Drinking Saratoga Water.

1t is an interesting sight to sit for
fifteen minutes in front of the counter
where the water is handed out to Wis
itors. Especially is this sight inter-
esting during the forenoon when the
regular visitors have crawled out of
sight in their rooms at the hotels and
thirty or fifty car loads of excursion
lists pour into the park. Bilious-lOok-
ing old men drink with more of an eff
fort than all other corners. They in
variably gulp down half glassful of
water, lean heavily on their canes, or
place their disengaged hands over
their stomachs as the case may be,
roll their eyes spasmodically, and act
just as if they feared the water would
result in an explosion on assimilating
with unknown fluids in the gastrOno-
mical region. Anon an old lady viii

Will close her eyes, make wry faces,
and shake her head after the manner
that a terrier shakes rat. An aged
gentleman was observed to declare
that the Saratoga mineral waters
didn't taste as good as the water in
the old we'll on the farm" SUlll an
other grew indignant and announced
Needn't think cause / look seedy,"
he shouted with righteous wrath,
THAT I'm "A fool. | want some of the

Consolation FOR Shorties.

Men of the present day have no oc-
casion to feel Inundated because they
are not taller and larger than they are.
There is no reason, in the discoveries
of science, for the supposition that
men, as whole have ever had a great
er average height than they have now.
For long time, at Rouens, in France,
near the junction of the lsere and
Rhone rivers, there existed deposit
of gigantic bones which had long been
known as the Giants Field" In
recent times, says a San Francisco
paper, bones have been exhumed there
which were believed to be human, and
which were said to be those of Teuto-
dus, the King of the Teutons, who was
overcome near the spot by Marius, the
Roman General. The researches of
Cuvier, however, proved that these
bones, together with all the others ex-
humed in the same place, were those
of the dinothertatna gtGnteum, an ex-
tinct animal of the tapir species, which
measured about twenty feet in length.
The myth of race of giants had its
counterpart in those other creatures of
tie imagination, the pigmies. These
tabled people, who were SO small that
stalk of grain was a tree to them,
hatchets and brush-hooks, were said to
inhabit ETHIOPIA. They We're always
ut war with the cranes, but lived on
such excellent terms with the partrid-
GEES that they were able to harness
them into their carriages. They lived
at first, according To the fable, in
Tbrace, but were driven out of Europe
by the cranes, and took refuge in
Ethiopia. 1t is now commonly sup
posed that the pigmies were nothing
more nor less than monkeys of small
size, like the murmOSet. The pigmV's
warfare with the crane was probably
the one grain of truth which survived
in the tradition. The stories of pIg-
mics belong with the fables of the
giants. The men of ancient times
were of the same or neatly the same
height as those OF the present day.
The doors of the ano ent houses, the
ancient armor, the Egyptian num-
mics, as well as the bones of fossil
men, prove that there has been little
or no variation. Among famous tall
men was the Roman Emperor Maxi
min, whose stature was seven and
three quarters feet. MaXimin was
young barbarian, the son of Gothic
father, who first attracted the attention
of the Romans by overcoming sixteen
of their strongest men, one after an
other, in Il wrestling contest, and,
having been made a centurion, fought
and intrigued his way to the Imperial
throne. The normal stature of men
and women ranges between four feet
ard six feet four inches. Those who
exceed the latter height may be called
giants, while those who are below four
feet are called dwarfs. There have
been dwarfs scarcely one foot six
inches in height, but even these have
been considerably taller than the tabled
pigmies of antiquity.

The H,.b-Trapeze Woman.

The circus woman who rushes into
the ring, bows, catches a strap with
her teeth, and is naulcd to the top Of

gle swingiu trapeze-bar, has no sine

Horrible SeIfTorture.

The Hon. George CurzOn, writing of
the religious fanatics of the Kairwan,
tells the following story in the Fort
niqhtkV ReUielO: From the crowd at
the door a wild figure broke forth, tore
off his upper clotning till lie was naked
to the waist, and throwing away his
fez barred head close-shaven save for
one long and disheveled lock that,
springing from the scalp, fell over his
forehead like some grisly and funereal
plume A long knife, somewhat re-
sembling cutlass. was handed to him
by the sheikh, who had risen to his
feet, and who directed the phenomena
that ensued. Waving it wildly above
his head and protruding the fore part
of his figure, the fanatic brought it
down blow after blow against his
barred stomach and drew it savagely TO
and fro against the unprotected skin.
There showed the marks of a long and
livid veal, but no blood spurted from
the cash. In the intervals between
the strokes he ran swiftly from one
side to the other of the open space,
taking long stealthy strides like
panther about to spring, and SEEM
ingly so powerless over his own move
ments that he knocked blindly up
against those who stood in his way,
nearly upsetting them with the vio-
lence of the collision.
The proves or the piety of this
ardent devotee proved extraordinarily
contagious. FIRST one and then an
other of his brethren caught the
affiatus and followed his example. In
Il few moments every part of the
mosque was the scene of some novel
and horrible rite of standardization,
performed by fresh aspirant to the
favor of Allah.
Several long iron spits or prOngs
were produced and distributed these
formidable implements were about
two and a half feet in length, and
sharply pointed. and they terminated
at the handle in a circular wooden
knob about the size of large orange
There was great competition for these
instruments of torture, which were
used as follows: Posing one in the air,
an Aissaoui would suddenly force the
point into the flesh of his own shoulder
in front, just below the shOulder-blade
Thus transtixed and holding the weap-
on aloft, he strobe swiftly up and down.
Suddenly, at signal, he fell on his
knees, still forcing the point into his
body and keeping the wooden head
uppermost. Then there started up
another disciple armed with a big
wooden mallet, and he, after few
preliminary taps, rising high on tiptoe
with uplifted weapon, would, with an
appalling yell, bring it down with all
his force upon the wooden knob, driv-
ing the point home through the
shoulder of his cOmrade. Blow sue
ceeded blow, the victim wincing be-
meath the stroke, but uttering no
sound, and fixing his eyes with look
of inetfable delight upon his torturer.
till the point was driven right through
the shoulder and projected at the back.
Then the patient marched backward
and forward with the air and the gait
of conquering hero. At one moment
there were four of these semi-naked
maniaos within "A yard of my feet,
transfixt.t and trembling, but beauti-
fed and triumphant:

They Got Married Anyhow.

In this correspondence last week an
amusing story was told of the difficult
ty which certain official experienced
in trying to decipher his own hand
writing. A number of gentlemen
were talking over that story in front
of the Ebbitt House last evening. when
one of them said: That reminds me
of story which Lot Morrill, once told
me of his own writing. 1t was at the
time when Maj. Dunn of the army was
paying attention To the Senator's
daughter. The young people had
come to an understanding, but Miss
Morrill, thought that papas consent
ought to be obtained before they pro-
ceeded further. Maj. Dunn wrote
nice letter to papa, in which he re-
quested that the future of the young
lady might be confined To his care.
Senator Morrill, could read the sigma
ture, but the rest of the letter was
worse than Greek to him. He devined
its contents, however, and at once
wrote a reply, in which the desired
consent was given. Dunn took it to
his lady-love, with the remark: Here's
your fathers letter. What does he
say?' eagerly inquired TIE young lady.
Il have been trying to find out ever
since received it, was the answer.
but can make nothing out of it.
Miss Morrill, tried to read the note, but
she, too, failed. Never mind said
the lover, we will get married any
how And they were married. Mrs.
Dunn had both those letters framed.
She says there is not person on earth
who can read either of them. - Wash

The SUREsT TEsT.-The home life
of Christian has been fifty called
the 'surest test of his piety, When
abroad, like soldier on parade, he
is conscious that the social eye is
watching him, and therefore, he
Ike, ps himself within the requirements
of his religious profe sion. When
within his own home, like a soldier
off parade and in undress and free
dom of the barrack-room he is apt
to act out his real self and to reveal
dispositions elsewhere held In re-
straint. Hence it becomes every
believer to seek character that will
endure the fireside test, since he
who is not Christ-like when under
his own roof-tree is not really Christ
like at all. Therefore that disciple
does well who, on going to his bust
pess, says, with David, II will be-
have myself wisely in perfect way !"
but he does better who, to such a
resolution adds this other good pur-
pose of the psalmist, Il will walk
within my house with a perfect
heart"
