This is a transcript of an article printed in Scribners Magazine 130 years ago. It is quite interesting reading, hmmm...., I wonder what has changed. I thought this article would be nice reading for Christmas. Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year to you all!

Glad you enjoyed them. I get stuff like that from old magazines and newspapers that I buy from antique dealers and on auctions.
