A Good Dig.
A colored man named Joseph Saun
ders was employed to dig a weU for a
farmer near Augusta, Me. The farmer
beat him down to half wages, but after
going ten feet down the digger struck a
jug with J50 in gold in it and took a
skip. The farmer then dug twenty-two
feet more, nearly broke his back, and
didn't hit anything but stones. Detroit

The scoring of the bores of modern
cannon by the new powders in use is
claimed to be due to the fact that upon
ignition all of the powder is not turned
to gas, some of it remaining in a fluid
state. It is this latter which does the
scoring by being thrown with such force
against the metal of the gun that the re
sulting action is very similar to that of a
sand blast for cutting glass.

A prominent physician of Baltimore,
who is connected with the Women's
Medical College, expresses his views ol
the matter in favor of tbe study of med

period of the world's history," he said,
"the duties of attending to the sick
were assigned to women. History re
cords instances of successful practice
by women lone prior to the time when
scientifio thought and precision had
molded a natural system of medicine.
It is not uncommon to find in women
the strongest characteristics, will, en
durance, calmness under trial, strong

the case of a man, aged thirty, who had
suffered with mental disease since the
summer of 1888. In Fehrnarv 1SRO ha

The patient in question was attacked on

At all times and in all ooon tries
kings and nobles had a fancy tor In
eluding among their retainers either a
giant or a dwarf, sometimes both, as
Frederick the Great and his corps of
gigantic grenadiers; and in the Tower
of London may be seen a lance and
some enormous armor of Sixteenth
century work, which doubtless belonged
to some giant knight or trooper of the
king's bodyguard. James I had at
tached to his person a porter named
Walter Parsons, commonly called the
Staffordshire giant a handsome, brave
and strong young man, who had begun
life as a farrier. His height was 7
feet 7 inches, and his portrait ex
ists, engraved by Glover. Parsona

was succeeded by another giant Will
lam Evans, two inches taller than his
predecessor.
It is a curious fact that the popula
tion of France has rarely produced a
giant; Great Britain, Germany, Poland
and Switzerland carry off the palm j and
this may perhaps be attributed to the
prevalence in France of a vegetarian
diet which does not tend to develop to
a great an extent the growth of muscla
as does the stronger diet of meat. The
Eighteenth century, to judge by con
temporary letters and ' newsnervra
- - i ,
seems to have been more than usually
proline in giants and giantesses.
Horace Walpole mentions a giant
and giantess who were on view respect
ively at bpnng Gardens and Half Moon
Court, Ludgate Hill They were both,
it seems, handsome and well propor
tioned persons, and without the usual '
awkward ungaiiiliness peculiar to their
kind. At this time also appeared a
young Italian giantess 7 feet in
height, "who was the admiration, "
said the handbills, "of the emnemr
Germany, of eight kings of Europe and
oi tne grand czar of Moscow himself."
Her appearance seems to have been
followed in 1742 by that of Cajanus,
tne lamous bwedish giant commonly
called the "living Colossus." who mms
over to England and established him-
seit at a house opposite the Mansion
house. He was the son of a Dastor of
a little village in Finland and stood 8
leet 4 inencs in bis socks.
In 17S5 London was visited bv an
other Italian giant named Bernardo
Gigli, or Gilli, who measured 8 feet
in height, and seems to have created
an immense sensation bv the mlnaanl
proportions of his limbs. Hut no cnant
ever created such a furor as did Charles
Byrne, the Irish giant who was 8 feet ft
inches in height and possessed of enor-
moil ptrmWl, . Hi n-. a1a
slu-ewd, and full of the natural wit of
his mother country ; but, unfortunate
ly, the large fortune he rapidly gained
by tbe exhibition of himself led hiiu
into habits of gluttony, and he died at
the early age of 22, leaving instructions
that Ids body was to be buried at sea;
but the college of surgeons in some
way obtained his corpse for the sum of
800, according to certain reports, and
the skeleton was "set up" in their mu
seum by William Hunter, the famous
anatomist
Shortly after Byrne's death another
Irish giant exhibited himself in Lon
don, by name Patrick Cotter, alias
O'Brien. He was, so attenuated that
tall as he was, he appeared even taller.
His height was 8 feet 7 inches. Feeble
and debilitated in health, he could only
walk by supporting biinself on the
shoulders of two tall men walking in
front of him, resting a hand on the
shoulder of each. Many amusing stories
are related ol him. One evening at a
Masonic dinner he took out of hia
pocket the celebrated dwarf, Count
Borulauski, and set him upon the table,
to the astonishment of all ,
Some time after, while stavino- ni
Bath, he nearly terrified a night watch
man out of his wits by taking off the top
of a street lamp and lighting his Dine
with the flame. He was of an amiable
and gentle disposition, but not remark
able for anv intellectual canaeitv. RinoA
his day to the present time London has '
only seen four giants of any abnormal
height or size, namely. James Toleea. 8
