what reason? Pit! not this passes* slip in
by mistake into the sacred Scriptures, as
sometimes a paragraph utterlv obnoxious
to the editor gets into his newspaper dur
ing his absence Is not this Scriptural er
rata? No, no; there is nothing haphazard
about the Bible. Tais passage of Scripture
was as certainly Intended to be putin the
Bible as the verse. "In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth." or,
• God s - loved the world that He gave His
oniv begotten Son."
And I select it tor my text to-day because
it is charged with practical and tremendous
meaning. Fv the peopleot Got the Philis
tines had conquered, with the excep
tion of a few giants. Tae race of giants is
mostly extinct, lam glad to say. There is
lio use for giants now except to enlarge the
income of museums. But there were maDy
ofthem in olden times. Goliath was. ac
cording to the Bible, eleven feet four and a
ha',! inches high. Or. if you doubt tais,
the famous Piiny. declares that it Crete,
by an earthquake. a monument was broken
open, discovering the remains of a giant
forty-six cubits long, or sixty-nine feet
high. So. whether you take sacred or pro
fane history, you must come to the conclu
sion that there were in those times cases of
human altitude monstrous and appalling.
David ha t smashed the siail of one of
thft-e giants, but there were other giants
that the Pavidean wars had cot yet sub
dued. and one of them stands ;n my text.
He was not only of Alp is* stature, but had
a surplus -of digits. To the ordinary lingers
was annexed an additional flager. and tiie
foot hat also a superfluous addendum.
He had twenty-lour terminations t. hands
and feet, where others have twenty. It was
not the only instance off the kind. Vav.r
nier the teamed writer, says that the Eca
p<M«t off Java ha I a s:a endowed with the
same nuts be? of extremities. Volcattns.
the poet, had s.x fingers on each hand.
Maui. ertu:s. itihbcelebrated letters speais
of two families near Berlin similarly
equipped of hand and foot. Ail of which I
can teiiere.for I tare two cases of the
same physical superabundance. Su; this
g-.act o'f tae text :s in battle, and as Pavid.

giant, the nephew of t'avid says this m :ti

The pro'ta'r. icy was that in the battle his

In all directions, and you wonder whether

and vou are like a ben under a sky full ot

get your overgrown chickens safely under

important things to others that you are apt

P israeli says that a king of Poland
abdicated his throne and joined the people,
i and became a porter to carry burdens. And
some one asked him why he did so, and he
| repliedi "Upon my honor, gentlemen, the
lead which I east "oft was by far heavier
than the one you see me carry. The weighti
est is but a straw when compared to that
weight under which I labored. I have
! slept more in four nights than I have dur
img all my reign. I begin to live and to be
; a king myself. Elect whom yoa choose,
i As for me, I am so welt it would be madness
| to return to court."
| 4 "Well,''savs somebody, "such overloaded
i persons ought to be pitied, for their worri
! meats are real and their insomnia and their
1 nervous prostration are goncine. I reply
that they could get rii of the bothersome
1 surplus bv giving it away. It a man has
more houses than he can carry without
; vexation, let him drop a few of them. If
! his estate is so great he cannot manage it
wichout getting nervous dyspepsia from
having too much, let him divide with those
1 who have nervous dyspepsia because they
; cannot get enough. No! they guard their
sixth linger with more care man they did
: the original live. They go limping with
what they call gout and know 'not that,
: like the giant of my text, they are lamed
! by a superfluous toe. A few of them by
! charities bleed themselves of this flnancial
obesity and monetary plethora, but many
of them hang onto the hindering super
fluity till death; and then, as they are ooui
; celled to give the money up anyhow , in
1 their last will and testament they gener
! ousiy give some ot tt to the Lord, expect
ing. no doubt. that He will feel very much
obliged to them. Thank God that once in
a while we have a Peter Cooper, who. own
ing an interest in the iron works at Tren
ton. said to Mr. Lester. ■ I do not feel quite
easy about the amount we are maiing.
Working under one of our patents, we nave
a monopoly. w_ich seems to me something
wrong. Everybody has to come to us for
i it.and we are making money coo fast."
S** they reduced the pri 'e. and this white
oar philanthropist wis building Cooper In
stitute which mothers a hundred institutes
' of kindness and mercy ali over tae land.
Bat the world had to wait rive thousaii
eight hundred years for Peter Cooper!
I am glad for benevolent institutions
that get alegi.-y from men wno during
their life were as stingy as but who
' in their last will and testament bestowed
money on hospitals and missionary socie
ties. but fo-r such testators I haven: re
| specs. They w:uli have taken every cent
■of it with them if they could and bought
up half of neaven ani let it out at ruinous
' rent, or loaned the money to celestial ctti
rens at two per cent, a month, and got a
' -'corner" on narps ani trumpets. They
1 lived tilth is world ifty aal years in
the presence appalling suffering and
want and made nb efforts for their relie'.
Ice charities off such peoo.e are in the
Paulop-.'st future tense, they are rotng
to do them. Toe probability Is t uat if sn :h

Women in Saloon*.
If there is one thing more than another
calculated to disgust and dishearten the
temperance worker it Is the sight of worn- .
ec. in saloons—en .'there of families making
periodical trips tor beer. Some of these
women have the appearance of extreme i
poverty, se ma.'l so that it is a puzzle to
the observer how they *an afford money
for drink. Some staii. boldly int > th-* bar
room among drinking swearing men. as if
en: nasoious that there ever existed sn -h a
thing as wo'maniv modesty, while others
*i:ak in and ©a: furtively, as though
ashamed to be seen in such a place. S :me

Five Dollar* Postage For Lctlera.
W. F. Bailey contributes an article
to the Century on "Tha Pony Ex
press," from St. Joseph, Mo., to San
Francisco. Mr. Bailey says: The
letters, before being placed in the
pockets, were wrapped in oiled silk
to preserve them from moistare. The
maximum weight of any one mail was
twenty ponnds; but this was rarely
j reached. The charges were originally
j So for each letter of one-half ounce or
; leas: but afterward this was reduced '
! to $2.50 for each letter not exceeding j
one-half ounce, this being in addition ■
| to the regular United States postage, j
! Specially made light-weight paper was j
j generally used to reduce the expense.
Special editions of the Eastern news- !
papers were printed on tissue-paper I
to enable them to reach subscribers on >
the Pacific coast. This, however, was
more as an advertisement, there be
ing little demand for them at their !
necessarily large price.
The King of Bells.
The two biggest bells in the world
are the one in Moscow and the one at j
Mengoon, Upper Burmah. TLe
; former is the bigger, but it is cracked,
while the latter is in working order.
The weight of this hnge bell is about
ninety-eight tons, the circumference !
at rhe base being fifty-one and one
half feet, and at the top twenty-six
feet.
It averages over a foot in thickness
and is over twelve feet high. The
bell was east about the beginning jf
the century by King Bodawpayn as an
accompaniment to the huge brick pa
goda which he never finished. It is
said to have been cast on an island
and raited across. >"0 proper means
yet exist for striking the b«U. bat
when hit with a heavy piece of wood
it gives ont a deep vibrating boom.
