THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR- THURSDAY, OCT. lfl, 1011.
TRAVEL IN THE OLD DAYS.
Perils of the “King’s Messengers" Be
foro the Era of Steam.
Lives of adventure were lived by
the king’s messengers before steam
made easier travel between London
and continental centers. Says a
writer: “Sir Edward Ilorstlet,
whose grandfather was a foreign
service messenger in the days of
George 11, relates in his ‘Recollec
tions of the Old Foreign Office’that
when he first entered the foreign
office in 18-10 hi; used to see the
messengers’ carriages standing
with four horses attached, at tlm
office door, ready to convey the mes
sengers in uniform to Dover, the
railway not having then been com
pleted. Before the days of rail
ways the king’s messengers trav
eled (‘ither on horseback or in their
own carriages, but it frequently
happened that owing to the badness
of the roads, which were often mere
tracks, they had to he conveyed in
the small carts of the country, oxen
tying employed where they could
d#> tbo work better than horses and
peasants provided with lanterns be
ing procured to lend assistance
when the roads were obliterated by
heavy falls of snow or by floods and
mud. In those days the king’s mes
sengers not infrequently faced and
suffered death in their devotion to
duty
“To cross from Dover to Calais in
an open boat when no packet cap
tain could tv induced to risk the
passage in face of the wild seas was
a not uncommon achievement of
king’s messengers in the time of
George IV., ns much as £25 ($125)
being sometimes paid to boatmen
brave and daring enough to make
the journey. Often on reaching
Calais the boats were dashed to
pieces, and the fitness or unfitness
of the frail craft for the hazard
ous undertaking may he judged by
the amounts paid bv the govern
ment in compensation for the lose
of a boat, one claim la .ug n mon
than $lB5. Then, in addition to
such risks and dangers, there would
he sufferings from the fatigue and
exhaustion from prolonged travel
ing. Later on Louis Herstlet was
for over four consecutive months
making the journey from St. Pe
tersburg to London, being in bis
saddle for tifty-two days on and off.
“On the occasion above referred
to the large quantities of ice afloat
delayed the king’s messenger at
Cuxhnven for four weeks, which,
with the seven days taken in cross
ing, made a total of thirty-five days
ill getting from the continent to
Great Yarmouth. A continuous
journey of twenty-three days and
nights, with its attendant fatigue
and accidents, resulted in the death
of a king’s messenger named Brown
upon his arrival in St. Petersburg
in 1820, and three years later an
other succumbed to the hardships
of a severe winter in Russia. In an
other ease the fatigue of a journey
of thirteen days and nights induced
a fatal attack of Asiatic cholera.’*- -

An Egyptian Hair Rs.torer.
Perhaps the most ancient mod
ical prescription in existence is on ■
that, was deciphered hv an English
authority on a papyrus taken from
an Egyptian tomb. It bears evi
dence that it was intended not
some bald male Egyptian, but so:
the mother of u king of the fir-:
dynasty, who must have reigned
about MOO B. C. The proscription
is as follows:
Parts*
Dos s paws (the cations* ri portion) 1
Dates l
Donkeys*’ hoofs 1
Boil the whole in oil and rub th<-
scalp actively with the mixture.
History does not record whether
this hair restorer proved efficacious
enough to enable the queen to re
gain her lost tresses.
Jeweler®’ Dummy Clocks.
The Jewelers’ Circular Weekly
explains why the dummy clocks in
front iff jewelry stores all point L
either the hour of 8: IS or M: 42
Through a storv born of a \i\ 1 im
agination it had long been accepted
by many that all these clocks in
dicatc the hour of S:2O. the time it
was said Abraham Lincoln w-is i
sassinntod'. Thi.-; is wrong, savs the
trade organ. The clocks show one
of the two hours mentioned be
cause both are equidistant from the
figure 12, thus dividing the dual int
three parts, leaving a place f v r tin*
jeweler’s name aud another for the
second hand.
Gave Her the Sentence.
The teacher in a I ondon school,
after having taken great trouble to
explain the difference in the mean
ings of tile words “dream’’ and “rev
eric.’’ addressed the class. “Nov
could any of you give me n sentence
with the word ‘reverie’ in it A
small youth put up his hand “You.
John!” she uttered in astonishment
“Well, what is it? *‘Plea<o. m«’\m.”
said the urchin, “the ‘reverb ’ 1
his whus’le and stopped the game.”
PECCARIES CAM FIGHT.
Panthers and Even Dig Bears Dare
Not Attack Them.
Home one tms called the poreu
.line tin h ggi-st self advertiser in
the woods.
It is perfectly true. A more
bumptious creature docs not exist
Whore other animals steal so silent
ly thronyii the jungle that not even
a rustle is heard nor the crack of a
fry twig the porcupine stamp
along, grunting as it goes and rat
tling its quilled tail as though it
owned the country.
Even in the depths of winter or
I’he desolation of a long drought it
- the rarest event for other ani
mals to attempt to kill and eat the
■ ir-upine, and when they do they
seldom if ever succeed.
For the quills of the porcupine
are not only cxtromel} - hard and
sharp, hut they have the property
f comir away easily from the
hide of their owner. Being slightly
barbed, they Work deep into the
tlosh of the animal that has been
e >olisli enough to attack the porcu
pine, and a well known sportsman
an instance of a liyn paying
irh its life for its foolishness in
•the king a pordupine. One of the
worked into the brain and
killed it.
There is nnnther case of a lioness
msing her eyesight in similar fash
on and several of leopards and
panthers being killed by cruelly
sharp quills.
The small wild pig of Central
America, which is known ns the pec
cary, cares as little for enemies big
r than himself as does the porcu
pine. No panther, nor even the
huge brown or cinnamon bear, dares
attack the peccary.
Tim peccary relies not on quills,
hut on the power of co-operation.
If one member of a drove is at
tacked the rest, instantly combine
md go for the attacker. It does
not matter if a dozen are killed.
The pack never lets go until their
enemy is pulled down and reduced
to shreds no larger than a knuckle
bone.
Yet old trappers say that n man
may sit down close by a feeding
pack of peccaries and watch them
all dav. They will never meddle
with him so long as he does not
touch them.—Pearson’s Weekly.
Didn't Need It.
It was the anniversary of his
voung son’s birthday, and the proud
father, who felt that he ought to
give the lad something, stepped
into a bookseller’s shop.
“What kind of book would you
like, sir?” asked the salesman, to
whom the other had confided his
purpose.
“Something that would be useful
and educative,” answered the
father, forgetting that ho always
detested such books in his own boy
hood.
“Well, here is a very excellent
one on ‘Self Help.’”
“Self help!” exclaimed the fa
ther. “Bon don’t need anything of
that kind. You ought to see him at
the dinner table!”
Antiquity of Masks.
Masks are of very ancient origin.
In a tomb 3,000 years old at My
cenae Dr Schliemann found two
bodies with faces covered bv
masks of gold. One of the masks
represented the head of a lion.
' Among ancient Greeks the lion
| mask was a sign of distinction.
, With the Peruvians of old it was a
i mark of royal lineage. In a grave
of considerable antiquity in Peru a
silver mask was found on the head
;of a mummy. Tin* mummy of a
prince who lived in the reign of
Raineses II , discovered in a small
vault at Memphis, in Egypt, had a
mask of gold leaf over the face.
A German Gretna Green.
Wluit Gretna Green was to Eng
\ land in the good old days Helgo
land was to the continent. It must
have been an inconvenient place to
reach when time was of importance,
but until the German marriage
laws of 1000 came into operation
the pastor held a lucrative position.
The custom of Helgoland had sim
plicitv to recommend it. All the
pastor required was a declaration
signed by a magistrate to the effect
that the parties were not prospec
tive bigamists. When this affidavit
was presented the pastor at once
j joined tbs applicants in matrimony.
Wholly Innocent.
The story is told by a traveling
! man of a prettj young lady who
stepped into a music store in a cer
tain t n the other day She trip
! ped up to the counter where a new
1 clerk wa« m>~ rting music and in the
suvetest tones asked. “Have yon

The clerk turned halfway around
