Dr. Thomas Wilson is curator of the
department of prehistoric anthropology
of the Smithsonian Institute, at Wash
ington, and is engaged in writing a
paper which is the outcome of his ex-
perience and observation there. The
subject of the paper is giants, ancient
and modern. There is little or no au-
thoritative scientific information about
giants, and not until within the last
few years have these men or women of
abnormal growth received any atten-
tion from ethnologists or psychologists.
DR.. Wilson has been quoted as saying
that the giants Of nursery tales are
described as strong, bold, cruel and vo-
racious, while as a matter of fact they
are generally weak physically, not
cver-intelligent, good-natured, and
rarely evil-minded. The paper of DIR.
Wilson will be read with great deal
of interest, especially by those who
have visited the Smithsonian Institute.

The women OF St. Louis, as well as
Wilmington women, want representa-
tives on the school board, and as the
simplest way of solving the vexed ques-
tion Of masculine monopoly of school
management, the former have had
bill drawn which, If passed by the Mis-
souri, Legislature, will put an end to
the same in that state. The bill pro-
vides that no school board shall be
composed of more than twelve mem
bers, and that in all towns, cities and
school districts, the governing body
of the schools shall be composed of an
equal number Of men and women. This
is a tip" for the Wilmington women,
who can certainly advance as many
good reasons as their Western sisters
why such a bill should become a law.

GiISOnite Trust.

A Washington dispatch says: There
is now in sight the information of a
greater and more remunerative mono
poly than any of the gigantic trusts
heret fore organized to control a
specific industry. This new combina-
ton OF capital will seek to obtain pos
session of the gilsonite or asphaltum
beds of Utah, easily the most valuable
in tee world. There is in sight for
this new monopoly the acquisition of
property worth hundreds OF millions.
The representatives. of wealthy
New York syndicate and the agents of
the SIT. Louis corporation now engaged
in the gilsonite trade are preparing to
struggle for this fabulous stake. The
cost OF the land under the mineral
laws, or sold in the usual way by the
government would be but a tritie COM
pared with profits. Congress is eX-
pected to stand between this new trust
ind the people, but the only alternative
in sight seems to be government owner
ship, and there is little hope of saliva
tion from that source.

Evaded the Law.

A curious case of smuggling on the
Mexican border lines was dis covered
recently by government officials at
Nogales, Ariz., and equally curious ac-
ton has been taken to suppress it. On
May last, land about Nogales was
declared subject to entry and among
those who took advantage of the right
was a man who made a tOwnsite selsc-
ton directly on the International bOr-
der lire and Immediately erected a
large house thereon with doors on both
sides. By this means, according to Of
fetal reports, the laws were evaded by
backing up teams loaded with Mexican
goods to the rear door of the house
which did not require crossing the
line and the goods were then taken out
of the doors on the A meric IN side and
carried away. The case was reported
by the collector of customs and he ask
ed thai 70 town site be allowed, unless
there was street set apart along the
bcrde T to prevent this evasi6n.

Teaching Thrift to the Young.

The plumber OF minors who become
depositors in the postal banks of coun-
tries having the system in operation is
very large. 1t is principally for the
purpose of encoura ging children to
save that provision is made for stamp
deposits.
In Great Britain, for instance, the
smallest deposit which will be received
and entered in psssbook is l shilling,
or "a cents. However, small Ter amounts
may be saved by stamps, A child with
penny may buy a stamp and affix it
to a card. When this card con aims
twelve stamps it can be deposited as a
shilling, and the depOsitOr is entitled
TO receive a passbOOk. This arrange
meut makes the institution very
popular among the children, and is so
Convenient as to stimulate them to
make use of its advantages. In addi-
ton, the schools are frequently made
use of as agencies of the postal bank
for the co lection of savings. The
teachers receive the deposits OF the
children and turn them over to the
postal bank authorities. Belgium is
one of the countries in which the
activities of the saviugs bank are eX-
tended to the schOOlrOOn, Out of HI
primary schools, inclusive of infant
schools and the schools of primary in
struction attached to educational lnst!-
tutions of other classes, there We're
4,79S which took part in the savings
bank business. The number OF chill
dren in those schools possessing de posit
books was l54, 1872, of whom Sc, 300 were
boys and 81, 1888 were girls. IEcludiug
the schools above primary grade there
were, according to recent report.
1855 schools of all kinds in which 200
SIT pupils had saved 3,73i ,4O2 francs.
Most of the schools of Belgium, there
fore, it may be S aid, teach thrift. and
economy with their instruction in the
elements of education.
The spectacle of the postotfioe OF
country being used as means for
teaching the young the value of saving
ard intoxicating in them habits that
will be of great use to them in later
life should make every thoughtful per-
son an advocate of postal savings

THE NEW INHALANT FOR CONSUMPTION,
CATARRH And BRONCHITIS.

Doctor Glass. who has spent the last
three years in the west testing his
wonderful Inha' ant in the different
climates and attitudes, will be here
during the winter months to give his
treatment final test. The doctor,
after treating more than three hun
dred patients, feels perfectly safe in
making the statement that he can
positively cure in the first stages 80
per cent, second stages 80 per cent,
and third stages 30 per cent. The
proof of the permanent cure is they
can live in all parts OF the United
States, after. or even during treat
ment with no bad re su is. DR.. Glass
asks 70 one TO take his statement. All
b e asks from the most sceptical Is TO
give the treatment q trial or investi-
gate. Medical men are especially in
vited to call and investigate, aud if
the decor can not convince them tn at
he has covered all points laid down by
DR.. Thompson, of New York city, the
doctor will quietly acknowledge it and
say to the public MS treatment is a fail
ure. Otherwiie the medical meo, for
the sake of poor, stuff sring humanity,
should either recommend the treat
ment or at least keep silent. The pro-
fessiOn says why not be professional
with the treatment. Answer, simply
because the profession wont ackuowl-
edge any thing it is unable to do it
self. DR.. Thompson aud other leading
men of the profession say if an Inhal-
at can be discovered that possesses
the following qualities tuberculosis
CAN BE CURED: First, it should be
strongly antiseptic. Second, it should
not be Injurious to the lung tissue or
its org a ism. Third, it should pos
sess pie ,sant taste and smell. Fourth,
it must not produce nausea or loss of
appetite if use d for q considers BILE
time. 1t has been proven beyond
doubt the New Chemical Inhalant pos
sesses all these qualities. With constitu-
tional remedies restoring the general
health, there is no reason why con-
sum p'iHn can not be cured. A thor
ough examination with full Gescrip-
tion of the treatment free. Office SOL
