THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 0, ipoo. 6 IKONING CUPBOARD; MOW THE AMATEUR CARPENTER MAY EASILY MAKE IT. A Haadf Flare For florin Thlnsri Vara la Dolac I'p" Lmcru and Flaa Liaea A CoaTalat Towel Horn Far Pantry or Bathroom, The amateur carpenter should not be satisfied with making only pretty and ornamental things for ber house. There are Innumerable article of use which will come well within the scope of her workmanship, and for providing the a me she will receive grateful thanks from the members of the household. Here, for Instance, Is the sketch of a Ironing cupboard, wherein can be AX IBONIXO CTPBOAllD. stowed away all the requisites for get ting: up fine linen and lace. In a small establishment, where means are limit ed. It often falls to the lot of one mem ber of the household to undertake the washing and pressing of many small articles of apparel, which, by reason of the delicacy of their material, would soon go to pieces if subjected to the somewhat rough treatment accorded to the general washing. Many women like to wash their fragile pieces of old lace or embroideries themselves, and these often require the application of a flatlron or of crimping irons In order to give them a smart appearance. The little cupboard here shown cculd very well find a place In either a bed- iU.lSIll U Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping "it will wear away," are drifting towards Bright's Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms. wnnjjn j fca mi Jli 1 tops irregularities, strengthen! the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues of the kid neys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kid neys strain out the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and the poisonous wastt matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body, causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc. If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder trouble commence tak ing FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight dis order in a few days and prevent a fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system. How to Find Out. You can easily determine if your kid neys are out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has a brick-dust sediment or small particles float about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE should t taken at once. G. B.

These latter are Intended for holding the Irons of vari ous sixes and other Implements such, perhaps, as a small heating stove, nec essary for this one laundry work. Two-thirds of this cupboard must be reserved for the little Ironing table, which Is the most Important Item to the whole concern. It is provided al one end with a couple of clamps, which can be hooked Into sockets fixed any where to the wnll or to the end of table, to keep It quite steady, while be neath the other rounded end Is a trestle screwed ou with a hinge, so at to en able it to be folded uo when. not . 1b use.

How to Break Up a Cold, It may be a surprise to many to learn that a severe cold can be completely broken up in one or two days' time. The first symptoms of a cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse watery discharge from the nose, and a thing, white coat ing on the tongue. When Chamberlain's cough remedy is taken every hour on the first appearance of these symptoms, it counteracts the effect of the cold and restores the system to a healthy condi tion within a day, or two.

On Jan. 11, 1033, some masons dig ging near the ruins of a castlo In Dauphine, In a locality which had long been knowu as the Giant's field, at the depth of eighteen feet discovered a brick tomb thirty feet long, twelve feet wide aud eight feet high, on wNch was a gray atone, with the words "Theotoboehus Itex" cut therwn. When the tomb was opened they foimd a human skeleton, entire, twenty Ave and one-half feet long, teu feet wkie across the shoulders and five feet deep from tbe breastboue to the back. The teeth wete each about the slue of tin ox's foot, aud bis shin bone measured four feet. Near Margurluo, lu Sicily, lu 1310, was found u gluut thirty feet high. Ills head was the size of a hogshead, and each of his teeth weighed five ounces. Sear ralermo, lu the valley of Ma gara, In Sicily, a skeleton of a giant thirty feet long was found lu the year IMS aud another thirty-three feet high In l."w). Several of the gigantic bonea of the latter subject are still preserved by private persons lu Italy. The Athenians found thirty-two fa mous skeletous, one thirty-four aud another tlJlrty-slx feet In height. At Totic. in Hohemln, in 75S, was found n skeletou the head of which Could scarcely be encompassed by the arms of two men together :uid whose legs, which are still preserved lu the castle of the city, were twenty -six feet long. The celebrated English scientist. Sir Bans Slonue, who treated tbe matter very learnedly, does not doubt tbe facts above narrated, but thinks the bones were those of elephants, whale or other animals. But It has been well remarked that, while elephants' bonea may be shown for those of gluts to superficial observers, this can ntter Impose upon such distinguished anat- ! omlsts as have testified in many caaea to the mammoth bones being unmla takably human.

ANCIENT RACES MARVELS OF PHYS ICAL DEVELOPMENT. lhe SriuibnrliRriane of One Thoannnd Yeai-H Ago Were AH Hrruarkablj Proportioned Men The (.land, of Ancient (Greece untl Home. That the lmiiiau race lias degener ated in nize as well as loiigevitj is a fact well attested by various authori ties. A prominent Washington physi cian who has made a life study of urain uud cerebral developments, says! that, ou visiting the catacombs of Par Is, what struck uim most in li.o-e vast repositories of the contents of th city's ancient graveyards was tht jrrei.it size of the skulls in comparison with those of more modern mankind. This superiority of development in the men who lived 1,000 years or more iiyo the scientist attributes to the open uii life then in vogue and the pliyslca: sports and exercises indulged in. There are several races of giants mentioned in the Bible, and the Greek and Roman historians have recorded many examples which serve to show that these specimens of elongated hu manity were by no means rare at onr period of the world's history. Thus it is mentioned that the Emper or Maxiiulan was eight feet some Inch es high. The body of Orestes, accord ing to the Creeks, was eleven and a half feet In height, the giant Galbora, brought from Arabia to Home under Claudius Caesar, measured near ten feet, and the bones of Secoiidilla uiid Pusio, keepers of the gardens of SaK lust, were but six inches shorter, The probability is that outside of cul tivated (J recce and Koine among tbe semi barbarous of the greater purt of present day European nations physical development reached often to niorf wondrous proportions. The chevalier Scory in his voyage tc the peak of Teuerif'e says that they found in one of the sepulchral caverns of that mountain the head of Guanche which had eighty teeth and that the body was not less than fifteen feet long. The giant Ferragus. slain by Orlando, nephew of Charlemagne, was eighteen feet hight ltevland, a celebrated anatomist who wrote in i;H, says that some years before that time there was to be wteu in the suburbs of St. Germane the tomb of the giant Isoret, who was twenty feet high. At Jtoiiei! iu l.r)0!i, in digging lu the ditches near the Oominicumo, there was found a stone tomb containing a skeleton vhote shin bone reached up to the girdle of the tallest man there, being about four feet long, and conse quently the body must have lcoii sev enteen or eighteen feet high. Upon the tomb was a plate of copper upon which was engraved, "lu this tomb lies tbe noble and puissant lord, the Chevalier ituou do Vallemont, and hts bones." There Is, Indeed, .evidence In the pon 8b Couldn't Draw It. A school teacher one day, during the hour for drawing, suggested to her pu pils that each draw- what he or she would like to be when grown up. At the end of the lesson one little girl showed an empty slate. "Why," said the teacher, "isn't therf anything you would like to be when you grow up?" "Yes." said the little girl. "I would like to be married, but 1 don't know how to draw it."- New York Life. FOR RENT HOUSES. NICE ROOMS AND BOARD FOR GEN- tlemin and wife or single. Enquire Astorian Office. 4-28 tf FOR SALE.
