The Patagonian Giants.

The tales of their gigantic stature,
so often told and as frequently de-
MED, are thoroughly investigated in
this memoir, and with a result which
will be interesting to anthropologists.
Careful measurements have been
made in recent times, by diffe, ent
observers of many individuals in va
rious parts ofPatagonia- The result
is that the mean stature Of adults (oi
both sexes, it would appear is found
to be about LIS metres, or five feet
ten inches English. This mean,
remarks the author may seem rath
er low; but if We compare it with
that of France, which is only Les
metres (about five feet five inchss),
and if we consider that for all hu
mankind the statistics give only 1.70
metres (rather less than five feet sew
en- inches), we shall perceive that this
figure represents in reality very
lofty stature, and makes the Patago-
mans the tallest race of men now e1-
isting" Men of six feet French (six
feet three and n half inches English
are common among them; and oc-
casionally one is found who reaches
two metres, or six feet and half in
ches.-Science.

Hunting Bees.

A Pittston, Pa, bee hunter, relates
the following in the Philadelphia
Times, of June 18th inst, as his way
of hunting bees: You catch a bee
lowering over a flower Place him
in a box partially filed with sugared
water. After while let him go and
he will fly away to his hive in some
tree, may be miles away. Move your
box in the same direction short dis
tance. The next day your first bee
will be back and with him at least
another bee. They will load up and
fly back to their tree and next day
bring back dozen. In a day or two
more you will have the whole swarm.
You advance daily with your box
and it will not be long before you
will have located the hollow tree fill
ed with snow white honey. We've
often taken out of one tree as much
as one hundred pounds of the purest
honey. 1t can be taken as soon as
the flowers are no longer in bloom.

Cam phOr as Preventive Of Cholera

There has been a great increase
in the sale OF camphor lately" said a
druggist the other day. "My sales
have doubled since the papers noted
the fact that the homeopathic ply
sicians recommended camphor as a
cholera medicine. People are wear
ing the gum in little bags suspended
over the chest by a ribbon around
the neck 1t is selling at from twen-
ty to twenty-five cents pound, and
in some stores for more.
where do you get the stuff"
THE camphor sold in this market
comes chiefly from Japan. Formosa
and Borneo furnish some. 1t is OBJ
tanned by cutting up the champion
plants, leaves and all, and distilling
them. There is another kind found
in the heart of an enormous tree
which grows in the mountains Of
Borneo. The trees are cut down and
split open, and the gum is picked
from the centre. Sometimes Jumps
yard long and three inches thich
ere found, but twenty pounds is q
good quantity for the average tree
The Chinese have a great liking fol
this quality, and have been known
to pay as high as $30-a pound for it
though the difference between it anC
common camphor is most imaginary
The crude csmphor has to be redis
titled before it can be used."-Nortl

PEOPLE who have been condemning
Governor Pattison for vetoing the
apportionment bill, had their criti-
cism brought to sudden halt on
the l1th inst. 1t was proposed in
the Senate to pass the apportionment
bill over the Governor veto. A
number Of Democratic senators vo
ted with the Republicans to pass the
bill over the Governors veto. 1t
was not believed that the bill could
fail in the House, but when the bill
was brought into the Assembly,
enough Republicans voted against it
to defeat the bill. Such action on
the part of Republicans, has caused
the extra session critic, and the crit
ic of the Governors apportionment
vetoed bill to become silent. The
excuse of the Republican~members
in voting to sustain the Governor
veto, is that they did not get the
districts in which they live joined OF
formed to suit their views. Suppose
the Republicans throughout the State
to be governed by such q principle
when they go to the polls what
would become of tie ticket?

Judge Linch At Wsrk.

| BoxHAM. Texas, June "a lynch
ing occurred here at o'clock yester
day morning. At TIE hour named
the jailer of the county Was awakened
by some one rapping gently at the
front door Hearing no unusual COM
motion outside, the jailer opened the
door and was surprised to find over
one hundred masked men standing
before him. As he opened the door
the leader grabbed him, and thus
they gained entrance. Once inside
the Jail the mob had the jailer at
their mercy, and under the influences
of couple six shooters the jailer
gave up his keys. Proceeding to the
cells occupied by Sam Dyer and his
brother Eli Dyer, white men, the
murderers of Sheriff Rsgsdale and
Deputy Sheriff Buchanan, of this
county, they entered the cells, iden-
titled their men and then stuffed their
mouths with pocket handkerchiefs.
After tying their hands they hurried
them outside, where the main body
of the mob stood. The jailer says
scarcely q word was spoken during
this proceeding. With the prisoners
at the head of the column they march
ed to spot only three hundred yards
from the jail. The leader gave the
order, .'Halt, Texans" and there un.
der the boughs of an oak tree dang
led the two ropes. The handker
chiefs were withdrawn and the lead
er asked the doomed men if they wan
ted to pray or had enything to say.
Sam begged piteously for his life,
fell on his knees, moaning and weep
ing. He said he had been a very
bad man, but that Eli had killed both
Ragsdale and Buchanan. Eli main
tanned bold front and would say
nothing except Its no use." Neither
would pray, and this being over, two
large men came forward, each raised
one of the murderers from the ground
while the moose was being adjusted
and they simultaneously let go and
the desperadoes were kicking and
struggling in the air. They died
from strangulation. When the bodies
were found this morning they almost
touched the ground. The mob quiet
ly dispersed. The coroner took pos
session of the bodies and laid them
out in the court house, where per-
haps two thousand people viewed
them to-day. The verdict OF the cor
oners jury was, Death by strangu-
lation at the hands of parties un-
known" An uncle Of the murderers
came into town today and took the
bodies home.
The crime for which they were
lynched was committed on May 10th
last. For two years Eli Dyer had
been the head of a gang of about
twenty cattle thieves. Sheriff Rags
dale with Deputy Buchanan at the
head of a posse, learning that a por-
ton of the gang were some nine miles
south of town, rendezvoused in
small house, arriving at the spot Rag
dale and Buchanan approached the
house, leaving the posse behind. AS
they reached the door the gang dis
covered them and Eli raised his rifle
and killed Ragsdale at the first shot.
Buchanan was mortally wounded and
died the next day. Eli was also
wounded bv a shot from Buchanan's
pistol. Sam Dyer escaped at the
time and fully five hundred men
were hunting him for several days.
He was finally found hiding under a
corn crib.

A War Upon PrOhibitionists.

which has been brewing for some
time over the enforcement of the pro
hibition law eliminated last night
in the organization of mob, armed
with revolvers and stones, and at

rocks through the windows, accom-
panied by volley of bullets from re-
volvers fired in reckless disregard of
the sleeping family within.
Taking the direct road to the vii
lage, the mob next stopped at the
house of John W. Frost, trial JUS
tice. Here shots we're fired into the
house, where women, children and an
old man were sleeping. Fortunately
no one was hurt, but the window,
were demolished The house of G.
ID. Roberts was next entered. Here
also the windows were smashed anc
the furniture damaged. The resi-
idence of Wilson Cheney, aprominen
clothing dealer, was also treated to {
volley of rocks.
The final effort of the mob was
made against the Office Of the Advo
cate. The editor of this paper sleep
in the Office. A perfect fusilade wa
kept up and bullets rained into th,
room The editors only offence ha'
