They Present All the Phenomena ef
 Animal and vegetabIA Growth.

Animal and vegetablA Growth. Why and how is the deer so peculiar 1y unlike any other of the bovine race, the horn differing so materially from all the horned cattle in its composition, growth, maturity and decline? It pre- sents all the phenomena of animal and vegetable growth. It sprouts from the brain without any prolongation of the frontal bone. It rises and breaks through the sinews and takes root on the bone, growing the same as vege- table. It is nourished by and secretes a1bumen upon the surface and disposes of the fibrin the same as an animal.
 It is clothed with skin and hairy coat very different from those on the rest of the body. This covering and hair possess a property unknown in other animal bodies-that of being styptic to stanch it's own blood when wounded 1t carries marks of the age on the buck by putting out an extra branch each year, which shows an ad- ditional power each year to produce them. And this power does not exist in the female. So this difference is more distinctly marked than in any other class of animals. Again, the horn possesses properties unknown in any other animal matter. It is entirely in- odorous, capable of resisting putrefac- ton and almost .impervious to the eff fleets of the atmosphere. f.
 And still water at 300 degrees F. will dissolve these horns readily. even though they are not soluble in alcohol and resist the action of acids and aka lis. It is the Only yegeto animal sub stance that we know of that does not perpetuate itself by procreation.
 The male and the female are sus- tained by the same nutrition and ele- ments, and only the male produces horns. This phenomenon is quite as much of a curiosity as the absence of the horn in the buck after shedding Exchauge

(Watson, Alpers & CO.)
 The foreign political situation and the action of money lenders are the elements that still exist as restraints upon the resumption of a sustained upward movement. In the absence of unfayorable developments in these di- rections. the improvement should go further and if these phases should turn positive gratifying side to spzcula- tion,' the prospects would favor this improvement reaching important di- mensions. While. therefore conserva- tism is not out of place. the purchase of stocks on reactions of moderate de- grees appears to us the profitable pol icy to pursue.

FIND PREHISTORIC GIANT.
Skeleton Fifteen Feet High I'm
evthed in MedTcO.

News was received here yesterday from Mex
leo that at Ixtapalapa, a town ten miles south
east Of Mexico City. there had been discovered
what was believed 10 be the skeleton of a pre-
historic giant OF extraordinary size.
A peon while excavating for the foundation
of house on the estate OF Agustin Juarez found
the skeleton Of a human being that is estimated
to have been about fifteen feet high and who
must have lived ages ago. judging from the ossi-
fed state Of the bones.
Romulc Luna, Judge Of the district, has taken
possession of the skeleton, which is complete,
with the exception OF the skull Judge Luna
says that as soon as the search for the skull is
finished the skeleton will be forwarded to the
National Museum of Mexico, which has an al
most priceless collection Of Aztec antiquities.
The National Museum. il is said, has made ar
rangements to investigate this find"
The discovery CT the skeleton has revived the
old Aztec legend that in a prehistoric age
race of giants lived in the valley Of Ana
huac. a name given by the aboriginal Mexicans
to that part of the Mexican plateau nearly cor
responding to the modern valley of Mexico City
These giants. known Quinatzins. the story
goes were afterward destroyed by the Ulmecas,
also of great stature, who. in turn, perished by

wrath Of God.
