Giants of OIden Times.

In one of his recent lectures, Pro-
fessor Sillman, the Younger alluded to
the discovery. of the skeleton of an
enormous lizard, Of eighty feet, From
this the professor inferred, as no liv-
ing specimen of such magnitude has
been found, that the species which it
represents has degenerated. The ver-
ity of his position he rather siugularly
endeavOred to enfore by an allusion to
the well known existence of giants of
the olden times. The following list
is the data on which this singular hy-
pothesis is based:
The giant exhibited at Rouen, in
1880, the professor says, mersured
neorly Is feet.
Gorapius saw girl that was ten feet
high.
The giant Galabra, brought from
Arabia to Rome, under Gladius Caesar,
was 10 feet high.
Fannum, who lived in the time of
Eugene ] l., measured III feet.
The Chevalier Scrogg, in his voyage
to the Peak TenerifTe, found in one Of
the caverns Of that mountain the head
Of Gunich, who had go teeth. and was
notices. than Is feet high
The giant Farragus, slain by Orlan
do, rcphew of Charmelange, was 28
feet high.
In 1914, near st. Germain, was
found the tomb of the giant Isorent,
who was not much less than thirty feet
high.
In 1890, near Rouen, was found a
skeleton, whose skull held bushel Of
corn, and whose body must have been
18 rect high.
The giant Bacart was % feet high /;
his thigh bones were found in 1903,
near the river Moderi.
In 1923, near the castle in Dauphine,
a tomb was found 80 feet long, SO wide
and 8 high, on which was cut, on geey
stone, these words: 'Keutolochus
Rex" The skeleton was found entire,
254 feet long, 10 feet across the
shoulders, and feet from the breast
bone to the back.
Near Palermo. in Sicily, in 1916,
was found the skeleton of a giant 80
feet high, and in 1850, another "a feet
long
Near Mazrino, in Sicily, in 1916,
was found the skeleton of giant 80
feet high; the head was the size of a
hogshead,s aud each Of his teeth weigh
ed ounces.

He was lawyer by profession, and
many nights did he work until the
morning dawn, not even partaking Of
rest in sleep, that he might CRAFTY my
selfish pride The strain upon him
was too much; his health began to
give way. Oh! how bitterly did I
lament my folly, when too late to make

fine things to me then in compari-
son? III could only have had his
health restored, l would have lived
thankfully with him in the humhlest

of his health, all to no avail. I then
found my husbands life was worth
more TO me than all else in the world.
Awhile he seemed to revive, but dis
ease had taken too deep hold upon a
system that might not have yielded,
but for the afore- mentioned overtaxa-
ton. A few more weeks of pain and
suffering, and my darling passed out
into the eternal sunset, and I was left
to wait weary years, with my yearning
widowed heart on this side. May my
dear, loving Katy take warming in

her.
Kate threw her arms around her and

recital had scarcely dried upon Kate's
checks, when her cxpectant eye caught

looking inexpressibly happy. l

Wearing Flannel

The majority of people are not
aware Of the beneficial effects of wear
ing flannel next to the body, both in
cold and warm weather. Flannel is
not so uncomfortable in warm wealth
er as predjudiced people believe. Ere
quent colds and constant hacking
coughs have left me since adopting
flannel garments. There is no need
of great bulk aroKnd the waist, which
condemns the wearing of flannel with
those who prefer wasp waists to health,
for in that case the flannel can be cut
as loosely fitting waists, always fasten-
ing at the back There are scarcely
any of the bad effects of sudden
changes of weather felt by those who
wear flannel garments, and mothers
especially, should endeavor to secure
such for their little people, in pref
erence to all those showy outside trim
mings which fashion cOmmends.-lHrs.

The Knklnx trie

= TIE Ku-klux trials now in pro-
gress before the United States Court as
Columbia, S. c., prove beyond ques-
ton the existence of the khan, its OBJ
ject, and the brutality and beastliness
of its members. The details of some,
of the evidence are too disgusting for
the columns of a newspaper. but from
what we print its character may be IN
ferred. Many of the witnesses, it will
be observed, are members of the klau.
This trial shows that the horrible char
acter ofthe organization which extend
ed throughout the rebel States has not
been exaggerated. Indeed, the facts
are so raordinary that it would be
impossible to exagerate. Messrs. STAN
berry and Reverdy Johnson, who were
retained to defend the accused, have
evidently become disgusted. The tes-
timony given by members of the, khan,
is so positive and shocking that the
counsel for the defense is overWhelm-
ed. In view of the political character
of the organization, the people in this
part of the country should be careful
to note the progress of the trials.

Muf1ing the Throat.

What is the best mode of protecting
the throat from colds, where 8 person
is very susceptible to them The COM
mon way of protecting the throat is to
bundle and wrap it up closely, thus
overheating and rendering it tender
and sensitive, and more liable to colds
and Inflammation than before This
practice is all wrong, and results in
much evil. Eespecially in the case
with children, and when in addition
to the muffling of the throat the ex-
tremities are insufficiently clad, as is of
ten the case, the best possible condi
tions are presented for the production
of sore throats, coughs, Group, and all
sorts of throat and lung affections. 1t
is wrong to exclude cold air from the
neck; and if it is overheated g portion
of the time, when it is exposed, some
form of disagreement of the throat will
be apt to occur. The rule in regard
to clothing the neck should be to keeI
it as cool as comfort, allows In doing
so You will suffer much less from
throat ailments than if you are always
fearful of having little cold air come
in contact with the neck. ANY one
who has been accustomed to have the
throat muffled should be careful to
leave off gradually, and not all al
once

- The Catholi Bishop Barclay, of
New Jersey, in a recently delivered
temperance address before the Catho-
lie Total Abstinence Union ofthat State
said he had ordered the to refuse clergy
christian burial 10 those who die from
the effects of liquor, as well as those
who sell it to drunkards. He further
said when he was in Paris, last year,
at the outbreak Of the late miserable
war between France and Germany, the
streets were filled with drunken sold
iers. In England, Scotland and Ire
land it is terrible He has no conf,
dence in prohibitory laws, and states
that Scotland, where all places of rec
reation and all taverns are strictly
closed on Sunday, there is drunken
ness on that day, owing to their lay
ing in large stock on Saturday, than
on all the other days of the week put
together" He would contend against
the vice by the influence of moral sua-
sion and religious opinion and coer-

Old Seventy-One, unique appears
Thy record 'mong the passing years!
Dame Nature chose thee as her time
To cut up capers quite sublime:
Floods ne'er had reached higher mark
Since Noah launched his mammoth ark
Than those which swept DER China's plain,
Leaving naught but ruin in their train.
Earthquakes oft threatened here and there
And plainly seemed to say Take Care"
A fierce and furious gale passed DER
Our land from shore to shore,
While steeples tall and shade-trees nice
Were hurried earthward in trice.

Death, with its Overwhelming wave,
Bears millions yearly to the grave.
The many all unknown to fame;
The few who brief attention claim.
Ohio the heartfelt tear has shed
In memory of two worthy dead:
The one revered and full of years,
Had long been honored 'mong his peers
EWING whose quick and powerful brain
Seemed capable of constant strain;
The worker ever at his post,
Multurl in parUo! yea host!
VALLANDIGHAM, the Democrat,
The lawyer, yet in spite of that
The gentleman refined, sedate,
Well nigh resistless in debate.
Has fallen with his armor on,
So busy and intent upon
His varied work, which, well begun,
Forever must be left undone.
And though may not agree with some,
De msortiuS nil nisi bOnun.
These and myriads more now sleep,
While sorroWing friends sad vigils keep.

OF accidents. each passing year
Is fuller than the last, fear.
How many cheek turns deadly pale
At mining horrors worse than Avondale.
Alas! that "cursed thirst for gold"
Is still the cause of woes untold:
That largest gains with least expense
Dollars from dimes and dimes from cents
Holds, as a rule, entire control
Of mortals-body, mind and soul!
While widows sobs and orphans cries
Ceaseless but unavailing rise.
Again for want Of due inspection
OF steamboat boilers occurs great explosion
On board the "Westfeld," and lives 'twixt foe
Are lost And nobody to blame?
We are but mortal, and we must
Leave it with God, all-wise and just.
Broad is the road that leads to death!'

Repeats, as oftentimes he reads
Of broad-gauged railways murderous deeds.
But murders done by railroads.&c.

GRANT takes trip the country through,
And don't blame him much, do you?
He makes some speeches, rather brief,
But which afford us quicE-relief;
While, better still, the smallest sheet
Finds room for every speech complete.
Better by far for old and young,
If each, like GRANT, would hold his tongu
In his late message he makes known
In language clearly all his own,
Every line of which SO plainly shows,
That he the situation" knows,
And calculates to ''hold'' it, too,
Exactly as he used to do.

But let us brief attention give
To something that must ever live,
Of all the scenes I speak most dire;
IT'S of the dread Chicago fire;
And while its horrors fill the breast,
More tragic fires sweep the Northwest.
Homes are burned and lives are lost
And well nigh countless is the cost.
But of this dark cloud the silver lining see
In the large-hearted charity
To which all classes lend their aid
And gifts most generous are made,
Thus Fastening as best they can
The promised brotherhood of man.

Awaited long and anxiously.
