- GIANTS. . , - THE ancient and medisval accounts of human giants are intermingled with much that is problematic, and in some cases absolutely fabulous. We are told that the height of Yunman, a Scotch iiant who lived in the time of Pope ugenias 11., was eleven feet. This pontiff died in the year 827, so that the exaggerated Scotchman must have been in existence somewhere about the ogening of the ninth century. -In 1509 there were.discovered at Rouen the remains of Chevalier Rincou, whose skull was alleged to have been capable of holding a bushel of wheat, while the length of his shin-bone is stated at four feet. In 1705 the skeleton of -a hero named Bucart was disinterred at Valence, the remainsg measuring some twenty-two feet in length. These cases of huge development may be very appropriately capped by the Sicilian story of a human skeleton which was gravely maintained to have measured 300 feet,while, with the apparent object of giving additional veracity to the statement, the giant’s walking-stick was alleged to have been found buried beside him, the latter article, according to all testimony, measuring thirty feet. One fact is~speciall§ noticeable in regard to these persons of abnormal dimensions, and that is that they are nearly all of the male:fex. Giantesses, indeed, are rarely mentioned among the records that have been preserve of remarkably tall | human beings. Thus, in the reign of Edwardlll., Long More or Mores, an Irﬁsh giant, attained the height of six feet ten and one-half inches. Queen Elizatethv had a porter who attained the height of seven feet six inches. ' This, however, was much exceeded by John I\Yiddleton, or the ¢« Child of Hale,”’ as he was called,who lived in 1578, and measured nine feet three inches. C. Munster, a yeoman of the Hanoverian Guard, who died in 1676, attained a height of eight feet six | inches. Cajanus, the Swedish giant, who was exhibited in London in 1742, measured nine feet in height. Among | all these there is no mention of a single giantess. The most celebrated of living giants is the famous Captain ‘ Bates, of Kentucky. This giant has been fortunate ehough to secure a mate of swmtable proportions. His wife, nee Swan, was born in Nova Scotia, and measures eight feet in. height. Another giant of renown is the Chinaman Chang-wu-gou. This tall Celestial measures seven feet nine inches in stature. -

The- details of giant life exhibit many curious features. Contrary to expectation, and against -the spirit of the old legends, our modern giants are for the most part persons of singularly mild disposition, and exhibit, as a rule, the most amiable conduct. Nature in this respect, indeed, seems to preserve a wonderful and admirable balance of power in imbuing persons of great physical development with an equable temperament, while the dwarfs and pigmies of our race are usually inclined to exhibit a disposition the reverse of benevolent or mild. Probably the only giants of past days concerning whom details of a thoroughly authentic .character. have been preserved are Patrick Cotwer, alias O’Brien, and Charles Byrne, both hailing from Ireland., Curiously "enough, there is ' preserved in the Museum of Trinity College, Dublin, the skeleton of ‘a third Irishman, named Magrath, whose -case attained some notoriety in consequence of the statement made by a physician named Campbell, in a work entitled ¢¢ A Philogophical Survey: of Ireland.”” He asserts that Magrath’s exaggerated growth was caused by Bishop Berkéley’s experiments in feeding the lad. There exists, however, little or no foundation for this statement. The story probably arose from -the fact that Magrath, having, to the age of sixteen, attained a height of over six feet, and being poorly fed, presented a fit case for the exercise of the kindly Bishop’s charity. He accordingly caused the boy' to re‘ceive a liberal diet for about a m;)npr( and this treatment restored him to health. At his death, Magrath measured seven feet six inches. - =

In the British Magazine for 1783 the death of Charles Bgrne, one of the giants just mentioned, is duly chronicled. From this source we learn that Byrne measured exactly eight feet in height in August, 1780, while ‘‘in 1782 his stature had gained two inches, and when dead his full length was eight feet four inches. .His death is alleged to have been caused by excessive drinking, to which,” says the writer in the British Magazine, ‘‘ he was always addicted, but more - particularly since his “ate loss of all his ‘fropex_'ty, which he nad simply invested in a bank-note of seven hundred pounds. In his last moments,”’ continues the ' narrator, ‘¢ he requested that his remains miﬁht be thrown into the sea, in order that his bones might be removed far out of the reach of the chirurgical fraternity.”” In consequence of this, we are further informed that ‘¢ the body was ut on board a vessel, conveyed to the Bownq and sunk in twenty fathoms of

water.”” Byrne died in Cockspur street, | Charing Cross, at the age of twentytwo; but the statement that the remains of the giant were buried at sea is quite erroneous, since, after all, the « chirurgical fraternity,” represented by the famous John Hunter, contrived, after much trouble and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money—stated at tive hundred ponnds—to obtain posgession of the body, and the visitor to the ma§niﬁcent ~museunm in Lincoln’s Inn Fields may have the pleasure of beholding the skeleton of the once-fa-mous Byrne occupying a place of honor in the osteological tﬁapa.rtment. It is interesting that this giant aﬁpeared on the stage in 1782, at the Haymarket Theater, in the summer pantomime of Harlequin Teague, or the Giant’s Causeway—a title strongly suggestive of Byrne’s prominence in the pieee. = The history of Patrick Cotter, who was born at Kinsdale in 1761, shows that giants are by no means exempt from the cares and worries that beset ordinary people. His afm'em‘usl were yoor &)erscms, of the usual stature, who ﬁ:ase’ him, at the uﬁe of pjfhteen, to a showman for exhibition. The contract was for three years, at a salary of fifty pounds per annum, Arriving at Bristol, Cotter demanded some extra remuneration for himseif, The showman

‘being disinclined to grant his request, Cotter refused to allow himself to be ‘exhibited, which resulted in the poor giant's imprisonment for debt. ' His case, however, being made known /to some benevolent person, Cotter was liberated. The contract between his father and the showman was also proved to be illegal. . Some time after, the giant exhibited himself for his own ' benefit, and realized the sum of thirty pounds in three days. © : - ~ Cotter adopted the name of O’Brien, in order to strengthen the fiction set forth in the bills t%at he was ¢ a lineal ‘descendant of ‘the old puissant King Brian Boroihme,” and that he pos‘sessed*** in person all the similitude of that great and grand potentate.” His height was stated at ‘‘near nine feet,” although a memorial tablet in Trenchard Street Roman Catholic Chapel,. Bristol, informs wus more truly that his stature only amounted to eight feet three inches. Cotter died at Clifton on September 8, 1804, having realized a modest competency by . exhibiting himself, and having . also secured, we are told, the respect of the whole community by his well-regu-lated conduct. Like his countryman Byrne, Cotter was exceedingly anxious that his remains should not fall into the hands of the anatomists, and gave. directions that his grave should be built in with bricks and secured with iron bars, ' ' o Not long ago the English papers contained intelligence of the death of the “Buckin%}‘llamshire Giant,”’ a person named William Stevensy who merited the appellation rather from immense weight than unusual stature. In 1878 he went to reside at an inn called the ¢ Five Arrows,”’ situated at Waddesdon, near Aylesbury. At that time he weighed two hundred and fifty pounds. The story goes that henceforth his life was spent in eating and drinking and exhibiting his increasing weight to curious observers. In four years he had grown to such a ponderous size that he weighed four hundred and ninety pounds. His height Was‘ six feet eight inches., The mighty accumulation of flesh was cut short, Lowever, by his death, which occurred early in the spring of 1877. The poor giant had overdone the matter of eating and drinking, and it is only surprising. .that the catastrophe;was so long delayed.—Harper's Weekly.

/ Stealing a Goose. i ONE of the traditionual Judges whose wit supplies the lack of legal learning lives in Aroostook County, Maine. The following account of the way he decided a complaint against one Filchum, charged with stealing geese, is amusing: » %11'. Filchum laughed the poor complainants f.g scorn. He had hundreds of %)eese of “his own, but never a goose on his place belonging to anybody else. He would like to see them prove their property. «+r Aye—there was the rub. In a flock of four to five' hundred ' geese it would bevery difficult for the unfortunate men to select their own, even allowing them to be there, . . v : The case was brought before the Judge, and when he had heard the stories of the losers, and had questioned them sufficiently, he was inclined to the belief that they told the truth. He reflected upon the subject, and finaily laid down the course he would pursue. He ordered that the man in' change of Mr. Filchum’s\g@:e should gather together all the geese upon the place, and repair with them to an open piece of cleared pasture land, on rising ground, at a point about half way between the two localities—the farm of Mr. F. and the farms of the complainants. Col e

The thing was done, and the whole flock was there fed with a quantity of prepared dough; but only food enough given to keep them quiet. As might be expected a large concourse of people /hag assembled to see what wonderful thing the Judge would do; for he had declared that he would at that place give his decision. - : Well, evening drew on very shortly after the geese had eaten the last of their meal, and the Judge then directed that every person, saving alone the four parties in the suit, should withdraw behind a thick copse of birches and maples, and when they had gone, the farmers were to call out to the geese, as was their wont when gathering them for the evening meal, and then each was to turn toward his home—and we will say that from the elevated position ‘where the gathering had been held the farm buildings of all were in sight——- | those of the three complainants being in one direction, and those of Mr. Filchum in a direction nearly opposite. _ The thing was done just as the Judge ‘had directed, and the result was magical. A little old Kanuck, named Tobit, ‘was the first to call to his brood: ¢ Hi! hi! Allons! Allons! venez avec moi!” and thus calling he waved his hand toward a patriarch which he had quickly recognized, and which had as quickly recognized him. . v

The keeper of Mr. Filchum yelled with all his might, and gesticulated furiously; but in spite of all he could do the geese separated themselves into four tribes; about twenty of them waddled off after old Tobit, fifteen more followed his neighbor Bunkum, whiie ‘another fifteen, or thereabouts, took to ‘the heels of Pierre Sabot. ' . ‘The beholders saw and understood. The cause was decided before their very eyes, and when the Judge rendered in sentence that Mr. Filechum should pay over to the complainants one young, - healthy goose for each and every one he had certainly purloined from them, the multitude applauded; ‘and the discomfited husbandman—the goose-lifting Filchum—could only bow ‘in shame, and submit.—XN. Y. Ledger.

—A boy was caught on a bridge near Port Jervis, N. Y., lately by a train. In endeavoring to avoid the cars he fell through the timbers, a distance of ‘about fifteen feet, but ca.u%ht hold below, and held fast by his hands while the train thundered EustvOVerheud, and sixty feet beneai: him was the rocky bed of the stream. He was afterward ‘rescued by his' companions. el A A l —Though all vessels are not propellers, yet every vessel has its (s)crew.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. ° Goop feed, whether it be good grass in summer or good hay and grain in winter, with pure water always within reach, wil? always give good returns, whether the outcome expected be meat, milk, butter or cheese.—lowa State Register. : o A CORRESPONDENT of the Indiana Farmer tried four different fertilizers for melons, poultry droppings, well rotted cow manure. barnyard manure and old bones (gathered upon the farm and reduced by placing them in alternate layers with ashes the previous year) mixing all liberally in the different hills, which were eight feet apart each way, and he says: ‘Such a crop of melons as came from the hills that had the bone dust I never saw before.”’

FrOZEN BANANAS.—I take six good bananas and put them aside, being careful not to handle them too much, and not to remove skins until the very last moment, otherwise the fruit will blacken. For six bananas I use a quart of cream and a third of a pound of powdered sugar; I sweeten my cream; then 1 peel the bananas, cut them, rub them up very quickly with a potatomasher, and put the cream on them, and without a moment’s delay I freeze them.—Cor. N. Y. Times.

THE experiment has been tried in lowa of sowing in the fall, upon one acre of land, two bushels of wheat mixed with one bushel of oats. The oats shot up rapidly, and were of course killed down by the frost. But they furnished a warm covering for the earth, and when the snow fell among the thick stalks and leaves they kept it from blowing away. This covering prevented the winter-killing of the wheat, and the rotting oat leaves and stalks afforded a rich top-dressing for the crop the following spring. The result was an abundant yield of wheat, while land precisely similar, alongside of it, and treated in the same manner, with the exception of omitting the oats, was utterly worthless.—Davenport (la.) Democrat. A

INCREDIBLE as it seems, not half the tavern keepers, hostlers or teamsters know how to tie ahorse, either putting some clumsy knot that is troublesome to undo or making a hitch that is insecure. The proper way, after passing the tether round the thing to be attached to, is to make a half hitch, passing the end of the strap through the loop. If the horse, nibbling, pulls it, he merely ties the knot tighter. And to unhitch, it is only necessary to remove the end from the bow, and it is instantansously loosened. Not onefourth of the butchers or farmers know how to tie the legs of a calf or sheep for transportation. The majority of people, when they want to make the animal very secure, wind the cord tightly round the legs, causing pain from congestion, The proper way is to make a half knot only on each hind and fore leg alternately, fastening with & bow at last, which is easily untied. I find usually a pocket handkerchief the handiest thing, it being about right size. Tied in this way, they are absolutely secure and without pain.— Couniry Gentleman. ‘

. Swindling Farmers. - FARMERS get swindled; there is no doubt of that at all. But they are not alone in tl(xipt unsatisfactory experience. This world is divided into two classes, the swindler and the swindled, and the latter class is a great deal the larger one. As we have many times said, the farmer falls more easily the prey of sharpers because he is honest himself, and thinks, as an honest man always does, or at least is apt to, that everybody else is honest. . B

There are some swindlers of which the farmer is the victim, that he might escape, and would escape, no doubt, if the press did its duty. If newspapers would just:-stop to consider a moment, and let a little common sense shed its light upon the character of certain swindles, instead of quietly and regretfully stating as a matter of news that l some farmer had been swindled through the wiles of a lightning rod or some other similar impostor, they would point out the fact that the farmer could not be held upon many of these contracts. A lightning rod man is very apt to blunder in making his famous contracts, but, however much he may blunder or whatever degree of fraud may appear in the transactioun, the papers have been accustomed to say: ‘lt is too bad; let the dog loose the next time a lightning rod man sets foot on the premises.”” If a heavy bill has been already paid, this advice is a good deal like locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen. The time to have let the dog loose was when the swindler began to pour forth his eloquence. There is not a bit of danger that the lightning rod man will vietimize the same farmer the second time. A burned child dreads the fire, and a man who has had ‘his fingers burned once, will take care of the next live coal that he sees, without the aid of any dog. . e Usuzﬁ]y the farmer has the law upon his side, and if his newspaper were careful to keep thut before him, and not to lead him by inference to suppose that he is bound|/by the ferms of any written contract to which he happens to find his name 'aﬁtacpgd,*ﬁe would often refuse to pay money on aper which is frequently forged. ghere has been recently ;&oin’g the rounds of the press something like this: ‘A new swindling scheme hds been developed in lowa. A man goes

among the farmers, and buys eggs,"} {)]aying a good price and cash for them. pon payment of the mone{ he begins to write a receipt with a lead pencil which does good service until the last word befgre the gignature is written, when the point conveniently breaks off. He then produces a pen and the farmer signs his name in ink. Then the pencil writing is erased and a promissory note written above the signature, and the note thrown in bank, and the deluded farmer is compelled to pay it.”” This is such a stupid performance that we can hardly credit it; but taking it for granted a man can be found reckless enough to make such a prominent bid for the penitentiary, it isnot a matter'of much concern to the farmer. 1t may, it is true, put him to the expense of a law suit, but he is no more holden upon such a note than we would be, and instead of stating this matter in the press in such a way as to induce him to believe that he is holden, he should be given just the information that we have here conveyed. Such & note is a forgery, and in. ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the microscope would show it to be such by revealing the impress of the pencil, which together with the defendant's own testimony would convince any jury on earth. It is high time that farmers had begnun to show fight in such matters. Most of the notes given are without consideration or are forgeries. When without consideration, the law holds that a note becomes valid when in the hands of an innocent third party—-that is in the hands of one who has bought the note in good faith, supposing that it was given for a valuable consideration. But how many of such notes are held by such parties—parties entirely ignorant of their character? They are usually sold to the local banker. They must be sold to some one who is acquainted with the alleged maker, for no one else would buy them.:' Now this local banker knows how such notes are secured in the majority of cases. He knows that they are a fraud; still he buys them. Not one in a hundred could be collected at law. £ : It may be well to repeat here, the advice often given to the farmer: Never sign your name to any paper presented by a stranger. Don’t sign! Don’t sign! Follow that advice and it will save you. lots of trouble. But if you have already signed, then fight the thing, if it is not all right.— Western Rural. . “ .

>~ Curing Bad-Tempered ‘Horses. THE stable-boy told me a year or so ago that my horse had got to acting very ugly when he drove him out of the carriage-house — prancing, jumping, backing, and cutting up generally. On taking the reins myself the next time he was harnessed I found that this was indeed the case. I had some difficulty in getting into the street without knocking the carriage to pieces against the gateposts, and when we got there there was quite a circus exhibition before we behaved ourselves. . o I took a night to meditate upon the difficulty, for it seemed to me a pretty serious one, as I had known many horses to fall into a vicious habit of that kind and never getout of it. The next day when he was put to the carriagel carried out an apple and gave him, and while he was enjoying it got into the buggy and took’ up the lines, and he walked out of the barn as quietly asa kitten. For more than six months afterward he never showed the slightest return.of his rebellious behavior, thinking, no doubt, every time he was harnessed, of that delicious apple, though the luxury of bribery had not been once repeated. But, a few weeks ago, the lad who takes care of him told me that Bebtail (so called because his tail sweeps the ground) was getting into his old tantrums again; I told Phil to give him a potato the next time he took him out, apples being out of market. This worked an equally sudden cure which lasts until the present writing. ‘Now, I deem, as General Jackson used to say, that this same treatment will cure balkiness also, as well as any other bad habit of a horse that grows out of vexation of mind. The mental constitution of this animal, ‘and his moral constitution too, are much like that of a child. Now you can never beat anger out of the bosom of your children, but rather does every blow make it hotter; neither can you argue it out, ner trick it out; but a stick of candy will do it, or any other indulgence to which the patient is not accustomed.—Cor. N. Y. Evening Post. '
