The Colorado cardlR Giant.

A telegram from Denver, Col, con-
tains thefollowing. mfr. Commits dis
covery of the petrified missing link OR
statue of an ancieHt man was yester.
day exhibited for several hours. Crowds
poured in and gazed with varied emo
tons upon the giant as he lay ON tire
back on boards; encircled by sound,
temporary fence, to keep hands from in
juring him. Prof. Semper, of Wurtem-
burg, Germany, says he does not believe
the figure to be archaeological origin,
nor petrlfaction; and says it is easy in
fossiliierous ,remains generally to trace
the outline between the bone and flesh,
the substance connecting the joints be-
ing different from the substance on the
body, and there is no more difference
between the substance on the body,,and
limbs and that connecting the joints
than is found in the substance connect
ing the legs for instance. The remains
should be more shrunken, and, II apet-
rifaction, should have hair. DR.. Dem
nlsson says one arm from the elbow to
the wrist is lower by an inch than the
other. The arm is out of proportion to
the legs; also the neck, hips, and head
are not proportioned. The abdomen,
high in dead persons, falls to level
with the hips. The substance is said
to dissolveln nitric acid. The majority
think it Is piece Of statuary or clay
image of very ancient origin. Semper
says the head is similar to the heads of
the ancient Aztecs. 1t is certainlya
great curiosity, and, ifnot fraud, a
most wonderful, awe inspiring figure.

land fragrance foated on the air-Some-
how Hetty felt soothed, as she was rest
ing on the stile, and looking dreamily
at the white clouds over head.
An approaching footstep startled her.
Turning she saw mans figure coming
along the pathway, and another glance
showed her that it was Walter Hayes.
Her heart gave great throb and then
seemed to stand still.
He came straight toward her-his
hand extended, his lips smiling, his
eyes looking straight into her own.
''Hetty!'
She looked at him half in hope halfin
doubt, and the color came and went on
her face.
'Hetty-I have wanted so much to
see you.'
She could not mistake the sincerity Of
his tone or the look Of the brown eyes !;
and she answered simply and naively {:
1 thought you had forgotten me-
Forgotten you?'
She could not have told how it hap
pened; but somehow she found herself
seated on the step of the stile with
Walter beside her his arm around her,
and her cheek close, all !! very close to
his, whilst all the world around SEEM
ed transformed into strange beauty
and glory. Such miracles does mo-
ment some times work in our lives.
AS they walked slowly homeward TO-
gether, he told her how one thing and
another had prevented his seeing her !;
among the rest. Hill, having confiden-
TALLY informed him at church, in answer
to his inquiries, that she was too sick
to come down stairs that day-a state
ment which he unfortunately credited,
and when this morning he had called
and learned from her mother where she
had gone, he had lost no time in follow
ing.
But Walter said Hetty hesitating
do you know l heard somthing about

He laughed.
Miss Mitchell is to be married short
ly, Hetty, to our junior partner. She
has been very kind to me-, and so has
her uncle, my employer. Indeed Hetty
I want to tell you Of my good fortune
and good prospects and to ask you,
darling, if, when
And then the words which had been
for whole year delayed were spoken !;
and Hetty wondered as she came in
sight of her home, whether this could
be the same world that it had been on
that dark, day, yesterday.

The Capture Of Hyenas.

The following mode of tying hyen-
as in their den, as practiced in Afgh-
anistan, is given by Arthur Connolly,
in his Overland Journal, in the words
of an Afghan chief, the Shirkaroe
Synd Daond:
Wv hen you have tracked the beast
to his den you take rope with two
slip knots upon it in your right hand,
and with your LETT holding felt cloak
before you, you go boldly but quietly
in. The animal does not know the
nature of the danger, and, therefore,
retires to the back of the den, but you
may always tell where his head is by
the glare of his eyes. You keep NOV
ing gradually toward him on your
knees, and when you are within DIS
lance throw the cloak over his head,
close with him aud take care he does
not free himself. The beast is so
frightened that he covers back; and
though be may bite the felt, he CAM
not turn his n, ok round TO hurt you,
30 you quietly feel for his fore legs,
slip the knots over them. and then
with one strong pull draw them tight
up to the back Of his neck and tie
them there. The beast is now your
own and you can do what you like
with him. We generally take those
we catch home to the krail, and hunt
them on the plain with brides in their
mouths, that our dogs may be taught
not to fear the brutes when they meet
them wild"
Hyenas are also taken. alive by the
Arabs by very similar method, ex-
cept that wooden gag is used instead
of ielt cloak. The similarity in the
mode of capture in two such distant
countries as Algeria and Afghanistan,
and by two races so different, is re-
markable. From the fact that the
Afghans consider that the feat requires
great presence of mind, and an in
stance being given of man having
died of bits in clumsy attempt. we
may infer that the Afghan hyena is
more powerful or more ferocious than
his African congener.

The other dayI asked singularly

TRUTH.-Miss Frances f. Willard
says: The grog shop is two-edged
sword, and cuts both ways at once. 1t
is rotating machine for the sharing Of
souls. 1t catches young men and boys
before they reach the church and Sab
bath School-while they are on their
way-and they never reach its doors; or
else it catches them as they return, and
mars or neutralizes the lessons there
impaired. Between the two there is
the old ''irrepressible conflict" over
again. 1t is war to the knife, and the
knife to the hilt, and only one can win.
And in this. warfare we, of Christ's
army, are outnumbered. There are
twelve saloons to every church, twelve
bar-keepers to every minister. The
church opens its doors two or three days
IN the week. The saloon grinds on and
on with its mill Of destruction, all the
days of every week, all the months of
every year. That we are outnumbered
is not all. We are outgeneraled, as
well. The people Of the rum shops pre-
pose in their hearts, not only to mar
and neutralize, but to obliterate and
displace the lessons Of Church and
Sunday School. They have their
series of lessons with which our Inter-
national series cannot at all compete
They have studied carefully the tastes,
tendencies, and preferences of boys
and young men, their natural and in
nocent tastes for variety, fondness for
preference for young COM
panY, and they pander to all these in
ways that take hold upon death.

A glutton of fellow was dining at
hotel, and IN the course Of the battle
OF knives and forks" accidentally cut
his mouth, which being observed by a
Yankee sitting near by, he bawled out:
Il say, friend, don't you make that ar
hole in your countenance any larger, or
we shall starve to DEATH"
