Ailov, Ga. 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.’*- - Chicago News. 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 ‘Kissed Me In the Moonlight?’” The clerk turned halfway around aid answered. “It must have beet: > the man at the other counter: I’ve been her" only a week.”—Buffalo I t oumierv «al.
