Match for Those of Old—Some of the
■Wonderful 1'eats Performed l>V
tihints of the Present.
I have often heard it asserted, says a
tyHter in the New York Advertiser,
that tiie human raee was dejfeneratinp
in repard to personal strength and
activity; that the ancients were phys
ically stronger titan the men of mod
ern times. In searching throuph the
records of the athletes of ancient
Greece, etc., I have been enabled to
make some comparison between the
strong men of that time and those of
the present day, which, 1 think, shows
conclusively that the present genera
tion are far ahead of any authentic
ated record we can tind of the an
cient. The idea that the human race
as a whole is degenerating is a popular
delusion, founded on ignorance of the
plainest and most undeniable facts.
The idea that men arc Jailing off in
size is a mistaken one. There are
good grounds for doubting that any man
of former times ever performed a feat
of strength beyond the powers of the
strongest man of the present time, in
popular estimation Samson (the orig
inal one) remains the typical strong
man, and many will think it sac
rilege to doubt his claim to be tin'
strongest man that ever lived. Yet
what feat .is recorded of him that has
any undoubted definite value as a
measure of strength. lie killed a
young lion with his hands. 1‘oly-
damus also killed with his bare hands
a huge tierce lion, and so did Richard
CVenr de Leon, according to history.
Samson broke ropes of various
kinds. How strong were they? Hreak-
ing ropes and chains are indefinite
proofs of strength. He killed one
thousand men with the jawbone of an
ass. To fracture a man's skull with
such a weapon needs no very great
amount of strength, as several men
have killed a man with one blow of the
bare fist. If the one thousand men
were all opposed t i him at once they
must have been a sorry lot.
Another celebrated athlete who
flourished about .'•on It. C. was Milo, of
Crotona. a Greek town in the south of
Italy. In his case also we have noth
ing recorded by which we can formally
accurate idea of his strength. He was
victor six times at the Olympic games,
and among the things attributed to
him am the following: Rinding a cord
found his head, he could break it by
retaining his breath and swelling out
his veins; with his elbow resting on his
aide he defied anyoneto open his closed
ilst; standing on an oiled quoit he do
lled anyone to push him off it. The
last is sheer nonsense, the first two in
definite. Samson or Sandow of the pres
ent day can bind chains around their
arms, and by swelling their muscles
can burst the chains easily, which 1
consider a much harder thing to do
than breaking a cord that would be
child’s play for them. 1 have seen
Samson break a silver quarter in two
with his lingers. Let anyone try to
do it, and he will find out what an
enormous power it requires to bend or
break it.
Coming to more recent times, we find
Thomas Topman. an Knglishman who
Exhibited aliout 1710. He was about . r >
'feet 1»> inches in height and weighed in
the neighborhood of ■.'no pounds, and
was very strongly built. Topmau's
feats were feats of real strength, tind he
is the first performer that could bear
comparison with those of the presenl
day. Here are two of the best records
of real strength recorded of him: He
stood on a platform which had two
parallel bars at a convenient height on
his right and left, on w hich to place his
hands. Relow him on a lower platform
were three barrels of water, weighing
altogether about l.*'.'!'! pounds. These
being bound together, a chain from
them passed through the platform on
which Topman stood, and was attached
to a belt that passed over his neck and
shoulders; he then lifted the whole by
straightening his arms and legs, llis
qtl|er genuine record was lifting by
seizing with his hands a frame on
which rested a tone weighing sou
pounds.
It is my candid opinion < hut there, are
liicn living at the present time of
greater personal strength than any
Milo, Samson or Topman. We will
Mow place the following records against
Topmau's lift of 1.'sin pounds. In this
country some twenty years ago several
athletes gave their attention to devis
ing harness for lifting heavy weights,
with the following results: Hr. S. W.
Wlnship lifted •,’,ii(l0 pounds, John .1.
Lucas 7oo pounds, A. A. Kutts •7.7.'t7 I 4
pounds, and William R. Curtis, at pres
ent editor of the Spirit of the 'rimes.
U.'-XtO pounds l.tOl! pounds more than
Topmau's. There ».s no doubt but that
the apparatus of these athletes was
superior to that, used hy Topman. but
Donald Dinnie, the famous Scottish
athlete, with apparatus inferior to Top-
man's, in that lie had no supports for
his arms, with mere straps, lifted Loot
pounds. In isst Louis Cyr, a young
Canadian, standing under a plank,with
legs slightly Lent at the knees, hack
lient forward and his hands resting on
a stool, pushed up with his back, anna
and legs thcplank with pig iron resting
on it weighing i ^' pounds, and a
few years later the same athlete, using
the same metImd. raised'I,pounds.
In hand lifting there is less room for
improved apparatus, and here again the
modern strong men completely eclipsed
Topman. Hr. Winship lifted 1 ,',‘00
pounds, William R. Curtis IL.
Lousing l.tsi. Havid L. Dowd 1,11?'4
pounds, and .leff* r ..m. of Roston, lifted
with Ids hands alone I,.'i71 ! 4 pounds,
nearly double Topmau's best lift.
There are generally from half a doz
en touscore of athletes, each pi -•claim
ing himself the strongest man on 1 arth.
Here are some of them: SiiM'.sol;, K. I(
fiedy, Sandow. Cyclops. Ajax, At.tila;
the brothers < aii!'< n ••nd Hcrcith s and
tiOiils Cyr, who. in the writer's opinion,
la really the strongest man in the
World to-day.

A SLICK SIMPLETON.
Htirh Was Simple Mil.peri slips, n Sorry

Larly in our late civil war there wax
in the eastern army a man. or an indi
vidual, whom we ealle l Slippery Slips
— Private Slippery Slip’s, high private
in the rear rank, a quinine skirmisher,
a great friend of the surgeon and the
sutler. Well, Slippery was a tall,
lank, loan, lop-sided, stoop-shouldered,
long-legged, big-footed (he often put
his foot down and very often into it),
sharp-nosed (always nosing into ev
erything). long-eared, toot bless, keen-
sighted, short-haired, awkward gawk,
l»ut no fool by a great sight. He was
just the kind of a man that would
make a good Isthmus if he were
stretched across somewhere. Well,
this eccentric phenomenon enlisted
out of a sense of duty mingled with a
sense of patriotism, as well as a sense
of shame at the thought of being
lounging around home with the wom
en, when all other able-bodied men
were in the field, defending their
homes, firesides and liberty, lie was
hardly ever known to be without his
hands in his pockets ps-it> pockets—
unless he could not possibly-, for the
time being, spare them to put there.
Ilis father never could break' him of
the habit, though he had tried a thou
sand times and ways. Well, when out
on drill (before they received their
guns). Slippery would slip his hands,
one or both, owing to whether he
could spare both or not. into his pock
ets. and the captain would call out to
him in it stentorian voice: “Take your
hands out of your blasted pockets, you
awkward gawk, you!" slippery, jump
ing like he had been shot at and
missed, would slip th 111 out li ke an
obedient servant, and all would go
well and according to tactics for
awhile—till Slippery would forget
himself again, and in would go his
hand - again. “Hands out of pockets!”
tiie captain would command, much
louder than ever, and Nlq pery would
slip them out. though rather precipi
tately, but without any leelings of
animosity or animadversion toward
the captain.
At la.-t the captain could stand it no
longer, ami lie a.ddre l a few brief
remarks, though they were lucid, to
Slippery, as folho -.: “If you don’t
keep your hands out of your pockets
while on drill, without having to be

a broad laugh before he could speak —
for Slippery had a ain adjusted his
hands to tit his pockets by that time—
said, iis soon as he could cast aside suf
ficient levity to enable him to speak:
“How is yourappetite? What wasyottr
occupation before coming here? Let
me see your tongue. How are you oil
hereditary predispositions? Does your
esophagus need irrigating? How are
your corns? Gan you usually walk tin-
top rail, or rider, as it is called, of a
worm fence, with agility and a steady
gnit? Does anything hurt you had?
Do you have to scratch much? Do
your hands keep their places when
you are asleep?" and various other
questions, hut of m.udi less importance
than tiie foregoing, and after taking
in the situation, he told the patient to
he seated fora few moments until he
could think the matter over and write
out a prescription. That suited Slip
pery pretty well, for he had been seat
ed in the surgeon's otlicc before many
times engaged in social chat with the
doctor and others. Slippery was so
quaint and original in his conversa
tion that Surgeon Riidnd. and, indeed
all the other oilicers and men. and th
sutler, too, were always glnd t< lay
aside rank and tile ami associate with
him when off duty.
'I'lie result of tie- surgeon’s delibera
tion.-, was tiie following prescription,"
which he told Slippery to take to the
hospital steward, and have him com
pound it:
Ut.—Scw-uin pocket pants up um
No. 1.
Make um pocket coat tail um No. 1.
M. S.--Use as directed. Rii.i>ai>.
The directions given to Slippery
by the surgeon were to put his pocket
knife, his tine-tooth comb, his mar
bles. fete., in the coat-tail pockets, and
try to keep Ids hands in his pants
p< ickets.
Well, the prescription worked ad
mirably: but for aw idle it made Slip
pery look more ludicrous than ever,
for his hands would slide down over
his sides lik*- mud turtles slipping off
a bank into a puddle. In time Slip
pery gained some control over Ids
hands, hut he was often puzzled to
know what to do with them, or where
to put or keep them.—American
Tribune.
VALUE OF A SPY IN BATTLE.
Isxplotl of >1 Soldier Who Cnilicd Impor-
tunt Information at
At tlit‘ ivernt iv-unio?! of tho First,
Tenth and Twenty-ninth Maine regi
mental associations, Dr. II. N. Howard,
who was assistant surgeon of the
Tenth Maine infantry, related the fol
lowing incident:
On the second day of the battle of
Gettysburg, the Twelfth corps was on
the right of the union line. The First
division (Gen. M illiainsl occupied the
extreme right at the foot of Culp's
hill, where slight earthworks had
been thrown up. In the afternoon the
enemy appeared to he massing on our
left. Gen. Meade ordered the First
division of the Twelfth corps over to
the support of the left. This left the
Tenth Maine occupying the extreme
right of tin- onion lines alone.
‘The enemy doubtless discovered
the movement, as, after dark, it was
found that they were moving by the
left dank down the ravine hack of
Culp’s hill. When they reached our
extreme left there would only inter
vene the Tcnjh Maine battalion, com
posed of three small companies, be
tween the foe - and the entire ord-
nanee train of the army of I’otomae.
This was reported to Gen. Slocum, lie
lost no time in informing- Gen. Meade,
who ordered 11 trusty scout to be sent
out ill once to ascertain the facts
< apt. Reards'ey called for a volunteer
for the desperate service, the night
being black as ink. The risk wa,
great the man was forthcoming'.
11enr\ Kalloek threw off his chevrons,
and in the blous - of a private soldier
announced himself ready. KuLock
was first sergeant of Company D, as
brave as lie was daring and ellieient.
With dread as to the result, Capt.

Mr. Paul, president of the (ianseyoort
bank of New York, thinks that “ew-iy
wit" in the land .should have a bank ac
count on her wedding day and some
thin.:, however small, deposited toller
credit by her father or husband. Let
her pay her bills with cheeks. Let her
make them out for sJ.'.iit ns often as
they are required. A little banking is
the \t ty best lesson in practical arith
metic ti young woman cun have. It
teaches her the rial meaning of Imsi-
ne: . When the cheek is returned, it is
a receipt, one of those tilings to which
few women attach importance.’’ There
are a number of gentle del nisi tors in the
“goose market” bank, ami President
Paul has an exaggerated tenderm-s ; for
them all. “They do business on busi
ness principles,” lie says, “and they arc
Womanly. What more can I say in their
favor';”
A “lost” It ing.
A very swell and very pretty girl,
who lives not a mile from the big Fifth
avenue cathedra), has been receiving
countless condolences on the announced
loss of her engagement ring, a sapphire
Ix twi i n two big diamonds. She has
D en partially consoled by the gift from
her fiance of another handsome ring.
Now she is beginning tnquukc and have
all sorts of qualms, both moral and
m- iilal, because she is afraid some one
of ’he six prisons who know the truth
al out tin loss will tell that it occurred
at the poker table, and that s ic in a
ii; .ment of frenzy or ( ntlmsiiksm put up
the 'ing to “call” a S'»o “raise” and
lo-t it. t his is an absolutely true story,
as i\ pt rsotiswho read it—am! perhaps
muK by this time—will acknowledge.
