The people of this day and age
take very much as a matter of course
and do not seem to realize the mar
velous changes which have occurred,
and that large proportion of the
things we have and which we think
we cannot get along without were Ut
terly unknown to our ancestors a CEN
tury ago. We have conveniences and
labor contrivances innumer-

at that time. A hundred years ago a
man could not take ride on on a
steamboat, he had never seen an cleo
trio car he could not send a tele-
gram, he could not talk through a
telephone, he could not call in a
stenographer and dictate letter,
he never heard a photograph talk or
kaleidoscope turn out prize fight,
he had never taken ride on an ele-
vatOr, he had never seen his wife use
sewingmachine, he had ne'er struck
match, he couldn't take an anes-
thetic andhave his leg cut off without
feeling it, he had never seen a reaper
Oh a self binder harvester, he had
never crossed an iron bridge, he never
saw thru Webster's unabridged dicti-
onary with the aid of Roentgen ray,
lac never heard of a baseball game and
never saw lady on a bike.
