4 Family Of Giants.

The great attraction in the ladies'
waiting room at the Union depot last
evening was three giant brothers, each
over seven feet in height, with three
small wives. An investigation estab-
lished the fact that the men had been
East perfecting arrangements to place
themselves on exhibition during the
coming spring; that they were returning
from their trip highly elated over their
success and that they resided in Hunt
County, Texas, where they owned farms,
which, up to the present winter they had
cultivated in obscurity. The most re-
markable circumstance connected with
their history is that they had four other
brothers residing on farms in Hunt
County, who were also each over seven
feet in height. This family of giants,
grated to Texas from Georgia twenty
six years ago, are probably the most re-
markable family, physically speaking. in
the United States, although they lived
comparatively unknown to the world
outside of Hunt County, Texas, until
discovered during The present year by a
travelling manager. Two of the number,
James and Jack Shields, are exactly
seven feet and eleven inches in height,
their weights being respectively 3o6 and
and 376 pounds. They are twins and
are one inch taller than Gus Shields. one
of their brothers. One of the seven
brothers is only eighteen years of age,
vet he measures from the soles of his
feet to the crown of his head seven feel
and four inches. This young man is
still growing. Their father lacked an
inch Of being seven feet tall, but their
mother was a woman Of average size.
The combined weights Of four of the
brothers is 1,01s pounds.-a. Louis Re,

The Ostrich Kick.

When farmer goes into savage
birds camp he takes with him a thorn
pole, with branch or two of the thorny
bush left on the end. This is called
"tuck," and when the tuck is applied to
the ostrich's neck or head (his tender
points, he is almost invariably subdued,
and, after one or two efforts to ercape.
bolts furiously off to the other side of the
camp, where he races up and down to
vent his bafffed rage. If. however, the
bird gets near enough to his opponent to
give the so-called kick. he lifts his bony
leg as high as his body and throws it
forward with demoniac grotesqheness,
and brings it down with terrible force.
His object is to rip the enemy down with
his dangerous claw. but in most cases 1t
is the fat bottom of his foot which
strikes, and the kick is dangerous as
much from its sheer power as from its
lacerating effects. 1t is movement OF
terrible velocity and power, at al events.
Several instances may be mentioned of
herd bows being thus either wounded,
manned, or killed outright. One case
occurred near Graaff Reinet, in which a
horse had his back broken by q single
blow. In this case the bird had en-
deavored to kill the rider, but missed
him and struck the horse.
Many persons have been set upon by
birds when there was no shelter, not
even a tree to run to. Insuch a case.
if the pursued were acquainted with
struthious tactics, he would lie down
flat on the ground, where the bird finds
it impossible to strike him. But even thii
is no lioht matter. for some birds in theil
rage at being baff1ed of their kick, will
roll over their PROSTATE enemy, below
ing with fury and trampling upon him
in the most contemptuous fashion. ON
man who thus attempted the lying -dowl
plan found that every time he ATTEMPTED
to rise the bird would return and stanG
sentry over him, till at last, after creep
ing distance he got out only by swim
ming pond that bounded enc side O
the camp.-7he Century.
