MYSTERY OF THE GROWTH OP
THE HUMAN BODY.
"Why Men Grow or Do Not?The
Mechanism ot Increase in Dimension?
Remarkable Examples
ot Abnormal Growth.
Why do we attain a certain size an 1
weight of body and thsn cease to grow?
Why is one person limited in stature to
a few inches while another stretches up
several feet ? Why i* it that oue at maturity
weighs not above fifty pounds and
another attains a weight ten times as
great? These are all questions of growth,
and some marvelous examples are recorded.
Nearly every nation has produce J its
celebrated giant, and most nations more
than one. Jame3 Toller, born at St.
Neots, Huntington, England, "at the age
of ten years had attained tbe surprising
height of five feet and upward; at the
age of eighteen years he had reached the 1
height of upward of eight feet aud one
and one-half inche3, and was still in progress
of growth."
Two separate men, each of whom was
eight feet in height, claimed the cognomen
of "The Irish Giant O'Brien" at
the same time. The skeleton of one of
these is to be found in the Museum of I
the College of Surgeons, London. It
was bought by the celebrated surgeon,
John Hunter, who paid $2500 for the
body for the purpose of dissection. This
O'Brien died from a debauch at the age
of twenty-two. Tiie other O'Brien,
whose real name was Patrick Cotter,
earned a fortune by exhibiting himself,
and attained the extreme limits of a
giant's life?forty-six years. He took
the precaution to have his grave chiseled
out of the solid rock twelve feet deep
and provided that it should be kept
locked and constantly watched. This
O'Brien used to amuse himself by light'

j quite terrified a high way man who on one j
occasion had stopped O'Brien's carriage j
by simply putting his head out of the
window and stretching himself up to his
full height.
The skeleton of another Irish giant to
be found in the anatomical room of
Trinity College, Dublin, is seven feet
six inches in height, and constituted the
frame work of McGrath, born inTipperary,
who made the tour of Europe as
the "Prodigious Irish Giant." His
enormous growth was said to have been
the result of an experiment made by the j
oplphrflted Bishon Berkeley, who DUtthe I
boy?an unfortunate orphan ? through
a fattening process with this result.
Bernardo Gigli, an Italian, attained
the height of eight feet when only j
eighteen years of age. Big Sam, the i
Prince of Wales' porter, who was nearly \
eight feet in hsight, is the tallest Scotch- j
man, unless we credit the account given
by M. Le Cat, who tells of the Scotch
giant "Funnum, who lived in the time
of Eugene II., King of Scotland," and
who measured eleven and one-half feet
in height. The giant of Utrecht, Holland,
described by Dr. Diemerbrock, the :
aDatomiit, stood eight and one-half feet
in height. The king of giants, nowever, |
was ChristoS Munster, born at Erlosen, j
near Munden, in June, 1630, who, ac- j
cording to authentic records, attained a
height of nine and one-half feet, three
inches talier than Goliath of Gath. He
served in the body guards of the Elector
and lived forty-four years.
Rapid decay seems to naturally follow i
rapid and excessive development. A re- I
markable illustration of this is shown in j
an account given by Dr. Dawkes, a surgeon
of St. Ives, who published, in 1744,
"An Account of the Gigantic Boy of
Willingham." This boy was Thomas
Hall, who, when two years eleven
months old, was three feet and nine
inches in height, and at the age of lour
years, one month, was four feet five
inches in height, so, had he grown to
manhood at this rate, he would have at-?J
*? WUn ho
tameu :imc ui icu itsi. nuuu ?.v>.
in his fifth year he had a thick pair of
whiskers and -weighed about eighty-five
pounds.
That the period of growth is not limited
to the legal age of maturity is true. A
gentleman thirty years of age connected
with a literary journal of this city two
years ago was six feet two inches in
height, and is now six feet four. He is
in perfect health and presents a remarkably
youthful appearance.
The immediate factor in the stoppage
of growth seems to be the hardening of
the bones, particularly the long bones,
through the secretion of lime'. But this
is probably a mere incident resulting from
the influence of food, excessive physical
exercise, cold or some other force affecting
the general system. Among the recipes
given for checking the growth of
children is that of anointing the backbone
with the fat of bats and moles.
This is said to have the effect of hardening
the cartilage and thus preventing
growth. "Sweating," the process used
for reducing the weight of jockeys, is
another means employed for checking |
development. It is said that dwarfs
have been artificially produced by the
horrible practice of feeding infants on
sour cider instead of milk.
As in the caso of giants, the stature of
these little people h.s, in most cases
probably, been the result of accident.
Contrary to their huge rivals in interest,
dwarfs frequently attain great aze.
Richebourg, who died in Paris in 1S53,
was ninety years old. He was only
twenty-three inches high, something less
than the stature of our own most celebrated
dwarf, General Tom Thumb. The
first English dwarf of whom there is authentic
recoid, was only one and a haif
feet high till thirteen year? of age, though
he afterward attained ti e height of three
feet nine inches. This wss Jeffrey Hudson,
who was presented to Queen Henrietta
by the Duchess of Buckingham.
Hudson on that occasion surprised the
company by stepping out of a pie. He
is said to have fought two duels, one
with a turkey cock and one with a Mr.
Crofts, whom he sI?ot and killed.
Mme. Teresia, known as the Corsican
fairy, was thirty-four inches high and
weighed only thirty-six pounds. She
lived to a good old age, though the exact
period is unknown.
When growth is attained, the skeleton
having reached its proportions, any adverse
influence affectmg the lymphatic
system or nutritive supply in any way
tends to produce leanness. A welldeveloped
man, having drunk lye by accident,
after a prolonged illness and recovery
found himself a living skeleton.
A dissection of this man after death disclosed
the fact that the thoracic duct
bid bees nearly closed up. ....
Oa the other hand, any influence
which stimulates the nutritive mechanism
unduly degrades the secretive and assimilative
functions and tends to produce
abnormal fat. The living skeleton,
with his limited capacity for food and
assured income as a freak, enjoys some
degree of happiness, but the fat person
deserves commiseration. The statistics
of this class are quite extensive.
Mr. Bright, an English grocer of
Maiden, weighed a trifle of 610 pounds,
aud an Irishman, Roger Byrne, who died
in ISO J, was "several stones heavier than
the celebrated Mr. Bright." Mr. Spooner,
of Tamworth, though of medium height,
weighed 6S0 pounds.
The traveler in London something
less than a century ago might have noticed
the following poster.
Mr. Daniel Lambert of Leicester
The Heaviest Man that ever Lived!
Weighs upward of Fifty Stone!!
Mr. Lambert will sea company at his
house, number 53 Piccadilly, next Albany,
nearly opposite St. James Church, from 11
to 5 o'clock. Tickets of admission, One
Shilling Each.
Mr. Lambert had been keeper of the
old county Bridewell at Leicester, and
despite of his physical immensity, wa3 a
very intelligent and active person. A
Kentish innkeeper named Palmer,weighing
only 350 pounds, visited Mr. Lambert,
and appears to have been deeply
mortified at his own inferiority, for, on
returning home, he was suddenly taken
ill and died. Mr. Lambert weighed 759
pounds just before his death.
Though rules for the reduction of fat
are more easily given than followed, we
are assured by a once "heavy" man, who
tried the experiment successfully for
twenty-four days, that absolute abstinence
from food will cure it, and to
those who possess sufficient determination
to follow his example this rule is
therefore commended. ? 2Veu> York

Two Girls Sara a Train.
There are two young girls now in St.
Paul who are deserving of honorable
mention for a recent prompt and heroic
act. of theirs which resulted in saving a
passenger train from wreck with the
probable loss of human life. The two
girls are Lizzie Barron, of this city, and
Carrie Butcher, who lives near Shakopee.
The former was visiting her friend at
Shakopee not long since, and it was during
this visit that the act of bravery was
performed.
The girls were one day taking a stroll,
and about four miles east of Shakopee
they came to the track of the Hastings
and Dakota division of the Milwaukee
Railroad, along which they started to
walk. They had not proceeded far when
they discovered that the beams of a
wooden culvert had caught fire and almost
entirely burned away. There was
nothing left but a shell, which would
scarcely bear up under the weight of a
hand car, but, a few rods away, nothing
amiss could be detected, as the rails were
still in their proper positions.
At the time of the discovery it wa3
inst: nhout time for the exDress to pass.
and the situatiion at once flashed upon
the minds of the two girls. Instead of
becoming panic scricken and running
away to find help, which, they realized,
would probably come too late, they rushed
down the track toward the approaching
train, the roar of which could already be
heard in the distance. They had not
proceeded far when the train dashed
around a curve at full speed not far away,
and with a shriek of the whistle rushed
toward them. Older persons than they
might well have quailed before the approaching
monster and sought personal
safety in flight, forgetful of the danger
of which they would warn the engineer.
But their hearts never faltered and they
rnmainpd sfcandincr unnii the track, swing
ing their bonnets and gesticulating wildly.
Soon another shriek from the engine
told them that their signals were
comprehended by the eugineer, and they
stepped aside, while the train rushed by
them with the sparks of fire flying from
the wheels as they were gripped by the
steel shoes of the air brakes. The train
was brought to a standstill before the
ruined culvert was reached, and the girU
modestly received the thanks of the passengers
and trainmen for their prompt
action in averting a serious wreck.
When the Milwaukee officials became
aware of the facts in the case the general
manager issued orders to suitably reward
the two girls, which has just been done
by the local officers.?St. PuuZ Pioneer

Pictures of Running Water.
If we ask a person who has not thought
about the matter to represent with a
pencil, from memory, a stream or tan or
water, in nine cases out of ten he will
return the paper after having timidly
ventured upon a few parallel scratches,
looking as much as anything else like
the ruts in a road or the hairs of a horse's
tail. Yet we see liquids every day flowing
along the gutter, and from bottles
or pitchers; and we have all played
near brooks and cascades. The persons
who trace the parallel lines we have
spoken of suppose they are representing
the path traveled by the particles of
water?that is, a movement, an immaterial
thing which by its very nature
deSes all graphic representation. It is
true that a luminous point in very rapid
motion leaves on the "retina the impression
of a line. We are thus authorized
to represent a flash of lightning, the
course of a shell, and a gunshot; but we
hesitate to resort to that artifice to represent
the flight of an arrow through the
air or the movement of a sword to strike.
It will be well to make only a moderate
use of it in representing water. In fact,
these parallel lines do not exist, at least
not under that form. Furthermore, lines
do not show whether the stream is going
to the right or to the left, or vice versa.

Heavy Woods.
There arc 413 species of trees found
within the limits of the United States
and Territories, sixteen of which, when
! perfectly seasoned, will sink in water.
: The heaviest of these is the black lron!
wood (Condaiia ferrea), found only in
| Southern Florida, which is more thau
thirty per cent, heavier than water. Of
the other fifteen, the best known are the
lignum vit.e (Gniiacuui sanctum; and
the mangrove (lihizophora mangle).
Texas and New Mexico lands, full of
queer, creeping, crawling, walking, and
inanimate things, are the homes of a
species of oak (Quercus grisea) which is
about one and one-fourth times heavier
than water, and which, when green, will
sink almost as quickly as a bar of iron.
It grows only in mountain regions, and
has been found westward as far as the

A $4000 LINEN CHEST.
Mrs. Crawford writes from Paris: "A

i much worn. The yoke is lined, but the

AN ENTERPRISING WASHINGTONIAN.
In Washington is a young woman in
one of the departments, who, knowing
I the demand for flowers there, turned her
spare moments to floriculture, and last
year she sold over a hundred thousand
violets at good prices. She bought a
little farm near town and in the morning
and evening she gives it her personal
j supervision, and, while it is not yet sufficiently
remunerative to warrant her in
i giving up her place at the desk, it will

NOTE8 ON GLOVES.
A new dressy glove has a point on the
wrist, plain or embroidered.
If gloves are even dampened with perspiration,
pull them in shape, dry in the
air and pull in shape again.
Mend a break with cotton of thn same
shade. Gloves are stitched with cotton
?'to make tnem wear longer, tne giovers
ay.
When gloves are laid away in a box
they should be wrapped in paraffine tissue
paper. Never lay gloves together,
clean and soiled.
A fad of the season is the use of yellow,
pearl, white and lavender chamois
gloves, plain or stitched with black.
They cannot be worn as close fitting as
kid gloves, as they are not elastic. They
soil easily, but the yellow and white especially
wash well with a little care in
using refined soap and drying on the
hands to keep them in shape, if not the
owner of glove lasts.?Fashion?.

Notwithstanding the pride and satisfaction
with which the birth of a boy is
hailed, the little girl is the darling, the
object of the teoderest affection and care
of parents and brothers, not to speak of
other adoring relatives. Much is not ex!
pected of her in the way of assistance to
the family; she is indulged as far as their
means and circumstances permit, and
she takes it quietly as her due, but it is
rarely that she doe3 not voluntarily and
tacitly contribute her share in helping
her mother. Her occupations are much
the same as those of all European girls,
but parish work in Russia existeth not
for her. She cannot have classes at
Sunday-school, as religion is taught by
priests or deacons.
It ^ould be thought quite extraordinary
and improper were a young unmarried
girl to visit the sick or poor in
in towns, but in villages it is sometimes
done under the direction of mamma and
grandmamma. She is undoubtedly fond
of pleasures, likes to bo well dressed,

A Man Who Palms Tilings.
Two gentlemen shook hands in the
' street a day or two ago, and as they un;
clasped their hands a email wad of paper
I fell to the sidewalk. "What is this?"
. said one of the men, stooping to picK
! up the wad. ''Oh, that is my five dol
lar bill," said the other man. "I made
! a ball of it, and palmed it when I left
the house in order that I would not forget
to stop in at my proccr's and pay a
bill. But I forgot all about the confounded
thing."
"Do you mean to say that you have
carried that wad in the palm of your
hand for an hour or two without realizing
that it was there?"
"Certainly; I frequently carry small
articles in the palm of my hand for several
hours. They never fall out, and
they don't bother me. I learned the
trick of palming wheL I was a boy, and I
have practiced it ever since. I can palm
half a dozen coins at the same time and
retain them concealed in my hand all
day if I want to. I can eat my dinner,
smoke a cigar, rend a paper, and do almost
everything, except shake bauds,
without disturbing the palmed coin9. I
find the palming knack very useful some
times, particularly when I want to conceal
any small article temporarily."?yew

There was recently published by the
French Ministry of Finance an interesting
pamphlet in relation to the cost of
the world's postage, which gives some
very significant figures. The total cost
of the postal servica the world over is a
little less than $500,000,000. Of all
nations the United States is the most
liberal patron of the postoffice, with an
annual expenditure of $66,000,000.
Germany ranks secoud, spending $50,000,000
; but this also includes the
telegraph service, accounts not being
available for the separation of the two
services. Great Britain spends $49,000,000
for postal service, and France
about $28,000,000. * Thus it can be
seen that the United States is far in the
lead. Another feature of our service
that renders it better than that of any
other country is that the department
does not wait for a demand to spring
up, but that in all of the less settled
sections of the country, the postoffice
ha* preceded the population, and immigrants
are never without postal facilitiesID
this we differ widely from Europe,
wheie only considerable villages have
regular postoffices.?St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.
"The Fatal Patient."
Two years ago, it is said, a woman
afflicted with catarrh visited the Manhattan
Eye and Ear Hospital, to be
treated for her illness. Dr. Johnson,
who at that time had charge of Cabinet
D, treated the case, and two days afterward
he suddenly died. The patient
was relieved by the treatment, but six
months frot- he first date, on a return
of the malady, she again sought the institution.
Dr. Pond, then in charge,
attended her, and in two days after ho
Hiprl of heart failure, as the record states.
A week or so ago she again applied for
treatment, and Dr. David Phillips prescribed
for her. He dined the same day
with a friend, went home not feeling
very well, and was found dead in his
bed the next day. Whereupon the
story is published far and wide, and the
poor woman is set down as "The Fatal
Patient," whom it is dangerous for any
physician to treat. And yet n > person
of ordinary intelligence would see anything
very remarkable in the ( :,icidence

Curious Case of Color Blindness. ?
The London Lanut publishes a carious
case of color blindess. Tbe patient
was an engine-driver in Russia, about
forty years of age, whose vision was perfect
until 1889. Then he began to 6uffer
from violent headachcs, due to overexertion
and insufficient sleep, which
were followed by a loss of all power to
distinguish colors. Everything appeared
to him to be red, and he was obliged I
to throw up his position. Dr. M. Reich,
who examined him, could discover no 0
disease, but found his sight, focus, and
sensation of light normal. In May, 1890, .
the man again submitted himself for ex- 11
amination, declaring that his sense of
color had beeu restored. This proved
to be the fact. The Lancet thinks that "
"this case seems to show that sensation G
of color is perfectly independent of ti
physiological function." I

There's dangtf

our blood is "bad." It makes
linfTg easv for Consumption. But
iere's a cure for it in t)r. Pierce's
rolden Medical Discovery. A posiive
cure?not only for Weak
.ungs, Spitting of Blood, Bronhitis,
Asthma and all lingering
Joughs, but for Consumption itself
i all its earlier stages. It's re*>
onable. All these diseases depend
n tainted blood. Consumption if
imply Lung-scrofula. And for
very form of scrofula and bloodaint,
the "Discovery" is a certain
emedy. It's so certain, that its
lakers guarantee it to benefit or
