"The one source of strength to the

able development of adpose tissue which

gical Review" leads him to vonch for the
accuracy Of the extraordinary measurements
We give. They are natives Of Queens coun.
ty, Ireland, forty-seven miles from the city
Of Dublin. They are born of respectable
parents, hard. working farmers. The father
stood six feet, and weighed twenty seven

stands five feet two inches in height, meas

across her shoulders three feet around her
waist FIVE feet six inches, aud wei Chs the

eldest son is twenty-five years Of age, stands
six feet two inches, weighs eighteen stone
five pounds, and at the present time be is a

the eldest daughter, is twenty years Of age.
She stands five feet six inches in height,

scarcely able to walk. She appears to BE-

Poetry.
NOTHING CARES.

Ay, nothing cares; the buds peep out
Through the glory of waving grasses;
The lime tree filings its passionate breath
To the night wind as it passes
The roses luser, crimson aud white,
In aff1uent glow and bloom; q
The wild birds sing mid the wedding chimes,
Or the mourne1s' sobbipg prayers;
The seasons keep their stated time,
Life passes; nothing cares.
Our JOY cannot soften the keen gray skies,
Or the sting of the glit,ering frost;
Our cry cannot sadden the Springs sweet signs
On the merry breezes tossed
Our woe does not cloud the summers flush,
AS it gaddens DER land and sea
Our triamph sinks down when the Autumn hush
Claims its grave tranquility,
Oh never a touch of sympathy
Great Natures magic wears;
We strive ard stumble, and moan, and die;
Life passes; nothing cares.
