Find Skeleton of Giant.

A perfect sketeleton was uncovered
u Surrey, England, during the work
of carrying out alterations to surface
water drainage In one Of the main
streets in Farnham. The chief bones
were in perfect state Of preservation,
and were sufficient to show that the
body was that of man Of unusual
stature. Close by was found a bone
of horse. The site of a Norman GEM
etery is only little distance from the
spot where the body was found, and
here some years ago cinerary urns
were discovered, which were stated to
be perfect examples of first-century
urns. Some of these are now pre-
served In Waverly abbey.

Small Prescriptions,

Many physicians have habit Of
writing prescriptions without calcu-
iating the quantity Of medicine their
patients are to take. This leads to a
great waste of drugs and much un-
necessary expense. Which leads the
New York Medical Journal to urge
physicians to be more careful.
Another evil result Of this far too
common practice. is that partly used
prescriptions are stored away In the
medicine chest, and next time the pa
tient has, or thinks he has, the same
symptoms, he takes what he suppOses
to be the same medicine.
But the chief reason why physi-
clans should not prescribe four or six
ounces when they know only one or
two will be used, is that 1t Is wasting
the drugs and making the patient pay
far more for his medicine than Is at
all necessary.

No Time to Make a Swap.

An Indiana man was travelling down
the Ohio on steamer with mare and
two-year-old colt when by sudden
careen of the boat all three were tilted
into the water The Hoosier, as he
rose putting and blowing above water,
caught hold of the tail of the colt, not
having doubt but that the natural in
stinct of the animal would carry him
safely ashore. The old mare made for
the land, but the frightened colt swan
Justify down the current with its owner
still hanging fast. Let go of the colt
and hang onto the mare!' shouted
some of his friends. Boob !" ex-
claimed the Hoosier, spouting the wa
ter from his mouth; ITS mighty fine

man who can't swim this amt exactly

BIG LEAGUE CLUBS
AIM TO RETRENCH
Training Operations to Be Con-
Quoted on Very Modest
Scale.

From present indications spring
training operations of the 16 major
league ball clubs will be conducted on
a very modest scale In 1918.
The heavy expense of taking big
squad of ball players to the sunny
Southland has caused talk of curtail-
ments along this line for several years,
but because of the hard knocks base
ball has taken In financial way and
the uncertainties of what the future
holds for the game owing to the world
war, there Is little chance that the club
owners will be ready to spend money
lavishly next spring.
A forerunner of the retrenchment
policies Of major league-owners was
found In the draft last September.
when the major league clubs drafted
fewer players than for the past ten
years. The Chicago White Sox, for
instance, did not draft single player.
Neither did the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Several other clubs drafted only one
or two men, and before spring train
ing time arrives next March there Is
a chance that some Of the drafted
players will be turned back.
The annual report of the national
commission, showing the players pur-
chased from the minor leagues by ma
jor league clubs between the dates of
the 1915 and 1917 drafts, showed to-
tai of 127 players who were taken by
the big leagues under approved agree
ments, other than optional contracts.
In this list the Boston Red Sox did not
obtain single player by the purchase
route, while the Boston Braves got but
one. The drafted players totaled 30,
II of whom were drafted by American
league clubs and q by clubs in the
National league.
In all the major leagues secured q
total of 100 players, including both
those purchased for trial and those
drafted OF this number it is said
that not more than 30 per cent will be
taken South next spring.

prised at Your ignorance.

A man and wife sat at the table at
their home trying to draw the outline
map of Europe, from memory. OBJ
serves the Ohio State Journal They
soon found that they knew little about
1t. They had been reading Of European
events for years, and yet when they
came to putting their mind picture of
the continent ON paper they forgot their
geography entirely. The man had read
Anabasis and Homer In the original
and yet put Greece between the Adri-
attic and the coast Of Spain, and left
Austria out altogether. The wife had
Spain and France side by side on an
east and west line, with Belgium to the
north, covering both, while she made
the boot of Italy fashionable $40
gaiter. Anyone looking at the two
maps could tell they were not Of
America or Asia, but Of where, he
couldn't say.
! But seriously, it Is a delightful
amusement and might with profit be in
dulged in more. After one gets through
with Europe, take the other continents
and the countries that belong to them.
And then one might come nearer home.
1t would be really sad to observe the
ignorance concerning our own locali-
ties, but it would be amusing, too. Just
