STAGE COACH.
SOME ODD VIEWS OF AN ANCIENT
ECONOMIST.
Them Miscellaneous to the
Public, Destructive to Trade and
Preiudicial to Lands.

The first stage coach seen in Eng
land was about the year 1853, and
another 100 years passed before the
stage coaches began to run; they
were not received with much favor.
In 1913, a treatise was published
in London by "A Lover Of His
Country and Well Wisher to the
Prosperity Both of the King and
Kingdoms, in which were used
many elaborate arguments and vio-
lent TRADES against them.
" These coaches and caravans"
says the writer, ARE one Of the
greatest mischifs that hath appear
ed of late years to the kingdom,
mischievous to the public, destruc-
tive to trade and prejudical to
lands"
He laments the decay of good
Workmanship, which would follow
if everyone rode TO London in
coach. He calculates that coach
from York, Chester or EXter would
have forty horses on the journey to
the capital and carry eighteen pas
sengers in a week In a whole
year, it would carry about 1872.
Suppose they were returning pas.
sengers, there would be o36, and
fot these forty horses would be suf-
ficient, but if people travelled in the
good, old-iashioned way, then at
least 500 horses would be required
for the work. The use of so many
horses would give employment to
many who were by the stage coach
thrown out of work, such as cloth
workers, diapers, tailors, saddlers
tanners, curriers', shoemakers, spur
riers, lorimers and tellmakers. The
inns would also suffer, for the stage
coach stops only at few, but when
gentlemen travelled on horseback,
accompanied, as they usually were
by two or three servants, they stop
ped at any and as often as they
liked, and thus encouraged trade.
Farmers will be ruined, be says,
by the stage coach; for how car
they dispose of their hay, straw,
a ID horse corn? Moreover, the in
huence on health would be bad;
men called out of their beds before
daylight, hurried from place &c
place until far on into the night;
in the summer stihed with heat and
choked with dust; in the winter
starving, and freezing with cold OIL
ehoked with filthy fog, obliged to
Tide all day with strangers and will
sick, ancient and diseased persons,
and with children crying, poisoned
with feted breaths and crippled by
the crowd of boxes and bundles.
Besides all these troubles, there
were accidents arising from the
rotten coaches and foul roads.
In short, the writer is fully con-
WINGED that if stage coach travelling
becomes popular the country will
go to ruin. Had he lived to see
the railway he would have been
bereft of his senses.

PATAGONIAN GIANTS.

The tribes at tn. east of the Cor
dilleras in southern Patagonia be-
long to Araucanian stock and are a
superior race The Tehuelches-
as they call themcelves-of south
ern and eastern Patagonia are the
people whose unusual stature gave
rise to the fables of early days to
the effect that the natives of these
regions were giants, averaging nine
or ten feet in hight. 1t is a fact
that they are the tallest human
beings in the world, the men aver
aging but slightly less than six feet
while individuals of four to six
inches above that mark are not un-
common. They are in reality by
no means savages, but somewhat
civilized barbarians. They are al
most unacquainted with the use of
firearms Notwithstanding SOME con-
tact with the whites, but they have
plenty of horses and dogs. Unsur-
passed hunters, they capture the
guanaco and the reha, or South
American ostrich, and from the
skins Of these and other animals
they make clothes and coverings for
their tents. They make beautiful
"capes," or mantels, of fur and
feathers, which are highly priced
by Europeans and find ready
market, most of the proceeds being
spent for bad whisky, which is
brought into the country in guam
titles by traders
