Men Of Great HEIGHT.

Stories are common among the low
er civilized peoples, as well as among
savage tribes, to the effect that men
have lived who have measured 10 feet
in height. Og, king of Bashan, is said
I'm Deuteronomy GID to have been
the last of the giants. His bedstead
of iron was nine cubits, or between
IL and 1315 feet in length. Pliny
mentions the name of an Arabian
giant who measured 91s feet, and also
speaks of two others who were
10 feet in stature. The following
list of men whose real height is we'll
known shows that it is possible for
individuals to go far beyond the aver
age height Of the human species,
which is 60 inches.
Magrath, bishop Berkeley's giant,
ninety-two inches; Patrick Cotter
(1761-1S04), or O'Brien, 80 inches;
Charles Byrne, Irish giant, 100 inches;
Topinard's Kalmuck, 100 inches !:
Winkelmaier. Austrian (died 1880

MADE FAMOUS BY THoREAu
Beautiful Walden Pond Chiefly Noted
as one-Time Home Of the
Noted Philosopher.

For some two years and three
months Thorean lived beside Walden
pond. and walden" is probably the
best known and characteristic of his
works. AT what time did the era Of
snobbery In nomenclature begin in
Massachusetts and turn so many good
old ponds into lakes; Walden pond
was duly made Lake" Walden. II
is about mile south of Concord and
must look as Thoreau used TO see il,
remarks the New York Times.
: The scenery of Walden is on a hum
bic scale, and, although very beauti-
full. does not approach to grandeur,
nor can it much concern one who has
mot long frequented 1t or lived by its
shore; yet this pond is so remarkable
for its depth and purity as TO merit
particular description. 1t is a clear
ard deep green well, half a mile long
and a mile and three-quarters in cir
conference, and contains about 61lh
acres; perennial spring in the midst
OF pine and oak woods, without any
visible inlet or outlet except by the
clouds and evaporation. The surround
ing hills rise abruptly from the water
to the height Of 40 TO so feet, though
on the southeast and east they attain
to about $50 feet. respectively within
quarter and aSthlrd of n mile. They
are exclusively woodland.

FOUNDER OF SUNDAY SCHOOL
Robert Raikes. to Whom Honor Is Gen.
orally Given, Said to Have
Borrowed the Idea.

Robert Raikes Of Gloucester is often
set down as the founder of the Sunday
school, writes an English correspond
ent, but nothing is heard of Emmanuel
Twynning, the shepherd of Maybe
Bottom. Sheepscombe, Worcestershire,
from whom Raikes got his idea. Mag
pie Bottom Is a beautiful crlnkle at
the edge of the Sheepscombe, where
thelane departs dowr the valley, at last
reaching Worcestershire. The young
man must have been up here TO take
a service. At any rate, as he went
by Maggie Bottom there was Shepherd
Emmanuel Twynning in that thyme
scented little paradise, with ring of
children round him, explaining perhaps
pastoral parallels of the New Tesla
ment. Master Bob Raikes stopped,
perhaps Joined in a hymn ana talked
to the shepherd. asking him how he
went on" when the weather was not
so favorable. He was told that on
wet days some handy cottage shell
tered the class, and that, come wet or
fine, there was a class every Sunday.
During the walk back to Gloucester
the thought took root and, without
the thyme and the marjoram and the
'inconsequent chirruping of grasshop-
pers, Robert took up his shepherding
in the dark streets of the cathedral
city.
