsupported boxes of pills and as

their confidential hiding places and dis.

lous powers.

been at some time, more or less remote,
an apparent justification Of merit claim
ed, from which time and thenceforth
forever that particular individual goes

The seven states known rs the Saxon
heptarchy were formed in the sixth
and seventh centuries, and the rulers OF
these states were called "bretwaldas, "

Kent, was bretwalda for so years and
liked it first rate.

The first literary man Of note was q
monk Of Whitby named Cedmon, who
wrote poems ON biblical subjects when
he did not have to monk. His works
were greatly like those Of Milton, and
especially like Paradise Lost, it is
said.
Gildas was the first historian of Brit
ain, and the scathing remarks made
about his fellow countrymen have never
been approached by the most merciless
of modern historians.
The book was highly interesting and
it is a wonder that some enterprising
American publisher has not appropriated
it, as the author is now extremely dead.

4 Peculiar Charm Possessed by South Az
rican Scenery.


rican Scenery.
A peculiar charm which South Afri-
CAL scenery possesses is that Of primeval
solitude and silence. 1t is a charm
which is differently felt by different
minds. There are many who find the
presence Of what Homer calls 'the rich
works Of men" essential to the perfec
ton Ct q landscape. Cultivated fields,
gardens and orchards, farmhouses dot
ted here and there, indications i'll one
form or another Of human life and la
Dor, do not merely give greater variety
to every prospect, but also impart an
element which evokes the sense of sym.
pathy with our fellow men and excites
a whole group Of emotions which the
contemplation of nature, taken by it.
self, does not arouse.
No one is insensible to these things,
and some find little delight in any scene
from which they are absent. Yet there
are other minds to which there is some
thing specially solemn and impressive
in the untouched and primitive sim
plicity of a country which stands now
Just as it came from the hands of the
Creator. The self sufficientness of ma.
ture, the insignifcance Of man, the
mystery Of a universe which does not
exist, as our ancestors fondly thought,
for the sake of man, but for other pur-
poses hidden from us and forever undis-
coverable-these things are more fully
realized and more deeply felt when one
traverses an immense wilderness which
seems 10 have known no change since
the remote ages when hill and plain and
valley were nodded into the forms we
see today.
Feelings Of this kind powerfully af-
feet the mind Of the traveller i'll South
Africa. They affect him in the Karroo,
where the slender line of rails, along
which his train creeps all day and all
night across long stretches of brown
desert and under the crests Of stern,
dark hills. seems to heighten by con-
trast the sense Of solitude-a vast and
barren solitude interposed between the
busy haunts of men which he has left
behind on the shores of the ocean and
those still buster haunts whittier he is
bent, where the pick and hammer sound
upon the Witwatersrand and the palpi-
tating engine drags masses of ore from
the depths Of the crowded mine. They
affect him still more in the breezy high
lands of Matabeleland, where the eye
ranges over an apparently endless sue
cession of undulations clothed with tall
grass or waving wood till they sink in
the blue distance toward the plain
through which the great Zambezi takes
its seaward course. Professor James

Christianity was first preached in
Great Britain in 597 A. D., at the sug.
gestion Of Gregory, afterward pope,
who by chance saw some Anglican
youths exposed for sale i'll Rome. They
were fine looking fellows, and the good
man pitied their benighted land. Thus
the Roman religion was introduced into
England and was first to turn the saw
age heart toward God.
Augustine was very kindly received
by Ethelbert and invited up to the
house. Augustine met with great sue
cess, for the king experienced religion
and was baptized, after which many Of
his subjects repented and accepted sal
walton on learning that it was free. AS
many as 10000 in one day were con-
verified, and Augustine was made arch
bishop Of Canterbury. On a small island

Gold by the Yard.
Pearson's Weekly.

Pearson's Weekly.
The beating of the innumerable lit
tie square pieces of gold which are us
ed to cover domes and signs, and so on,
forms distinct industry in the gold
trade, which employs large number
of hands and requires no small amount
of skill.
The long low building in which the
work is carried on is filled throughout
the day with the sound Of hammers.
On every side little boxes containing
tiny rolls OF gold are to be seen, which,
although only measuring an inch and
half In length, are each worth about
f1O. The gold Is received in bars one
eighth of an inch in thickness, an inch
in width and weighing 24O penny
weights. This is rolled ont into ribbon
thirty yards in length. It is then CIV
en- to the workmen in strips measuring
seven yards, each of which is cut up
into 18O pieces. These are now ready
to be beaten out by hand. They are
placed, protected by fine skins in tool
known as the "clutch," and are thor
oughly pounded out on a great granite
block set in the ground in such a way
that there Is absolutely no vibratory
movement. The process is repeated
several times, the gold as it spreads be-
ing continually subdivided until it is
of the exact dimensions required.
The skins In which the gold is beat
en- are SO delicate that they will tear as
easily as~paper, nevertheless they are
of so fine quality that they will with
stand the continual hammering for sew
eral years. The gold which is finally
beaten down to 100000 of an inch is
rubbed with "brine" before being plac-
ed in the skins, in order that it shall
not adhere to them.
Easy as this work of beating out the
gold may seem, it is, in reality, an art
of very delicate description. The
workman must know to nicely pre-
cisely how hard or gentle the blows OF
his hammer must be, also the exact
spot on which they should fall. Ac-
cordingly, very superior class of men
are employed in the business.
