An Outrage!

One Of the editors of the Bro,0H County
NeiCs has lately been subjected to a blush
ing embarrassment, the particulars of
which are told by himself below:
One of the 'fnk singers" of the Ne,cs
received through the mail last Saturday q
package addressed to him, which aside from
the address bore upon the wrapper the
word personal" With a light heart and
uiuble fingers he opened the aforesaid
package, thinking that some friend had
sent him a late copy Of some interesting
newspaper The contents proved to be
several sections Of the Chicago News, cut
bias, up and down, crosswise, with here
and there an armhOle, place for a rufile
and a tuck and the poor scribe was at his
wits end to understand the wherefore of
his receipt of this cOnglomOrate mass of
Chicago Newses. At last, snugly tucked
away between the sheets, a note was dis
covered which commenced in the words
following "Dear Sister Anna This is
the only Mother Hubbard pattern 1 have.
It is made with yoke (the yoke was evil
IDENTIFY forgotten, for we could not discover
it in the package. Come to think of il q
yoke would be too heavy to send by mail,
and it has probably been shipped by ex-
press. If the charges have not been pre-
paid Wen never take it from the office, for
money is somewhat scarce, and we haven't
any particular need of yoke anyhow
Then followed very minute plans and spec
ifcations for the building of this particular
| Mother Hubbard.

distinctly understood that we are nobody's

we are not a-er-that is to say we do not

haven't any objections; but we must draw

had desired to do us a lasting favor he Cor

obligations to the donor for the kind

conclude TO adopt the Mother Hubbard as a
uniform win follow explicitly the plans and
specifications now on file IN this office.

The next day we made an interesting
excursion to investigate the sewerage sys.
tenn of Berlin In every street of large
size there are mains built of solid ma
sonry, with interior diameters of four and
six feet which are well flushed with fresh
water These conduct their contents by
the natural fall of the pipe to five short
canals, which end in large reservoirs, and
by means Of strong pumps in iron pipes
the material is forced six miles to various
sterile tracts of land which surround Ber-
lin. We also visited the main city office
and one of the pumping establishments.
We then went by rail to Lutchenfc't

THE GIANTS OF PATAGONIA,
The Tales OF Sailors Turn Out To Bt
True, After All.


The tales Of their gigantic stature, sc
often told and as frequently denied, are
thoroughly investigated in This memoir
and with a result that will be interesting
TO anthropOlJgists.
Careful measurements have been made
in recent times, by different observers, Of |
many individuals in various parts of Pata. |
gOnia The result is that the mean stat
ure of adults (Of both sexes It would ap.
pear is found to be l.fS meters, or five
feet ten inches English. "This mean, " re.
marks the author, may seem rather low
but if we compare it with that of France.
which is only 1.6j metres about five
feet five inChCs), and if we consider thatI
for all humankind the statistics give only
L5O meters (rather less than five feet seven
tnchcs), we shall perceive that this figure
represents in reality very lofty stature,
and makes the Patagonians the tallest race
Of men now existing. Men of six feet
French six feet three and half inches
English) are common among them; and
occasionally one is found who reaches
two meters, or six feet siN and q half
inches
This, however. is not all. The Pata
gOnian, ia the upper part Of the body, isl
of a huge build. His trunk and head are
large, his chest broad, his arms long and
muscular On horseback, he seems far
above the ordinary size of man. When
he dismounts, however, it is seen that his
legs arc disproportiouatcly short and slen.
der, they frequently bend outward His
walk is heavy and numbering. These are
the well-known peculiaritios which are
found in the Tartars and in all races OF
men who spend most of their time, Eke
the Patagonians, on horseback But it isl
only little over two centuries since the.
horse was introduced into this region
The natives who were first seen chased
the swift guanaCO and ostrich over their
immense plains on foot Such activity
required long straight and muscular legs.
1t is not too much to suppose that the
total change in their habits of life which
has occurred since they became q nation
of horsemen has detrQctcd at least two
inches from their stature Adding these
lost inches to their present height, we re
cover the giants who astonished the com
panions Of Magellan, and vindicate the
narratives which later writers have dis
credited We gain also a notable evidence
of the influence of natural causes iu mOdi

The Buoyant Power of water.

The human body weighs pound in
the water, and a chair will carry two
grown persons-that is, it will keep the
head above water. which is all that is
necessary when it is a case of life or
death. One finger placed upon a stool or
chair, or a small box, or piece of board
will easily koev the head above water,
while the two feet aud other hand may
be used as paddles TO propel towards the
shore.
1t is not necessary to know how to swim
to be able to keep from drowning in this
way. A little experience of the buoyant
power Of water, and faith in it, is all that
is required. We have seen a small boy
who could not swim a stroke, propel him.
self back and forth across a deep, wide
pond by means of a board that would not
sustain five pounds weight Children
and all others should have practice in the
sustaining power of water In nine cases
out of ten the knowledge that, what will
sustain a pound weight is all that is nee.
essary to keep ones head above the water,
will serve better in emergencies than the
greatest eXpertness as a swimmer

No More IntroduclIons in BOSTON.



Our =" best people are setting the ban Of
their displeasure upon the custom of in
Producing people to other people. Tho
social lines including guests who may b.

tightly drawn and an invitation TO pe0-

by any means involve the probability of
your becoming known to other guests
This is not taken to mean that you are
not ut liberty to "sCUpe acquaintance"
with any of the lordlv guests If you
choose TO make the attempt, but simply
that the hostess considers it no part of her
dIty TO impose your aCguaintauCcship
upon her other friends.
There are some old families here the
bearers Of prerevolutiOnary names and
pedigrees, who carry the absurd new no.
ton to a ridiculous extreme Many of
these families are as poor as church mice,
and have no little trouble to sCrape along
in their shabby geutility, but the way they
hold up their social superiority is some
thing truly agonizing. heard q bright
and cultivated young lady telling Of her
experience under one of these ancestral
root-trees the other evening, and, as she is
sensible enough TO enjoy the absurdity of
the whole pretentious custom, it gives her
friends no little healthy amusement.

some one to introduce you TO mel" Need
less to say, the presentation has not yet
