Travelling in Colonial Dav..

After the period Of walking and
canoeing had it's day in colonial times,
nearly all land travel. for a century,
was on horseback, just as it was in
England at that date. In 1872, there
were only six stage coaches in the
whole Of Great Britain, and a man
wrote pamphlet protesting that they
encouraged too much travel. Boston
then had one private coach. Women
and children usually rode seated on a
pillion behind a man. One way of prog
ress which would help four persons
ride part of their journey was what
was called the 'ride-and-tie' system.
Two of the four persons who were
travelling started on their route on foot;
two, mounted on the saddle and piIlion,
rode about mile. dismounted, tied the
horse, and walked on. When the two
who had started on foot reached the
waiting horse they mounted, rode on
past the other couple for a mile, dis
tied and walked on; and SO

would require the labor Of 10000, 900
men If produced by hand. In America
the advantage derived from machinery
is about twice as great as In Europe,
so that the actual production of the
United States is equal In productive
power to 15O,0O0,OOO Europeans. With
labor-saving machinery one generation
of men can do the work of four or five
generations Of hand workers.

From. Presbyterian Journal, Phild Pa.
After years of patient and intense
suffering, Miss Gertrude Gilbert, of
32O1 Dauphin street, Philadelphia,
Pa, has recovered her lost health,
and is today a rosy and blooming
specimen of young womanhood. To

count of her casef
81 had been sick for long time,
when a friend urged me to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Previous to this three doctors had
treated me. They diagnosed my trouble
as heart disease, together with con
sumption, and prescribed accordingly.
All this medical treatment did not
benefit me in the least. 1 was in
terrible condition. There was scarce
ly any blood left in my body. My
chief trouble was weakness, and after
-laborious efforts to get up stairs I
almost went into a faint and on sew
eral occasions thought was going to
die.
$50 little blood had I that my ears
were almost transparent, and my
complexion was as white as sheet
L can scarcely describe my senations,
but after repeated treatment by my
physicians I became thoroughly dis
couraged.
SIT was at this time that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills were recommended
to me, and | procured bx. Before
I had finished it I began to feel the
benefit to my health This gave me
encouragement, and I began a sys-
tematic course according to directions.
At the end of the seventh or eighth
box, in addition to having sufficient
quantity and better quality of blood
in my veins I was relieved of that
shortness of breath and quick heart
action which had been my chief trou-
BILE. My appetite returned, and I was
enabled to do my daily duties with a
cheerfulness which | had never before
experienced. | always, as a prevent

Superstition Relative to the Number
Thirteen SinEu1arIy Verified.
ST would not sit down to dinner in a
party of thirteen" said broker who
is credited with plenty of "horse sense"
"for the simple reason that don't in
tend to give coincidence a chance to
play into the hands Of superstition.
Moreover, l have had one very disa-
greeable experience along that line. In
the early spring of 1896 l was one of
bachelor party gotten up to give the
usual send-off to friend about to COM
NIT matrimony. There were fifteen of
us In the crowd, but at the last mement
two were called away. That reduced
US to the fatal number, which nobody
noticed until we were seated at the
table, when desperate effort was made
to scare up another guest, but no one
could be found. So we laughed the
matter off and went on with the fun,
but there was a palpable undercurrent
Of depression and several of the boys
acquired lachrymose jags-which, next
to the English comic newspapers, are
saddest things in the world.
"1f you are not familiar with the
terms will explain that a lachrymose
jag Is the stage of inebriety at which a
man tells you the story of his life and
weeps on your shoulders at intervals Of
six months in the narrative. However,
to get to the point, two of the fellows
present died in 1896, and the way the
circumstance demoralized nearly all the
others was simply amazing. In several
OF them 1t effected total change in dis
position. The death of distant rela-
dves, petty misadventures in business,
occasional attacks of sickness and a
hundred and one other incidents of
everyday life were all charged up to
the blight Of thirteen, and finally, about
year and a half later, I became SO
tired Of hearing that sort of stories that
l took the pains to collect statistics on
another stag party given within a few
weeks Of ours. An even dozen had
been present and the net result was:
Two deaths, three business failures,
one lost leg and one lost an eye in ac-
cidents, one embezzler skipped out, one
divorce and two men gone to the dogs
through drink. This was not party of
hoboes, either, but average chaps about
town, and their catalogue of disaster
put an end to further creaking over our
thirteen supper. All the same, l don't
yearn for a repetition of the experience
Life's toe short for all worry not strict
ly necessary."-New Orleans Times
