As to Giants.

There has been no subject concerning
which more lies have been told than
about giants. Until it was found that
modern men could not be squeezed into
the armor at the Tower, it was taken
for granted that we had degenerated in
size. This is not only not the case,
but in the matter Of giants we have the
advantage of our predecessors. The EN-
peror Ma1iminian indeed was said to
have been SO feet high, but ancient
mensuration, especially in the case of
an emperor, is not to be trusted; in
deed, from its not having made him
taller, it is certain that there was no
one else nearly SO tall. Orestes, it is
true, we are told, was 10 feet long-aft-
er death, but he was not thought so
highly of when alive; we may reasona-
bly, take s feet as his ultimatum. Lon

AN APPEAL.
The Cushing's Island Award VIII be Taken
to the Circuit Court of Appeal by the
Hotel Company

1t now appears that the report that no
appeals would be made in the Cushing's
Island cases was premature. The Cush-
ings' Island Hotel company are not at
all satisfied with the $4,000 allowed them
for their easements in the property to
be condemned, and the papers are now
being prepared for an an appeal to the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals.
1t is understood that the other parties,
including Mr.. joni *. Robinson Of
Chicago, will now appeal; but their
cases will have to await the result of
the hotel company's action.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Josef slavinski.

Josef Slavlnski, the Polish pianist,
who Is now absorbing the attention of
the musical world, was born in Warsaw
in 1866. He studied with Srobel at War
saw Conservatory and afterwards at
Vienna with Leschetizky. and finally
with Rubenstein at st. Petersburg. Last
May he captured london with his play
ing. He possesses the Slavonic tempera-
ment of poesy united to the German depth
of feeling. His method is much akin
to that of Paderewsky, who won so many
admirers. He is an artist of extraordi-
nary ability in the management of keys
and pedals. In New York his perform
ance was heightened by the accompani
ment of Herr Seidl, and his magnificent
orchestra.
Slavinski will give two recitals at City
hall, February 18th and 18th. The sale
of seats will begin next Saturday at
Stock BRIDGES.

Brave Man.

How completely questions Of courage
or cowardice depend on circumstance
and habit Is we'll illustrated by story
which returning traveler from Italy
tells of a scene he witnessed near Flor.
ence. CHANGING to walk through a field
where company of strolling mounte-
banks, who had with them some cages
of wild beasts, had been giving an ex-
hibition, he heard sounds OF distress.
terror and pain issuing from a tent
His first thought was that some one
was being torn to pieces BY infuriated
animals, and thinking that he might
render assistance, he entered the tent
There he was astonished to see man
in fantastic garb, his legs clad in lone
hose, being beaten over the shoulders
by womon, who held him by one arm
He was struggling hard to get away.
At one side of the tent was a cage
containing two large and ferocious-
looking lions, which were snarling and
threatening and lashing their tails as
they witnessed the fray between the
man and the woman.
"Take that, you wretch. and that
and that r. screamed the woman, strik'
ing the man again and again with the
whip.
The man howled with pain and ter
ror, and then succeeded in breaking
away from the woman. He rushed
straight for the lions cage, with hel
after him he reached the door first
opened it. sprang IN, and curled up be-
tween the two lions.
At the cage door the woman stopped
1t was evident that she dared 20 nc
further. Meantime the man assumed
an erect posture and defiant attitude
"COWard Miserable wretch J! the
woman screamed, tauntingly. Il dare
you TO come out of that lions cage r
1t was perfectly evident that the man
dared not come. He was professional
lion tanner, and the king Of beasts was
accustomed to trembfe under his gilt
tering eye; but woman with d horse
whip had been able to put him tc
ignominious flight, and and driye HIM
into the lions den /
The scene was too much tor the
traveller. At the risk Of being consid.
cred ungallant toward so brave lady,
he burst into laughter long and loud.
