But modern scientists east the legend of Jack, the Giant Killer, into the limbo of nursery fables and tell us that there were no such men- of the stature ascribed to the gigaatic kings , against whom Jack struggled with in- j variable success. The scientific con clusion recently advanced leaves no giants to disturb the nursery imagina tion, and, therefore, infarenlially proves that there was no Jack to kill them. The statement has been seri ously made that no man ever lived, and no man is alive to-day, who ex ceeded or exceeds eight feet six inches in height. complete refutation of this is presented by a Copenhagen Ooios3USj one Lewis Wilkins, who will appear at the 9th and Arch Streets Museum nest week, and who is. authentically the tallest mar* on earth. This is no advance agent slory, but Wilkins is such a remarka ble piece of human statuary that he is worth talking about as an illustrative refutation of scientists' conclusions and a delightful confirmation of tales of the cradle. Lewis Wilkins meas ures eiglit feet six and three-quarter inches?the advance agent says "in his stocking feet?but we will elimi nate that customary proposition as to a man's stature and give h>.m that altitude regardless of the sto?kings. He wears a 12 7-8 hat, a 16 glove, a 28 shoe, a 26 collar and weighs 465 pounds. It is true that these meas urements do not size up with the giants of the pages of the Bible and "oT^T^-ill^but it is also true thai; there is ncT" L!vurT?*?c>iu'* "uthentic retord of there ever hauSi^l ? * m*n of .the stature credited tolv*fl?^ . We are cold in the Bibl>?Wi^ the bedstead of Og, King of Basham, w'fteV^ 9 cubits long, which in English mean ure is 16 1-2 feet. Goliath, of Gath, who was slain by David, stood 6 ?ubits and a span tall?about 11 feet. The bodv of Orestes, according to the Greeks., was 11 1-2 feet long. Pliny describes Gabbaras, who was brought to "Rome from Arabia by Claudius Caesar, as being between 9 and 10 feet in height, and adds that the renainB of Posio and Secuudilla, found in tho reign of Augustus Caesar, in the- Sal lustian gardens, measured 10 feet S inches each. Herodotus says thai the shoes of Perseus measured an equiva lent of about 3 feet, English standard. Josephus tells of Eleazar, who was nearly 11 feet. Saxo, the gramma rian, montions a giant 13 1-2 feet high. Ferragus, who w?s slain by -Sfe?-, ?K-- fiOpk-j? of Cmi!4es?gh?7 was said to have been nearly 11 feet high. There are fabulous stories of the Emperor Maximiliau. Some ac counts say that he was between 8 1-2 Feet high, and used his wife's ! (et for a finger ring. The Em-1 ;>crors Jovohjus and Charlemagne are !t? also credited with great height. T3 e naturalist Turner say ? that on lata, near the Brazilian v. saw naked savages 12 feet ad io his description of Amcr enot confirms th?3 by saying aw the skeleton of a savage gian rh< vas 11 feet 5 inches iu height. bave been numerous accounts finding of human boues which belonged to .giants ranging from 20 to 36 feet in height, but comparative anatomy has punctured the stories by proving conclusively that the bones were those of mastodons, elephants and other animals. Modern scientists are slow to believe that, any men ever existed who measured over 9 feet, and .-?. comparison of the stature of Giant Wilkins with those of whom any authentic record exists reveals his supremacy over all other giants, an cient and modern. In fact, Quctelet considers that the tallest man whose stature is authentically recorded was the '"Scottish Giant" of Frederick the Great's regiment of giants. He wan uot quite 8 feet 3 inches tall. Fron: che original estimate of the height of Adam (Ilcnriot once calculated that Adam's height was 123 feet and that of Eve 118) we gradually come to 10 feet, which seemed to be the favorite height of giants in the middle ages. Approaching this century, we still have stories of men from 9 to 10 feet high, but uo autheutic cases. It wae only in the latter part of the last cen tury that we began to have absolutely authentic heights of giants, and to day the men showing throughout the country as measuring 8 feet generally exaggerate their height several inchee, and exact measurements would show that but few men commonly called giants arc over 7 1-2 feet or weigh over 350 pound:.-.

If wo confine ourselves to those accurately and scientifically measured the list is sur prisingly strong. Topinard measured the tallest man in the Austrian army and found that he was 8 feet 4 1-2 inches. Dr. George U. Gould and Dr. Walter L. Pyle, in their interest ing work on the anomalies and curiosi ties of medicine, state that the Ger man giant Winckelmeyer measured S feet 6 inches in height. Raukc meas ured Marianne Wende, who was born in Germany in the present century, and found her tobe 8 feet4 1-2 inches when only 161-2 years old. In giants, as a rule, the great stature is due to excessive growth of the lower extremi ties, the size of the head and that of the trunk being nearly the same as those of a man or boy of the same a^c. Giant Wilkins is an exception to this rule. His head and limbs are in true proportion to his gigantic height, j The last century was prolific in giants. Edmund Mallone was said to have measured 7 feet 7 inches. Wierski, a Polander, was 8 feet high. There died in 1798 a clerk of the Back of England who was said to have bee n nearly 7 1-2 fe?. high. The London Daily Advertiser for February 23, 1745, says there was a young Colossus exhibited opposite the Mansion House, who, although but 15 years old, was 7 feet high. John Middleton, whose portrait is now in Brasenose College, Oxford, was 8 feet 3 inches tall. In 1712 there died in a village of Holland a fisherman named Gerritt Bastianscn who was 8 feet high and weighed 500 pounds. About 1812 there was issued an engraving of Angelina Melins, 19 years of age and 7 feet high, attended by her page, Senor Santos, from the island of Manilla, 35 years old, and 2 feet 2 inches high. The Annual Reg ister records the death of Peter Tuchan at Posen on June 18, 1825, of dropsy of the chest. He was 29 years old and 8 feet 6 inches high. Dr. Adam Clarke, who died in 1832, meas ured a man 8 feet 6 inches tall. Frank Buckiand in his "Curiosities of Nat ural History" says that Brice, the French giant, was 7 feet 7 inches. Robert Hale, the Norfolk giant, who died at Yarmouth in 1843 at the age of 43 was 7 feet 6 inches high and weighed 455 pounde. The skeleton of Cornelius McGrath, now preserved in the Trinity College Museum at Dub ais, measures 7 feet 10 inches. O'Brien, the Irish giant, at the T?fflfe?ifhis death iblSS^at the age of 227w*^eefc 4 inches ra-height. John Hunter]*"*a*44gtinguished sci??-' tiet of the time, wometf?Q!J3rien con siderably by vowing thar/^r?G^W?uld have the latter1 ? skeleton mountech for his study. The giant was literally hounded by the savant, who never lost 1 sight of him. When O'Brien came to his deathbed he bribed some fisher men to take his body after his death to the middle of the Irish Channel and sink it with leaden weights. Hunter, ; it is alleged, was informed of this, and over-bribed the prospective un dertakers and thus secured the body. | I The skeleton, together with the huge j ; kettle in which the bones were boiled, is preserved among other Hunt?fi?iT relics in^ the^fe^n^?t^the Royal ??ollege of Surgeons in London. Pat- 1 riok Cotter, who succeeded to O'Brien's title of the Irish giant, was 8 feet 4 inches tall at his death in 1806. Chang, the Chinese giant, who has been exhibited in this city, was 8 feet tall. In 1866, at the age of 19. he measured 7 feet 8 inches. At Ilawick, Scotland, in 1870, there was ? giant 7 feet 8 inches in height, 52 inches around the chest, who weighed 22 stone. Leah, "the skeleton gian tees," who has frequently been exhib ited in this city, is 7 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds. Capt. Mar tin Van Buren Bates, who was born in Whitesburg, Ky., on November 9, 1845, is 7 feet 2 1-2 inches tall; Tic enlisted in the Southern army in 1861, and, although only 16-years old, was , admitted on accouut of his size.

The following anecdote has been associated with the name of a well known clergyman's helpmeet in Scot land : The minister had been enter taining at dinner a clerical friend from some distance. The evening was un propitious, and the friend was invited jj^gljjjiriduring the night, and the irienu acceprBWBe ' walked together for sometime in t manse-garden. At dust the minister asked the visitor to step into the house, while he would give directions to his man-servant to get his friehd'e conveyance ready in the morning. ?i the stranger entered the manse, the mi?ister's wife mititook him for her husband in the twiiight ; ehe raised the pulpit Bible, which chanced to be on the lobby-table, and bringing the full weight of it across the visitor's shoulders, exclaimed, emphatically: "Take that for asking that ugly wretch to stay all night 1" No Klondike for Him* "Mister Secretary," said one of John Sherman's house servants to him the other day, "l'se done read a powerful lot about dis yere Klondike and I reckons it m' duty to go up yonder."

"So I hear, Abraham ; but you must remember that up in Klondike the days are six months long." When Abraham opened the door for me later I asked him if he were going to the Klondike.

Cruel Km??h The alarming increase in the amahs* of deaths which occur as the result of a surgical operation is attracting general attention, and a strong Beatisele against euch m?thode of trsatasent sa fast developing among the moat intelli gent classes. It seems that is aimeet every case for which the doctors' treat* ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi cians decide at once that1 an operation mast be periormed, and the keen blade of the surgeon is recklessly resorted ta. Doctors are human, and of coarse ess liable to make mistakes, bul: their mis takes are too fatal to be ioduhped fa promiscuously, and as so many lives are sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural for the public to believe, th.it half the operations are unnecessary, besides .feed ing a fearful risk to human life* eves U successful. It is a positive fact, however, that all operations are not necessary, and that a majority of them are absolutely under taken without the slightest chance of success. The doctors have never bees able to cure a blood disease, und a sur gical operation is their only method of treating deep-seated cases, such as can cer and scrofulous affection u Aside from the great danger, ca operation never did and never will cure cacee?, es the disease never fails to retira.

Here is a case where the pain ieflfeted on a six-year-old boy was' SMieciaUj cruel, and after undergoing thei?ftuz?e produced by the Burgeon's kaife he tae> idly grew worse. Mr. J.

Finally Prof. . T. Mason of the natur : luseuni, -aid the bird and arrow :ould have come from no other place on the globe than the Yukon valley, for except in that region no such arrows are made. Science docs not pretend to say how long the goose had carried the arrow of a Yukon tribesman until it met its death from the shot of a civilized gunner down on an Tndiana marsh. The bird disdained the weapon of a savage, but turned up its legs to the marksmanship of the Hoosier farmer years afterward, and thousands of miles away from its summer home in Artie desolation, as it was journeying southward. Prof. Blatchley, State geologist, has just received from AV. W. Cheshire, formerly of Crown Point, a photograph of the goose's breastbone with the arrow aiiixed. It shows that the arrow struck the keel of the breastbone in the middle and stopped, with its length equally divided by the keel. Around it a callus has formed, holding it fast, but it seems that the shaft of the arrow dropped off when the bone was pen etra ted.?Cincin nati Enquirer. ?

There are Mowers on the market claiming ''Roller Bearings like the Deering," but their claim is lalsosad misleading.
