Where Strong Men Lived.

After the Spanish occupation Of the
Grand Canary certain enormous stone
was for long time pointed out as one
of the instruments of the Gaunehe
athletic courses. The natives had been
able to lift it, set it on their shoulders
and even throw it over their heads
Their degenerate posterity and the
Spaniards could not raise it from the
ground.
1t was reckoned nothing out of the
common for a man to take an unteth-
cred OK by the horn with one hand and
slay it with the other. A certain native
born priest of Grand Canary in the Sew
enteenth century showed that he in
herited some of his ancestors vigor, for
one day, hearing that an enraged bull
had broken loose and was in the street,
he ran out and grasping it by the leg
threw it down, and so held it until its
owner was able to secure 1t.
This doughty son of the church before
his death CHANGED to have one of his
legs amputated for q cancer. 1t was
then found that his thigh bone was
solid, with no trace Of marrow. 1t must
be confessed, however, that the relics of
the Canarians now found in their bury
ing places do not bear out the inference
that this was a national characteristic,
though their dimensions are certainly a
testimony of the strength and size of
their late proprietors.-National Review.

When seward Was Governor.

One of the best stories William H.
Seward used to tell was of a reception
he had while governor of the state. He
gave it in honor of Millard Fillmore. A
great many people knew neither Seward
nor Fillmore by sight. Fillmore was a
splendid specimen of sturdy manhood,
nearly six feet in height. He stood at
Stewards left, and the difference be-
tween the men was striking. Of the
throng that passed by those who were
not acquainted with either Seward or
Fillmore saluted Fillmore as governor,
and he turned to Seward and said,
why do so many people mistake and
call me governor"
''Ah," said Seward, ''it is because in
the popular mind there is an instructive
feeling that a great Office should be
filled by man who is physically great,
as you are, Fillmore. When people see
me they think some mistake has been
made, and that in some way or other a
boy has been chosen governor. New

and ought not to be neglected by any
voter.

marking ballots and voting, according
to the provisions of the election laws of
