ODDITIES OF BYGONE DAYS

THOSE who are accustomed to look back
with longing eyes to the good cid days" will
- find it interesting to learn that in the middle
of the eighteenth century the common carrier be-
tween Selkirk and Edinburgh, distance of thirty
eight miles, required two weeks to make the journey
In 1878 it took day and half for stage coach
to go from Edinburgh to Glasgow, only forty-four
miles away. About the same time the swiftest
stages seldom covered the road between Edinburgh
and London, three hundred and ten miles, in less
than two weeks, an average speed of about twenty
two miles day.

Recently doubt arose in London museum as to

of their dead. So their suspicious were allayed.

Some Old Fakes

OUCH is the skill Of modern counterfeiters Of
- antiques that the most learned experts often
deceived into paying enormous prices for relics
of bygone ages Frequently, too, the task of the
swindler is made easy by the enthusiasm of the anti
quarry.
An instance of this when Vallenceyl, the cele-
brated Irish antiquary, paid great sum for a
sculptured stone found upon the hill of Tara. He
reproduced the six letters engraved the stone in
his costly work on antiquities, and made them out
to be Belus God of Fire.
They proved afterward to be only some of the let
tiers of the of Irish laborer, scratched upon
the stone with knife.
