Lies About Giants.

There has been no subject concern

that modern men could not be squeezed

it was taken for granted that we had

not the case, but in the matter Of
giants we have the advantage of our
predecessors. The Emperor Maximil-
ian. indeed, was said to have been

cient mensuration, especially in the
case of an emperor, is not to be trusted:
indeed, from its not having him made

The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider a
dead body impure, and they will not
suffer themselves to defle any of the

their cOrpses to vultures, a method re-

but one which commends itself to all
those who are acquainted Herewith.
And, after all, one sees nothing but
the quiet, white-robed procession
