\ Famous Kunnsr.

Fifty years ago his TenOwn spread all
over Europe. This was Ernest Mensen.
His exploits make the pedestrian feats
of the present day look insignificant.
He was a runner who first came into
notice by running from Paris to Mos
cow, distance of !, 700 miles, in thlr-
teen days and eighteen hours. In 1886
he ran through Central Asia from Cal
entta to COnstantinOple, bearing dis
patches for the East India company
The distance Is 5,6l5 miles. and he ac-
complished it in fifty-nine days, one
third of the time taken by the swiftest
caravan.
\ favorite employment for him was
the messenger extraordinary Of sover-
eigns. He ran from country 10 country
bearing letters and dispatches of the
highest import, and always beat noun
ted couTiers when matched against
them. He never walked, but always
ran. Invariably he took the direct
route to his destination, climbing noun
tains, swimming rivers and guiding him
self through forests in way known only
TO himself. His food was a small guam
tity of biscuit and raspberry syrup. His
rests he took twice in twenty-four hours,
when he usually leaned against some
support, covered his face with
a handkerchief and slept, If he
was compelled to remain quiet
any length of time he complained Of
giddiness and rush of blood to the head
In 1912 he was employed to discover
the source OF the Nile. Starting from
Silesia in May, 1S43. he ran to Jerusa-
lem, thence to Cairo, and up the banks
OF the Nile into Egypt. Just outside
the village of Lyang he was seen to
stop and rest, leaning against palm
tree, his face covered as was his wont.
He rested so long that some person
tried to wake HIM. They tried in vain
for he was dead.

Death or An Eminent CoIonIst-

Queensland, is at present rejoicing
over the death of an eminent colonist.
For some time past the country has been
terrorized by bushranger named Riley,
who, ON small scale, tried to emulate
the exploits of the Kelley gang, the
members of which some five years ago
ended their career in New South Wales
He "stuck up" stations. ''went
through gold diggers, and in June last
robbed, of all places in the world, a
fourishlDg hotel on the Cape River. But,
as usually happens, the pitcher went too
often to the fountain. In other words,
the bushranger, happening to meet a
police constable to whom he was known,
attempted TO stab him, but not succeed
ing in committing murder, was prompt
ly shot in his efforts to escape. When
the Kelly gang were annihilated in 1880,
there were pleasant prophecies to the
effect that bushranging would from
that time disappear. No doubt this
plague of wild country is so rapidly
decreasing in Australia that it no long
er troubles the settlers, save in tie more
out-of the-way parts of the colonies.
But until every section of the babItabe
portion of the antipodes is settled, We
may expect to hear OF highwayman or
a footpad making free with other men 5
property, just as robbers of this descrip-
tion haunted the English roads up to
the eraof railways In the more lonely
districts of western America the ''road
agent" is still one OF the contingencies
of travel, and, indeed, only recently, a
party Of excursionists over such a WELL
known route as that of the Yosemite
Valley In California, were relieved of
some Of their property by one ef these
picturesque individuals.

How TO Eat rssery.

As a universal rule in health, and,
with very rare exceptions in disease,
that is best to be eaten which the ap-
petite Graves OF the taste relisheS- Per-
sons rarely err in the quality of food
eaten; natures instincts are the wisest
regulators in this respect. The great
sources of mischief from eating are
three, quantity, frequency, rapidity;
and from these come the horrible dys-
pepsias which make of human life a
burden, u torture, a living death.
By eating fast, the stomach, like a
bottle being filed through funnel, is
full and OverfiOwing before We know It
But the most important reason is, the
food is swallowed before time has been
allowed to divide it in sufficiently small
pieces with the teeth; for like ice in a
tumbler of water, the smaller the bits
are the sooner are they dissolved. 1t
has been seen witt the naked eye, that
il solid food IS cut up into pieces small
as half a pea, it digests almost as soon,
without being chewej at all, as If it
had been well masticated. The best
plan, therefore, Is for all persons to
thus commute their food; for even if
it is well chewed, the communion IS
no injury, while it Is of very great i'm
portance in case of hurry, forgetfulness
OF bad teeth. Cheerful conversation
prevents rapid eating.
1t requires about five hours for a
common meal to dissolve and pass out
of the stomach, during which time this
organ is necessarily at work, when il
must have repose, as any other muscle
or set of muscles after such length OF
effort. Hence persons should not eat
within less than five hours interval.
The heart itself is at rest more than
one-third of its time. The brain per-
ishes without repose. Never force food
on the stomach.
All are tired when night comes.
Every muscle of the body is weary and
looks to the bed; but just as We lie
down to rest every other part OF the
body, if We by hearty meal give the
stomach five hours work. which In its
weak state requires much longer time
to perform than at an earlier hour OF
the day, it is like imposing on servant
a full days labor just at the close of a
hard days work. Hence the u-.wis-
ON of eating heartily late ill the day
or evening; and no wonder it has cost
many a man his life. Always break
fast before work or exercise.
No laborers or sactive persons should
eat an atom later than sundOwn, and
then it should not be over half the mid
day meal. Persons of sedentary habitr
or who are at all ailing should take alb
solutely nothing for supper b yond a
single cup of warm drink. Sucha sup
per will always give better sleep and
prepare for heartier breakfast, with
the advantage of having the exercise OF
the whole day to grind it up and ex-
tract its nutriment. Never eat without
an inclination.

a Isig SwindIer.

A good-looking. middle-aged man,
whose slow step betokened feeblenesS
of health, entered a little shop
down town and purchased a wicker
basket for SIPS. He took out roll of
bills looked them over, and then said:
''I find / have nothing smaller than
SO bill. If you will send your boy
to my Office with 1872 in change,
will give him S. bill In payment. :"
The boy was sent out few minutes
after the man had gone, with the change
for the s. bill in his pocket. When he
reached the top of the stairs on the
floor of the building in which the man
said he had an Office, he was greeted by
the purchaser. who took the change.
MY boy, find haven't got a s.
bill said he" in a very benevolent way.
would you mind waiting here until |
60 down into the street and get this $40
bill broken"
The office boy was anxious about the
1915 which he had given the man. He
looked at the man sharply, as if to dis
cover his game, but he appeared to have
such an honest face that the boy de-
eided not to say anything about 1t, but
would keep his eye open all the same.
As soon as the mild-mannered man had
reached the street the boy followed,
but kept out of sight as much as possi-
Bile. He soon discovered that the man
with his money had recovered the act
i've use of his legs and was hurrying
down the street at surprising rate Of
speed. The boy hesitated no longer.
He ran swiftly down the street until he
came up behind the fugitive, and then
drawing back his fist delivered sud-
den blow at the mans backbone, which
had the effect of tipping him over upon
the sidewalk.
"Give me my 1915" said the boy,
thrusting his hand into the mans face.
The man pulled out the change,
gave it to the messenger, and then
without waiting to explain the matter
to policeman who came up, rushed
around the corner in great haste.
THAT man bas been playing that
little game for several months and has
made money by it," said business man
who saw the incident and heard the
boys story. boy, you are a plucky
fellow and Will make a first-clasS
policeman if you keep on"
mo flies on me-" he replied, as he
gave the merchant wink and threw
banana skin at stray dog.

Sht of the waipoles.

The Marquis of CholmOndely,
intends to avail himself of the Settled
Estates act, in order to sell his family
property in Norfolk, which comprises
upward of $4,000 acres Of the most
higly cultivated land IN the country.
The notwithstanding has always been
of the highest class, and there is first
rate pheasant-shooting. the estate be-
ing richly wooded, and the plantations
are well dispersed over the property.
Houghton Hall the historic seat OF
the Walpoles, will now pass into pos
session or the descendants of shrewd
Sir Robert, who built the splendid
house (second in Norfolk only to Holk-
ham) when he was Prime Minister. its
erection extending over thirteen years,
The mansion is very stately building
of stone, with colonnades, wings, and
cupolas. Sir Roberts famous collec-
tion of pictures was sold by his degen-
crate grandson in 1889 to the Empress
Catherine for e45,0 and they have
since been the main attraction of the
Hermitage Palace at st Petersburg.
There are good gardens, and the park,
though fat, is picturesqe. as it contains
much fine timber. Houghton is with
in an easy drive of Sandringham, a
circumstance which will add materially
to its attraction in the eyes OF many
possible buyers. The estate has been
SURVEYED during the last three weeks by
Sir J W. Ellis.

HUMuIATED COW sDfs.
he Lesson that was Taught them by Al
pnootrnsiye Tenderfoot.

II have seen good many daring
deeds performed and coarse jokes per-
petrated by cowboys said the agent.
''Onc morning d travelling man arrived
at the depot by stage. He had small
sample case and satehel. He was below
medium height and rather slight, but
he was very neatly dressed and wore
silk hat. He was travelling for New
York jewelry house. He was about an
hour early for the train east, and he
opened his grip on the platform, took
out brush, and busted his clothing and
his shoes. He then drew out an old
newspaper, leaned up aginst the side OF
the depot, with one foot projected IN
front of the other, and began reading.
Meanwhile three cowboys had saun-
tered up TO the depot They all eyed
HIM closely and watched his operation.
When he began reading they huddled
together and talked while in an un-
dertOne. Presently one of them-a big
six-footer-left the group and began To
saunter earelessly about the platform,
with his head in the air, inspecting the
posters on the building and the cOrnice.
When he got around where the travel
ing man stood, he lifted his big brogan
and planted it firmly on the jewelry
mans foot. No apology was made.
The travelling man merely looked up,
drew his foot back moment, then
placed 1t back where 1t was. The cow
boy passed back to tho other two. They
all chuckled and joined in the converse
ton.
''SOon the cowboy started out again
ON a similar round, gaping at the roof.
When he reached the travelling man he
tried to bring down his coarse boot on
the extended foot. The travelling man
jerked his foot back suddenly, and the
brogan came down with thump on the
platform. Another conference and
chueklng followed. Finally the cow
boy set out on the third round. Just
as he was about to raise his foot to
plant it on that of the travelling u.aii.
the latter looked up quickly and sand
'''See here, there is my foot and its
going to stay there. You step on il If
you want to; but l want to tell you that
before you can get Off of it | will kill
you.'
''Such volley staggered the cowboy.
He looked at the foot, and then at the
small posSeSsOr, aud finally moved off
without stepping on it. Another con
sultation followed.
The travelling man calmly read his
paper a few minutes, and then took
from his satchel three apples, he looked
at them moment and suddenly threw
them few feet into the air, and then
quickly drew a revolver, fired three
shots, splitting each apple into dozen
pieces before they reached the ground.
He replaced the cartridges in the empty
chambers of the revolver, and returned
it to his pocket.
THE cowboys witnessed the act with
out saying a word, and soon, complete
ly cowed, turned and left the depot
The travelling man told me after they
had left that he would have killed the
three of them had the fellow stepped on
his foot again, and think he would, as
he was quick as lightning. He then
showed me a medal he carried, which he
won as being the most rapid shot in
New York"
