The philosophers ghost then prom

has been kept Farmer Fall does. not

Calico he'has been studying. up on the
subject of perpetual motion, which Sc
cret he fully believes he will some day
discover. Among his books the Bible
is favorite, and he declares that after
many headings of the Scriptures he

sis to Revelations, was written by one
man. He has copied the entire, Bible,
and written yoluminous notes in eX-
planation, as he says, OF its mysteries,

AS a result of his studies of Holy

AMERICANS ARE GIANTS
RgoDIe Wo lDP.MRs y
Philippine

The Puerto Ricans, who as rule are
rather undersized, ;lave reached the
conclusion that Americans are giants.
This idea is largely due to the fact that,
in the first regiments landed at Ponce
extremely tall men predominated. A
correspondent of the New York Sun
writes: Among the big and hand-s
some men of Gen. Wilson's staff is Maj.
Hoyle, the ordnance officer. He is tall
and although trim of figure solid. He
stepped into a native shop recently to
get some matches. After he had been
waited on and was about to go out the
proprietor beckoned to him. The
gesture Maj. Hoyle says, was such as
"a back country storekeeper in Ameri-
ca would use to indicate that he wanted
you to step into back room and try a
nip of moonshine whisky. Maj. Hoyie
says he has accepted such invitations
frequently. hut upon this occasion it
was his intention to refuse, and he.was
brushing up the Spanish in HRS mind
to say so when the mans manner OYER
came his scruples and he followed him
in. They went through winding pas
sage and presently emerged into back
apartment. Here, however, instead OF
finding bottle with whisky, clear as
water, such as the moonshiner makes.
there stood some platform scales, and
the shopkeeper, with anxious look, mo-
toned for Maj Hoyle to step upon it.
Maj. Hoyle may have been disappoint-
ed, but he did not betray it, and. being
good d-natured, he got upon the scales.
The native manipulated the weights un-
til the scale balanced at 1875 pounds.
Then with vide open eyes he looked
over the fine proportions of the major
and exclaimed in wonder: 'Mucha.

the whole town was oyerrun with rats
and everybody was in a panic over
their destructive work, d coasting
schooner came there for wood, and the
captain sold Ben WardeIl receipt for
killing the animals. For week or two
WardelI went from house to house sell
ing yeIlowish gray powder, which he
offered to give away if it failed to de-
stroy the pests. Then the rats began
to die. Their bodies were found in out
houses and cellars and in bitches by the
roadside. The smell was bad for
time, but the rats were gone and not
has been seen since The cOmPo-
ssition Of the powder remained Il secret

Castine druggist was naturally anxious
to know what killed the rats, and made
note of the articles which WardeIl
bought. He never asked for any kind
Of poison, but the drug vender believed
that he purchased more caicine plaster
than any ordinary man had need of
using. He mentioned it to Wardeli one
day, and the secret was out. The rat
killing powder was composed of Indian
meal and calcine plaster in equal parts.
The rats ate the mixture for the meal it
contained. Then they had a great
thirst. The water caused the mass to
