The friendly communication and cerrespon- dence o today was little 50 high were the rates and slow the method. People would iive along without being in direct communication with friends, th> stages sometimes taking days for a trip. 1f communication was slow, so was traveling, besides being sn under- taking: filled with hardships. Mails costing 8 to 25 cents, to be paid by the Toceiver, was common on many lines, and these people would rather have their friends. think of them: cften and write to thom seldom. . So we come to an incident of a mail stage started by Goveraor Lovelace of New York in December, 1672. The mail was to be carried from New York ev- ery month by the postmaster, who was to g0 on horssback. At Hartford he was to change his horse. this man hav- ing an affixed salary. The letters were to be postpald and marked in accord- ance with that and put in bags labeled for the different towns. All by letters wera in an open bag. The only favor asked of the Boston commonwealth was to afford and mark the trails over which this carrier was to pass. Some- times this was an English wagon road, but oftener it was a mere Indian trail indicated by blazed trees. All rivers and bodies of water were to be crossed |in boats. This movement developed = mutual and friendly interest in each of the colonies. And as communication is started by mail s also we come. to | the beginning of actual journeys made by individuais. Madame Knight's Journey. An adventurous lady named Madame Knight started on a journey from Bo: ton to New York on horseback accom. panied by the postman, in 1704. It Was_the .beginning of a Jjourney of hardships and adventures. She started from Boston and proceeded on her Journey on horseback and continued through swamps until they came to Billings' tavern, where they were to lodge for the night. The next day at about 8 o'clock ths paty procceded, eating dinner in a tavern. The third day they came to a flooded river which was running swifter than usual. The guide led the horse through and the madame sat in the bottom of a mearly swamped eanoe pripalled vigorously by a boy. As soon as they reached the other side they continued the jourmey. When they had ridden a few they came to another fearfully danger- ous river. This was crossed in a short time without mishap. They kept bn as fast as was comfortable until the postman, who was ahcad of Madame Knight, sounded his horn, which meant that they had reached their lodging tavern. There they obtained rest, of wkhich they were sore in need. The next morning at the early hour of 4 they started on their journey to Kingston. With them went a Frenci doctor who made the journey mor2 pleasent. They stopped at the waysids taverns for meals and by nighttime they were at a good tavern at New London Here Madame Knight was in- vited by the good old minister of the town to lodge at his house—an invita- ticn which she gladly accepted. On the. following morning, having found a guide, they proceeded on their way to New Haven. They were fording a swift river when their horse nearly fell to ths rocky bottom. During the day they proceeded at a rapid pace until put up for the night. Again the next morning they set ont at’an early hour and after riding hard they reached New Haven at about 2 g'clock in_the afternoon. where Mad- ame Knight discharged her guide and prepared for a comfortable rest after her journe; After a iong rest, on Dec, § they pro- ceoded on the last stae of their jour- ngy. They proceeded day after dav, taking their meals and sleeping at ta erns, until they reached New Yorik, where she rested and startad back to Boston over the same route. This tals is only' an example of many similac trips. Springless .and ‘Backless. People traveled mostly in . stage coaches when ' they were running. These coaches were springless and Held at Johnson Home by Class Circle of The g's Daughters. | At the' Johnson home on Sunday | atternoon a special programme was carried out by Class circle of The| King's Daughters in observance of | Mother's day, the e having | ‘been arranged by Miss Anna Jarvis, | the founder of the day. There was a g00d attendance and the service was greatly enjoyed. - ‘The programme opened with the singing cf O Mother, Dear Jerusalem, followed by respomsive reading, the invocation and the Lord’s Prayer. Wel- come, Christian Mothers, was sung to the music of Onward Christian Sol- diers, following which there were se- lected readings by the members, who gave verses of Scripture containing the word mothér. An instrumental number by piano and vielin followed. After responsive reading, the hymn of the order, Lead as We Go, was sung and was followed by selected read- ings and a piano solo. The 23d psalm was recited by all, after which re- sponsive readings preceded a finely | rendered piano solo by Emerson Jones. | After the singing of Blest Be the Tie were sheltered inside by curtains. The seats were merely boards, with no bacl ther2 being three of these. There was always a rush for the twn enn seats, which had the sides of the wagzon to support the tired backs. The roads ver: rough and stony and the ssenger: were oftan joltcd off their ts_ only to land sprawling on the ficor." Faving to travel far by these rude means of convevance was no pleasant sensation. The meals Wwere taken at taverns and sometimes rest was also obtained there, but often when night came there was no tavern nea: and the weary traveler had ‘o erGeavor to rest his joited body as best ha could.

The liquors were rarely if ever left out; for in those days temperance societies had not been heard of. Then, rich or poor, good or bad, strong or weak, all en- joved the drink or toast, whether it ‘was rum, gin, whiskey or cider, the latter being the mest common, as it ‘was made by nearly every farmer. At the back of almost every farmer's house an apple orchard flourished, and a passenger in a passing coach would remark, “There is the home of good ola New England cider. Competition Was Keen.

It was felt the sceiability and geod fellowship, to say nof of the hardships and expos- ures of the journey, demanded-it. - Better Accommodations Demanded. But es time went on and the cities grew, § closer relationship sprang_up and = great demand for more fre- quant and direct cormunication also came. The trip between New York and Philadelphia was made twice 2 week. The epeed was hardly three miles an hour. Later, in 1776, an en- terprising young 1oan started-a line bétween the two cities and on this line were run lighter stages than usual which went at the high rate of five miles an hour. Ridiculous as it may now. seem, these lumbering . coaches were called “flying machines,” for in truth to those quiet, stay-at-home people they did seem to fly; and then the changes of horses were made with greatest possible rapidity, as many as eight men frequently assisting. Days of Yore. But the days of rising in the dark hours before daybreak and dressing in & cold room lighted by only the feeble days of a candle; starting on the crack of the driver's whip on a ten-mile ride betore breakfast, are over, New.York is no longer a six- day journey from Boston, or Philadel- phia a four-day trip from New York. Although as Thomas De Quincey says: “Modern modes of travel can- not compare with the old mail coach system in grandeur and power, they boast of more velocity, resting upon alien evidence; as, for_ instance, be- causé some one says, ‘We have gone fifty miles an hour, we are far from feeling it as a personal experience. But seated on the old mail coach we needed no evidence out of ourselves to indicate the velocity. We heard our speed, we saw 1t we felt it thrilling; and this speed was not the product of blind, insenate energies that had no sympathy to give, but was incarnate in the flery eyeballs of the noblest brutes, in bis dilated nostril, his spas- modic muscles, and their thunder- beating hoofs.” However, the past is gone; modern demands have given rise to all sorts of means of shortening distance and alng the route where once was heard the driver's horn_or the crack of his whip, we now find the télegraph pole and catch the whistle of locomotives or toot of the swift moving automo- bile, and presumably the day is not far distant when we must wateh for the warning from the aeroplane, lord- ing it over us. STAND TOGETHER AND GET SANATORIUMS. Necessary for New London and Mid- dlesex Counties, Says Commissioner Gunshanan. “The legislature will pass the bills for a sanatorium in New London and Middles=x counties if the members fromboth countles will stand together,” said Commissioner John F. Gunshanan in addressing a meeting he™ in_the town hall in Middletown Sunday after- noon. 3 The law providés that when necessi- ty arises thera shall be erected a sana- toritm 1A each-county, and surely ‘with an aver=ge. death rate of about 200 deaths in Middlesex county and 250 deaths in New London county annu- ally, and the three state sanatoriums crowded. the. legislature seems in duty bound to build these institutforis. Boards of Heaith. ‘The filthy+habit of expectorating in our - straets. which is the greatest menace in the spread of tuberculosis, would soon cease if local boards of health would provide sanitary cuspi- dors, which are made in the form of letter boxes and hung on posts throuzh the princtpal public thoroughfares of our cities, but until this is done we cannot hepe for the best results. Educate School Children. Fhe children in our schools should be teught how easily the disease of tuber- culosis is contracted from one to-the other, and it is the state’s duty to co- operate with: the school authorities to provide literature and instruction to prevent its spread among them. The need of education on public health in our sthools is sadly neglected. To many it seems that the studies in the higher grades are such as to tax the physical condition of numerous pupils, causing them ili health, and this might also be applied to our responsible and underpaid teachers. % The Wage Workers. The wage workers should realize that this battle against the “white plague” in their ranks must be stamped out by their own efforts and they should not expect others to do it for them. The employes in stores and factories should now ‘start and organize so that when the new sanatoriums are ready they whil be iri a position to pay for the care and treatment of their sick brothers and sisters, instead of having many of them paid for by the town, making panpers of them. This spirit of broth- erly love is operating to excellent ad- vantage in the city of Hartford. where during the past six vears more tham 400 workers have been paid for out of funds raised by ths wage workers, who have contrfbuted nearly $25.000 for this purpose in small amounts collected at varfous intervals, anl now the em- ploysrs are voluntarily outi one-half ths cost of the ¥ ployes, and fully 100 lives have been saved by this magnificent work they are doing. If soms 9me person will interest himself in each city where no organization is perfected they will find a ready and willing response from the working people. The speaker cloged by paying a trib- ute to the work done by the visiting nurses in the homes of the poor, whera destitution and poveriy are brought about by this terrible scourge.

Has an‘ldea of Electric Lighted Buoys to Guide Ocean Steamships. Horace Johnson, the best known of the €onnecticut weather prophets, was 7 years of age on Saturday and was pleasantly reminded of the anniver- sary at his home at Middle Haddam by calls and Bifts from many friends. His vears sit lightly upon him and while he is not as active as he was half a century ago he is remarkably, ! well preserved for a man who long ago passed the age allotted to a man in the Bible. He is suffering from no special infirmity and goes about pretty much the same as usual ex- cept that his interests are not as ex- tended as they were a few years ago. | He comes of a long lived family and expects to live to be at least a hun- dred’ years old. Besides his meteorological observa- tions -and weather predictions, Mr. Jonnson has been prominent in the fleld of invention and half a dozen of the mors important inventions of the present age are claimed by him. In recent yeass he has:devoted consid- erable time to a plan to light the ocean as a means of safeguarding the high-powered steamships that rush to and from on the bosom of the Atlan- tic to the imminent danger from col- lision. Mr. Johnson’s idea was to have the steamships run in lanes lighted by electric lamps arranged on buoys. Un- de- these conditions Mr. Johnson felt that steamships. could run at full speed in all kinds of weather and at night with as much safety as during the, calm of the day time. | TAFTVILLE Surprise Party for Peter Filligar— Notes and Personals.
