TAllEST OF ALL LIVING MEN.
European Scientists are Intersstd in Resident
OF Minnesota.

inc 'oiNtb ith'AH
The biggest living man is Lewis
wilkins, who is now arousing great in
terest in the scientific circles of Eu-
rope. wilkins WAS horn on a farm
near st. Paul, Mimi, in 1874. When
he was but 10 years Of age he meas
ured 6 feet in height and now has
grown to the tremendous height o.
1911 inches-just three-quarters of
an inch less than nine feet-and
weighs 36i pounds.
There have been other tall men and
women before wilkins, and scientists
have striven in vain to account for
these freaks Of nature. Only lately
plausible story has been put forward
by a French physician, DIR. Marie, who
says that gigantism is nothing more or
less than a disease This disease gen.
orally occurs in patients between the
age OF Is and 50, and is first called
"acromegaly" Crom two Greek words
meaning enlargement of the extremi-
ties.') If the patient is not attacked
until after he is Is the ends of the
bones in the arms and legs are CHI
larged and prolonged slightly, but if
this disease has attacked a child at or
soon after birth gigantism is the re-
suit. The bones are prolonged all
along their length, grow unnaturally
and the result is a giant.
When you see big man it is there
fore question whether he is unusu.
ally strong or whether he is a sufferer
from acromegaly. All giants have
not been acromegalic, according to
DR.. Marie. He mentions two giants
in the French army who did not be-
long to this class. One was Charles
Freuet, a cavalry soldier, who was 6
feet IL inches, and another was Mar
nat, a drum major in the Nineteenth
regiment of infantry, who measured 6
feet 8 inches.
Perhaps the greatest giant who ever
lived before wilkins was Charles
Byrne, an Irishman. He measured 8
feet inches. His skeleton is still
preserved, proving beyond question
his enormous size. He was probably
acromegalic.
Other giants are Constantine, born
at Zurich, in Switzerland, s feet l
inch; Herold, born at Leipsic, Z feet 5
inches, and Lady Emma, 8 feet
inch

AdIai Ewing Stevenson. Democrat.

One of the open secrets of the first
Cleveland administration is that, upon
the retirement of Postmaster General
Bissell, the Great l Am refused to pro-
mote Mr.. Stevenson to the head CT the
department., though he had made an
enviable record as First Assistant
Postmaster General and was on every
account entitled to the place. Cleve-
land objected strongly to Mr.. Steven
son on account of the latter's position
on the currency question. This was
then we'll known, though some of our
friends seem to have forgotten it more
recently. Mr.. Stevenson has been
from the beginning OF his career q
strong advocate of financial reform.
He was first elected to Congress, a
quarter of century ago on a Weaver.
Greenback ticket. When silver took
its place among the live issues he be.
came a silver man" and in this posi-.
ton he has remained ever since.
Mr.. Cleveland's antagonism, especi-
ally ON such grounds, is the best posi-
BILE recommendation to the esteem OF
the Democracy. 1t is no secret that

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that "a man, who is
naked can't give away his Shirt" is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got. The man
can't give free medical advice" or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got a medical education and a certificate
to the fact, in the form of a diploma.
And in this particular a woman has no
more privilege than man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by DIR. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical H.
stitute, Buffalo, N. ", has been initiated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give "medical
advice" that word of caution is neces-
Sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not ply
sician. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors so
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is Just as
much difference in doctors as in artists
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these "artists" gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet. There was only one
Millet.
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as DIR. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write to Dr. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DIR. Pierce, by letter, free Such con-
situations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

To cleanse frying-pan, pour in
little vinegar, heat it over the fire and
all odors will be removed.
Always keep spices for household
use in tins, and shut them up tightly
as soon as the required quantity is
taken out.
Wooden spoons in all sizes should
be supplied for the kitchen, for they
are superior to all others for every
thing but measuring.
To prevent bright pans from being
blackened by smoke, rub them with
fat before putting them on the fire.
Wash with hot water and soda, and
they will be quite bright.
When washing glassware do not put
it in hot water bottom first, as it will
be liable to crack from sudden expan-
sion. Even delicate glass can be safe
ly washed in very hot water if slipped
in edgewise.
Damp weather acts quickly upon
food, and care is necessary to prevent
waste. BY placing two-pound jar of
lime in the pantry or larder the air
be kept sweet and dry. Meat can be
kept in good condition for many days,
if hung in a current of air and covered
with muslin which has been wrung
out in vinegar. This should be re-.
newed each day.
FOOD POINTS.
In making drip coffee allow ono ta-
blespoonful of coffee TO each cup of
water.
In making a salad bear in mind that
the different parts should not be mixed
together or with the dressing until
serving time.
In estimating the amount OF chick
en- salad to serve a company, the pro-
portion of five large chickens 10 thirty
persons is a safe one.
Turkish cooks always serve lemons
with eggs, thinking that a few drops
of the juice sprinkled upon them not
only add to their flavor, but decrease
their tendency to create a bilious con.
dition.
A wholesome and sufficiently hearty
breakfast for children from to IL
years of age is dish of well.cooked
oatmeal into which, while it is hot,
bananas are cut up, the whole being
served with cream and no sugar.
In making the filling for a cocoanut
or custard pie there will be less chance
of having soggy crust if the milk is
brought to the scalding point and the
eggs and sugar stirred in before put.
ting in the crust. This will shorten
the time of cooking by half.

Remember These "Don'ts."

Don't dress shabby in the morning
because no one will see.
Don't show less courtesy to your de-
pendents than you would to your
equals i'll position.
Don't take the world into your con-
idcnce either about your troubles or
your family affairs.
Don't forast to be gentle and re-
spcctful to the aged, even when they
are fussy and tiresomc.
Don't critici>e the food at meal
times.
Don't refuse ungraciously when
some one offers to do you favor.
Don't, when travelling by train or
car, behave as il you were the one per-
son who had right to be there, and
the rest were all interlopers.
