ed out an interesting account from the
Rev. II. G. Hamilton, Of Redwood,
Ohio, Of device which was employed
III his family, in his youth. In those
early and matchless days, every boy
learned well the art Of so covering

sometimes became necessary to 'bor
row fire." or carry 1t to a camp; and
in such cases the ordinary method
in which it was done is thus described
by Mr.. Hamilton:
When one Of US boys wished to carr.
dre to the sugar camp, or with US on
q hunt for rabbits, opossums, or coons,
we would get as much tow from a
hogShead in the barn as we could
carry In one or both hands. We would
fiatten this out into somewhat the
same shape as that Of one Of our
mothers shortcakes, lay the tow on the
hearth, and then drop into the center
Of it q good solid coal, about the size
of 8 hens egg. Then we gathered the
tow up into q knot with the coal IN
the center.
This made a tow-ball, with liv,
.oal in the center Of it. We prevented
the tow from burning by the pressure
Of the hand; and in this way could
carry live coal for several hours
When everything was ready to star
. fire, We opened the tow-ball and
ehus gave the fire air; and the result
was thai the tow took fire, blazed up.
and set fire to the kindling provided.
But we had another use for our ball
= 81 fire and tow We called it a''warm-
handler" When the weather was cold,
and our mitS were bad, or we had
none, we would make these tow-balls
and carry them with US as We Went
from place to place.
We could put our hands, in which
re held the balls, in our pockets, and
thus have q miniature stove in our
HWampuS," or our trousers pockets.
Our hands were thus protected from
The cold, and we were ready at the
same time to start fire at a mo
ment's notice.
am sure that I could carry a bal
If fire and tow with me a distance of
sixteen miles, and then start fire IN

and in the meantime have cheap
device that would put lady's muff

Where the Giants Come From.

" OcEctTQ0 GlAHCS SOAuo HEoAa'
Nearly every race has contributed to
iantisrn, but the English has furnished
lar the largest proportion, partly, per-
haps, because the English have always
been fond of seeing giants and paying
for the privilege, thereby drawing the
merit Of physical bigness, which has
always been modest, out Of its unde-
served obscurity. Next to the Eng
lish, the Irish have supplied the largest
number, but the Irish giant is rarely
grown nowadays, since that stock has
been drawn upon so heavily by Ameri-
ca. Germany and the United States
have supplied. each. eight or nine men
who have won publicity and fame by
their exuberant physique. 1t seems to
be the Central and Western States that
supply the American giants, and our
war records show that in these regions,
together with Maine and Vermont, the
average stature is the highest There
have been French and Italian, Negro
and Arab giants, but the number is
few. and it is evident that the tenn
perate zones and the large races sup
Div the most cases Of giantiSm. 1t is a
curious fact that since Biblical days
there have been no giants among the
