Among tho Oreeks the Burrccssful
athlete wai crowdwl down with lau
rels and lottdcd down with wealth
und honors. When lJgcnetus in the
ninety-second Olympiad, trlutnphnut
In games, entered AffrigontumyhU
native home, he was attended by an
escort of 300 chariots, each drawn by
two whlto horses nnd followed by tho
popuUce, checrlnsj and waving ban
ners. Milo six tiim-a won. tho palm
at bolh the Olympic and I'ythlan
games. IIo Issald to have run u uiilo
with n four year rid ox upon his
shoulders, and afterwards killed the
animal with a blow of his tbt, mid nto
tho entire carcass in one day I
So groat was his mu'cutar power
that ho would noiuel lines bind n ford
rouutl iiia head and brouk it by tho
swelling and pressure ol tho veins.
An ordinary meal for Milo was twenty
(Hitinds of meat, nt much bread, and
fllteen pints of wine. l'olydumus of
Ttissulut, was of prodigious strength
and colloasnl hetghth, and it la mild
alone and without a weapon, killed
an enormous enrugud Hon, One diy
(It Is recorded) ho hcIzkiI a bull by ono
of Its hind feet, nnd the animal es
cap'd only by leaving the hoof In iho
grasp of tho athlete. The iloiuun
Emperor Maxlmus was upwatds of
eight teet tu height, and like Milo
could wjueeza to powder tho hardest
stone with his 11 ngors. and break t he
leg or Jaw of a horso by a kick. Ills
wife's bracelet served him as a ring,
and his every day meal was sixty
pounds of meat and an amphora of
wine.
Whllo a prisoner In Germany Men
ard I. accepted an Invitation to it ho.
Inir match with the son of his Jailer.
He received the first blow, which
made him stagger ; but, recovering,
1th a blow of his fist killed his an
tagonist on the spot. Topham, who
as born In Loudon in 1710, was
possessed of enormous strength.
His armpits hollow In tho cafe of or.
dlnary men, were with him full ol
muscles aud tendons. He would take
bar of Iron, with Its two ends held
In his hands, place the middle of the
bar behind his neck, and then ls-nd
tho extremities by main force until
they met together, and bend back the
iron straight again. One night, per
ceiving tho watchman aletp iu his
box, lie carrleu both the iu.ni ana his
shell to a great distance, and diiioit
ed them on tho wall of a i tiurchyard.
Owing to domestic tr.niUe b com
mitted suicide In ht piim i f life.
he famous RhatKlrrhurir. ki:i;r of
Albania, vhit was Urri In 1111, was
man or great stature, ami hit r.-its
In sword ixvifUo'lisvij never In-eii
equaled. On niiu Kv.Mn, wi lt a
aclmeter, he struck his Htitigiiii-,t
such a terrible U.tw that Its treuicu
dous force cleaved blut to thu wal.t.
He Is stthl to have f en cloven in
two, men who weru clad In tirnmr
from bead to foot. On ou iK-ci.iuii
the brother and nephew of a certain
Baltaimn, who had been convicted of
cruellies towards the AUwuIjus, were
brought to him latum! together.
TransforttHl with rage he cut them
in two with one stroke of his weapon.
Maurice, Count of Haxony, the hero
of Fontenoy, Inherited tho phyicl
vigor of his falhcr.and was especially
ooted for the surprising mu.-vcular
power or "grip" of his hands. Ou
ene occasion needing a cork sarew,ho
twisted a long Iron nail round h. the.
recinlred shapo with his fingers, and
with this extemporized implement
opened half a dozen bottles of wine.
Another time when stopping at a vil
lage blacksmith shop to have his hore
shod, he picked up a numberif horse
shoes, nnd with his hands mapped
them iu two as readily us if made of
glass, inucb to the surprise mul us-
glst of the smith.
If history Is to bo believed, Thayl
lus. of Crotoha, could jump a distance
of fifty hlx feet. The exercises were
practiced at tho Olympic games and
formed part of the course of tko Pen
lathlon. Strutt, an English authority
on games and amusements, speaks of
a Aorkshlre Jumper named Ireland,
whoso powers were aoraothing mar
velous He was six feet high, nnd
at the age of eighteen leaped, with out
the the aid of a spring-board over
nine horses ranced side by side. 113
eleared a cord extending fourteen feet
from the ground with a bound, crushed
with his foot a bladder suspended at
a height of sixteen feet, and on ntu.t n
or occasion Hjrhlly cleared u large
wagon covered with an awning.
Colonel Ironside who lived In India
early in this century, rela'ea that he
met In his travel an old white haired
man, who, with one leap, cleared the
back of an enormmis elephant, flanked
by six camels of tho largest breed. A
curious French work, published in
Paris in 1715, entitled Tho Tracts
Toward tho History of Wonders Per
formed at Falrn," mentions nn Eug
Hshman, who at the Fair of St. Oer
man in 1724, leaped over forty people
without touching ono of them. In
our days wo are familiar with many
remarkable expositions of strength
and endurance. Dr. Wiushlp with
the aid of straps, lifted a weight of
3,500 pound?, and with the little lln
ger of his right hand could raise his
body n considerable distance from tho
ground.
A It0ri.ll TBAXSLAIIO.
A young lady living In . tho mo t
exalted social elides of Oalveslon,
after much toll and practice at the
piano learned to piny with considera
ble dexterity n piece entitled "Picnic
Polka." It is something after tho
style of tho IJattloof tho Prague,"
In which tho listener cn readily dis
tinguish tho roar of artillery, the rat
tle of muskeiry, the shouts of tho sol
diers and tho gronnH of the dying.
In tho "Picnic Polka" tho nolso of
Iho wind among tho trees and the
Joyous carol- of the birds uro repro
duced, the fluulo being h thunder
shower, which disturbs tho sylvan
revellers. It happens that a country
cousin Is Iu town Just now, and the
young lady thought sho would play
the piece to him and hear his com
ment. He Is a plain, simple-minded
youth, and though not very bright is
very appreciative. .Site told him what
the piece was and then proceeded to
glvehlm tho "Picnic Polka." Tho
first notes are rather (slow and hesi
tating, Iho idea sought to bo conveyed
being the solemn solitude of tho for
est through which the gentle zephyr
sighs. After sho got through with
this preface she asked him If ho did
not almost Irmglne hirii'i-lfin a lodge
Iu Homo vast wilderness. He replied
that he thought all that slowness
meant tho delay In getting oft. Htld
lie : "There Is always some darned
fellow who over-iloeps hluielf and
keeps everybody t-No wiiiting.''
fiho did not caro lo dispute tho
question with the Ignorant fdlow, so,
to conceal her emotl ms she once
more let herself out on the piano.
The woods were filled with music.
