TuF BONES OF A GIANT.
The Discovery Made In an Indiana
Gravel Pit.


The Chicago Tribune's Shelbyville
(Indisna) special says: George Arnold,
farm hand in the employ of Franklin
Booth, who lives fifteen miles west Of
this city, has made a discovery which
has excited widespread interest in this
county. The object OF this interest is
the skeleton OF what once was man OF
gigantic proportions, which was uncov-
cred in gravel pit on the Booth farm.
The skeleton was found in a sitting
posture, facing east, and was about six
feet beneath the surface. Some OF the
bones we're badly broken by the caving
OF the bank. The skull and some Of the
large bones were taken out intact, and
from them may easily be realized the
gigantic stature of the being TO whom
they once gave support. The measure
ment OF the skull from front to rear,
by a rule passing through the eye
socket to the back of the head, shows
it to have been about sixteen inches
deep; while the breadth of the inferior
maxillary was eight and one-half inches.
showing that the brain must have
weighed from four and half to five
pounds. Careful measurement OF other
bones established the fact that the man,
when alive, was not less than nine feet
in height aud was large in proportion.
From the appearance of the teeth.
which are very large and do not show
the slightest sign of decay, although
they are worn down almost to the
bones Of the jaw, the man could not
have been less than one hundred years
old when he died, and perhaps much
older. The bones of the lower jaw are
very large and thick, showing an ex-
tent OF muscular development in that
organ which is far beyond anything OF
the present day. Steps have been
taken to have casts made of the bones,
which will be placed in the State geo.

Where Sheen Are Kent.

According to the last census the
number Of sheep in the United States
in 1880 was 40, 1872, 092, including the
number estimated in ON the great
Western ranches. Ohio reports the
largest number of any StHte, having
nearly 100000 sheep, shearing over
$4,000, 900 pounds of wool. California
comes next, with over 1000, 900 sheep,
shearing nearly 100000 pounds of
wool, beside half as much more at the
fall clip that was not accounted for in
the June enumeration. Michigan
stands third, with 2.1S9, 3S9 sheep, pro.
ducing nearly 100000 pounds OF
wool. New York and Pennsylvania
each produce over 100000 pounds OF
wool; Missouri and Wisconsin 1000, 600
pounds each, and Texas nearly as
many, beside the fall clip, which would
make her product nearly equal to that
Of Michigan; Illinois, Indiana and Ore
gon shear about 6,000,000 pounds each.
Vermont, with 439,S70 sheep, had
2,55l, 113 pounds of wool, but was ex-
ceeded by Maine, whose clip was
2,776,4 07 pounds from 800, 91S sheep.
OF the other New England States, New
Hampshire, with her 211,S25 sheep,
produced 1,060,5S9 pounds of wool;
Connecticut had SO, 431 sheep, clipping
go, 1873 pounds of wool, and Massachu-
sets had 1879 sheep, shearipg 800, 089
pounds of wool. Comparing the num-
Der of sheep in the New England States
with the number of inhabitants, we
find that Rhode Island has one sheep
to every seventeen Inhabitants; Connect
icut one to ten, and Massachusetts, one
to twenty-six, while Maine has six
sheep to seven inhabitants, and Yer
mont three sheep to every two of her
population. Forty-fve years ago Mas
sachusetts had one sheep to about two
of her inhabitants, or 325, S41 sheep to
737. 700 people.

The Owl and the Farmer.

An owl who was accommodating q
Farmers hen-coop, was caught by the
leg in steel trap, and held fast until
the toil-hardened agriculturist came out
in the morning to finish him.
"Sir What is the meaning of this
outrage demanded the Owl.
"You were after my Poultry" was
the reply.
I'VE will let the law settle that point.
I will see if free-born American Owl
is to be treated in this lawless man
nerp
Being taken into Court, the Owl put
in the defense that no farmer had any
legal right to keep Hens, and the Judge
closed the case by saying:
while the presence of the Owl in
the vicinity of the henery goes to show
that he would prefer Fowl to Hash, the
Farmer has failed to prove whether the
trap was bought of man with squint
in his left eye or a wart on his nose.
The Owl is entitled to 800 damages for
his injuries, and the Farmer is jugged
for thirty days for unlawfully obstruct-
ing the United States Mail
Moral: Keep Owls instead of Hens.

Great SelkDenial.

"Where can 1 buy pair of cuffs ?"
inquired late riser of an Austin hotel
proprietor one Sunday morning.
"Dont believe you can anywhere, "
replied the hotel man, Clothing stores
are all closed up until 4 o'clock in the
evening""
"Well, where can get cocktail? ]
am as dry as puff ball"
Cant. Saloons are closed up until
after o'clock"
Il suppose can get glass of sweet
cider at some corner grocery, can't I?''
"Not much; groceries are all closed
up until after o'clock.
Are, Ell? Then 1 guess I'll have to
go down to some drug store and get q
glass of plain soda"
"Can't do that, either. Drug stores
are not allowed to sell soda until after
o'clock.
The man moved mournfully over to
the water cooler and had about half
filled tumbler, when policeman in
front Of the hotel commenced shooting
at suspicious-looking dog. The hotel
guest dropped the glass, jumped about
fourteen feet, and, running behind the
Office desk, shouted:
@Don't shoot again, cap! I won't
touch drop Of your blamed old ice
water until after o'clock If You
think it's too rich for my blood, I'll
practice self-denial and spit cotton till
shutdown. "-Terds SiftinJs.

The ParseeS.

The Parsees of India are the decend-
ants of the ancient Persian "frewor
shippers" They claim history back
to Abraham. The Zendavesta is their
holy book, and the venerated Zorro
aster, who fourished b. G. $50, is their
great prophet. Driven from Persia
thousand years ago, they found ref
uge in India. Now there are but 5000
left in their ancient home. OF this
strange people there are about 100000
in all the world. OF this number $780,
900 are in India. Bombay, "the city
of the Parsees," has $4,000, making
one-tenth of the entire population. AS
you walk the streets of Bombay you
cannot help noticing these disciples of
Zoroaster, differing as they do from
both Mohammedans and Hindoos. The
Parsee gentleman is tall and erect,
with fair complexion and dignified air.
His long white coat OF. silk or fine mus
lin is buttoned closely from chin to
waist, and hangs in full flowing skirt
to the knee. He wears tall tapering,
queer-looking. indiscribable hat, with
out brim, inclining backward from
the forehead, and looking very much
like section of stovepipe. 1t is APP
parently of paste-board covered with
brown silk or muslin. In the top IL q
hole in which he puts his handkerchief.
This hat is one of the badges of his re-
ligion, and he must never change it for
any other style. The Parsee always
keeps his head covered, indoors or out,
day or night, asleep or awake. Around
his waist he wears silken cord, which
he is to unite at prayer. No bargain is
binding if this cord is left off when the
contract is made. These people are
among the most intelligent, influential,
and patriotic in the community. Most
of them are merchants and bankers,
and as such are honest, Industrious, and
polite, taking the lead in all CONNER.
cial enterprises. One-half of the
wealth and three-feurth of the business
of Bombay is in their hands. They
are often called the Jews of the East.

The Servant Girl Question.

One of the great difficulties in the
way of getting on comfortably with
hired help is, 1 believe, the proneness
on the part of the mistress to forget
that Bridget is flesh and blood the same
as herself, and not O machine warranted
to keep in good order and never wear
out, and this without the lubricating oil
of consideration or kind words. Par
ticularly is this the case with those who
are never without help in their kitchens.
They forget, if they have ever known,
how wearing are the long days of ex-
oessive toll; how wearisome are the big
washings, the tedious ironing, the hard
scrubbings, the hot bakings; or, if the
matter is thought upon at all, it is too
often only to chafe that the work does
not progress more swiftly, or to chide
at little shortcomings and defects.
While it is generally expected of
Gretchen that she possess great phys
ical endurance, it is quite as frequent
demand that her sensibilities be Of
minimum quantity. She is never to
show temper, to flare up or grow touchy
at commands or reprimands, is never to
ANSWER back" under any extremity,
but is to "know her place" and keep it.
The mistress forgets that the average
girl, while she has quite as much sensi-
tiveness "a morbid sensitiveness if you
wilD as herself, has, ordinarily, far less
discipline and self-control.
Often the authority of the mistress,
the temper of the maid and the comfort
of the whole household are wrecked on
the rock of trivialities. The wife and
mother forgets or ignores the fact OF
how much more important to herself
and family are her life and health, her
vital powers of body and mind, than
whether the skillet is hung upon the
right nail, the dishes washed after a
cast-iron formula, or other OF the minor
affairs of life accomplished with utmost
accuracy; hence trivialities-of one
kind or another-are harped upon till
the girls sensibility is scared, her tenn
per soured, and the chance for an
agreeable getting along with her effect
ually swept away.
Again, where the mistress is not over
severe with q girl so far rs hard work is
concerned, she sometimes-priding her.
self upon her skill in managing-so ar
ranges it that the girl never has an
hour that she may rightfully call her
own. Sewing, knitting, patching, piec-
ing, baby-tending, take up all the leis-
ure time, and the girl, if she goes ever
80 briskly about her morning tasks, has
nothing to look forward to but an after
noon filled to its utmost capacity with
other kind of work. This is discourag-
ing to even the most active and best
tempered (for we cannot expect others
to take interest in orr work quite as we
do ourselves), and Bridget is likely to
become drone, dragging out her work
indefinitely and with very little regard
to the time in which it should be done.

From the sterner sex, and from the
sterner members OF her own sex, poor
defenseless woman has received an
enormous amount of reviling for heI
corsets. her high heels, her bustles, her
tight shoes, and the thousand and one
other things which she imagines make
her more charming. All this she has
endured up to the present, and with
sanity patience, but ut last even the
worm brought 30 bay will turn and
rend his accusers. And the peculiar
thing about this is that she seems to
have some reason on her side. She
tells her critics to remove first the
beam from their own eyes. then they
will be better qualified to judge of tho
size of the mote which is obscuring
their sisters vision. Her first point OF
attack is the starcbed shirt-front. This
we surrender ut once. And 30 on until
we are reduced almost to the condition
which Eve succeeded in making i'm
proper for Adam to appear IN on tho
day when that wretched couple in
dulged too unrestrainedly in vegeta-
rian diet. Then it was that woman
first provoked the dress discussion, and
it has remained with her fruitful topic
ever since. Up to that time there was
no question as TO what was and what
was not rational" dress. But Eve
listened to the Worth of her day, and
here we are, after centuries of evolu-
tion, each sex wearing fashion of fig
leaf which the other knows to be ridic-
ulous, and yet are no nearer a solution
of the vexed problem than were our
unworthy progenitors that November
afternoon when they were evicted from
the Garden of Eden. Is their no COM
promise possible? If we yield points
on our side, will our daughters, wives
and sisters meet rs half wayp Will
the abandonment of the high hat pur-
chase abstinence from the flower and
feather trimmed monstrosities that fur
nish the milliners luxurious existence?
Will the giving up Of starched collars,
cuffs and shirt-fronts gain the abolition
of an equal number of starched skirts
and lace-trimmed pett!coats? Will our
return to sandals mean death to French
heels? Will our absolute desertion of
BARRIERS secure temperance in the use
of rice-powder and arsenical solutions
When these questions are answered in
the affirmative we will give in our allie
glance to the new order of things, but
until they are we shall cling manfully
to the right to encase our bodies in
stiffened linen and torture ourselves in
any other way we may see tit.-1he
