projected combination of shipbuilders about

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
Huntington Hawkeye }

IL is quite natural, perhaps, the COM
mon practice Just now to medita to over
all the good which the last century has
done for us, and to extol In glowing
phrases the splendid progress made in the
conditions of the world in general and OF
each individual living In &c in particular.
Companions are made between the way
people live now and the way they lived
at the beginning of the century tutt
loGed and the universal verdict is. OF
course, that we are much better of, live
a great deal more comfortably aud enjoy
q great many more good things than our
grandparents and great-grandparents dio
IN 1901.
This progress aud the many, many
changes in the methods Of life are really
surprisinR in their magnitude and num-
ber 60 much SO that II Is not easy 70
enumerate them In fact 1t is battling
| task to make q comparison OF present CON
ditions of life with the conditions at the
beginning Of the nineteenth century
| The LeAvenwo Times has scheduled
some of the changes. OF which rev are
these:
One hundred years ago man conld
not take a ride on a steamboat.
lie could not go from Washington to
New York In few hours.
lie had never SEEN an electric light or
dreamed OF an electric car.
de could not send telegram,
lie couldn't talk through the telephone,
ana he had never heard OF the hello girl.
He could not ride bicycle.
He could not call In stenographer and
dictate lstter.
He had never received tpye written
he mad never heard OF the germ system
or worried over bacili and bacteria.
| He never looked pleasant before pho
| tographer or had his picture taken.
| He never heard phonograph talk OF
saw q kaleidoscope turn out prizs nght.
| lie never saw through Webster
Unabridged Dictionary with the aid ol
a Roentgen ray.
He never had taken q ride in an eleVa
| tor.
| He had never imagined such a thing al
a type-st tting machine or a typewriter.
| He had never ussd anything but q
wooden plough.
| He had never seen his wife using q
/ sewing machine.
| He had never struck match on hi
pants or anything else.
He couldn't take an anaesthetio anc
have his leg cut of without fe3ling 1t.
Hc had never purchased a tsn-cent
magazine which would have been regard
Ell as a miracle OF art.
| He could not buy q paper and Learn
everything that had happened the day
| before all over ths Worlu,
He had never seen Mccormick reapel
or a selr-binding harvest ar. lie had never
crossed an iron bridge.
How this list could be extended, and
how everyone might add Items to it. Ihe
fact is, life has been more reyolutiouizeo
during the last century than during any
like period previous. And for the netteT
all through There Is not man o.
