Two Giants.

Cajanus, Swedish giant who was 8
feet high, was on exhibition in London
in l742, and several old handbills still
exist which set forth the measurements
of this freak of nature. Thirty years
later we have Charles Byrne, who was
8 feet inches in height in his stock
inged feet He, however, died young,
at the age of %, from hard drinking.
Cotter O'Byrne. another Irish giant,
followed a few years later. He was
born at Kinsale in 1861, and at the age
of 10 was feet high. This by the time
he was 23 had increased TO 8 feet
inches, and then he changed his name
TO O'Brian, in order to make people
think that he was descended from King
Brian Boroihme. and went on exhibition.
At that business he, of course, soon
realized very comfortable fortune and
retired-dying at Clifton on Sept 8.

his body should be thrown into the sea

Medical Effects of ELECTRICITY.

In recent communication to the So
ciete Internationale DIES Electricians
concerning the therapeutic and physio-
logical effects of high frequency currents
M. d Arsonval showed the powerful in
ductive effects which can be obtained
with these currents A striking expert
ment consists of placing three lamps in
tension, allowing the current to pass
through the body. These currents cause
no sensations, and a man placed in o
circuit does not feel that he is traversed
by the currents which brilliantly illu
inmate the lamps. The principal results
OF this identification are an augmenta-
tion Of the oxidatiOns in the organism
and an increase in the production of
heat. A subject who, under ordinary
conditions, eliminates IL TO 81 liters of
carbonic acid per hour throws off 81
liters after having been submitted to
this action. High frequency currents do
not act solely upon the surface of the
body, but also profoundly upon the in
terror. All of these results have been
obtained upon number of subjects by
NM. Apostolic and Charrin.
M. d'Arsonval cited, in closing, the
action exercised upon microbes and bac-
terra by these currents. The microbes
and bacilli are mouified, and the tox-
ines are killed and transformed to vac
cine. MN. d Arsonval and Charrin hope
by this method to arrive at a direct
treatment for the interior of the bodies

ease, and experiments to this end have

Custorna In Hunxary.

At the beginning Of the century the
hagnats, OF higher aristocracy Of Hun
gary, lived in semiregal luxury.
Their official court dress, which is quite
oriental in its richness and splendor,
alone recalls the feudal period OF the
Hungarian aristocracy. Their country
chateaux are lordly in nothing but
their hospitality. If stranger drives
mp in his carriage 10 the entrance door
of Hungarian chateau, Immediately
and before any questions are asked con-
corning the visitors business, even be-
fore the master of the house has made
his appearance, legion of servants
rush forward and carry the visitors
baggage to one of the half dozen rooms
always ready to receive guests, invited
or otherwise. Twelve o'clock is the
usual time for dinner, and four or five
empty seats are always prepared for
guests who might arrive. When the
Hungarians wish TO honor more partic-
ularly guest, IA succession of 10 or 30
courses are served at dinner, but as the
Magyars have in everything the ut
most respect for individual liberty, no
guest is ever pressed to eat or drink.
After dinner guests and hosts take a
long drive over the estates of the cha
teau or pay visit to the neighboring
castle. If it is Sunday, visit is
made to the nearest village, where a
peasant country dance is in full swing.
Supper at the chateau takes place be-
tween and s, after which dance is
given or whist party is INDUCED in.
The next morning everything is silent
in the house until 10 O'Clock. Much
as in England and Scotland, break
fast is taken when one pleases, at no
fixed hour. During the whole morning
the noble owner of the mansion is ex-
tremely busy. The upper Hungarian
aristocracy still manage the business
details of their estates themselves, and,
as may be imagined, this is no small
work, since many of these domains are
larger than some petty German states.
Such is the everyday life of a Hunga-
rian nobleman. In winter he generally
goes with his family to spend few
months in Budapest San Francisco
Argonaut.

TO CURE

A New Remedy Which Will Do It.
Chronic dyspepsia is considered by
many people 10 be nearly if not quiet
incurable. No good reason can be CIV
en- why they think so except that per-
haps they have tried various remedies
without much, il any benefit. But The
progress in every branch of medicine
has been such that mons other things
a lasting cure for indigestion in its
chronic form as well as temporary has
been discovered and is now placed be-
fore the public strictly on its merits as
a permanent cur FOR all stomach trou-
bles or difficulties with the digestive or
gans.
This new treatment is called S;uart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. being put in tablet
form so as to be easily taken and also
20 preserve its good qualities for an in
definite length of time.
This remedy has produced surprising
effects in the worst forms OF indiges>
ton, and in many cases where ordinary
remedies failed to give even relief,
Stuari's Dyspepsia Tablets have fully
cured.
The splendid results from using this
preparation are owing to the fact that
ii is prepared and intended for dyspep-
STA and stomach troubles only. 1t is o
a cure-all like so many advertised rene,
dies. claiming to cur everything under
The sum-, but it is claimed that it is a
certain cure for Dyspepsia and any one
suffering from any form Of indigestion
cannot fail to get permanent relief and
cure from its use.
1t is so prepared and the ingredients
are OF such a nature that when the tab
lets are taken into the stomach they d.
gest the food no matter whether She
stomach Is in good working order or
not. You get sustenance and strength
10 mind and body by reason Of the food
being properly digested and at the same
time the much abused stomach is allow
ed to rest and recuperate.
Notwithstanding the great benefits to
derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. the price is but SOC for full sized

were attacked by a mob OF strikers who
were egged on by 80 or more women
