i; ' V ~ &v' Cf < ' ? WIT AN1) IS tT31011 "I don't care one cent for fashion, I have got to scratch uiy heel," exclaimed a Detroit man as he pulled down his boot in a street c?r recently. Ax Indiana gentleman thinks he hoe sufficient grounds for divorce because he asserts that his wife trapped bim into matrimony by means of false hair, false eyebrows, false complexion, a big bustle and^^jceitful tongue. Two deacons once disputing about a proposed new graveyard, oue remaiked: "I'll never be buritd in that grouud4 as long as I live." "What an obstinate man." said the other j "If my life is spared, I will. A oJontana editor bemoans the calamities of 1S75 in the following strain; "First the Beecher business, then the grasshoppers, then the Democratic victories, and now an increased tax on whisky. What is the poor couutry i caiingto?" The owner of a pair of bright eyes assures us that the piettiest compliment she ever received came from a child of f>ur years. The litt.'o leiiow, ancr looking intently at her lor a moment, inquired aaivelv: "Are your eyes new cues?" "I swear," said a gentlemen to his mistress, "you arc very handsome." "i'onh," said the lqdy, -Vo ycu would say, if you did not think so." "And so you would think." answered he, "if I did not say so." Paid she: "How long arc you going to stand before that glass?" ''Until I sec how uiy ulster hangs. But that's just the way ; a woman never takes any i interest in her husband's dress after khe v is married a year*" "Don't prevaricate. sir!" tl.uudercd a British Columbian Judge to a wit. ncss from the mines, "don't prevaricate, eir." "Can't help it, Judge," answer* cd the tuioer. "Ever since I got a kick in the tnouth from a mule, that knocked my teeth cut, I prevaricate a good deal." "Gentlemen of tho jury," said a ?'.a?A..n )?*vi>r "I dor.'t wish to i<n?in~ uate flint this tuaii id a covetous person, but I'll bet lire to one that if you bait a steel trap with n tnree cent piece, and place it wtthiu a foot of his mouth, you will catch bis soul." "Mary, why did you kiss your hand to tho gcutleuian opposite, this uioru. ing?" said a careful mother to her blooming daughter. "Why, the gen. tleman had the iiMpudeorc to throw a kiss clear across the street to me, and of course 1 threw it back iudignautly.

I' Gorapiu? saw a girl that was ten | feet high. L The gihnt Gaiabra, brought from Arabia to Home under Claudius L Caesar, \v.*i9 ton feet high. Fannmn, who lived in "the time of Eugene II, measured clevon and a half feet. The Chevalier Scrogg, in his voyage to the Peak Teneriflp, found in one of the caverns of that mountain the head of the Gunicb, who had sixty teeth, and was not less than fifteen feet high. The giant Faragus, slain by Orlando, nephew of Charlemagne, was twenty*eight feet high. In 1814, near St. Gernard, was found the tomb of the giant Isolent, who was not less than thirty feet high. In 1590, near Itouen, was found a skeleton whose skull held a bushel of com and win was nineteen feet high. The giant Bacart was twentytwo feet high. His thigh bones were found in 17G3, near the river Moder*. I T.. nMr tliA rastlo in Dan-1 ? (I 1V?VJ ? ? ? phine, a tomb was fonnddhirty feet lorn;, sixteen wide and eight high, on which was cut in gray stone these words: "Kentolochus ltex." The skeleton was found entire, twenty-five and a fourth feet long, ten . feet across the shoulders atid five feet horn the breast bone to the back. Near Palermo, in Sicily, in 151G was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high, and 1559 another forty, four feet high. ^ Near Magrino, Sicily, in 181G, was found tho skeleton of a giant thirty feet high. The head was the R17.H of a hozshcad, and each of his teeth weighed five ounce*. We have no doubt that there were "giants in those days," and the past perhaps was more prolific in producing them than the present. J>ut the history of giants during the olden time was not more remarkable than that of dwarfs, some of whom were even smaller than the Thumbs and Nuts of onr own time. \ -i Whj 31 en Need Wires. It is not to sweep the house, make the bed, darn the socks and cook the ineals, chiefly that a man wants a wife. If this is all he needs, hired help can do it cheaper than a wife. r^^If this is all, when a young man calls to a see a young ladv, send him into the pantry to taste the W bread and cake she has made, send ( hiin to inspect the ncedlewoik and , bed making, or put a broom in her < hand and send him to wi'ncss its 1 use. Such things nro important, ' ami the wise young men will quickly i look after tliern ; but what the true ' man wants with a wife is her companionship, sympathy and love. The /w:iy of life has many dreary places in it. and man needs a companion to go with him. A man is sometimes ' / overtaken by misfortune; lie meets with failure and defeat; trials and temptations beset him, and he needs one to stand by aflti sympathize. He has some hard battles to fight with poverty, enemies and with sin; and he needs a woman that, when he puts his arm around her, he feels he has something to fight for, she will help him to fight; that she will put her lips to his ear and whisper words of counsel, and her hand to his heart and impart inspiration. All through life, through storms and through sunshine, conflict and victory ; through adverse and through favoring winds, man needs a woman's love. The heart yearns for it. A sister's and a mother's love will hardly supply the need. Yet many seek for nothing further than success in housework. Justly enough, half of th?9e get nothing more; the other half, surprised beyond measure, have gotten more than they sought. Their wives surprise them by bringing out a noble idea in marriage, and disclosing a treasury of courage, sympathy and love. Air duns. The most perfect air guns in the world are probably those which arc made in London for the use of English poachers. As they make no smoko, and consequently no smell, they are not so easily detected as fire arms when used in game preserves. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that tney make no noise. When charged, so as to produce the effects above described, the report is sharp?full as sharp as that produced by gunpowder. When lightly charge?l the report is of course diminished, but the force with which the bullet is projected is also proportionately lessened, and so is the recoil. As a weapon for secret assas* aiuation, therefore, the air gun does not have much advantage oter a good rifle cane, fortunately for the world, perhaps. 1 he omy advantages possessed by tho air gun are its perfect cleanliness and the fact that the parts are not liable to be corroded or rusted. It never requires cleaning, but the labor of charging the condenser may be lairly offset against the labor involved in cleaning o-dinary fire arms' after they have been used. County Indebtedness.
