STANLEY AS A FIGHTER.
Hfs Revingo on tho Africans For At
tacking His Forces.
In tho following language Sir Henry
M. Stanley describes nn attack of na
tives upon his party during one of hli
African expeditions: "The fovititliiui
bears down on us with racing tweed
Us consorts on cither Hank spuitliiji
tho wnter Into foiun nnd shooting t:
Jets with their shnrp prows. A thrill
lng chant from 'O00 throats rw
louder nnd louder on our hearing
Presently the poised spears art
inuncncu, ami n second laicr my riuo
respond with a ripping, i mrUIIng :;
plosion, nnd tho dark bodies of the cn
noes nnd paddlcrs rush past us.
"For n short time tho savages aiv
parnlyzeVl, but they soon recover. The
una tliero Is death In thoso llamititf
tubes in tho hands of tho strnugcr
and with possibly greater energy tha
they advanced they retreat, tho pur
sued becoming tho pursuers In hot
chnso. My blood is up. It is a mm
derous world, nnd I hnvo begun to
hnto tho lllthy, vulturous shonls wh
Inhabit It.
"I pursue them upstream, up to tliel
villages. I skirmish In their street
drlvu them pellmoll Into tho woods be
yond nnd level their Ivory temples
With frr.ntlc liasto I Ilro their hut
nnd end tho sccno by towing their en
noes Into midstream nnd setting them
ndrift."

RAVENOUS EATERS.
Gluttony of Soliman and the Appetit
of Louis XIV.
Touching tho matter of entlng, the
stories told by tho old chroniclers and
historians of tho abuorraal appetites of
certain Roman and drlcntnl men of
note fairly stagger belief.
Gibbon tells of Soliman, a caliph In
tho eighth century, who died of acute
indigestion in his camp near Chalcl
in Syria, just as ho was about to lead
an army of Arabs against Constantino
ple. Ho hnd emptied two baskets of
eggs and flgs, which ho swallowed
alternately, and tho repast was finish
cd with marrow nnd sugar. In a pll
grlmago to Mecca tho samo caliph had
oaten with Impunity at a single meal
seventy pomegranates, a kid, six fowl
and a hugo quantity of tho grapes of
Tnyof.
Such a statement would defy belief
were- not othors of u similar character
well avouched. Louis XIV. could hard
ly boast of an appetite as ravenous a
Sollmau's, but ho would cnt nt n sit
ting four plntcfuls of different soups,
wholo pheasant, n partridge, a plate
ful of salad, mutton hashed with gar
He, two good sized slices of ham. "i
dish of pastry and finish this nmplc
repast with fruit and sweetmeats.

Victorian Gods.
If Thackeray, with a brain weighing
fifty-eight and one-half ounces, had
tho biggest head among Victorian writ
ers who had tho best features? The
cholco would seem to Ho between Ton
nyson nnd Henry Taylor. "That man
must bo a poet," remarked one of hi
Cambrldgo contemporaries when he
first saw Tennyson como Into tho hnll
nt Trinity, nnd another friend do
scribes him In his uudergrnduato day
as six feet high, broad chested, strong
limbed, his faco Shakespearean, with
deep eyelids; his forehead ample,
crowned with dark wavy hair: his
head finely poised, his hand tho ndml
ration of sculptors. But tlmo denll
none too gently with Tennyson, where
as Ucnry Taylor, always a dlstln
gulshed looking man, seems to have
grown singularly majestic with years
Grant Duff, meeting him when ho wn
over eighty, notes that "Taylor look
moro Hko Jupiter than over," and con
temporary memoirs aro full of refer
ences to nis Jove-Uko appcaraucoi
London Standard.
"A

Mnzziul said that ho did not bellov

appear .as tho result of apparently nc-
ciuenini circumstances. An Alexander

suits of accident, but the Jnovltnhl
product of tho tlmo and nation from
which tnoy spring. It wan not Cnes:

Tho republic was dead boforo Cnesni

gifted with keener luslcht ami m-enim

ana concentrated it In his own hands
For there was no doubt that ho was
Utter to rulo than all tho nthoi-x nut

even Caesar's death, could not restore
that."

It IS' still a tradition that tho peoplo
of Manchester, England, should gibe
at Liverpool with tho proverb, M
Manchester man. a LIvcrnool contlo
man;" but, It Is said, classification is
not so, strongly marked in Lancashire
as in tho old days. Whou stagecoach

ed, "Who has tha gotten Inside,
