Eaots Ahout Giants.

That very few of the giants who
hare ever lived have been healthy or
well formed recent researches prove
beyond a doubt All we know about
Goliath is that be was very tall. but In
the second book of Kings we read
about another giant. who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being.
and. according to modern scientists.
this is invariably a token Of degen-
eracy. Marcel Donnal saw at M'lan a
giant who was so tall that his body
filed two beds at night. but whose
legs were so weak that he could hard
ly stand upright. William Evans, the
gigantic porter of Charles l.. had little
strength. and Cromwelps porter. an
other giant. ended his days in luna
tic asylum. Finally. O'Brien, the Irish
giant, has been described as IAN enor-
nous sick child who grew up too

Help was summoned from the village
on Tuesday to assist in fighting fire
on the Jim Sebranek farm about five
miles west of town. The fire broke out
in a barn and for a time it was thought
all buildings including the residence,
would be destroyed. The fire started
in hay NOV.
A barn, stack of hay and twelve
acres of standing hay were destroyed
by fire on the James Bruha farm in
Greenwood township. During tn e
storm Saturday night Lightning struck
and set fire to tree in the meadow
and on Sunday the standing hay caught
fire from the tree. A heavy wind pre-
vailed during Sunday and the fire could
not be put out until it had done cor
siderable damage.
The writer drove over to Mauston
and on the way took much interest in
comparing the condition of crops in diff
ferent localities. We found that the
country around HIllsboro is fortunate
in having a soil that will stand more
dry weather than a great many others.
All crops here are far ahead of those
in the Mauston country, and tobacco in
particular looks much better. The
acreage of tobacco around Mansion this
year is very small.

HIGH PRIcESMUsT PREVAIL

Six weeks ago it looked like year
of over-abundance in everything Amer
lean farmers produce. IL looked like a
year of returning normal prices for
everything the people eat. The four
weeks of June and the first half of July
have made things seem different. 1T
now looks like another year of high
prices. The country has had serious
shortage in rainfall. This has hit the
spring wheat crop of the country hard
est of all, but it has materially changed
the previous outlook for other articles
Of consumption. The hay crop of the
country is the smallest in years, after
showing great promise June j. Pas
trrcs are burned out over great sec
tons Of the country. This feature will
be better understood when it IS known
that during the last fortnight stock
raisers in Wisconsin, southern Mime
sofa and other sections have been
forced to sell off their animals regard
less of the marketable condition be-
cause of the scarcity of feed. This
feed shortage will create agreater con-
sumptive demand for corn and oats.
The big corn crop is not yet made. This
leaves the whole question Of prices of
live stock and meats of all kinds yet to
be settled by the success or failure of
the drought sections of last month to
recover from the adverse weather eff
fects. Elk.

A seneuolent Canaan.

A trio of young ladies' spent some
weeks last year at an out of the way
village in the mountain region. They
found the village postmaster a quaint
old character. whose ways were as ORR
ginal as they were startling, so that
the daily trip to the postotfice became
q real event.
"Is there any mail for US. majorT'

appeared at the window one morning.

Antiquity Of Shorthand.

Shorthand is apt TO be looked upon
as an essentially modern art. The
predecessors of Pitman Byron In the
eighteenth century. Mason In the sew
enteenth-are dim and distant figures
beyond which 1t seems useless to ven
ture. Cicero dictated his orations to
his freedman. T. Julius Trio, and was
inconsolable when temporarily depriv-
ed of bis services. He complained in
letter to friend that. while "Tiro
takes down whole phrases in a few
signs. Spintharus CHS provisional sub
stitutel only writes In syllables.' We
need not. however. suppose that the
''notae Tironianae" were actually In
vented by the freedman in question.
As NJ. Guenin points out. the Romans
created very few Of the arts of peace,
contenting themselves, as rule, by
copying from the Greeks. NJ Guenin,
however, indicates the banks of the
Nile as the cradle of the art. Prs
