WOMAN IN THE SOUTH.
"But," says one, "all this is chang
ed; the stately homes are destroyed or
outside the reach of the original own
ers; there are no slaves to direct and
teach; the mistress, in the acceptance
of the old regime, is a thing of the
dead past. What is woman in the
South to-day?"
As in St. Paul's Cathedral; London,
on the monument of ChristopherWren
so we cela say of the wdrk of the south
ern women: "Look hroyndr' As
nothing surpassed her courage, her
fortitude, her untiring patience and
energy, her persistent effort during
the war, so the still greater demand
for such virtues after the battle was
over found her as ready and respons
ive as before. Whenever woman can
labor without losing the dignity of
womanhood the women of the South
go. In the homne, in the schoolroom,
at the ledger and the desk, with the
needle, the pen and pencil, the brush,
in music, in useful and decorative art
and in all the handicrafts where deft
ness and delicacy supercede physical
strength, she is at Work; in short,
whatever her hands and head find to
do she is doing willingly and uncom
plainingly. Out from the stately
homes of wealth and luxury, out from
the genial fireside of comfort and
thrift, fron" the ranks of life and de
grees of fortune, from the stone man
sions of Virginia to the graceful and
picturesque villas of Alabama cane
brakes and the Mississippi Valley,
she has gone at the call of duty into
the rank and file of working-women,
clad in the inVulnerable armor of pa
tient endurance and womanly dignity.
And for this she is entitled to sympa
thy and honot. - Zitella Cook, in Con
tinental Illustrated Magazine.
A National Event.
The holding of the World's Fair in
a city scarcely fifty years old will be
a remarkable event, but whether it
will really benefit this nation as much
as the discovery of the Restorative
Nervine by Dr. Franklin Miles is
doubtful. This is just what the
American people need to cure their
excessive nervousness, dyspepsias head
ache, dizziness, sleeplessness, neural
gia, nervous debility, dullneag, confu
sion of mind, etc. It acts like a1
charm. Trial bottles and fine book

'"THE BLUE HEN'S CHICKET."
Everybody knows that natives of
Delaware are called the "Blue Hen's
Chicken's," but not one in a hundred t
can tell why: they are so called. The '
epithet is said to have had its origin t
in the following:
One of Dela*are's most gallant
fighters in the. War of the Revolution
was a captain Caldwell, who-was noto
rious for hisf ondness forcock-fighting. 1
He drilled his men' admirably, they
being known throughout the army as
"Caldwell's gamecocks." This same
Caldwell held to thepeculiar theory I
that no cook was really game unless
its mother was a blue hen. As the,
nhonthsgaore away Caldwell's men be
came known as the' "Blue Hen's
Chicken's," a title .which only increas
ed their respect for the old game-cock
captain. The' nickname. became fa
mous, 'artd after the cluse of the war
was applied indescriminately to. all
natives of the "Diamond- State."'

GIANTS OF OLDEN TIMES.
In one of his recent lectures Prof.
J. A. Williams alludes to the discov
ery of an enormous liidiid 80 feet in
length. The Professor infers (as no
living specimen of that magnitude
has been found) that the species which
it represents has become degenerated.
The verity of his position he endeav
ors to enforce by an allusion to the
well-known existence of human giants
in olden times. The following is the
list upon which this singular hypo
i thesis is based:
A giant exhibited in Rouen in 1830
Prof. William says, measured. nearly
18 feet in height.
. Gorapius once saw a girl of 12 years
who was 10 feet high.
The giant Galabra, brought from
Arabia to Rome luring the reign of
Claudius Caesar, was 10 feet high.
Fannum, who lived in the time ofi
Eugene II., measured 11 feet 6 inches
in height.
Chevalier Scrog, vhfile exploring a
cavern in the Peak of Teneriffe,
found a skull which must have be
longed to a man at least 15 feet high.
It contained sixty perfect teeth of
monstrous size.
The giant Ferregus, slain by Orlan-,
do, the nephew of Charlemagne, was
28 feet high and so heavy that no
horse could be found that- was strong
enough to bear him.
In 1874 the tomb of a giant was
opened at St. Germain who must have
been at least 30 feet high in life.
As late as 1850 a human skeleton
19 feet long was discovered at Rouen,
France. The skull, which was per
feet with the exception of the under
jaw, held a bushel of wheat.
In 1824, near the castle of D au
phine, a monstrous tomb was discov
ered. It was 30 feet long, 16 wide
and 8 high. The inscription, "Kinto
lochus Rex," was cut in hard gray
stone. The skeleton was found entire,
154 feet long, 10 feet across the shoul
ders and 5 feet from the breast-bone
to the back.
The vicinity of Palermo, Italy, has
yielded three remarkable human skel
etons, one'ifi 1410, one in 1516 and
1550. The first was 21, the second 30
and third 34 feet in height.
In 1816 a skeleton was dug up near
Mazrino, Sicily, the skull of which
was as large as a common wine eaisk.
Each of the teeth weighed seven
ounces.

A story lliustrating the Rea. Fraink
M. Bristol's business sldrewdness ha
just transpired, says the Chicagn News:
Some years ago while Mr. C. F. Gun
tCher was gop.g over a lot of old: trapsi
M'r.ABristol hove in sighit 1ii assisted
in the work. . One bo.ful of miscellih
neois truni iery seenlie to interesttheoI
clergyman.
"It is mere lumber," said Gunther,
disdainfully. "I have looked it over
and it is hardly worth keeping."
"If you'll sell it cheap enough I'll
buy it," suggested Bristol.
"You can have it $50," said Gun-i
ther.
"Well, I guis I'll take ht along,
then," said Bristol,]iand paying down
the 850 he lugged the old boxful of
trumpery home.
In less than four weeks thereafter
Mr. Bristol sold back to Mr. Gunther.
$40 worth of that old trumpery and
still retained a large number of itemr
worth, as he estimated; several hun
dred dollars more. Gunther say, that
if Bristol were wrecked on a dese'rt'
island he would soon swim home with
a basketful of $20 gold peices on his'
back.
"The luck of other men isn't to be'
compared with Bristol's luck," says;
Gunther. "For example, we were
walking in State street some years ago;
the street was crowded. As we passed
along, engaged in earnest converst
tion, I noticed just before us an ugly;
hole in the sidewalk caused by the
breaking and misplacement of a flag
stone. I skipped over the dangerous
spot, but Mr. Bristol preoccupied in
conversation,, stumbled and fell plump
into the ugly hole. Seeing him
sprawled on the ground, I hastened to
his assistance.
" 'Are you hurt?"'
" 'I fear I hade barked my shins,'
' said he.
" 'How unlucky,' cried I; 'how un
Ilucky that of the thousands of people
nassing this hole to-night, you should
be the one to fall in it.'
"'I cannot repine,' said Bristol,
scambling to his feet, "for see what I
have found.'
"It was an elegant gold watch and
chain. How it'came in that hole was
never learned; the advertisements in-'
serted by Bristol in the press were nev
er answered by the originalowner, the
watch brought *1,500 at public sale,
," for an inscription on the case indica-
that it was at one time the property of
George Washingtonl"
