ADAM WAS 1913 FEET HIGH
While His Consort Eve Measured
11S Feet From Top to Toe.

11S Feet From Top to Toe.
st Louis (Mo.) Republic.
/ have often wondered where Nj. Hen
rion, the French savant, got his data for
the curious Speculations he gives as to
the height and other proportions of
Adam and Eve. In his remarkable
work, 1.-The Degeneration of the Human
Race" published in IT'S, the learned
academician gravely informs his read
ers that Adam was 1913 feet and inches
in height, while his disobedient consOrt
was but paltry lis feet from the sole
of the foot to the crown of the head.
Of coulse, all who have read very ex-
tensiyely of Talmudic literature, or even
Baring-Gould's Legends of the Patri-
arch Prophets" remember the wonder
full stories told of how Adam was made ::
of his gigantic size, and how, after the
fall, his stature was reduced several
miles by the offended God himself. The
Talmud has this to say of Adams
height: HE was so tall that he stood
with feet on earth aud head in heaven
until God pressed him down at the time
of the fall" Rabbi Jhuda saws that
when he lay on the earth This body
completely covered it."
Another Talmudic story SAYS: t"To
judge how long he was, understand that
his body stretched from one end of the
earth to the other, and it takes man
500 years to walk that distance. The
angels were awed with wonder when
they saw that gigantic human being,
and bowed before him, crying. Holy,
holy. holy Then God reduced his size
by cutting off great chunks of flesh"
These are all absurd legendary stories,
of course, but where did Henrion get
his figures for the 123-foot calculation
mentioned in the opening?

A DRUNKARD'S BRAIN,
1t Actually ExhaIes Alcohol at an
Autopsy.

HI ACCually EXnaleS A1COnOl at an
autopsy.
ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Il was present at the autopsy of a
noted old 'rounder' of my town few
weeks ago." said John A. Holiday, of
Troy, N. Y, at the Lindell, and was
startled and shocked at what l saw.
The dead man was about sixty years
old, and had been the town drnnkard
for forty years. The doctors had sur
missed that when they cut his head
open pronounced smell of alcohol
would issue from the skull. l thought
it only one of those grim sort of Jokes
that the Escuiapians indulge in some
times when they are carving a fell
low man to mince meat in the in
terest of their science. But / soon
learned that it was no joke, for when
the surgeons saw had cut off the top of
the mans skull the odor of alcohol that
filled the room was strong enough to
almost siken one. Then one of the sur
geons struck a match and held it close
to the brain. Immediately a blue
flame enveloped the entire portion of the
cerebral organ exposed, and the CULVER
ing flesh sizzled as if on gridiron. That
experiment and disclosure set me to
very seriously thinking about the error
of my way. l am not a temperance lee
turer or prohibition politician, but
must most respectfully and firmly de-
cline your invitation to have something.
Idon't want my brain to float around in
a sea of alcohol, as did that of the poor
old town drunkard of Troy. There is
no telling how many other mems brains
will reveal the same condition if an au-
fOnSy is held uDOn themn

GOOD LUCK AT LAST.
John McHerOn "Struck It Rich
in q Ledge of Silver.

ooHu McHefOn "StruCk It KlCh''
in Ledge Of Silver.
This is the first piece of good luck
that has come to me in ffty-fve years."
SAID John McHeron, as he held up pa
per that neighbor had just read for
him. 1t was draft on New York for
$4,000. and came from Tucson, Arizona.
MIR. McHeron is carter. and has
hitherto been very poor with the addi-
t,onal burden Of an invalid wife. On
May 10. 1876. MeHeron's eldest son, Al
eXander, left this city fur Denver. He
was molder. but caught the gold fever
III the Rockies, and did not work at his
trade, but wandered through the
mountains from the Rio Grande to the
canadian frontier, and suffering was
his lot, and only once had he
any luck. He was crossing the
mountain near Cimarron, Col. on
foot. driving his pack mule. when he
was suddenly halted by man, pistol in
hand. McHeron made rush at him.
The robbers pistol snapped and the
next instant he got a whack over the
head from pick handle that disabled
hin. MeHeron tied him and took him
into Cimarron, where he was at once
recognized as noted road agent named
Turner, who was wanted badly by the
Wells u Fargo people for robbing the
express and killing one of their mesSen-
gers. McHeron got $1,000 for this.
In 1850, in company with a number of
prospectorS, he was crossing the Sierra
Madre range in Northern Arizona. The
road was very rugged and the company
scattered. Suddenly from ravine
came shower of bullets. bringing
down four men. The party at

but, with the exception of the young
Mexican, all were dead. and the Next
can, although shot through the body,
had concealed himself behind a rock,
and so escaped the Apaches. McHeron
brought the Mexican away, and the
kindly act was the beginning of his
good fortune. The young man was the
son of Gov. Gonzales, of Durango, and
Was enormously wealth.
McHerOn went to Mexico with Con-
zales and was made superintendent of a
silver mine near Cullacan, worked by
all English company. He was there for
the mountains for stray mule, his eye
was attracted by the appearance of a
mass of rock which jutted out of the
mountain side.
On examination he found it to be
argentiferouS, but it was only after
getting home and making an assay that
he was fully aware of the value of his
find. The rock gave $1,000 silver to the
ton.
Aided by his friend, Gov. Gonzales. he
secured 5000 acres of the ground, paying
about so cents per acre. He associated
himself with wealthy English CON-
t.n Nl,fx
vicinity. Mr.. McHeron in the month of
May last realized $4,000 net, and he
fully expects to have an income in 1892
OF not less than 100000
Mr.. McHeron Sr. will at once leave his
present residence in Pluca del Plua and
make his home with widowed daugh-
ter in Dauphin county.

DOUGHERTY'S SURPRISE.
Capen's Ill-Luck in the Globe
Billiard Contest,

The interest in the GLOBE billiard
tournament intensifies as it progresses.
Dougherty. the Minneapolis candidate,
is the only aspirant that remains with
out defeat. Last evening. however,
he had narrow escape. Indeed, it was
almost phenomenal, and the result looks
as though he had more good fortune
than any other player in the entire
galaxy. He met Capen, a performer
capable of brilliant work, and
Capen had the plucky Minneapolis boy
defeated to standstilI and then fell
down. In six innings Capen failed to
score more than i've, and he lacked Just
four of game. Capen found the balls in
close play and any amateur should
never have made miss, but-well. it
cannot be explained. Capen did not
count and Dougherty run his % points
and secured the game. Therefore
Dougherty maintains his lead and
Capen must acknowledge two defeats
to the other string of victories.
Dougherty's high runs were %, Is and
IL. while Cspen's were II and II.
In the afternoon Estes achieved a
victory over Bingham, 100 to So. 1t was
contest full of features, and several
times in the course of the play the con-
testants passed each other. Estes high
runs were II and II and Bingham's
were Is and Is respectively. Glow went
TO another victory handily. He de-
feated Ronold 100 to IS, and his high
runs were 10, 10 and IL, while Ronold
failed to scorein double figures. Thayer
finished the programme Of the day by
defeating Summers, of the Windsor.
100 to sc. This contest excited great
deal of interest and comment, and at
one time it looked pretty safe for Sum-
mers. Thayer's bigh runs were IL and
IL, while Summers high run was Is.
This evening Thayer will play Sny-
der, and this promises to prove one of
the features of the tournament. Both
are hard workers, and both are posi-
BILE winners of the challenge cup.

FIGHTING "A COUGAR.
A Brave Pioneer Woman Who
Has Trouble With a Beast.

Centralia News.
We want to tell our Eastern readers
what some of our brave pioneers and
their wives have to contend with in the
woods of this extreme West.
The other day MIR. Mattson, living out
on section 4, township Is, range 8, had
business away from the cabin and left
his wife in charge. The place is only
about four ana half miles west Of
town. yeta little after noon an immense
cougar approached within fifteen feet
of the door of the cabin and made a
rush for the chickens.
The MattsUns owned fine big dog,
who at once made dive for Mir. Cougar,
and compelled him to climb tree for
safety. Mrs. Mattson sailed forth with
her husbands trusty rifle ard fired
seven shots at the enemy, but. owing to
the height OF the tree, failed to hit him.
She had one more cartridge, but her
Western training taught her to save it
in case of emergencies. After the ces-
sation OF Mrs. Maltson's fusilade the
cougar lightly ieaped from the tree and
made for the woods, the brave dog in
close pursuit. Reaching his native
jungle, the wild beast recovered cour-
age and turned on the dog. For an
hour and half they fought their bloody
battle, with done to Interfere. Mrs.
Nelson. neighbOr. heard The sounds
of the war and hurried to the scene
with another gun.
Owing to an intervening log, which
she feared to mount. she was unable to
take badly-needed shot, for the faith
full dog was getting sadly the worst of
the unequal fight. Meanwhile Amer
Stevens and Myron Durga heard of the
went to the rescue of the canine pro-
tector of the Mattson homestead. They
found the dog dead and the cougar
calmly making meal of his carcass.
He was freed and shot and found to
measure seven feet in length. The
beautifully-marked hide was given by
the men to Mrs. Mattson as a reward
fer her bravery in daring to attack so
powerful an animal.
