Tie Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, February 19,1902. Telephones and Travel. Richmond Times. Telephones are beginning to make their value felt in an interesting and striking way. Recent stock market gossip has it that the hotels and railroads in the West are complaining of #11 Jt the loss of business wincn 18 ionoweu as a direct result of the use being made of long distance telephones. The people are beginning to make rise of the phrase "Don't travel. Telephone," and so the passenger traffic between St. Louis and Chicago and between Boston and New York is showing a diminution which is being attributed to the u e of the telephone. This is another example of bow much our lives have been widened by the field of science and . the power of invention. A man is now able to keep himself in touchy with more interests and more people than four of his grandfathers could have done. And, as a consequence, life has been filled oat and widened just that much more. With the per fection of rapid transit, which will ffect a still further eaving in time, life will be still more enriched and lengthened by giving us more time for such work as we most prefer. Blown To Atomas. The old idea that the body sometimes needs a powerful, drastic purgative pill has been exploded; for Dr. King's .New Life Pill9, which are perfectly harmless, gently stimulate liver and bowels to expel poisonous matter, cleanse the system and absolutely cure Constipation and Sick Headache.

Some people carry their superstitions to ridiculous extremes. A fus- ] ey little man crowded into the elevator car on the ground floor of the Real Estate Trust building and hastily ran his eye over the other passengers. He was counting them, ? J - I J ? "sof ana 11y li^uvcu a oigu ui ou when he found that there were twelve. " The elevator man was just about to close the door when another man, who seemed in a great hurry, crowed in. The fussy little fellow who bad been counting noses cried out: "Wait a minute! Let me off?" He squeezed his way out, and the car started upward. "He makes me tired," remarked the elevator man. "I've seen him do that more than once. He's afraid gf something will happen if there are thirteen passengers on at one time." Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup Cures A Cough or Cold at once.

The French "dot"' comes probably from the small coin which the Roman bride brought with her tc her husband's house. The modern scramble for the bride's bouquet comes from a similar scramble that took place at the close of the ancient ceremony, when the guests fought good naturedly over the white thorn torch that had been borne in the bridal procession. The most marked difference between old and new ideas lies in the fact that a part of June was forbidden the Romans as a time for weddings. From the 1st to the 15th the month was sacred *o Vesta, and Ji(J mill i niiv; pciiuittLUj cn though Vesta herself was the goddess of domesticity. May, too, was prohibited, an(| this is thought to be the reason why May marriages still are considered unlucky. Ko: man belief and customs forbade the ceremony also from the 13th to the 24th of February, from the 1st to the 6th of March, on the 24th of August, the 5th of October and the 6th of November, three days when hades was supposed to be particularly wide open.

The Christmas card dates back to 18-f2, in which year the idea of such a device occurred to Sir Henry Cole, who employed the famous artist, J. C. Horsley, to make the design for him. Sir Henry gave his idea and design to a London puDiisner, wno printed and sold about a thousand cards. They were lithographed and then colored by hand. Such was the small beginning of what is now an immense business. Every Christmas cards were put on the market, but they did not seem to be popular until 1SG2, when they came suddenly into favor in England and soon %/ o began to be used to a considerable extent on this side of the water. It was some years, however, before the Christmas card achieved in the United States the great popularity which it now enjovs. The first Christmas cards were simple affairs, those of the earlv sixties being mostly plain cards bearing the words "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Xcw Year" only They soon be gan to grow in ornateness, however, and finally arrived at their present 6late. j [ It Girdles The Globe.

To the average resident of the temperate zones an earthquake is a 1 rare and terrible event, creating ! more consternation than any other visitation of nature.
