which the following extracts are given:

he is still growing rapidly, and experts
say he will be one of the largest men who
have ever lived
As is so often the case, the parents of
the young giant were people of ordinary
stature, and. so far as he knows, there is
no record in his family of monstrosity
like himself. He was born in an Egyptian
village, where his parents were well-tO-do
people. He began to grow rapidly when
very young and soon surpassed his father
in height. He is perfectly proportioned
and of unusual strength. He is a fairly

rather prominent ears and lips, full,
rounded chin and Il small nose

RUIN OF THE CHIFFONIER.
Disappearance of One of the Prominent

Disappearance of One of the Prominent
Features of Old Paris.
The chiffoniers of Paris have lost their
trade. says Blackwood's Magazine; at
least it has become 80 modified that they
no longer pursue it in it's ancient form.
The waste and dirt from every house used
to be poured out into the street before the
front door each evening at or 10 o'clock,
and the chiffonier with his lantern and his
hook in his hands and his basket on his
back, arrived at once and raked the heaps
over to see what he could find in them
But it became forbidden either to throw
the refuse into the street or to bring it out
at night.
1t was prescribed that it should be car
ried down in the early morning in box,
which is placed, full, ut the door, and is
emptied before o'clock in the dust carts,
which 20 round each day. The chiffon
iers. therefore, have no longer the oppor-
tunity Of picking over the dirt, for it has
ceased to offer itself in an accessible form
they have, for the most part, to carry on
their trade after the refuse is discharged
from the carts at the depots, and conse-
quently have almost disappeared from the
streets. They cannot be regarded as a
loss, for they were. of necessity, dirty and
bad smelling. and looked, as they prowled
about with their dull lanterns in the dark,
like specters Of miserable evilness. But,
all the same, they were thoroughly typical
of old Paris.

Duslly BriRht's Birthday.

"Come out here, Bushy," cried Tom,
the morning after the party had reached
Yellow Pine mine. "Do you know what
day it is?'' Bushy was having a romp
with Rover, and the two came dashing

him down. "Ha, ha. ha!' laughed Tom,

It was known in the United States mar
shal's office at Nashville, that wildcat
whisky was coming down the Cumberland
river. The marshal was new in office, said
Opie Reed, and, therefore, was deter
mined to do his duty, which, of course, was
to see that the illicit distilleries, no matter
how remote, should be destroyed and that
the distillers should be brought to justice.
His predecessor in office had been likewise
determined, and had sent brave men to the
mountains, but whisky had continued to
come down the Cumberland river. The
present marshal, Capt. Hayes, an old
Confederate officer, said that he thought
that when the boys found out that he real
" wanted them to quit they would do so.
He understood them, he knew their ma
lures, their impulsiveness and their dispo-
sitiOn to yield to persuasion. So he sent
deputy and four men to tell the boys to

November Harper's, the Cossack is the

is disappearing, and for the same rea-
sons. Mr.. Bigelow believes that in the
event of great European war the Cars
favorite cavalrymani would be unable to
ststain his reputation as fighter. This
degeneration is attributed by Mr.. Bigelow
to the efforts to civilize the Cossack, who
has been subjected to a military disci-
pine that recognizes an official caste,
whose numbers have been diluted by the
admission of outsiders, and whose spirit
has been broken by the necessity of till
ing the soil. Mr.. Bigelow places the num-
=berSof cavalrymen that the Cossack could
muster at the present time at. $50, 600.
