Wednesday morning of this week
its Anion Kiker nml John (iood were
engaged in digging n well on the
farm of J. Henley, about two miles
from Kossuth, and six miles south
west of Speiiecrvilh', they exhumed
an cu irmotin human skull, and fol
lowing up the discovery, they un
earthed a gigantic human skeleton
entire. The bones were found at
the depth of ."'-' feet, embedded ill a
vein of gravel, mid were in an ex
cellent stale of preservation. The
skeleton w as put together as soon as
the workmen were somewhat recov
ered from their astonishment, and
proved upon measurement to be
nearly tl feet long. The thigh hone
measured !l feet and 2 inches in
length, and the spinal column was
4 feel 2 inches long. The skull
measured ,'1H inches in circumfer
ence, and wa fractured and crushed
in several places, which would seem
to indicate that this historic (loli
nth had met his death in battle or
by some other violent means.
'Several war implements were
found buried with the remains.
One weapon, a huge stone axe,
weighed 27 pounds; and another, a
Hint spear head, weighed 18 pounds.
The weight of these weapons, til -though
so great, must have been eas
ily handled by this great warrior of
ages gone. Along Willi liieso imple
ments of war was found it copper
medallion, on which Wiin engraved
several strange chariictors. The
discovery is a startling one, and
proves substantially the biblical as
sertion Hint "there were giants in
those days." To science tho dis
covery it valuable and may lead to

hi inn rri.jRiiti. on uiuitb
street, Mr. Smith recently arose in
time to gel the paper when the car
rier arrived. He marked it on the
inside with a blue pencil: "This
paper was stolen front ," left it
in tho iiaiial place on the step and
went hack into the house to await
the approach of the thief, Ten min
utes Inter, having heard no sound of
any one approaching, he looked out
and wan dumbfounded to find the
pajHT was missing. He laid asim
ilar trapthe next morning and sat
in the parlor window to watch. The
carrier had not Wen fjone two min
utes before a big New foundland dog
trotted into his dooryard, tmik the
paper in his mouth and ran off. The
gentleman followed the dog around
the comer ami saw three boys, meet
the animal there, take the paier,
and direct the dog to another door
yard. After wllei'ting the papers
the hoyi took them home to their

threatened with another epidemic
which has probably Wfore never in

It
supHise that teasing is essential to
his gaining a point he wants to
gain. A result of such a view in
his mind is that he looks not to his
parents' w isdom and judgment, but
to hit own Hisitiveness and cr
sistcticj as the guide of his action
in any mooted case of personal
conduct ; not to principle which are
disclosed to him by one who is in
authority, hut to impulses which
are w holly in his own bosom.
Such a view is inimical to all
wise methods of thinking and doing
on a child s liart, ami it is even
more of a misfortune to the parent
than to the child for the child to
have the idea that the parent's de
cision is a result of the child's tens
ing, rather than that of the parent's
understanding of what is right and
Wat in a given case.
No parent can have the truest re
spect of his chihl while the child
knows that he can tease that parent
into compliance with the child's re
ipiest contrary to the parent's real
or supposed conviction. For the
chibl's sake, therefore, and also for
the parent's, every child ought to be
trained not to tease and not to ex
pect any possible advantage from
teasing. Sunday School Times.
