admit that this view will be consid-
cred bit on the old fogy order by
some, but it is nevertheless correct and
one that will be given increased at
tention in the years that are just

righted in the school system at pres

the chief of these is the turning of the
usually pale faced. anaemic invalids
at graduation time into girls physical
ly robust and able to take up the seri-
Gus and responsible duties of life. The
credit for the situation which exists is
largely due to a system which makes
the curricula of public schools conform
TO college requirements when probably
less than 10 per cent of the pupils en-
rolled will ever go to college; partly
due to the blindness of teachers wed to
the system and stupidity ignorant Of
the fact that children at thirteen do
not have the endurance Of GROVE folks
at thirty, and. even more it is due to
shortsighted parents who through fool
ish pride allow and sometimes encour-
age their daughters to overwork that
they may stand at the head of their
classes. Those collectively and indi-
vidually responsible should get their
heads together and evolve a more ra-
tiona system that will make it pos
sible for the girl-the finest and sweet

FAMOUS GIANTS.
John Middleton the TaIIest of the More
Modern Ones.

John Middleton the Tallest OF the More
Modern Ones.
The record Of men remarkable for
their height commences at an early
period of the recorded history of
the world, for in the Old Testament
Og, king of Bashan, is mentioned as
using a bedstead nine cubits long,
which is about sixteen and a half
feet. Later we read of Goliath of
Gath, slain by David, whose height
was "six cubits and a span" The
Emperor Maximin was of vast bulk,
according to some measuring over
eight feet. Then Pliny writes !:
"The tallest man that has been seen
in our age was one named Gahara,
who in the days of Claudius, the
late emperor, was brought out of
Arabia. He was nine feet nine
inches"
OF more modern giants there was
John Middleton, called the child of
Hale, who was born in Lancashire,
England, in 1878. He was nine feet
three inches tall. His hand meas
ured seventeen inches from the
wrist to the tip of the middle finger,
and the palm was eight and a half
inches in breadth.
Patrick Cotter, the '1rish Giant, F"
was born in 1861 and measured
eight feet seven inches in height.
His hand to the tip of the middle
finger was twelve inches, and his
shoes were seventeen inches long.
Charles Bryne, called O'Brien, was
eight feet four inches. He died in
1888, and his skeleton is in the
museum of the Royal College of
Surgeons.
Big Sam, porter of the Prince of
Wales, afterward George ", at
Carlton palace, was nearly eight
feet tall.
NJ. Brice, native of the Vosges,
seven feet six inches, exhibited
himself in London in 1923.
Robert Hales, the Norfolk
Giant" was seven and a half feet
tall and weighed 1852 pounds.
Chang Woo Cow, a Chinese giant,
was seven feet eight inches when
nineteen years old, when he was ex-
hibited in London in 1865. Grown
TO eight feet, he exhibited at the
Westminster aquarium with Brus-
tav, a Norwegian giant, seven feet
nine inches, in June, 1880.
Captain Martin Van Buren, Bates
of Kentucky and Miss Ann Hanen
Swami of Nova Scotia, each about
seven feet tall, exhibited in London
and were married at st. Martins-in-
the-Fields, June II, 1871.
Marian, the "Amazon Queen"
born in 1866, was eight feet two
inches tall when exhibited in Lon
don in 1882.
Joseph Winklemaier, a native Of
Austria, eight feet nine inches tall,
exhibited in London in 1887.

THE DAUGHTER IN THE HOME

THE DAUGHTER IN THE HOME.
All too many mothers make the mis-
take of saving their daughters in every
way and allowing them to do little or
none of the work about the house.
when this not only means increased
labors for the mother. but is a short
sighted policy for the daughter and
particularly for those who will in all
probability later have the responsible
ity of household on their hands.
When daughters in the home reach
the age of thirteen or fourteen they
ought to take The job of washing the
dishes. much of the sweeping and all of
the busting Off their mothers hands.
besides being taught TO do the plain
sewing aud mending caused by their
own presence in the home. Many
mothers would rather do ali this work
than show their daughters how. but
when analyzed this attitude of the
mothers is usually traceable to lack
of pains, patience and true regard for
the daughters welfare. The average
girl is willing TO help if taught how to
do so and made to feel that the as
sistance that she does render is worth
while.
