BREEDING GIANTS.
French Experiment That Recalls the

French Experiment That Recalls the
 Project of Frederick the Great. Among the various remedies to arrest the de- cay of France 1t is proposed 10 offef prizes for large families, the remission of taxes to people who have a number of sons. the extra taxation of childless families and bachelors; and one interesting plan Is to make bachelors ineligible for official positions under the Gov ernment and the municipalities. Another in- genlous gentleman suggests that married men and fathers of children be exempt from nili- tary service and that the French army be limited to bachelors only.
 Other induce ments have been proposed, and
 1t is rather apropos that just at this time,
 when so much interest is being excited in
 this subject one of the professors of the Uni-
 versity of Chicago should be fortunate enough to discover the food of which giants are made.
 This discovery has been recently published in
 France and attracted much attention.
 Some time ago Count Alfred de Pierrecourt
 left legacy of S2. oo0, 900 to his native city of Rouen to pay the expense of experiments for the propagation of giants. His heirs raised
 a row about 1t and appealed successfully to
 the courts. which have recently given them three-fourths Of the estate and retained one fourth of it ample to carry out the ideas of the deceased.
 Under the supervision of the municipality an institutlon for raising giants is to be estab-
 llshed with the income of $500. 600. The trustees are to search the world for men and women of large stature and are to pair them
 off in couples and place them in the homes
 upon farm near Rouen. It would be a
 good idea to feed them on the stun which the | Chicago professor has been wasting on white
 rats. If he can double the AlE0 oe a Whlts FTenehmen.

Mind Impaired and Nerves
 Shattered From Excessive Mem
 tai Strain.
Dr. Miles Nervine Gave
 Back My Health.

It is not always severe manual labor that breaks down the health. Mental strain, worry, anxiety, the cares ot business or the home, have an equally strong tendency towards undermining the nervous system, upon whose vitality the health of the body depends. When you find yourself unduly fretful, anxious, easily excitabie; when your sleep is troubled and you can get no rest; If you have frequent headache, are losing your appetite and are getting thin, you should be- gin at once a thorough course of treatment with Dr. Miles Nervine. There is no nerve tonic so good, so sure, so safe. It speedily restores the weakened nerves to healthy action, and builds strength and tissue,

Credited to Captain smith,
 There was once upon a time well Tn this endorsement, but it has been the about filled up. It is even stated by some that Captain John Smith had hand Tn building the fort, with it's queer vaults and rooms. The stonework and masonry Is of too high an order to have been done by the men who were in any Of these parts with Smith. The large doorway which leads into the basement has cut fin the center stone .17S5," but 1t is be- lieved that the figures have been doctor ed, and the first three should be five, for if MT. Carlyle built 1t in that year he began his work of housebuilding whe he was scarcely in his teens. While the question of the foundation of the house having been an old fort is in dispute, there seems no doubt that the house prop CT was built by MT. Carlyle in t16S with brick and Portland stone. brought from the Isle of Wight by vessels coming to Alexandria for tobacco, thls, being then one of the largest tobacco markets in the world. MT. Carlyle evidently em- ployed the most skilled men of the sev- eral trades, for the work in plastering, stucco work and painting is in excellent condition, even after a century and half. In the blue room. where the congress was held, time has dealt gently with the wo.N of the artisans and 1t is still really beau- tifuI room, as is also the ball room, just across the large hallway, where the faI ther of his country danced the ynInu t with Alexandria's beautiful maidens. In the hallway there stands a grandfathsr sr clock, which licked the time for more than a century in Carlyle house, then one of the finest mansions in Virginia. A few of the old chairs, hall seats, tables and other pieces of furniture are In the rooms, and in one corner of the family room Is a spinet which was made by George Ulshoefer. German musician, who made the first piano in New York in l7S5. But in every room throughout the old mansion there is something which speaks of former days, and it is the deteE3 imitation of the women and men wito have formed the new historic society to see that future generations may enjoy them even more than the present gener- ation. which has been excluded. on ac- count of the shutting in of the manson by the hotel.
 There has never been an old house with out It's ghost story attachment. and the Carlyle house is no exception, but it's ghost story perhaps antedates all others in Virginia. Eight headless negroes, sO the story goes. have been seen holding high carnival fin the courtway between the Carlyle house and the Braddock hotel. These. it is asserted, are the ghosts of eight negroes who were hanged in lT6T on the lot where Christ church now stands. They had poisoned their master, and after their bodies had been hung up as a wa=n- Sns to other negroes they were beheaded
