How to laundry linen as it is done in Troy,
n. Y, has been kept a secret long enough;
il can and should be done in every family.
The Electric Starch is the only starch in the
United States that is put up by men who
have a practical knowledge of the laundry
profession. 1t requires no cooking, keeps the
iron from sticking and linen from blistering
while ironing, and gives shirts, cuffs and
collars that stiffness and beautiful polish they
have when new, which, everybody knows
keeps them clean twice as long. Beware Of
imitation. See that the name G. HUBIN-

The Stature Of Great Men.
y. Y, Sun.

/
This is a subject with respect to
which young man of New York
asks us to give him information:
In discussion the other night
claimed that Il majority of the
worlds great men were of large
stature. Am | right
The men who are commonly ac-
counted great may be Of either small
Or large stature Samuel j. Tilden,
the foremost American statesman of
our period and man Of extraordin-
ary intellectual breadth and capac-
ity, was short, slight, and through
out his life delicate in health, though
with a strong vitality and much
nervous force. Mr.. Gladstone is a
tall man and SO also is Bismarck,
but Disraeli was of middle heighth
only, and Napoleon Bonaparte was
short, while Wellington was not-tall.
Jefferson was tail, thin and angular,
but Alexander Hamilton was slight
and considerably under middle stat
ure, Franklin was short and fat and
Peter Cooper was only about five feet
six. Commodore Vanderbilt was
tall and commanding, but Jay Gould
is short and unimpressive in his
physical appearance. Grant was
short and so also was Mcclellan
Farragut was rather small man,
but Robert 4. Lee was of COM
manding stature, as was also Charlie
mango, but Hannibal was very small
and Julius Caesar was not above
medium height.
These, we suppose, are men whom
you would call great, but, You see,
some Of them were short and only a
few were remarkable for their stat
ure. 1t might perhaps be said gen
orally that such men are more apt
to be under than above the average
height; for what you call greatness
largely depends on capacity for con-
tinuous application, and, on the
whole, the most enduring men and
the best proportioned are apt to be
those of medium stature, if not
those somewhat under the medium.
But, really, there are no great
men Of either large or small stature.
There is no man who stands in all
respects above his fellows, and whom
we should call great if we knew the
Limitations of his character and the
1 history OF his shortcomings. If the
exact and particular biography OF
every man accounted great was writ
ten without attempt at glorification
OF cxtenuation, we should find that
be was only poor and feeble NOR
tai, after all, and that what wesat-
tributed TO him. as bis alone was
largely the contribution of Others
who had lent themselves for his
building up, or Of whose ability he
! had taken advantage. We should
find that we had been worshipping a
creature of our own imaginations,
and not real man of flesh and
blood, And that is more especially
true of the men who become popu,
lar heroes-the great soldiers, fol
instance.
All that we can say is that in Ger
tain qualities, moral or intellectual
one man towers above his fellows.

Origin of the Dead Head.

"Just mark that ID. H." said Gen.
eral Manager J. w. Schrange, of the
Erie Express, the other day, as
brought in package to he sent to
New York. "You see you'rea a dead
head as u newspaper man and il
won't cost you anything?n
THAT doesn't approximate to
deadbeat, l hopey"' as i
No, not at all. A deadhead is
another kind of an individual. You
know how the term originatedg No:
You've heard of Mr.. ID, H. Coyille,
of Chicago?'', aa.g '
Yes; be was Mayor of the town
once.' ara ,a
That is the man. He was at one
time agent for the United States Ex-
press Company, and he used to re
ceiye a great number of personal
express packages, which, of course
were free. Well, he got so many
that the clerks got tired of writing
on them sd. H. Colvllle, Free and
they would just chalk down ID. H.
Everybody around the office knew
that that meant it was for Mr.. d.
II. Coville, and that nothing was to
be charged. Finally all free packa'
ges came to be mnrked Nd. H. and
at last some smart chap translated
the letters as standing for dead
head 1t is very expressive term
