PIcToMAL U. S. History,
BY John A. Stewart. hessrS j. II.
Butler & Co. Phila.
This volume is one of the New Ameri-
can Series-a line of excellent school
books. We have not time to speak Of all
the excellencics of this history, for we
find many in the volume which We have
just examined.
The authors style is well nigh C%autless,
and to the young must prove as int er.
esting as a well written story. The maps
are clear and distinct. the illustrations
are appropriate aud some of them much
better than we usually find in school books.
A %pronounciDg vocabulary is appended
at the close Of each chapter. This is
quite an important feature as teachers
we'll know. Our opinion is that the book
will stand the test of the school room
tue only trns test after oil for a school
book.

Translated from LIE Stam6out, Juty 12.-
Yesterday in the Palace OF the Waters, the
Sultan, Murad ", was pleased to give an eX-
hibition of his desire and ability 10 grapple
successfully with the financial problem-One
which even in America has provoked discus
sion by the keenest and least qualified minds.
Il has hitherto been the practlce tor the in
coming Sultan to assume the wives as well as
the honors OF his predecessors, and as the
death-rate among the ladies OF the harem is
very low, there naturally remains on the
sbeves-that is TO say, the dlVans OF the
SeragliO-even after the most liberal allow
ance for bow w-st,ingings and elopements, a
very considerable proportion OF old stock.

The history of the chinese queue is told by
the Reu. Julius Dooittle, missionary in
China, as follows '' The first Emperor OF
the present dynasty, who began to reign in
1914, having usurped the throne, determined
to make the tonsure of Manchuria, his native
country, the token of submissin Of the Chinese
to his authority. He ordered them to shave
all the head except the crown, and allowing
the hair ON that part to grow long, and to
dress it according to the custom of Manchuria.
The Chinese had been accustomed under ma
tive Emperors to wear long hair over the
whole head, and to arrangeit in atutt or coil.
The change was gradual, but finally prevailed
through the empire. At first those who
shaved their heads and conformed to the
laws received, it is said, a present OF tael
Of silver, after while only half tael, and
afterward only an egg-finally even an egg
was not allowed. The law requiring the
people to shave the head and braid the queue
was not only rigidly enforced by the penalty
of immediate death, but it became very mani
fest that those who did not conform to the
wishes of the dominant dynasty would never
become successful in lawsuit against those
who did conform, nor would they succeed at
the literary examinations"

the war that u man who would abandon his
post in that crisis ought to be scalped:

Your favor Of the IT. came to hand on Mon

doings of the Second District Convention.
Many thanks FOR your attention and assls-
tance in the premises [ cared very little
about being a candidate, but, having consen-
ted to the use Of ny name, preferred to
succeed.
Your suggestion about getting furlough
to take the stump was certainly made with
out reflection. An officer fit for duty who at
this crisis would abandon his post ought to
be scalped. You may feel perfectly sure !
shall do no such thing.
We are, and for the past two weeks nave
been, in the Immediate presence OF the rebel
army. We have skirmishing and small affairs
constantly. l am not posted in the policy
deemed wise at headquarters, and can guess
as to the prospects Of general engagement.

Giants in Ol(Ien Times.

The giant exhibited at Rouen in 1870 meas
ured nearly eighteen feet.
GOrapius saw girl that was ten feet high.
The giant Galabria, brought from Arabia
to Rome, under Claudius Caesar, was ten feet
high.
Fannun, who lived i'll the time of Eugene
II, measured eleven and a half feet.
The Chevaiier Scrog, il his voyage 70 the
Peak Teneriffe, found in one of the caverns
of that mountain the head Of the Gunich, who
hand sixty teeth, and was not less than fifteen
feet high.
The giant Faragus, slain by Orlando,
nephew Of Charlenange. was tWenty-eight
feet high.
In 1914, near ST. German, was found the
tomb of the giant Isolent, who was not less
than thirty feet high.
In 1890, near Rouen, was found a skeleton
whose skull held busbel Of corn. and who
was nineteen feet high.
The giant Bacart was twenty feet high :;
his thigh bones were found IN 1903, near the
river MOderi.
In 1923. near the castle in Dauphine, &
tomb was found thirty feet long, sixteen wide
and eight high, on which was cut III gray
stone these words: 'KeutOcOchus Rex.
The skeleton was found entire, twenty-five
and fourth feet long. ten feet across the
shoulders, and five feet from the breast-bone
to the back.
Near Palermo, in Sicily, in 1916, was
found the skeleton Of a giant thirty feet high,
and in 1852 another forty-four feet high.
Near Magrino, in Sicily, in 1916, was found
the skeleton of giant thirty feet high, the
head of which was the size of a hogshead,
and each of his teeth weighed FIVE ounces.
We have no doubt that there we're ''giaHts
in those days." and the past perhaps was
more prolific in producing them than the
present. But the history of giants during the
olden time was not more remarkable than
that of dwarfs, some OF whom were even
smaller than the Thumbs and Nuts CT our
own time.

The situation I'm Indiana.

indianapolis Sentinel OF yesterday.
Owing to the extreme length OF the
three tickets and the complications arising
mans right 70 scratch, the result of yes-
terday's election in Indiana cannot be re-
ported in full. Enough reliable reports
have been received, however, upon
which to base very safe estimate. In
greenbsck counties, Mr.. Williams has
run ahead of his ticket. This fact is
most noticeable in Vigo county, where
the Independents had developed the
greatest strength. A keener rebuke
to the purchase Of Walcott and the at
tempted sale of the Independents could
hardly have been gwen the grand son.
The Democrats are justified by the re-
turns already in. and the estimates
placed thereon in claiming the state by
at least SIX or seven thousand majority.
The townships and wards OF Marion
county and the city of Indianapolis
could not be counted in time for this
issue of the Sentinel, but the estimates
made reduce the Radical ajority in the
city over the last election three thousand
votes, and the county is close with the
probabilities in favor os the Democracy
The great reduction in the Radical
majority in the city is owing to the fact
that there was no repeating as at the last
election, when the negroes went from
poll to poll and voted at pleasure The
colored man was cowed by the Journals
charge that the city was iull OF Balti-
more bummers, and he felt he had dene
his whole duty when he deposited his
first and rirhtful ballot.
