some one had not invented spinning machine where
would we get stockings? If loom had not been

trains had not been invented what dreary and tire
journey it would ride stage coach from
the Pacific to Atlantic IF the steamship had
not been invented would probably be three four
weeks months, journey from the United
States to Europe. If manufactures had not been es-
tablshed think of the mothers would have in
keeping their families clothed If the street had
not been invented how hard it would be to walk in

telegraphs lives would be lost to-day by train
