Price Four Gents
The Shop Girl Who Serves You.
Why Should She Not Sit Down:
 From the Spectator.


 Go into almost any shop you please, and ask the young woman who serves you, and who looks as if she were ready to drop from sheer fatigue, why she does not take a seat while she is sorting out the articles you want She is sure to reply that the rules of the shop do not permit her to sit down while serving a customer. In the telegraph offices, again, very strong and healthy young women have suffered permanently and gravely because the telegraph machines were put in such a posi- tion that they could only telegraph standing, and the very slight change necessary to ena- ble the telegraph clerk to receive and trans init messages sitting had never been author ized. Neither of these tyrannies is, properly speaking, injustice. The shopman and the telegraph clerk alike contract freely to do what they find so exhausting, and can throw up their engagement if they find it too exhausting. But on the same principle you might justify keeping your doctor or your nurse standing during their attendance on you.
 The only result would be that you would get worse doctors and worse nurses, and have to pay more for them. And so it is with the shop-women and the telegraph clerks. If you keep them standing while all their work is done, you take great deal of energy out of them for no useful purpose-since the rec ognition of the superiority of caste is no use- ful purpose-and only get the remainder for your use. You necessarily limit the class at your disposal to people With strong legs and strong backs, and exclude those who, with nimble minds and sufficiently strong bodies, have yet no great power of endurance in re- lation to physical fatigue And you spoil the relation between employer and employed, and injure that between customer and attendant, even more than you lessen the quality of the service you buy. Nobody can feel the same to an employer whose very name calls up the recollection of organized tyanny, he feels to one who is considerate for his feelings, as well useful to his purse.

A candid opinion will inva- riably be given as to the possibilities of a cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present reasonable chance for success while those who place themselves under Dr. Lghthi1Is professional eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an e1- tensive experience.

Giants i'm these Days.

Two of the most remarkable men of the century gave reception on Friday night at the Royal Aquarium, and were visited by many persons interested in anthropology Theaagiant Chang, tea merchant of Pekn, and Brustad, a tall Norwegian, received their friends, and being not much given to talk themselves had their history related for them by snowman.
 It appears that Chang is the largest giant in existence, that he stands s feet inches, and is highly educated, speaking five differ ent languages, including English, which last he speaks very well, but with the well-known sing-song of the Chinaman. He is s feet high without his boots, he measures 60 inches around the chest, weighs 26 stone has a span of feet with his outstretched arms and signs his name without an effort upon sign post 10 feet inches high. These figures and others as scientifically important propor- tions are to be verified next week by com mittee of the Archaeological Society, who took the measurements of the Zulus little while ago, conducting those savages one by one into MT. Darlington, the naturalsts room, and giving an average of an hour and a quarter to ascertaining the dimensions of each individual Chang is about B years of age, and it is about 15 years since he was in England. After five years, residence in the Celestial Empire he returned to Europe for the Paris exhibition, and has since visited Vienna (where the Emperor gave him ring he proudly exhibits marked with the Impe- rial eagles and the initials of Francis Joseph Berlin and Hamburg. Since his last residence in this country Chang has grown several it is said; he has a benevolent Mongolian face, courtly mannor, and wears a richly embroidered dress worked for him by his sister, who is like the rest of the fami- 1y of only ordinary stature
 Next to Chang, and next by no long inter val, stands Brustad, about feet inches high, very muscular, very broad backed hay ing as great girth' of chest Chang, and wider span in proportion to his height. He has low forehead, but speaks English fairly well. Brustad has also ring which he great Iy delights in exhibiting. He presented it to himself out of the profits, it is supposed, gained by being shown It is II ounces in weight, and a penny goes easily through it. To grasp his mighty hand in greeting is like shaking hands with oak 4ree. His weight is 2S stoue, greater than Changs, for his bones are more massive. His age is 35

 Dr. Lighthill takes pleasure and pride in submitting to the consid- eration of those interested the fol- lowing statement of MT. T. M. Cox, an old and prominent resident of New Haven.
A Happy Experience.

(From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.)
 We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from MT. T. M. Cox, an old resident of New Haven, and & gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles. The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hills treatment is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community with the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. LighthiITs ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence
 NEW HAVEN. July 9.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. IghshiI and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at- tackled my hearing, impairing it to a eonsid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in- inconvenience. One of Dr. Iighthilrs pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily dieso. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. Ighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, 30 that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthills efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that & few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnin will con vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession.
