The Tunisian Posts.

The postal courier service OF Tmis
which ran between the years 1855 and
1876 IL described In the "Reyue Tuni-
slenne' by Mr.. Marcel Gandolphe. The
service covered the distance between
Tunis and Susa mp to 1868, and then 1t
was extended to Sfax. The distance
between TunIs and Susa--a dangerous
journey over not too easy count~y--
was performed in "a hours and at one
stretch. Only once WAS the Tunis
courier behind his time. by L. hours,
and that was the result Of hair-raising
adventure. In 1864 times were GER
talnly not good for eouriers and way
laying on the road was not uncommon.
At that period there were only two
running out Of the three Mohammeds,
who for many years had shared the
duty. Boutefeu, Becassine and lie
Chameau were names bestowed upon
them, the first because OF his vivacity
the second because of his svelte APP

stature. The story of these dauntless
three of the Tunisian postal service
In the light Of the latest aerial postal
innovations is Of almost prehistoric
flavor.

lRkSClBLE MEN Of GENIUS
William Morris ana Charles Reads
Notsbls for Their Explosive Tenn
Psrs ana Kindly Hearts.

In some recent "reminiscences Mr.
Henry g. Barnwell says that the two
literary men Of his acquaintance who
possessed the greatest capacity for in
dignation We're William Morris and
Charles Reade. Morris was perhaps
the mere explosive; but his tempera.
mental outbursts were soon over and
had rarely any sequel. The violence
of Charles Reade, though frequently
IT,. too, passed like summer tempest,
was sometimes the precursor OF a
prolonged literary or legal battle; for
he had passion for litigation.
Assassination Is too good for him;
the miscreant ought to be boiled i'm
oil" Mr. Barnwel once heard Morris
roaring rs he came into his presence.
Inquiry brought ont the fact that the
yillainy for which such punishment
was deemed suitable was the crime OF
placing the pockets OF new suit in
their conventional position instead of
arranging them In a novel and inter-
esting manner, suggested by Morris.
But the unimaginative tailor was not
boiled; moreover, when, shortly af-
terward, he fell into difficulties It was
Morris who advanced him money
enough to set him on his feet again.
Possibly Reade, who also was a gen.
erous-hearted man, might at need have
shown equal magnanimity toward
cobbler who aroused his ire. The man
had been recommended by his friend.
Wilkie Collins, and the next time the
two novelists met Reade lifted his
voice from afar.
"Confound You" he shouted iras-
chilly. '"rhat eobbler you sent to me

Wilkle Collins. laughing, attempted
some defense OF his protege; but
Reade would not listen. Lifting his
hands to heaven like an Oriental call
Ing down the vengeance OF the gods,
he declared impressiyely, in true east
ern style:

cobblcr he blistered. and may his
Joints he cramped! May bunions Wis

Then, satisfied with the achievement
of an impromptu curse at once harm
less and horrifying. he accepted Col
Inns invitation to luncheon, and the
two walked amicably away together.

Bird HUNTERS' CLEVER TRICK

Ia Bassa, TO be exact, where the pho
tograph from which the picture is
drawn was snapped. And the person
who was caught in the very act of en-
tieing bird belongs to the tribe which
goes by the name Of Munshl.
Industrious and very good tlllers Of
the soil as they are. the Munshis are
said to be quarrelsome and great
lovers of alcohol, which they sometimes
contrive to smuggle in and to drink
with vast speed. II may be, indeed,
that this Munshl hoped TO catch his
bird for the drink it would bring. At
any rate, he was most serious as he
went about his hlrd-acting.

the hunter held the artificial birds

more like a strange caricaturc OF an
ostrich than anything else. To bird
eyes perhaps he appeared like scene
from the surrounding country-that is,
q bird teeterlng on coal-hlack branch,

II seems odd that so simple All ex-

true that the hunters sometimes return

come back laden with the birds they
set forth TO get. In this country and
in these days, when hunters sometimes
seem almost as numerous as the hunt

to appear like the quarry, for bullet

But in Nigeria the method is a success,
although II requires much practice TO
initiate q bird well enough to deceive
the birds themselves.

Scouts Keen the Law.

Every now and then some Judge or
Juvenile court worker bears testi-
mony that scouting keeps boys out of
mischief, that scouts keep the law and
are good citizens in embryo. Recently
U. II. Harmon. an attorney OF Tacoma,
Wash, made the following statement:
"0f all the boys passing through the
juvenile court in the last year, not one
was an active scout" There are 700
boys affiliated with the Tacoma coun-
ell, ST. this statement really means
something. Not one boy who came up
a. case before the court was an ac-
tive scout, and upon investigation II
was shown that in only two eases were
the offenders boys who had had any
connection whatever ut any time with
scoutlng.-James r. West, in Boys
