Riding was the only alternative to
walking at the beginning of Elizabeth's
reign, and lady never rode without
six or seven serving men to carry attire
suitable to all contingencies, and the
means to repair toilet which might
suffer on the journey. To diminish this
cost coaches came into use. They were
introduced in 1864 by Dutch coachman
of the queen; but we are told "a
coach was a strange monster in those
days, and the sight of it put both man
and horse into amazement; some said
it was great crabshell brought out Of
China, and some imagined it to be one
of the pagan temples in which the cam
nibals worshiped the devil" But at
length these doubts were cleared and
coachmaking became a substantial
trade. So rapid was the increase of
coaches that in 1901 an act of parlia-
ment was passed ito restrain the ex-
cessive and superfiuous use of coaches
within this realm" In spite of this in
novation, no method could be devised
which made locomotion pleasant

| torrents of dirt finding their way to

SOME NEW CRIMES.
Singular Infractions of the Laws
That Have Recently Come
to Light.

Every point of view which affords an
extended retrospect, makes plain the
wonderful progress of civilization to
which this century has contributed 80
much.
The United States members of the
international prison commission finds
such point of view in the penal laws
which the states of the union have en-
acted during the last few years. He
imagines Draco and Scion, the great
lawgivers of the Greeks, making tour
of our prisons and reformatories, and
asking the various inmates what Of
lenses they had committed.
A man in Virginia Jail replies: Il
killed partridge on the End OF
February" A Massachusetts druggist
says: Il sold cocaine without doc
tors prescription" In Tennessee a
man is found to be serving term of
three years for killing fish with dyna~
mite; Wisconsin baker has had to pay
fine and spend six weeks in Jail fol
sleeping three nights in his bakery; a
New York man tempered with an auto
matte ballot machine; California
nurse neglected to report to doctor
that baby's eyes were infamed.
81 was convicted for watering a BIZ
cycle PATH" says an Ohio street-sprink-
Ter. Il tapped telegraph-wire," states
another; land sold kerosene that was
not up to the fire test" declares third.
If the old lawyers were to extend
their tour of investigation still farther,
they might learn of men fined or i'm
prisoned for dropping advertising mat
ter in letter chutes; for gambling by
means of ''slot machines;" and foH
countless other offenses, the very
means for committing which were I'M
known 100 years ago.
| Thus the statute-books record the
march of civilization, proclaiming thu
increased richness of life, and suggest
ing opportunities and responsibilities
unknown even to the preceding genera
ton. Young men of to-day are apt t.
hear much about the growing fierce
ness of competition and the increasing
difficulties of making living; but tn
student of progress will not need to g
far into the past to find an answer t.
