sTAGEcoACH. DAYS {,
story OF n Trip From PortHmouth {
London In l17S0. *

Story OF a Trip From Portsmouth to
London In 1850. Ss.57
There are men and women-and they
are not always the old-who deplore
the breathless pnce Of the age. In
stngecoach days, they tell us, life was
n different thing. People journeyed
through the years lelsurely then; ex-
istence hnd flavor. A century ago a
journey meant fellowship and merry
adventures and comfortable enjoy
ment Of the beauties Of the landscape.
All this may be SO, but n traveller
who made the Journey from Ports
mouth to London IN 1880 shows that
even stagecoach days had their shad-
ows.
1.-THE getting up OH the coach alone
was at the risk Of ones life" he wrote,
''and when was up had nothing to
hold OH to except q little handle ut the
side. The moment we set OFF thought
saw certain death before me. The
machine rolled with tremendous rapid
ity over the stones and every minute
seemed to fly In the mir, SO that it ap-
pcarcd to me IL complete miracle that
wc stuck to the coach at all.
This continual fear Of death Mt last
became insupportable to me, and
carefully crept along the top Of the
coach and ensconced myself in the
bnsket behind.
''On n sudden the coach proceeded ut
rapid rate down hill. All the boxes,
iron nailed and copper fastened, began
to dance around me, md every moment
/ received such violent blows that
thought my last hour had come. Shak-
ell to pieces, bleeding md sore, crept
back to my former position. And it
rained inccssantly, and us before we
were covered with dust SO now we
We're soaked with rain.
"AIy ncighbor every now and then
fell asleep and when iii this state per.
petuully rolled and jolted against me
with the whole weight Of his body,
more than once nearly pushing me
from the seat to which l clung with
the last strength Of despair. I looked
and certainly felt like crazy fool
when I arrived III London"
The letter Is realistic. 1t Is possible
that twentieth century travelling, al-
though unromantic, hns It's compensa-
tions after all.-Youth's Companion.

while he was apparently perfectly con
scious, he talked very freely TO those
attending him. seeming to loose sight
Of his sulierings while looking out in
to the future, he was able to rejoice
that all was well with him. And
when asked if there was anythi%g he
wanted, answered mo, nothing in

Vinratiou,

The engineers in charge of the new
subway in Boston recently objected to
the passage Of a procession through
one of the streets where they were ex-
c~avating for fear that the vibration
Of the earth caused by the Rhythmic
beat Of the march might endanger the
abutting buildings. The line of march
was accordingly changed. 1t is a well
known fact of physics that vibrations
are as contagious rs smallpox. One
tuning fork will communicate it's hum
to another Of the same pitch in the
same room. and two clocks. one fast
and the other slow. will soon tick
spontaneously If put side by side on
the same table. When soldiers march
across a bridge they break step lest
the strain should damage the structure.
