cERNE GIANT DISAPPEARING.
Interesting Survival Of Prehistoric
England Rapidly Descending
Into Native Oblivion.

An interesting survival Of pre-.
historic England is threatened
with destruction owing to neglect.
This is the "Cerne Giant colos.
sal human figure cut on the side
OF a lofty hill that overlooks the
picturesque village of Cerne Alb
bas, eight miles north of Dor
chester.
1t is several years since the fur
rows which outline the giants fig
ure were secured and refined with
chalk. Gradually the latter has
been washed away by the winters
rains and it is now barely Wis
ible. Grass has so encroached on
the channels that, seen from a dis
tance, the details of the gigantic
figure are hard to trace. though
the uncouth human form is still
recognizable. The cost of reno.
waiting the giant is estimated at
about f12, but no one in the local.
ity knows where the money is to
come from.
The "Old Man." as he is styled
by the natives of Cerne Abbas (the
"Abbot's Cernel" of Hardy's Yves.
sex novels), is built on truly heroic
lines. He stands 1SO feet high and
his right hand grasps . knotted
club III feet long. The unknown
artist had his own notions Of the
Just proportions Of the human
frame, as will be seen from the
following further measurements;
Length of body, n feet; legs, so
feet; head, % feet; right arm, 1Os
feet; nose, 6 feet; diameter Of
eyes, n feet.
The antiquity Of the figure is ac
cepted by all archaeologists
Most authorities ascribe it to the
Celtic period, while some have
neld titrepreaents an idol once
worshiped by the pagan West
Saxons. Anothe, view il that il

YOUNG THATCHER PASSES.
Lads Prefer Simple Farmwork to .
Calling Which Requires Long

1t was remarked in the writer's
hearing not long ago that young
thatcher is never met with nova

too sweeping, as generalizations
are apt to be, for strict accuracy,
contains good deal of truth.
Lads fresh from school prefer the
simple, easily acquired routine Of
ordinary farmwork to a calling
which must not only be learned
before it can be practiced, but
which offers-since the thatching
of newly-erected buildings has

70 BOWL. THE PROPER WAY

A Precept That Every Citizen shouId

Juvenal said, This precept descends
from heaven-know myself" To this
we add-know thy country. Know its
area, its population. its products, ma.

its possibilities. Know its states, its
territories and large cities and what
they are severally noted for. Know
its geography and Typography, its con-
stitution, principles and history, its
literature, it's art and its sciences, its
philosophy, discoveries and inventions.
Know its relation to other nations,
both political and financial Know its
possessions - Alaska. Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines-theirh history
severally, the customs and languages
of their people and the sources Of their
wealth. Many men know these things
now and love their country and are serv-
iceable to their fellow citizens In pro-
portion to their knowledge. 1t costs
labor and the sacrifice of SO called
pleasure to acquire this knowledge, but
to the genuinely manly man, whose
life's purpose is to make the utmost Of
his abilities and opportunities and who
in one way and another Is developing
his country's hidden treasures and i'm
parting his own practical enthusiasm
to other lives, there are a relish and a
delight in the search for knowledge
that compensate thousandfold.

A WONDERFUL MEMORY.
The story Marcus Told of n Young

The story Marcus Told of Young
Corsican Marvel.
Marcus tells us that during his trav-
els over Europe he met the marvel Of
marvels" at Padua. The marvel in
question was a young Corsican who
was in the city for the purpose Of pur-
suing his studies at the university.
Marcus, having heard that the young
man was gifted with an extraordinary
memory. desired to put the student to
the test.
The person who had informed the
traveller concerning the wonderful re-
tentiveness of the young Corsicans
memory declared that he was so gifted
in that faculty that he could repeat as
many as 10000 words il read over to
him but once Maretus and three dis
tinguished Nenctians agreed to test the
accuracy OF the statement. A commit
tee visited the student of extraordinary
memory and found him willing to sub
NIT to the ordeal. Accordingly there
was read over to him an almost inter-
minable list of worsls strung together
without any consecutive order and
without any meaning whatever.

So Senator Dubois would apparently
have you believe that the Mormons in
state convention are as polygamists in
their votes as he says they are in their
wives daughter and applause.)
Now, candidly, does 1t look as though
he were sincere? But he goes further.
They say that polygamy is being entered
into. They say that new polygamis
marriages are being consummated. We
have a law against polygamy. We have
as splendid laws upon moral questions
upon our statute books as any state in
the union. If the statement that Sen
ator Dubois makes is true. why does he
not point out a single case and see that
the offense is punished?
Challenge to Dubois.
At the risk of Offering Senator Dubois
every means of proving such sincerity
as would enable him TO command a ma
jority of the votes of Idaho, may ask
why the Democratic party does not point
out and prosecute these men that they
say have committed this crime and are
committing this crime from year to

You remember the story of Vireinius.
He and his little band had resisted
Roman tyranny until at last they We're

His beautiful daughter was to be taken
away by the Romans and he asked one
last request of his Roman captors. He
asked that he might be permitted, be-
tween the lines of Romans to bid his
beautiful daughter goodbye. The re-
quest was granted. Virginius came for
ward and met his daughter. He pressed
her 10 his heart and kissed her temple
He drew a dagger from beneath his bod
ice and stabbed her to the heart. He
then turned upon his captors and said:

man from whose lips this story fell, we

SOME PAcrs TO CONSIDER.

Unfavorable comment has been made |
in some of the state papers on the
workings of the states depository law,
which was originated under the present
state administration. It is urged that
there is no necessity for such a vast
sum of money to be kept on hand. The
money that is loaned under this depos-
tory law to banks for not less than
1-2 per cent. interest, are daily bal
ances belonging to the various current
funds, and the amount is not beyond
the required sum to meet theexigencies
Of the service. These amounts come in
from various sources, and are neither
stationary nor excessive. At the be-
ginning of the Morrison administration,
there were some 100000 on hand in
these and other funds. and this vast
amount did not earn one cent for the
state. How much of a temptation such
a large amount of temporarily idle mon
ey was to the cupidity of the officials
of a former time or what If any, profit
accrued to other than the bankers, who
handled these funds absolutely without
any security to the state or its officials,
it is not the purpose of this article to
discuss.
No long time loans can be made for
any considerable portion of these funds
| as they are raised for current demands
| and are of necessity largely subject to
| call. AS to deficiency warrants, they
are issued to supply theneeds of special
funds and these current funds are not
subject to, or available for, demands
thereof. Ordinarily when an admins
tration which has been SO free from
public scandal and offers its books for
| the inspection of a widely distributed
| constituency, a spirit Of fair play would
| dictate that petty advantage would not
be taken by u technical discussion. The
governor is about over the state now
discussing state and national political
questions. with an openness that COM
mends itself to everyone. He is pre-
pared and does answer every question
; propounded to him for the purpose OF
bringing out the truth. Any attempt
to blacken the name of Frank r. Good.
ing, by petty bubbles that are an in
suit to the average man of affairs, will
recoil upon its author. Every thrifty
community has these shifting SURPRISES
or balances in current funds, and the
modern way of putting them to tenn
porary use for hire to banking concerns
is a wholesome reform of the old way
of doing things, here and elsewhere

true of all parties and l have no doubt

Direct Primary.
! wish TO say q word with regard to
the plank in the Republican platform
which declares in favor of the direct

step in the right direction. There was
a time when secret system of voting on

Americas people. There was a time. and

in the ballot box. There was a time
when the voters names were called and
each voter called out the names of the
men for whom he wished to vote. These
systems of election opened the door for
fraud and corruption. Bosses sprang up.
Men were bought and the boss stood by
the ballot box and watched the voter
whom he had bought deliver the goods"
Men sometimes were afraid to vote for
the man OF their choice for fear of los
