Waiting for Giants to Die.

According to DR.. Woods Hutch
inson in the November American
Magazine scientists don't have to
wait long for giants to die. He
gives his own experience in collect
ing material for his series on giants
and dwarfs now running in the
American Magazine:
"The vitality of the actual giants,
as contrasted with the legendary,
may be aptly, if somewhat gruesome-
ly, typified by actual experience in
the short space of time covered by
my own study. OF all the living
giants whom was able to list in
the first two years of my work, only
one is still living. So rapid is their
decline, that it has actually proved
a special facilitation of the study of
the subject. 1t has been the ex-
ception after l have fairly listed a
giant that l have had to wait more
than three years for a post-mortem.
The show life of the giant or giant
ess is seldom more than six or sew
en- years."

Strong Defence Of The Clergy.
The November American Maga-

cussion Of Religion Inside the
Church and Out" The conclusion

''No, in my opinion the clergy
never performed their mission with
greater zeal than at present. 1t is
childish to blame them for our own
faults or for the lack Of faith which
we have unconsciously cultivated as
a bribe to our love of physical or
spiritual ease. They fight the good
fight and they keep the faith It is
all they can do in the face of this
epidemic Of irreligion. Can we ask
them to change the methods that
through long centuries have cured

in her possession.
No Cloud Over Memory.
Three lawyers of prominence and high
reputation have been retained in Mrs.
fDufreches behalf. They are said to
have progressed TO the point where they
shave notified the Smith executors OF
the impending suit. One OF these Is
William T. Houston. formerly OF New
