Gle ON "The Long Giant and His
Shortcomings II is the first of a
series on giants and dwarfs. Portraits
of numerous giants are reproduced.
The giant according TO DIR. Hutch
inson, is a defective. He says:
From an evolutionary point of
view. these 'enormities' are sadly de-
fective in another reSucct also. Not
only are they unable to mold their
own with the average man in the
struggle for existence Individually
even With the assistance of the dime
museums-but they would soon die
ont lacially. as they leave few or no
offspring. The great majority never
even care to marry or would be
carahle of il. and the few who do
leave very few children, Out Of nine
teen giants and giaVtesses whom /
have seen and studied personally,
only four were married and of these
four, three had no children at the
time they came under my observation.
This would seem TO be a fair
average so far as data are available.
The few offspring of giant marriages
are of normal stature. Never yet was
giant born of giant
"As TO their intelligence, little need
be said 1t Is ahard matter save for
schoomen aud theologians, to discuss
a negative quantity The mind of the
giant seldom gets beyond the child
stage None of those with whom /
have talked seemed above the intel
ligence OF a bright boy OF nine on
ten. They are nswally backward In
their studies at school and leave at
an early age. Many of them are posi-
lively feeble-minded and AT least two
that / have known had the greatest

play tricks which their exhibitors
tried 10 teach them. This Is only
their cranial measurements, which are

Lansing. Mich. oct. 22-Niaety-
six delegates. chosen at the special
election held last month. assembled
at the state capitol today for the pur-
pose of framing a new constitution
for the State of Michigan II is inn
possible to foretell with any degree
of certainty just what will be en-
bodied IN the new constitution. 1t is
expected however. that there will be
any radical departures from the pre-
seat document which mas been in ex-
istencc for ffty-seyen years. II prac-
tlcally is agreed that the legislature
should be relieved OF large propor-
tiou Of local legislation which CON
sumes time and influences the passage
Of important measures. and the con-
vention will probably agree on a
greater measure of home rule for
cities and villages. Beyond this. it is
suspected there will be little unaai-
nifty of action. Efforts to incorporate
the principles of direct legislation
will be strongly opposed and any at
tempts at innovations on the present
taxation system viii cause strife. It
is expected that the convention will
remaia IN session at least 100 days.

FAIRIES IN IRELAND.
A Boatman's Story Of the Antics Of
the Little People.

a Boatman's Story Of the Antics Of
the Little People.
Here Is a modern fairy story from
Ireland: zone day about twenty years
ago" writes a correspondent, Il was
fishing from boat on Lough Derg.
/ inquired OF my boatmen II they had
ever seen salries. At first, fearing to
be laughed at, they secuted the idea,
but one Of them told the following:
'On a Sunday he was returning after
mass aud stood with a 1riend named
Sullivan on the bridge OF Killaloe
Looking toward a potato field on the
slope OF the rising ground TO the east
Of the town, a field which he was able
20 point out from the boat, he saw
issuing from the liss a troop Of little
people, one being distinctly taller than
the rest AT first they seemed rather
blurred. then tooA distinct shapes and
began to play the national game OF
hurley among the bare potato rigs.
He called Sullivan's attention 10 them,
but for some time his friend could not
see them, then said be could, and they
watched the game together for time
Then the sun went in, and the fairies
moving toward the liss, as II return
ing to It, vanished. Llsses are rough
places. sometimes hillocks, sometimes
depressions, often bushy, but never
cultivated. l have been told they ara
left as doorways for the fairies wheU
visiting the earth's surface. Chicago
