The man who lives in climate reputed tC
be moderate cannot expose his stock with i'm
punity, because the frequent cold rains OF
such climate are more damaging than the
dry, bracing atmosphere of more northerly
location Experience proves this; and the
proofs are borne out by the teaching of physi
ology, namely, that dry, cool atmosphere is
tonic which, INDUCED in with moderation,
will invigorate; while, on the other hand, a
wet, chilly atmosphere Is depressing to the vi.
tai forces in the highest degree
Perhaps there is no kind of exposure that is
more detrimental, or which causes greater dis
comfort, than to be forced TO stand uron the
feet during the day and night, or otherwise lie
IN wet nest. The COW, the horse and the pig
particularly abhor u wet bed. Rheumatism
luug and bronchial ailments, congestion of the
liver, bowels or kidneys, IN fact, any aiment
which comes of congestion, may be contracted
IN q night by beast that is forced to lie IN the
wet. No function OF the body can go on, even
moderately well, under the damaging influ.
ences of wet nest; and to put fat upon a
beast SO exposed is not possible, except through
the expenditure of very large amount of feed
greatly larger than required by an animal
comfortably housed and bedded.-NdtioHdi

Magyar found home in the family of John >,

until the time OF his death, in 1876. Through
her connection with the Abbott family she
came into close associatiCn with other famous
literary families IN New England, and imbib.

of those with whom she lived. She became
ACQUAINTED with Longfellow's family, and
formed many dear friends among the New
England girls, who recognized IN the young
foreigner the charm of sweet true and aiiec.
tonate nature, accompanied with rare mental
gifts. After Mr.. Abbotl's death, IN 1876, Miss
Nagai went to Vassar college, where she re-

having graduated athorough scholar in music
and acquired literary a,tainments OF high or

Some years ago a number OF camels were
brought to this territory by the Southern Pa

that they would do better service than horses
or mules in traversing the then barren wids
through which that road was to pass. How.
ever, after trial, they did not meet the eXpecta-
ton of their owners and were soon turned
loose. Since then they have thrlved remarka.
bly, well and increased in numbers. Occasion.
ally one was caught or killed by the Indians
but greater portion were unmOested. No,
long ago Mr.. r. B. Smith, of North Rase

| Capt. Martin Van Buren, Bates, who lives
on farm near Seville, o., is Z feet IL p IN.
ches high and weighs 41S pounds. Mrs. Bates
is feet / inches high and weighs Alb pounds.
| il is difficult matter TO convey an adequate
idea of the proportions OF such dwelling as
the one occupied by the OHIO giants. A door
that is 6 feet 6 inches high is largeslzed
opening IN the side CT a house-that is, a
dwelling house, not a cathedral. But the doors
in the domicie of the Bates giants are 10 feet
| high and the knobs are nearly as high as the
reporters head.
The house was built by Capt. Bates in 1876,
and is elegantly furnished. In the main build
ing on the ground floor are, besides the spa
cious hall, the bedchamber of the giants, sit.
tlng-room, and parlor. The couch upon
which the big couple sleep was made espe.
cIaly for them, and 1t Is curiosity to look AT.
1t is extensive enough to give the great people
room to stretch IN, and 1t looks as big as an
ordinary sized floor 1t is really ten feet long,
WIDE in proportion, and about twice as high
as common bed. The magnificent dressing
case Is also a huge affair, with glass upon 1t
nearly as big as the side of Il house. In the
siitingr room is piano Of ordinary size itself,
but it is mounted on blocks two feet hlgh, so
| that the instrument is away up IN the air, out
of the reach OF common folks. There are two
rocking chairs IN this room that are SO big
that the reporter had to climb into one of them
the same Us an infant would Chamber up INTO
"hlgh-chalr." 1t is very expensive for the
giants to live, as they have to pay such an ex.
Orbltant price for everything they wear. For
instance, it costs the captain $50 for pair OF
boots.
1t is most astonishing sight to come across
the two giants out for drive, City folks who
have seen the ponderous wagons with wheels
reaching to the second.story of a house, used
TO haul stones weighing tons and tons, can
form an idea of the vehicle used 1t is pulled
by six stout Norman horses, and it Is enough
to make man think he has got 'em sure to
suddenly meet such spectacle on the road
out in the country. Passing wagons have to
let the rails down and pass into the adjoining
field until the giants go by.
