"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.

Giants in Oideu Times.
The giant exhibited at lloucn in
i 1330 measured nearly eighteen feet.
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.
