Their name.s were Idusis and Secundilla, and they were keepers of the gates of the gardens of Sallust. Then - again we have a record in Pliny of one Polydamus, the son of Nicas, who was over nine feet high and 'vhose strength rivaled that of Hercules himself. Polydamus used, in fact, to boast his superiority to that loinan deity and perform his special tricks. For example, he once slew a lion with a blow of his fist and scat tered its brains about the arena. Ie could with his hand step the swiftest chariot dead and on one occasion seized a bull by the hoof in order to carry it away, but the animal strug gled so violently that the hoof was left in his hand. In the end he was killed by the falliug in of a cave. When his companions noticed that the roof was falling they left, but Polydamus was so vain about his strength that he thought he could not be killed. So he stayed and was finally crushed to deith. The Emperor Vitelllus sent to Darius by way of a present a Jew named Eleazer, who was seven cubits high that is, reckoning the cubits at eight een inches, ten feet six inches-and a giant who is mentioned by the his torlan Tacitus was over nine feet. Ihis name was Corbulo, and he lived in Nero's time and was a more than usu ally skillful general and soldier, be sides being an enormously strong man. An account of the ancient giants would he incomplete without mention ing MIaximinus, the imperial giant of the third century. The most extraor dinary stories are told of this emperor of Rome. Ihis height was eight feet ten inches, he could draw unaided a loaded wagon which six oxen could not move, while his appetite was so great that his usual rations for the day consisted of forty pounds of meat and a whole amphora of wine, besides bread and dried and fresh fruits. Mcediaevah giants are plentiful, but, strange to say, the records of them are not so authentic as those of the times of the emperors. Funnian, a Scottish giant who flormrished in 1827, seems to be the most authentic of these, but as he is put down as being over eleven fet hgh the statement should not be criticiied too closely. Still more star ting, however, is the following, which Is vouched for Ly a inoiiastery full of monks: In 1509 some workmen, dig ging near Rouen, came across a cave in which were some human bones and a copper plate, bearing the words, "ere lie the remains of the great and mighty Chevalier Ricon de 'Vallemnont" rhe skull was large enough to have held a bushel of wheat and the shin one was over four feet long. It (the hone) was preserved by the above men toned monks, and it was estimated that the height of the defunct knight must have exceeded- eighteen feet. A stranger though somewhat similar legend comes from Ireland, but in this case the discoverers thought that they would, to use an expression popular some years ago, go "the whole hog or none." It happened in 1608. Some men were digging in Ireland when they came across a brick tomb which con tained a human skeleton no less than 10 feet long. But there is a "raison detre" for all these legends. Accord ig to a German professor, these bones, which were supposed by ignorant per sons to be those of human beings, were probably those of mastodons or some other fossilized remains which to the uninitiated would look exactly like those of a man.-London Standard. An Amtable Duel. There was a duel in Edinburgh re cently between two Italians over a girl with whiom both1 were smitten. It took pace at midnight in the presence of a p~arty of friends. The duelists had but one revolver and drew lots for the first :8hot. The winner shot at forty paces and missed. Then he walked up to his oponent and politely handed the pis tol over. When the man had walked back to his station the second shot was fred and also missed. So the two men ushed forward and embraced each Iother, and the feud ended. Ca'i you1 - .

IMPROV Flue Curing Develops the S Found In Schnapps that I There are three ways used by far mers for curing and preparing their tobacco for the market; namely, sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery and improved way is called flue cured. In flue-curing the tobacco is taken from the field and suspended over intensely hot flues in houses especially built to re tain the heat, and there kept in the proper temperature until this curing process developes in the tobacco the stimulating taste and fragrant aroma found in Schnapps tobacco, just as green coffee is made fragrant and stimulating by the roasting process. Only choice selections of this ripe, juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the famous Piedmont country, where the best tobacco grows, are used in Schnapps and other Reynolds' brands of high grade, flue cured tobaccos.

Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, requires and takes less sweetening than any other kind, and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the kind of tobacco you are chewing don't satisfy, more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chew ers formerly bought costing from 75c. to $i.oo per pound; Schnapps is sold at 5oc. per pound in 5c. cuts, strictly 1o and 15 cent plugs. 1>ANY, WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.
