Giants in those Days.

Cornelius Jones' a well-known anC
 wealthy land owner of Spercerville
 Allen county, in this city on busi ness, said:
 By the way, there was remarka ble discovery of prehistoric remains in our section the other day. The instance came under my own ob- i servation. Last week l had occa- sion to visit the farm of J. Henley, about two miles west of Kossuth, just across the border in Auglaize county. Some workmen were en- gagged in digging we'll, and had descended to depth of thirty-two feet when they struck a gravel drift from which they exhumed gigan- tic skull 3S inches in circumference. Further down the other bones of the giant were found. There can be no doubt as to the kind of re- mains. The thigh bone measured 3 feet ? inches in length and the spinal column is f feet ? inches long. All the bones were in an ex- cellent state of preservation and were probably those of q prehiStor Ic warrior who was killed in battle, as the skull seemed to have been crushed with a blunt instrument. The whole skeleton measured 8 feet 114 inches in height. and when clothed with flesh must have been tremendously powerful man. A huge stone ax weighing twenty seven pounds and q flint spear head of seventeen pounds weight were found with the bones, and were, no doubt, swayed by the giant with the greatest ease. A copper medallion, engraved with several strange char acters, was also found with the bones.
 This startling discovery proves the Biblical assertion that there were giants in those days The scientific value of the discovery is also great and may lead to some interesting developments" ."- Gin cinnati' Times-Star.

The Hair and Health.

Physicians assert, and it seems at
 least reasonable, that the condition
 of the hair is an index to the health of the owner; that a scanty growth indicates impaired vitality, that where the hair is thick, glossy and rich in color 1t indicates bodily vigor and health, and this is un- doubtedly true. Another alleged cause for the scanty growth is the custom of keeping the head closely covered, and this is supported by the fact that the peasant women of Europe, who work all day in the fields with little or no covering to the head, have the most luxuriant growth of hair. It Is quite proba- bIe that both of these hypotheses are correct. Certainly the Breton peasant girl, toiling in the field with the brawn of muscle and of endur- ance fully equal to that of her brother, enjoys a degree of health greatly superior to the larger DOT ton of our country women-al- though we are not quite prepared to adopt that form of life, no, not even for the sake of beautiful hair; but 1t is quite possible, ny care and painstaking, to preserve and inn prove that which we have.-Good Housekeeping.

Deep Water at Corpus Christi.

Corpus Christi. Tex, June 15-The problem of securing deep water on the Texas coast without Govern ment aid seems to be near solution here. Col. Ropes enterprise to connect Corpus Christi Bay with the Gulf of Mexico by means of a ship canal cut through Mustang Island is progressing rapidly and satisfactorily. The dredge boat at that point are clearing over 200 feet per day. At that rate, according to the engineers statement, the gulf will be reached within A days, when the waters of the bay and gulf will meet. This will give an artificial channel deep enough and wide enough when completed to admit the largest seagoing vessels. An engineer visiting this city, who was sceptical of the probability of the success of the work, after a thorough inspection, declares the plan not only feasible, but believes in it's certain and early success.

The volume of trade in the month of May must have been nearly, if not quite, the largest ever recorded in any month. Outside New York
 the increase over last year was about p per cent, thong'i little less at the principal cities toward
 the close. In five months ending with May, the increase has been
 13.2 per cent, so that the gain on the first five months of the year during the last five years of con- tinued expansion of trade has been 723 per cent. for every $l00 paid through clearing houses outside New York in 1885 during these months, about $172.5O has been so paid in 1S90.-New York Tribune.

According to the terms of a mort gage held by the Scottish Mortgage Co.,, the interest of the Storneroad Brothers in the Beck grant and all of the cattle in their brand were sold at public sale last week in Las Vegas. The mortgage company bid the property in for the amount of the claim and accrued interest, about $50,000. Protests were made against the sale of any cattle not branded exactly as specified in the mortgage and before the final settle ment ofthe case there is likely to be some interesting litigation, reuqir- ing decisions on several new ques- tionS on the subject of mortglgel cattle.-Springer Stockman.

A Montana Mans Regret.

| Six men of us had come out O the mines in Montana to take { train for the East, but the train we intended to take met with an acci dent and was several hours late The station was a small one, the weather very bad, and after a while one of the party went to the agent who was also the telegraph opera tor, and asked how long before we might expect the train.
 "Dunno," was the brief reply.
 "You don't We'll, then, find out F exclaimed the other.
 "When 1 do I'll let you know"
 "Oh, you will, eh? Now, then, you ask Roseburg if the train has left there yet
 "I'll be-if I do?"
 One man out with his gun and was going to shoot, but two or three of Us drew him away and talked to him and finally cooled him off. The most solid argument we ad- v;inced was that if he killed the op- orator we could get no news of the train and would be even worse off than we were. This argument was what decided him, and five hours later the train came along and we got aboard. We were all seated to- gether and had got a fair start when someone observed
 That operator had d narrow es- cape"
 Yes, 1 meant to shoot him." re- piled the man who bad pulled his gun, but these gen,len,cn argued that in case 1 did we could not hear from the train at ali.
 "Thunder!" grasped q third. "Why, I'm an old operator myself, and had you shot him 1 was all ready to locate that train in five minutes"

Col. Bill Snort, as we'll known at the White House as Petroleum V. Nasby was at the Confederate X Roads, writes to his old friend Dan McGary, of the Houston (Texas) Age, on the subject of pensions as follows:
 How would it do to pension every body. Pension the war correspon- dents who did all the hard lying. Pension the army contractors. If they did not contract rheumatism they contracted something else pro- bably. Pension the soldier who ran so hard he lost his wind. Pension the man who lost hls arms on the field of battle, no matter if the arms were two six shooters, and a frog sticker. Pension the herolc cuss who served during the entire war as waiter in d Canada restaurant. Let the whole world understand that the real object of war is the attain ment of pensions. Pension the scrub who left an impaired consti- tuition to his children. Let every body understand that not the pen but the pension is mightier than the sword. Pension the woman who wears a small hat in the theatre and the mar that does not go out between drinks. Pension the dude who never went 10 the front and never smelt powder except when he kissed society girl. Let us pen sion everybody and be done with it.

The WIte Arrested.

Another chapter has been written in the tragedy which has for forits main feature the murder of Domin- go Montoya last November. It will be remembered that MontoYa was found dead by the side of a half skinned COW. Certain circum- stances and developments led to the indictment and arrest of Flor encio GallegoS and Eluterio Baca as the murderers, and those parties are now in jail awaiting trial. On Wednesday Sheriff Nowlin and Capt. Roberts returned from the Manzano country, bringing with them Juana Sebadra, the wife oi the murdered man, who will have to answer to a charge of being an acc ,ssory to the murder. The main evidence against the woman is said to be in letter which she recently wrote to one of the prisoners.-Lin- coln Independent.
