In Trinity college, Dublin, is still pre-
served the skeleton Of Cornelius Nc
Grath, who after his death, at the age
of "a, was found to measure Z feet 8
inches in height. When Is years of age
he was attacked by violent pains, which
were Mt first supposed to be rheumatic,
but which were sfterwarl surmised to
be growing pains, for during one year
he grew from the height of 5 feet
to that of 6 feet S and "a inch.
es. A boy l6 years Of 2 of that
extraordinary size naturally attracted
IA great deal Of attention, and a crowd
Of men, women and children always
followed him whenever he showed him
self in the streets Of Cork. His hand Is
described ns about the size Of an ordi.
nary shoulder Of mutton; the lasts on
which his shoes were made measured
fifteen inches in length; but for all his
bulk he was very moderate in eating
and drinking All the Year Round.

The following incident, which 90
CURED in 1856, is related by Herr Won
Hybel in the fourth volume of his book,
''The Founding of the German Empire
by William l." During a dinner at the
Saxon embassy, in Berlin, Countess
Hohenthal, the wife of the ambassador,
said naively to the Russian premier,
who sat next to her, do tell me, ex-
~cellency, is il really true that you want
to fight with Austria and take SaxonyT
Prince Bismarck answered, with great
amiability: Certainly it is true, dear
est countess. From the very first day OF
my ministry | have thought of nothing
else; our cannons are nov ready, and
you will soon see that they are more
powerful than the Austrian artillery"
Dreadful" cried the lady. But"
she added, ''as you are in so frank a
humor give me some friendly advice.
| have two estates. To which shall !
fiy-to the one in Bohemia Or that
near LeipzigT' IF you will listen to
me" answered Prince Bismarck, you
will not go to Bohemia II is there, and
II l am not mistaken, it is exactly In
the neighborhood of your estate that
we shall meet the Austrians. You
might experience some terrible adven-
lures. Go to Saxony. Nothing will hap.
pen near Leipzig, and you will not even
be troubled with quartering soldiers,
for your castle of Kuauthelm is near no
line of march"
When the ex-chancellor was afterward
anxiously questioned by other diplomat
lists a to this conversation, he was
much amused that the mocking repulse
of an indiscreet question should be
taken seriously. But Herr Won Buest,
remembering his long enmity against
the policy of Prussia, really took upthe
matter in earnest, sent the important
news to Vienna. demanded Austria's
protection, and declared that If Aus
tria would arm at once all the middle
states would stand firmly by her, but
that otherwise they would turn their
backs on her forever. This conmuni-
cation from Herr Won Buest was not
without influence in the decisions Of
the military circle in Vienna. The
troops in Bohemia, Moravia and West
Galicia were strengthened, so that in a
very short time SO, 900 men were ready
to invade Silesia from three sides, while
before only Is, 900 men were divided
among the usual garrisons.

Flowing In Peru.

The land is plowed In the following
manner; From six to a dozen teams Of
oxen are put at work in a single field Of
twenty or thirty acres. The oxen are
''yoked" by tying a heavy beam across
their foreheads. To this beam the pillow
Is attached, all the force being applied
by the head instead of the shoulders.
The pillow is a crooked stick or branch
of a tree, the point faced with iron.
The Hebrews, when they titled the soil
In the time Of Moses, had a pillow made
In the same way. Intelligent Peruvians
contend that they do not need to plow
more than two or three inches deep
simply enough to loosen the soil so ~
70 enable the seed to take root.
The water used in irrigating is said to
be rich in plant food, further obviating
the necessity Of deep blowing. 1t may
also be added that improved plows,
suitable for this country, are now manu-
featured in Europe and the United
States, but it goes without saying that
they are very different from the pillow
used by an American farmer. They
are light and small, having a close re-
semblance to the original crooked stick.
Another popularity of every Peruvian
pillow is that it has only n handle.
The driver carries in one hand a largo
goad, twelve or fifteen feet in length,
with which to touch up his team, and
he manages the pillow with the other
hand.-Minister Hicks.
