Thrifty Pyrenees Giant.

Every now and then some one an
nounces himself as the "tallest man.
one of the latest to do so being Seno,
Firmin Arrudi, native of Salient, in
the Spanish Pyrenees. He is feet s
inches tall.
Naturally most of these big fellows
go about the world exhibiting them
selves. that ordinary mortals may
wonder and incidentally pay for their
wonderment. Senior Arrudi made a
tour of South America, where he made
in one year more than $4,000.
He was wiser than many freaks of
nature, however, and after accumu-
lating his money he returned to his
native village, where he went into re-
tired life, married and is living on
the interest of his earnings.

for Theodore NJ. Davis, the American
millionaire who is backing the excava-
lions in the Valley of the Kings near

English Psychologist, whose recent

These jewels will not come to Eng

will be removed to the Cairo museum.
"The Importance of the find lays in
this, that although the actual mummy
of the queen has not been found, the
bracelets of heavy gold, the huge ear
rings. the deliberately worked rings
and possibly the crown worn by all
the Egyptian queens, together with a
host of accessories will have their

talked, who had his upbraiding, who
knew not Joseph who suffered the

that extremely little is known of the

in relation to the publicity campaign
funds of the National Committee
was the chief topic, Referring to
suggestions that the Republican party

replied promptly that it was possible
to commit perjury in such case, but
he secuted the idea that the purpose
Of giving publicity Of funds Of party
