THE GIANT INDIANS. Peculiar Ways of the Onas of Tierra del Fuego. The Onas, a tribe of Indians inhabiting the mainland of the Tierra del Fuego island, are physical giants. Their average height is over six feet. A few are six and one-half feet; a few fall below six feet. The women are more corpulent and not so tall. There is no race in the world with a more perfect physical development than the Ona Indians. This is partly due to the topography of the country and the distribution of the game, which makes long marches across the country a necessity. In mentality they fall far below their physical attainments. In the past their supply of game has been plentiful, and this may account for the lack of inventive genius among them. This lack of progressive skill is portrayed in their home life, clothing and homes. Their children suffer from it, for, contrary to the practice common among most Indians of feeding, dressing and training the children well, the Onas' little ones are mostly naked, poorly fed and altogether neglected. They have abundant material for supplying themselves with clothing and homes, and yet they throw a few branches together, put skins over the windward side and then shiver under the miserable shelter. Scientists who have made a study of the subject say that the language of the Onas is the strangest ever listened to. Many of the words are not difficult to pronounce, nor is the construction of the sentences difficult, but very few words are interrupted by a sound which it is impossible to produce. The speaker hacks, coughs and grunts, distorting his face in the most inhuman manner, and then passes on to the next stumbling block. The Onas live principally upon meat, which in former years was obtained from the guanaco.—New York Herald. ST. SWITHIN AND RAIN.

Yes," answered the young conscientiously say I am. ST. SWITHIN AND RAIN. The Legend of the Chapel Over the Bishop's Grave. The superstitions referring to particular days are very numerous. The legend of St. Swithin is an example that will occur to every one: St. Swithin's day, if thou dost rain, For forty days it will remain; St. Swithin's day, if thou be fair, For forty days 'twill rain nae mair. St. Swithin, bishop of Winchester, according to the author of "The Popular Antiquities," was "a man equally noted for uprightness and humility. So far did he carry the latter virtue that on his deathbed he requested to be buried not within the church, but outside the churchyard on the north of the sacred building, where his corpse might receive the eavesdroppings from the roof and his grave be trodden by the feet of passersby. His lowly request was complied with, and in this neglected spot his remains reposed till about 100 years afterward, when a fit of plous indignation seized the clergy at the fact that the body of so holy a member of their order was allowed to occupy such a position, and on an appointed day they all assembled to convey it with great pomp to the adjoining cathedral of Winchester. When they were about to commence the ceremony a heavy rain burst forth and continued without intermission for the forty succeeding days. The monks interpreted this tempest as a warning from heaven of the blasphemous nature of their attempt to contravene the direction of St. Swithin, and instead of disturbing his remains they erected a chapel over his grave." "St. Swithin is christening the apples" is the more poetical way of describing St. Swithin's rain. A Fishing Spider.

It has long been understood that the real inventor of Macaulay's famous New Zealander was Horace Walpole, who, in a letter to Mason, written in 1774, said: "At last some curious traveler from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul's, like the editions of Balbes and Palmyra." But Mr. Bertram Dobell writes to the London Academy giving the idea an earlier date. He finds it embodied in this old title page: Poems, by a young Nobleman, of Distinguished Abilities, lately deceased; particularly, The State of England, and the once flourishing City of London. In a letter from an American Traveler, Dated from the Ruinous Portico of St. Paul's, in the year 2199, to a Friend settled in Boston, the Metropolis of the Western Empire. Also Sundry Fugitive Pieces, principally wrote whilst upon his Travels on the Continent. [Motto from Juvenal.] London, 1780. Mr. Dobell explains that, though the book is dated 1780, the poem in it on London is dated March 21, 1771. He attributes it to the profligate second Lord Lyttelton. Here is one of his extracts from the composition: And now thro' broken paths and rugged ways, Uncultivated regions, we advance'd Towards fam'd Augusta's towers, on the Thames (Whose clear broad stream glides smoothly thro' the vale) Embank'd, and stretching o'er the level plain, For many a mile her gilded spires were seen, While Britain yet was free—alas! how chang'd, How fallen from that envy'd height; what time She rul'd the subject nations, and beheld The Spaniard crouch beneath her spear, and all The Gallic lilies crimson'd o'er with blood. Extinguish'd are their glories, and her sun That once enlighten'd Europe with his beams, Sunk in the West is set, and ne'er again Shall o'er Britannia spread his orient rays! Height of Endurance.

Grogan, author of "The Saw It," gives this descripbit of scenery near the head-river of Egypt: "A long, sol of putrefying reeds, where foregather and great pythons and gorge themselves on hideous slither; long, gleaming bands through labyrinths of fetid and purple spume, where the glance, great butterflies flash, sees glint and the suck-suck of the roar of huge bellied frogs, aa's scream, merge in a sad cry; where in the ceaseless between fruition and decay us." A Fishing Spider. Star spider that is found in South America, principally in city of Buenos Ayres, catches certain seasons of the year.

Plates. Individual plates for table use were unknown to the ancients, who held their meat in their hands or employed the flat wheaten cakes then made on which to hold their victuals. They are first mentioned in A. D. 600 as used by the luxurious on the continent, and in the ninth century they had come into common use both in England and on the continent. They were made of wood or some kind of earthenware, the former material being preferred because it did not dull the knives. The Saturnalia. The saturnalia was a midwinter feast of the Romans in honor of Saturn, beginning on Dec. 17. On this occasion great license was given to every one to do what he pleased, and even the slaves were permitted much liberty of speech and action. All work was suspended, the houses and temples were decorated, congratulations were exchanged and presents sent as with us at Christmas. Better Be Careful. A sporting paper recommends a certain way of avoiding the bites of a dog, however savage. All one has to do is to stand perfectly still and hold one's hand out. The dog, says the writer, will take the hand into his mouth, but will not bite it. But what guarantee have we that the dog knows this?—London Globe. Differences of Opinion.
