Something About Giants.

Old chroniclers tell wonderful
stories of the giants that used to walk
The earth, even as we read in the Bible
If Goliath, who was slain by the
youth David. In later days perhaps
.he most interesting book on giants
vas written by French scholar named
Henrion in 171s. This book asserted
;hat Adam, the first man, was 1913 feet
> inches tall. and that Eve was only
live feet shorter. After Adam man
oegan to lose height rapidly. Noah,
says NJ. Henrion, was about 81 feet
tall, aud Abraham measured not more
.han 30 Moses reached only the
Door height of 13 feet, and finally man
had to be contented with feeble little
trames from four to six feet in height.
Many huge human skeletons have
been found, according to report. 1t
is said that the skull of Chevalier
Rincon, whose remains were discovered
in 1909 at Rouep, held bushel of
wheat The shinbone was four feet
long, and others in proportion. Many
other similar skeletons were found,
one in Sicily that measured 800 feet
III lcHSbu LII tuC PtCoCho SChtViy,
however, it has been shown that these
skeletons were not of humans, but of
prehistoric beasts.
One OF the worlds famous giants
was Patrick Cotter O'Brien, who was
born at Kinsale, in Ireland, III 1861.
He was eight feet three inches tall,
and was the greatest giant OF his day.
He died in 1904. In the museum of
Trinity college, Dublin, is the skele-
ton of giant named Magrath, who
was seven feet eight inches high.
1t is an interesting fact that giants
as rule are both weak of body and
OF mind, while lwarfs are usually
keen -witted and healthy. A story is
told that the Empress of Austria in
the seventeenth century had all the
giants and dwarfs of the Germanic
empire assembled at Vienna. They
were quartered together, and fear was
expressed that the giants would ter
rify the dwarfs. The contrary proved
to be the case. The dwarfs tormented
and robbed the giants to the extent
that with tears in their eyes the giants
begged to be protected from them.
The usual circus and museum giants
of today are rarely over seven feet in
height, but they wear high-heeled
boots and high hats that add a foot or
more in height to their appearance

Cross-one of the most picturesque
objects in the southern skies. At one
time these stars formed part of the
constellation named the "Centa1r,"
which was once included under that
called cargo" the Great Ship, but
towards the end of the eighteenth cen.
tury the Southern Cross became o
constellation on its own account.
Nevertheless, its resemblance to a cross
must have been observed long before
this time, since an Arabian globe hae
been found on which an outline of a
cross is marked about this group oi
stars.
The longer bar of the cross points
nearly to the south pole, the situation
Of which in the heavens is not marked
by any brilliant star, but which is
about four aud half cross lengths
from the foot of the cross. For this
reason Alpha and Gamma are some.
times called the pointers. In fact.
the Southern Cross may be looked up
on as the hour-hand of the great
clock, which goes around once in
twenty-four hours, moving in the
same direction as the hands of clock,
unlike our Great Bear or Dipper in
the northern heavens, which appears
to go round the northern pole in
direction contrary to the hands of
clock. This is because the observers
face, when looking at the northern
pole, is turned in direction contrary
to the face of an observer in the
southern hemisphere turned towards
the southern poe.
Near the Southern Gross is an al
most vacant patch of sky, which is
named the "Coal-sack by early navi-
gators. In the Coal-sack only one
very small star can be seen with the
unaided eye, but the telescope reveals
many stars in that seemingly deserted
region, proving that the striking
blackness is due simply to the effect
of contrast with the brilliant ground
surrounding it on all sides. On the
northern edge of the Coal-sac is a
star of ruddy hue, known as Kappa,
but too small to be seen with the un-
aided eye. Even small telescope
fails to make one realize the splpndor
of the star; but when Sir j ohm Hersche ell
turned his twenty-foot reflector in its
direction, he was surprised to fad
Kappa the centre of a cluster of over
one hundred stars of all the colors of
the rainbow, contrasting wonderfully
with one another. He compared it to
superb piece OF fancy iewelry, while
Flammarion describes it as ga casket
of elittering gems.

small iron trucks to the levels. Upon

small iron trucks to the levels. Upon
these levels the blue ground is worked
until the gems within are extracted.
The process of extracting takes from
three to six months. The stones
found vary in size from pin-head to
the largest ever found-428a karats.
This largest stone when cut weighed
1884 karats. It is one of the ex-
periences of the mine owners that
they lose from ten to fifteen per cent.
of their product each year through
the thefts of employees, who, although
closely watched, still manage to get
away with their loot The punish
ment for stealing a diamond is fifteen
years imprisonment. All diamonds
except those which pass through
illicit channels, are sent to England,
the weekly shipments averaging from
40, 900 to $4,000 karats. The great
est outlet for stolen diamonds is
through the Transvaal to Natal,
where they are shipped by respectable
merchants.
1t is said of the Rhodes interests in
the mines that they take good care of
their workmen. They have built
model village called Kenilworth with
in the precincts of the mines. In this
village are cottages for the white
workmen. A clubhouse has been
built for their use and there is a pub
lie library. The equipment of the
mines is something remarkable. Each
mine has ten circuits of electric lights.
They consist of fifty-two arc lamps of
1000 candle power each and 691 glow
lamps of sixteen and sixty-four candle
power each, or total illuminating
power of about GA, 900 candles. Thirty
telephones are located in each mine
and over 100 electric bells to each for
signaling. The lives of the workmen
are insured and every precaution is
taken to make their condition tolerable.

Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana,
Texas and Ohio. Each of these States
grew in excess of 100, 900, 900 bushels,
while the total of Iowa was 254, $685..
$50 bushels. This year we are prom
ised from Kansas alone in excess Of
$50, 900, 900 bushels. Montana, among
the now States, grew the smallest
amount of corn last year, and Rhode
Island among the old States. In
Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, North
Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Wash.
ington all of the corn grown was con.
sumed at home, practically none of il
being transported beyond the county
in which it was produced. The other
States, according to the amount grown,
shipped corn to other parts of the
country and abroad. In price the
corn on the farms realized all the way
from sixty-six cents bushel in Mon
tana to twenty-three cents in Iowa,
the general average throughout the
country being % ITO cents per bushel.
In 1897 this general average was 1910
cents; in 1896 it was 81 $40 cents; in
1895 it was 25 $40 cents, and in 1894
it was 45 7-10 cents. In the latter
year (1S94) the production was short,
being somewhat more than twenty per
cent. less than last year.

How to Dress q Doll.

There are many simple ways of
dressing dolls whose clothes are not
made to be taken off and on, and
when dolls are to be given to quite
young children such clothing will be
quite as much liked as that of q more
elaborate kind.
A very easy way of dressing dolls
for the little ones is by using wadding
as the material in chief. Take a
straight piece of wadding of suitable
size, and bnttonhole it along the bot
tom edge with red or blue worsted or
Berlin wool. The former is the more
pleasing color, though u pale blue
will look we'll if there is sufficient
depth of tint in the blue. Join the
ends neatly and sew the skirt as it
now is on the doll
To form the bodice, take smaller
straight piece of wadding and orna-
ment it with buttonhole stitch as be-
fore. Make holes for the arms to be
put through, and stitch the bodice
neatly on the doll.
For sleeves, take two very small,
straight pieces of wadding, form into
cylinder shape, after buttonholing at
the wrist end, and join these neatly
to the armhole portion of the bodice.
The simplest way Of providing out
door garments to match this dress is
to shape piece of wadding TO form
hood and cloak all in one. Buttonhole
this round the edge to match the dress,
and tie it on by bow of baby ribbon
round the dolls neck.
A pretty muff will complete this
somewhat wintry looking costume and
will be made in similar manner to
the sleeves, with a large piece of
wadding. This way of dressing doll
is useful, economical and effective,
while there is little tinery to spoil or
get otlt of place. Trenton IN. j.

to some accounts, at the beginning of
hostilities were anxious no less for the
blood of Rhodes than for the rich
booty of the mines.
Cecil Rhodes is often described as
''the man who made South Africa"
Mr.. Rhodes was formerly Premier of
Cape Colony, and is certainly the most
prominent and powerful man in South
Africa. He has achieved that place
in twenty-six years. In 1873 he left
Oxford because of serious lung
trouble, and went to the Cape in
search of health. He is the youngest
son of an English clergyman, and was
born at Bishop Stortford, on July 5,
1853. He did not go to South Africa
to seek diamonds, but because his
physician had ordered change. He
continued his studies while living in
Natal, and returned to Oxford each
