death of Clement w., in 1870.

quickly back to the sick room.
"Mr. Fox, hate to ask sick man

began the general superintendent, hur-
riedly, "but we're tied up here hard
and fast, and every minute that train
stands there the company loses thou

He broke of abruptly and pressed
his hand in a dazed way to his brow.
Then he fixed his excited eyes upon
his wife. The other men followed his
gaze, plainly regarding him as out of
his head. But Sylvia turned pale and
leaned against the wall for support.
She had caught her husbands mean

She'll take the train, sir!" exclaim-
ed Fox, eagerly, land she'll take it

The superintendent gasped and star
ed at the young woman. She stood
with her dilating eyes fastened upon
her husband, her chest rising and fall
ing, and blood red tongues of returning
color shooting through her cheeks.
Yet even in that critical moment some
thing in Sylvia's eye-something hard
and stubborn-fixed the skeptical
superintendent attention. Sylvia,
with twitching nostrils and swelling
throat, turned upon him almost des-
perately.
II will co." she said, in low voice,
"but someone must stay here with

This young man will attend to all
that, never fret" cried Howard gaily,
turning to the night operator.
Sylvia returned from an inner room
after an absence of scarcely sixty sec
onds. She bore herself with the firm,
subdued mien of one who knows the
gravity of her task, yet has faith in
herself for its performance. One Of

Valley Junction twinkled family
through the swirling flakes. A broad
band Of light from the night operators

too, was thickly powdered. Aside from
this, the scattered houses of the little
hamlet slept in darkness-all save one.
Through the drawn curtains Of q
cottage which squatted in the right

the station, light shone DULY. In

young woman was yet more striking.
Her loose gown, girdled at the waist

seemed an habitual earnestness of pur-

seriously. After a moment, though,
she shook off her pensive mood. What

HE is 7 feet 9 inches in hight and
can therefore beclassed with the larg.
est giants that have ever lived"
AS a matter of fact all the giants
who have been exhibited in Europe
up to the present time were from ~
to So inches shorter than Machow.
Their hight was between feet 10
inches and feet inches, according
to documents placed with the Anthro-
biological society by the late Prof.
virchow. The showmen, however.
always exaggerated the hight in adj
vertisements.
Feodor Machow comes from an old
Russian family, whose ancestors are
said to have emigrated to Russia
from the south, probably from Syria.
His parents, as well as his two broth
ers and one sister are all Of normal
size. His grandfather was large, but
in no sense giant. It is said, how
ever, that in earlier generations of
the family large specimens occurred.

one of them. The ring which adorns
the index finger of Machow's right
hand is so large that a half dollar

A steel spring mattress of extra

MAGNETIC Persons.

Prof Murani, distinguished Italian
scientist, says that certain persons
possess strange magnetic or electric
influence, which produces very curious
results.
A few days ago while he was at
work on some electrical experiment,
one of his friends suddenly entered
the room, and at the same moment
the needle of his galvanometer moved
to and fro very rapidly. He was sure
that his friend had in one Of his
pockets either a magnet or some other
electrical instrument, and in order to
convince him that he was mistaken his
friend removed all his clothes. To the
Professors surprise the galvanometer
continued to act just as though pow
erful magnet was near it, and the
closer his friend approached the more
marked its action became. Moreover.
