Hoir the World TFagged Forty Tears Ago.
Forty years ago the flint and steel
were used in many a farmer's household
for kindling the fires. Matches, not so
plentiful as now, were called "locofocos,"
a name also for a time applied to the
Democratic party. .
The spinning wheels hummed and buz
zed in many houses. Farmera raised
flax and hemp and wore their own
"home-spun" and home-dyed.
Gentlemon wore ruffled bosoms,
"stocks" in place of cravats and high
shirt collars. False bosoms, termed
"dickeys," tied on with strings, served
such as would make a pretense of wear
ing a shirt.
The "stock" was a collar of steel en
circling the neck, covered with silk or
satin and. having a permanent bow in
front.
Shoemakers in the country made every
body's shoss and never kept their word.
asa black coats, generous in creases, and
our lathers wore them with contented
and placid minds. A suit of clothes a
year was the average limit.
Pantaloons were strapped under the
boots; buttoning pantaloon straps was
hard and irksome and unclean. The
majority of our fathers did not indulge
in that luxury.
Pantaloons and boots were frequently,
when worn with straps, taken off and
put on together to save time and trouble.
The gaiter was little worn.
Long, heavy cloaks, reaching quite to
the heels, were worn by our elders. Such
a cloak lasted almost a lifetime.
No male attire was perfect without a
big "fob chain" and seal dangling from
the waistband. Gold watches were
scarce. Silver watches were large in di
mensions. They were wound up with a"
key, which was always getting lost, and
in the winding the machinery was noisy.
Some of the styles and changes in cut
and fashion were even more marked than
those of to-day. At one time gentlemen
wore a summer garment called a "blouse."
though very unlike that of the French
workman. It was of linen, reaching to
the knee, belted at the waist, buttoning
iu irom irom me bxirc 10 me nosom, ana
was pleated above and below the belt. It
resembled the old time American hunt
ing shirt, and was a very comfortable
and becoming garment. At another
period men wore white duck-linen jack
ets, much shorter than the present sack
coat.
Gentlemen put their f6et in pumps, or
low slippers, at balLs and dancing parties.
Dancing then in shoes or gaiters would
have been deemed as great a lack of pro
priety as would be going to an evening
party now in a pair of rubber boots.
The ball rooms were illuminated by
candles stuck in sockets on the walls. Or,
if more pretentious, in a chandelier sus
pended from the ceiling. The candles
would drip, and the ladies' and gentle
men's apparel frequently testified to that
fact. "Round dances" were barely toler
ated waltzing was scandalous.
Some of the "steps" peculiar to that
period required no small degree of agility
on the part of the gentlemen. The
"pigeon wings" and the "double shuffle"
lifted a man quite off the floor and would
startle a modern ball room. The ladies
lifted their skirts so as not to interfere
with their freedom of pedal locomotion
and were not adverse to the display of
well-turned ankles. Striped and colored
hosiery were unknown.
Vegetables were far less in variety than
now. Tomatoes were regarded with sus
picion. They were called "love apples,"
cultivated as a garden ornament and bus
pected of poisonous tendencies. Canned
fruits and vegetables were generally un
known. Children were more respectful to their
elders. Boys wore required to bow and
girls to "courtesy" on entering and leav
ing the school room. Boys said "sir"
when addressed by a grown person, a
juvenile habit now generally dispensed
with and swept away by the march of
progress.
Party spirit was more bitter and dem
onstrative than to-day. Sworn foes ex
isted in every village, who had not spoken
to each other for years on account of
political differences. Men cried like
children because Henry Clay was not
elected president. The only aristocratic
families who had held office since the
time of Washington and who deemed
federal office theirs by a sort of Divine
right, held firmly to their hatred of
Andrew Jackson until relieved by death
of the capacity for hating. A congress
man then had a standing in the commu
nity which, in many cases, might now be
envied.
The bottle of the period was a very
thick, very heavy, very clumsy, very dark
green and almost black "junk bottle."
Thpt, too, has gone out of existence with
the "old soldier of the revolutionary war"
and warming-pans. The common lantern
of the time was of tin, pierced with many
holes somewhat after the fashion of the
nutmeg grater, through which the light
from a candle end glimmered and was
often blown out by a strong blast.
A man returned from Illinois, then one
vast prarie, was deemed an adventurer
and explorer.
One who had seen London and Paris
was a man of note in the community.
On the school boy's map of that period
the "Indian Territory" covered a great
area, now occupied by prosperous states.
California was Known only in connection
with hides and tallow. West of the
Rocky mountains, all save a small area
of Oregon was wild, vague and misty,
and consequently mysterious and fascin
ating. Straw brooms were made "round" and
"flat." The round broom, for floor
sweeping is obsolete. The country wife's
favorite duster for cupboards and corn
ers difficult of access was the wing of a
wild goose.
Wooden clocks were universal. ""Brass
clocks" were considered as something
extra" and sun-dials were occasionally
seen.
Old people called auctions "vendues."
Children were whipped on their birthdays
a custom of unexplained origin.
A woman or girl under the pressure of
familiar rebuke was often called "a good-for-nothing
trollope." This was due to
Mrs. Trollope's book criticising so severe
ly and justly the raw American manners
and customs of that time. Our fathers
swallowed criticism with a wry face, es
pecially when its origin was English.
All men in these days chewed fine-cut
tobacco. The spittoon was found even
in the family pew. Cigarettes were un
known. The richer and older families
kept side-boards in the dining-rooms well
stocked with liquors. The parson mak
ing a parochial call, was still open to a
cheering glass of spirits. A big jug of
Now England rum always accompanied a
"house-raising," The whole village
would turn out to help. Red-nosed dea
cons were not uncommon. Prosperous
merchants sometimes walked unsteadily
heme about 5 or C o'clock in the evening.
Such a gait and its inference was not
then laid up against a man as now.
A divorced woman was a social pariah
and a curiosity.
The pump was of wood, long-handled,
big-monthed, wheezy, and often out of
order.
The more pretentious architecture of
the time ran largely to Grecian pillars
and porticoes of wood.
Methodist churches were not topped
with steeples, but terminated bluntly in
a oig dux 01 a ueury. insiae mey were
quite devoid of ornament.
Other than the Episcopal places of
worship were termed "meeting-houses."
Dr. Pierce's "Favorite Prescription,"
for all those weaknesses peculiar to
women, is an unequaled remedy. Dis

properties, uy druggists.

Millions Lost aad Won.
The amount of money lost in Wall
street by the depression in Northern Pa
cific stock can be no more figured than
the amount gained. One thing TiBLjiiin
that every broker who has a buI?Vn
Yillard's stocks is out of inonoy and that
every bear has made a sum quite sufficient
to keep a family at the seaside for sev
eral summers.
"How much money vas lost during
this struggle?" asked a N6w York World
reporter of another prominent broker on
the 24th nit.
"That's a very difficult question to an
swer," ho replied. "I know one thing,
however, that any man who lost tuonev
in the street on Northern Pacific Ios't
largely."
"How much do you suppose D. O. Mills
lost in Yillard's stocks?'' was the next
question asked.
"I think Mr. Mills lost about S500,
000." "How much did Horace Porter lose?"
"Between $400,000 and $500,000, I
think."
"Who made all this money?"
"Well," replied the broker, medita
tively, "I guess you can credit "Uncle
Bill" Travers with an even $500,000, and
now if a man cannot be funny and crack
jokes on an evening at the club after
clearing $500,000, Lshould like to know
it. Henry Clews is a wonderful man.
You must remember thai a short time
ago he went overboard on southern secur
ities and was bankrupt. He is worth
probably $5,000,000 to-day, one-fifth of
which he made since he began to bear the
Villard stocks."
"How much money did Frank Work
lose ?", was asked, and the answer
given was that Mr. Work had lost enough
money to buy Jay-Eye-See two or three
times over.
Another broker, who said that he spoke
from personal experience, said that the
following amounts had been lost in Vil
lard stocks during the past two months.
"I will not say," said tne broker, "that
these amounts pre exactly correct, but
they are pretty nearly so:"
D.O.Mills $500,000
Drexel, Morgan & Co., between
$500,000and 600,000
Horace Porter 400,000
Chas. Higginson & Co 450,000
Winslow, Lanier fc Co. between
$300,000and 400,000
Ex-President Billings 500,000
Decker, Howell & Co 500,000
SamuelBoocock 300,000
Work, Strong & Co 250,000
Against these figures are the amounts
which went over to the other side of the
market, namely, to the bears:
Woerishoffer&Co $400,000
Henry Clews fc Co 900,000
Hamburger&Co 500,000
William R Travers. 400,000
"There are other people," continued
the broker, "myself included, who took
our little shares out of the Villard rail
road. I cannot now distinctly recall
them. There are probably a hundred
other people who have lost fortunes in
Mr. Yillard's stocks, whose stories will
never be told. YeB, you can call them
'lambs' if you like. They are the people
who confided their fortunes to the brok
ers to be invested in Wall Street secur
ities." "How long will it be before these
different gentlemen will recuperate then
losses?" "That I cannot tell, nor anyone Glse.
They may make the money to-morrow,
and they may drop just as much more;
but it is very seldom that a shrewd oper
ator loses successively."
Henry Clews was Been next, and asked
about tne recent sudden changes in the
stock market.
"I cannot," said Mr. Clews, "give you
any names in regard to the loss and gain
in Wall street. In regard to Mr. Villard
and his road I will, however, give you
my opinion. The Northern Pacific prop
erty has a future, but that future is real
ly in the future. The trouble with Mr.
Villard as a manager is that he specu
lates so much as to disqualify him from
being a judicious manager of such an
important trust as he had on hand. Tho
man who gives himself to speculation is
unfit for such work, and therein lies Mr.
Villard's unfitness for the management
of such an enterprise as the Northern
Pacific Railroad."
