The Grecian hemerodromes, or foot
couriers, could make 800 stadis (about
seveuty-fve English miles day, at a
salary that would not hire San Fran
cisco messenger boy. In stress of cir
cumstances first class runners could
manage to double that speed, but had
the advantage of excellent roads, bor-
dered by forests or rows of shade trees,
while the zagal, or poetboy, of Spanish
mail-coach has to keep up with team OF
fast horses whirling the crazy old clat-
terbox through series of sufocating
dust clouds. Our sprinters generally
couine themselves to short distance
races, but I have often wondered why
the managers of our go-as-you-please
matches of three or four days have never
tried to "spring cinch," as turfmen
call it by importing trotting peon from
Southern Mexico. Near Puebla, Oaxaca
and Acapulco gangs of hucksters can be
seen coming along the sand roads at a
steady trot, carrying bushel bags of vege-
tables, often grown at distance. of ten

North America can claim the cham

Yorkshire and Switzerland second, but
our most tolerant American cities would
be apt to enforce the brutal sport limits
against such wrestlers as the Athlete
Milo, who had trick of dislocating the
spine of stubborn antagonists, in which
way he killed 80 many OF bis rivals that
at last nobody vcntured to accept his
challenges. That formidable brulser
(another citizen of sport-loving Crotona)
is said to have played at tug-of-war with
able.bodied horses and to have crushed
pebbles in bis clinchcd fists, but his
steer carrying exploit is rendered less in
credible by the feats of DR.. Winship, a
Boston physician OF slender physique,
who by dint OF constant practice ut least

It is now admitted that the inherent

exactly of the same tint as solution OF
Prussian blue. This is corroborated by
the fact that the purer water is IN nature

Strange GautemaIan Indians.

Chandler remarked, ''almost all the
freight IS carried on the backs of In

about 200 pounds, and days journey
for one of these natives thus loaded
about twelve leagues or thirty-six miles.
The strange thing about it is that on the
return journey, if the porter cannot get
load to carry back, he fills his pack or
sling with stones. This is to keep his
balance, for, having become used to a
forward leaning position under his usual
load, he cannot make such rapid progress
without some burden. Furthermore, 80

containing $1,000 in silver can be sent
with absolute security on the backs of

nose of wax badly pinched upwards,
especially to the disadvantage of the
under mandible." The chief differ
ence is that in the chick the upper
mandible is bent more abruptly towards
the point, which, on account of the knob
for breaking the egg shell still remain
ing, presents a truncate profile. The
characteristic notch behind the tip is
present. The nostrils are pervious. The
color of the bill is horny browish gray,
more dusky towards the tip; corner of
mouth in the fresh bird probably
whitish.
The color of the downy plumage
above is of dark smoky gray; darker,
nearly blackish on the head and sides Of
neck; chin, throat and foreneck of the
same general color, scarcely paler; rest
of the under surface light ashy gray, with
very slight if any fuligiuous tinge, in
strong contrast to the dark line of the
upper parts and the neck, the darker line
being very sharply defined.
The collectors label indicates the color
of the feet as "bluish, very light between
the toes, under side black" The iris is
"dsrk gray"
Two other specimens agree very
closely with the one described, except
that in one the sides of the neck are con-
siderably darker in the middle. The bills
are scarcely shorter, but the tip even
more abruptly truncate.
