HIGHLAND RECORDER.
Monterey. Va. Frid sy, May 10 l9ot

"Earlv to bed, early to rise,
makes man healthy, wealthy and
wise," is one of the prettiest glng-
ling old aphorisms we haye, and It's
trnthfulness is generally accepted.
But how rarely do we see fellow
who has gotten there "early
enough to lay claim to all three OF
the conditional blessings. We Of
ten find the stoutest, most robust
and healthy" fellow devoid OF
wealth and Knowledge. Among
the rich we find physical paupers
and men possessing a very small
measure of SOlomcn's stock in
/ trade. There is true and real
wisdom, in the attainment of which
neither wealth nor health cut any
figure. The bliss of ignorance is
often preferable to the wisdom be
gotten by riches. Along. this line
are reflections for the sick, the
well, the poor, the rich, he foolish
and the learned.

A Russian Giant.

Nine feet three inches of giant,
with head, hands and feet to match
will make his appearance in Ham,
merstein's Victoria Roof Garden
This summer if, al the last minute,
he does not get spasm Of fright,
and refuse to sail from Cherbourg.
This Goliath, is Machnow, known
in Europe as the tallest man IN the
world. He is Russian peasant
and all told there are 800 pounds
Of him. not so very much, consider
ing his great height. His hands,
from the wrist to The tip of the
middle finger, measuring "a inches
and his feet are constructed in pro.
portion. His head takes hat big
enough for two ordinary men and
his fingers require gloves of great
size. Machnow once had an offer
to come to this country and exhib-
himself, and he agreed. But just
as the boat was about to sail, his
timidity overcane him and nothing
could induce him to board the
steamer. This time he signed a
contract with Oscar Hammerstein.
who believes he will come at the
appointed time.
Mr. Hammerstein was in Paris
signing NINE Nellie Melba for his
grand opera company when he
heard that the giant was in good
humor, and he thought he might
as we'll kill two birds with one
stone. He was bit skeptical as
to Machnow's size until he saw the
giant at the London Hippidrome,
whittier he went once he had the
Media contract in his pocket. Then
all doubt took wing.
The giant is married to a wom-
an Of ordinary size and is verv hap
py with his wife, who has to stand
on a chair to kiss him. He is in
fine health and has hearty appe-
tite. For breakfast he deyours 2
quarts of milk or tea, Is boiled
eggs, 6 or 8 loayes Of bread and
half a pound Of butter. For lunch
con he has q pounds of imeat. 5
pounds of potatoes and aquart of
beer. Dinner is more elaborate,
this being his menu on most days:
4 basin of soup, S pounds of meat,
5 pounds of vegetables, 3 pounds
of bread and quart of beer. His
10 o'clock snack consists of 10
eggs, several loaves Of bread and a
quart of tea.-N. Y World.

Pocahontas Comfy.

A number Of wells in Marlinton
have gone dry the lsSst few weeks.
They seemed to be never falling
sources of water, even in the dryest
weather. No reason has yet been
assigned, but the idea has been ad-
vanced that the drying up IS due
to seismic disturbances. Probably
the San Francisco disaster had
something to do with the trouble.
