OPPOSED TIE STAGE COACH.
An Ancient Economist Who Thought
1t Would Ruin the Country.

The first stage coach seen in England
was about the year 1853. and another
100 years passed before stage coaches
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 King
DOM" in which were used many elab-
crate arguments and violent TRADES
against them.
'SThese coaches and caravans" said
the writer, 'are one of the greatest mis-
chiefs that hath happened of late years
to the kingdom, misch;evous to the
public. destructive to trade, and preiu-
dicial to lands"
He laments the decay of good horse
manship, which would follow if every
body rode to London in coach. He cal
culates that coach from York, Chester
Or Exeter would have 40 horses ON the
Journey to the capital and carry IS pas
sengers a week. In the whole year il
would carry about 1872. Suppose there
were returning passengers, there would
be 936, and for these 40 horses would be
sufficient; but if people Travelled in the
good, old-fashioned way, then at least
500 horses would be required for tn,
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,
spurriers, lorimers, and fellmakers.
The inns would also suffer, for the stage
coach stops only at few, but: when
gentlemen Travelled on horseback, &C
companied, as they usually were, by
two or three servants, they stopped at
any'and as often as they liked, and thus
encouraged trade.
Farmers will be ruined, he says, by
the stage coach; for how can they dis
pose of their hay, straw and horse corn?.
Moreover, the influence on health would
be bad; men called out-of their beds be-
fore daylight, hurried from, place to
place until far into the night, in the
summer stifed with heat and cholzed
with. dust, in the winter starving and
freezing with cold or choked with filthy
fog, obliged to ride all day with
strangers and with sick, ancient. and
diseased persons and with children cry
ing; poisoned with fetid breaths and
crippled by the crowd of boxes and bun
dies. Besides all these troubles there
were accidents arising from the rotten
coaches and foul roads.
In short, the writer is fully convinced
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.-N. Y.

every woman in sight was in love with

a lily Of the field, in that she neither
toiled nor spun, but wore gowns that
were the admiration Of her friends and
would have discounted Solomon's.
They had been talking about am
billions. At least three Of them had,
and the frivolous young woman, who
hadn't any yearning for laurel Wreaths,
finally interrupted the rhapsodies.
''Bother the future,' she said, en-
phatically. THE question is, are you
having good time now, and have you
had a good time? I'm so busy with
the present and past lenses of ITO live;
that l never get around to the Future
1T all depends on what you call hay

Profits OF Football.

The total receipts of the recent great
Yale-Princeton contest in New Haven
were $2S, 396.77. Of this amount $27, 3s7
was obtained from the sale of seats.
there being 14,S19 admission tickets
sold, and the balance, $1oS1.77, came
from the programme privilege. Yale
and Princeton each get $12,OS2.71 as
their share of the net receipts of the
game. This compares favorably with
the game of 1896 on Manhattan field.
when the two colleges divided $2S, 316 .66
net receipts. Indeed, but for the fact
that there was one expenditure of 3d.
23l.35 in providing seating capacity on
Yale field, the net receipts of 1897 would
have exceeded those of 1896. Prince
ton shared this expenditure.

that there can be but one Alexandria
