Cause Of oiantism.

A learned Italian doctor says that
giantism is morbid process. disease
due to an enlargement of part of the
brain which is endowed with growth
regulating functions. When that part
of the brain enlarged, the limbs grew
to an abnormal extent and other phys
ical changes occurred, the excess OF
growth being chiefly in the lower jaw
the arms and legs. No giant ever at

Old Dances In old rimes,

In Edward Scott's Dancing In All
Ages" are some curious details about
the dances Of old England.
"Joan Sanderson'' was "jolly
dance" in Mr.. SCOTS definition, for be.
fore it was ended each lady had KISSED:
all the gentlemen twice. and each man
had been equally enterprising. Mary
Stuart danced the "volta." though
mot so high and SO disposedly" as
Elizabeth. In King Charles time PEG.
pie danced ''Trenchmore," the "Cush-
ion Dance" "Omnium Gatherum" and
"Hoite cum Toite."
"All In q Garden Green" "Gatherine
Of Peascods.' Jumps of Pudding
"Under and Over" "The Bath" 'The
Slaughter House, and "Have at Thy
Coat, Old Woman" are dances not
quite so old.

In the first place, you can't select
only the food which your stomach
can digest.
There is always some food undi-
gested, to irritate the stomach
lining.
In the next place, dieting means
partial starvation.
The body requires many food
elements. To omit some means to
starve some part.
When you are weak, or an organ
is weak, you particularly need your
full quota of food.
Eat what you need Of the food
you want, and let Kodol, for a
little time, do the digesting.
Kodol does all that other d.
gesters don't do.
Most digesters depend mainly on
pepsin, and pepsin digests albumen
only.

The Meaning Of "MuH."

The record Of the fact that NUTS
were once worn by more meh than wo.
men In Paris suggests the old ingenious
definition Of muff as "a soft thing
that holds lady's hand without squeez.
Ing it." "Muf' appears to have come
to us from German, in which language,
curfously, "muff' means not only a
hand comforter. but also a sulky per.
son or a growing dog. These seem,
however, to be two different words.
Was our own metaphorlcal "muff" an
allusion to the effeminacy of muff
wearers or simply an intimation that
the person was distinctly "soft?'-
