A STINGY YOUNG MAN.

Everybody In the Restaurant Agreed on
 That and Doubled the Walters Tips
 A tall, cadaverous looking young man, accompanied by a pretty young woman, entered an uptown French res taurant several nights ago and ordered dinner. The waiter was an exception ally energetic and obliging fellow. He hustled around to make them comfort able, and knew just how and when to serve the various courses to make the meal taste good
 The young man wore eyeglasses and had supcrcilious curl to his upper lip He was evidently posing as a very wise young man, as the young woman was pouring stream of earnest words into his ear in a tone of voice almost reduced to whisper. Occasionally she would stop talking long enough to ask the waiter to change a course when 1t didn't exactly suit The waiter had three other tables to look after, but the young man and the young woman usurped his entire attention.
 When the two had drunk their coffee the young man called for Q check. The young woman wanted to pay it, and the young man acted as If he would like to have her. But he had enough manli- ness left not to allow it The waiter brought the change on 0 silver service, which he sat down with a smile and a bow. Several sitting near by had been watching the couple, and it was plain to be seen by the expression on their faces that they were wondering how the young man would treat the waiter. He didn't look like an exceptionally generous young man.
 The y 1ung man glanced at the change

In Ancient Times It Was Prescribed as 2
 Medicine.
 There is no evidence in the writing, of the ancient world that the sugai cane was known to the west of Europe before the oriental conquests of Alex ander the Great The Hebrew word translated calamus, or sweet cane, is supposed by some to have been used t, designate the sugar-cane Strabo say that Nearchus found 1t in East Indies B. c. S35, and brought some back t. Europe to be used as medicine Sugar is mentioned by Theo phraptus as . product of the fa, east. Varro, B. c. 6s, describes thu method of its manufacture, and littl. later Dioscorides mentioned it as .s kind of honey pressed from reeds" an( very beneficial in cases of indigestion and of diseases of the eye. Galei prescribed it as medicine. Pliny ant Arrian both mention it as an article oi commerce, though rare and high priced lillian and Tertullian both allude to i. as a "honey procured from reeds" h was not until the sixteenth century that it became common in the European markets, honey being it's most con venient substitute in dainties. al Gro

ANCIENT LETTER POSTS.
Mails Made Five Miles an Hour, Highway
 men Permitting.

Ma1I9 Ma0e tlVe M1IeS an Hour, Highway
 men Permitting.
 Perhaps a little chat about the me th- ods and difficulties of conveying letters in bygone days may help you to realize and appreciate the advantages of the present We will not go farther back than the latter part of the seventeenth century-about 200 years ago. And we will imagine ourselves in England.
 There were no steamboats and steam cars to carry travellers to near or dis tant parts of the country at that time And as people stayed at home so gem erally, there was not nearly so much letter-writing as now. We go on ire quent journeys, and want to let our dear ones know where we are, what we are doing, and how we are faring. Be- sides, there were not many post offices outside of the cities and large towns, and it was only to important places in the vicinity of London that the mail was sent as often as once n day, and towns at some distance had their let ters and newspapers but once a week. To remote country places, villages, gentlemen's country residences and farms, especially during the winter, when the public and private roads were very bad, the mails were very uncer- tain, being often a fortnight and some times an entire month apart
 At that time the bags containing the letters were carried by horsemen, the mail-carrier jogging along by night and day at the rate of about five miles an hour in good weather, and in sum- mer time; for the highways were usually in very bad condition, so that fast riding was not possible. The postman often ran the risk of being stopped and plundered by mounted highwaymen, at that time a terror to travellers by horseback or coach. They seemed to be on a sharp lookout for any valuables in money, paper or otherwise that might be sent in the post-bags They rode the fastest and finest horses, were bold and daring, and when the postman found himself in a lonely road or crossing dark moor late at night, you may be sure he urged his weary horse forward and joy fully welcomed the first ray of light that shone from the lantern swinging to the sign of the roadside inn.
 Hounslow heath, Finchley common and Gadshill in the neighborhood of London were celebrated haunts of the nlBnWhy man, ana the Secluueu roads OI Epping forest on the route to Cam bridge were often the scenes of plum der in broad daylight These despe- rate robbers at last became so danger. ous and the peril of their attacks so se- rious to travellers of all kinds, as well as to the postmen, that the government passed a law making highway robbery an offense punishable by the death of Al Al L1 | his property. But robberies still oc- cured.
 In 17s3 mail coaches protected by armed guards took the place of post boys. The coaches carried passengers, also. and, as these generally carried arms, the mails were better protected; but still daring and oftentimes success full attacks were made upon them. Nicholas
