f THE MODERN BLACKSMITH :
BLACKSMITHS
in country towns
important posi
tions are allotted
nowadays. Since
the times of which
early poets wrote
the business of
the horseshoer has
broadened out to
such an extent
that he is recog
nized as runnjng
a shop 'second in
importance to no
other in town.
xn thousands of instances
blacksmith wields an infuence in the
town council; frequenUv he is the
mayor. It is a common thing to find
-i,? an oirjprman. and in some
'stances at least, the residence, of
the
in-
a
vfflage blacksmith, in a prosperous
town is as fine as that or tne Danser.
In a great many instances he nas a
good store of books; there are nne
pictures on his walls. The earnings
from his trade are Invested in shops
that are equipped with every modern
appliance and in many other ways
his general prosperity Is made plain
to the world.
Men in the country now are more
particular about having fine horses
on their farms and naturally more
careful about the way they are shod.
There has been -almost as much im
provement in fitting a shoe on the
foot of a horse as there has been in
the work of "a dentist in repairing the
human teeth.
And all this change despite the , in
vasion of the equine field by the automobile!

ing the "opium-shop evil." Efforts are
ir to reduce the number of
dens and to restrict the smoking of I
the drug and to curtail the loafing
and vice that accompany opium smok
ing by compelling each shop to take
out a license and to pay a tax accord
ing to the lumber of "lamps" in each
sh$. The shops are divided into four
classes and the fees are graded ac
cordingly from U a month to twenty
cents for. each lamp, payable on the
10 th of every month. The recent
proclamation of the Pekin sanitary
department reads as follows: "Opium
smoking is extremely harmful to the
health and the shops where opium
- is smoked are the retreats of loafers.
Such places should really be alto
gether prohibited, so that the people
might enjoy more prosperity, and
dens of thieves would thus be done
awav with. But as opium smoking has
hArome such a habit it cannot be got
a f onfirplv and at once. The evil
can only be removed gradually.
"There are in the outer city of Pe
kin many plum shops, and it Is evi
dent that the smokers are increasing
every day, which is very ba.d. The
department has taken into considera
tion the matter and arrangements
have been made for those who will
abandon the habit.- In addition, the
opium shops opened in the outer city
of Pekin have been divided into four
classes and are to bJ taxed after cer
tain regulations. They are to regis
ter themselves according to tneir
classes and the number of lamps for
the payment of taxes so that inspec
tion can easily be effected.
"Shop owners are hereby informed
of the regulations and that they are
to come to this department for regis
tration beginning from the 30th day
1st moon 31st year of Kuang Hsu. If
any one dares to make a false declara
tion as to his class or he number of
lamps, opens shops without license or
refuses payment of the tax, if discov
ered, the building used for smoking
opium will be - confiscated and the
owners strictly fined as a warning to
these private dealers in opium shops.
All must respect this order and not
disobey."

The dflVer of ibe Oaktown stage
. Was a person of much amiability and
a large fund of anecdote, but bis
memory was by no means of tbe best.
The inhabitants of his native town
made many excuses for him, but sum
mer visitors found his failing a par
ticularly trying one.
v ."That man should be complained of
and should lose his -position a3 ex
press agent and mail carrier!" said
one exasperated man who had been
obliged to remain in Oaktown over
another night, owing to Ranny Feet's
' forgetting to call for him.
- "Well, now, I guess you didn't im
- press it on Ranny that he was to
take ye," said an Oaktown man,
moved to mild remonstrance.
"Imoress it on him!" echoed the
summer visitor. I wrote my name
on his order book in the postoffice.
I should like to know what more I
could have done."
"Well, now, it's like this," said the
farmer, with a half-apologetic air.
"Sometimes there's a number of ord
ers on that book, and Ranny might
happen to forget one of 'em, so what
folks most generally do is fust to
write their names in the book, and
then speak to Ranny about it when
he's up on the trip before the one they
want to go on. And then they ask
Lemul, the postmaster to kind of re
mind Ranny when he stops for the
mail. And then we always deem it
wise to be all ready to start in time
enough so's we can walk down to the

It was In 1658 that the first regular
stage coach began running between
the' two- capitals, London and Edin
burgh. It ran once a fortnight and the
fare was 4, which would be a good
deal more than $20 to-day. The time
taken to the journey is not accurately
toiown, but between York and London
it was four days. This lavish system
' of communication was not, however,
Tiept up, as in 1763 the coach ran be-
tweSn London and Edinburgh once a
month only, taking a fortnight, if the
weather was favorable, to the journey.
,In 1754 a heroic effort was made to
Improve the London and Edinburgh
coach. The Edinburgh Courant for
that year contained the following ad
vertisement: "The Edinburgh stage coach, for the
better accommodation of passengers,
will be altered to a genteel two end
glass coach, being on steel springs, ex
ceeding light and easy, to go in ten
days in summer and twelve in winter,
to set out the first Tuesday in March
and continue it from Hosea Eastgate's
the Coach and Horses, in Dean street,
Soho. London, and from John Somer-
ville's, in the Canongate, Edinburgh,
etc. Passengers to pay as usual. Yat-
formed, if God permits, by your dutiful
servant, Hosea Eastgate.'
In the days of stage coaches people
sometimes clubbed together and hired
a post chaise for their journey as be
ing quicker and less expensive, and
Scottish newspapers occasionally con
tained advertisements to the effect
that a person about to proceed to Lon
don would be glad to hear of a fellow
"adventurer" or two bent on the same
journey to share the expense.
