DRAWS VIVID PICTURE
PRE-VICTORIAN DAYS
CLOAN, Perthshire, Scotland, May
14.—(/P)—Fresh and vivid memories
of events and customs of almost a
century ago were given recently,
through interview and pen by Mrs.
Robert Haldane, -mother of Lord
Haldane, as part of the celebration
of her 100th birthday.
Her memories include the first lo
comotive, that chugging creation of
Stevenson’s built the year she was
born; the first balloon, and the black
and white gingham that she and the
other well-born little girls wore in
mourning for King George IV when
he died in 1830.
Childhood in those days must
have been a more rigirous experi
ence than now. Mrs. Haldahe and
the other children were taken from
their cribs about 7 a.m. “and plung
ed overhead by two nurses in a
bath of cold water.”
“Lessons,” she reoalled, “were car
ried on vigorously with a governess,
and I learned to read at three years
of age. The multiplication table
and French verbs were repeated
while holding a black-board, and with
our feet in the stocks, which were
specially made by the joiner.
“In the year 1832 cholera visited
me Iinush Isles. We children were
given port wine and ale to strength
en our systems against attack, reme
dies to which we did not object. In
those days children were always
given a mug of ale at dinner-time.
“The first locomotive,” Mrs. Hald
ane continued, “was a curious grass
hopper-looking machine that made
a tremendous noise, and if our pon
ies came anywhere near it they at
once made off in terror. We drove
with out motiher to watch the first
balloon ascend, and were greatly ex
cited over the event. I was much im
pressed also by seeing the treadmill
of the Newcastle prison, a barbar
ous form of punishment.”
In 1839, when she was seriously
ill, the country doctor came dressed
in a bright green frock coat with
brass buttons and wore corduroy
riding breeches and boots. His med
ical treatment “was limited to bleed
ing.”
“On looking bapk I realize how
wonderful the changes have been
since my birth, when it was almost
impossible for a poor man to make
his way in the world, and even for
one of moderate means to occupy
any position of importance. There
were barriers teverywhere, and the
intluence of the great was required
to place children 4n any good posi
tion. Young as I was I was im
pressed by the overbearing manner
of the higher classes, so-called, and
the unnecessary display of wealth
md power. Only three professions
were considered fit for a gentleman,
the church, bar, and army or navy.
The condition of the working classes
n the center and south of England
was deplorable.”
Fire Chief Lanning has been doing
jome much needed burning over
grassy areas in the northern part of
