Half the illnesses and mor© than

the xvant of some active outside inter

beyond her own sensations—things to

disappointments and shadowy desires.

Famous i-euator.
Mr. Sumner stood six feet two Inch- s
high without his sh-»es. and he was so
well built that his height was only no
ticeable when he was near a person of
ordiuary size. But there was a man
ner about him, a fre swing of the arm.
a stride, a pose of his shaggy head, a
sway of hi ■» broad shoulders that gave
to those who knew him best the idea
that he was of heroic size. Then, too,
there was somethin!; in the intent look
of his dee|»-set eje, his corrugated
brow, the frown born of intense
thought, and his Urge head, made to
seem yet larger by its crown of thick,
heavy, longish gray hair, all of which
gave the idea of physical greatness;
but with his frequent smile the set
frown passed, his whole appearance
changed, and his free beamed like a
dark lantern suddenly lighted.
His
smile effected a wonderful transforma
tion in his whole appearance, and it
set up a peculiar sympathy betwoon
himself and its rt|cip ent.
For one of hit sedentary habits, he
had ©xtraordinaiy strength, and yet he
was not an athlete. While in Wash
ington his only exercise was walking,

rather than th« distance that tells,
when opportunity offered he would go
at a rate that anjazed beholders. Some
persons attempting to join and keep up
with him -^ki^l^-eded by taking an
occasional hop, skip and jump, such ns
children practice when walking with
their parents. Up to the time of his in

nearly five hundred pounds each, and
were difficult to handle in passages and
stairways, and so were accompaniel
by four men. Once when he was liv
ing at Rev. Dr. Sampson’s, one oi these
heavy boxes got stuck in the stairway.
It could be extricated without damage
to the walls only by lifting it over the
banister. The four men failed to apply
their strength to the most advantage,

“Hew can wo?” answered one. “You
