THOSE OBLIGING .. whi(,li iulbdtli height and breadth mea- sures about one and n half times es muoh'as it would, if symmetrical with the other parts of even so abnormally largo a head. The trunk of the body is about the bathe in size as that of many a big fat boy who walks the street, but the muscles aro soft and weal for want of activity. The measurement around the chest is 44 Welles, and around the waist 85 inches. Itis legs, however, are no Wolter than those of an eight- year-old boy of the ordinary e'ze. Ile extends his 'lauds to visitors, bids them good-elay, and chats with them in a ehildlah manner. He seems to have au evenly -balanced mind, but it is that of a prattling infant, 1Ie cannot read, and never would try to learn eveu the alpha bit, as his neck, although no ,weak- er that might be expected in a rerson who has always beon confined to bed, was not strong enough to move his bead withont giving hire rain. Both parents were healthy, of ordinary sta- ture, and possessed the average physi- cal development. They %ore engaged in itgrionitnra1 pn1'8nits 'about two miles from the village of Britigebnrough, which is a league from Riverside, New Jersey. A willow living au Fort street east has lately been greatly annoyed by several boys trying to steal her dotes, The other day she looked out jest as a boy about 14 years old was climbing over the fence, ant as she opened the door be ran across the street,—She thought moral suasion might help his ease, and bhe called : "13oy, ss ill you please o lme over here ?'' "Naw yer don't 1" he growled in answer. "Come now, be a goo,' boy and come here," she contiuned as a pedeattian turned the corner. "See anything green abort me ?" sneered the lad. The pedestrian looked from one to the other, and asked of the woman : "Do you want him ?" "Nell, I dile want him to come aver. " "Then he shall come!" interrupted the man, and he darted across the road, seized the boy and shook him up and said : "Won't mind yer mother els ? Got too big for s o it bot ts, have Toe ? We'll see about that !" "Oh I sir. I don't want him hurt I" oriel the woman aq she ran forward. "Just the way with a mother— jest like 'em 1 No, I won't hurt him, bathe needs a sound spankin to take the sass ant of him! Lomme ;sit clown on this boss-blook. "Yon dasn't—you dasn`t 1" yelled the bay as be tried to break away. "Sir, the boy isn't ," pat in the woman, but the man interrnped. "I heard him sassing you, and that's nnff ; come over this knee, young im- hndenee I„ The boy hooted 1iko a panther, the WOnian ran into the house and locked . the door, and in a few minutes a man and woman came •tearing down the street and pitched into the spanker like tiesre. They were followed by a boy of 10 and a girl of 20, all belongh,g to one family, and they ran the man against a fence, over a hitching -post, acmes the road and then got hila down on a sand -pile and clawed him almost naked. Two plasterers interfered un- til he ecbld get up,and he went through #hem all, then he went out of the neigh- borhood like a 'Texas steer. If things are yet sort o' mixed in his mind, the explanation at the beginning of this . article will make things clear. Ail boys need a good training, but one shouldn't get 'ern misplaced. Every boy should be spanked on his own individuality. A TREil�1ENDOUS HEAD, REMARKABLE SPECIMEN' OP A MAN. A. most remarkable specimen of a roan, after existing for many years in the wilds of Jersey,uukuown to the out- side World, waa broughtto Philadelphia. Ever Pince his birth he has been unable to stand upon his feet on acount of the weight ofhis head, • which is of abnor- mal size. For 28 years, the length of his life, he has been compelled to lie in bed continually. His name is Charles Erling, and he was born in Burlington oonuty, New Jersey. He lacks ere inch of being five feet iu length, but vrnuld probably have grown taller had be been in theshabit of taking physical exercise. His head appears to be about six', times the ordinary size, and his mother says, has always been (begirt). portionete in weight to the rest of his body as it is now, The measuretnent around the head at the middle of the forehead is 88 inches, while the pas- sing over the crown and under the -hit is 44 inches. Of course the head could never be weighed aonurately, brat its estimated weigbtat present is 80 lbs, which is two-fifths of his entire weight. The inner corner of his oyes etre four iincbes apart the distance from temple to temple is 18 inches, and' the bridge of the nose six inches below the upper line of the forehead. If it were a case of hydrocephalus it would doubtless be less. remarkable ; but there is every h ' lett' evidenceiu sun o t ofstate-. si site p yl menta made by several physictnns that it is neither more nor less than an ab-. normal growth of the skull and brain. ','he head is solid, and its parts nearly 3,roportiuuate, except the forehead, ITIS MEMORY WAS (TO0 000D. A lyirg witness will often to:l a very glib story, but he generally fails to guard all his weak points. At a resent trial in court the following took place in attempting to pr^ye an alibi:— Attorney S,—Yon say that Ellis ploughs(' for v ou all day on the 29th of November ? Witness, referriug to tlio note -book —Yes. S.—What diel be do on the 30th ? W.,– We chopped wood. ti. --On the 31st ? Ws -That was on Sunday, and he went sgnirre: hunting. • S.—What did you do on the 32nd ? \V.—He threshed wheat on that day. S.—What did lie clo on the 83rd ? WV.—It was raining, and he shaved out some handles. S.—What did he do on the 34th ? W.—He chopped wood. S. -What dui he do on the—? But before the question 'could be fin- ished, the witness' wife seized him by r•ke collar and whisked him outside the witness -box, yelling in his affrighted ear— "Yon old fool, don't yon know there are only thirty one days in fere mouth of November. A BAD GIRL TO MARRY. A bad daughter, says an exchange seldom makes a good wife. If a girl is •ill• tempered at home, snarls at her par- ents, emirs at brothers and sisters, and 'shirks' her ordinary dttties,the chances are ten to one that when Pile gets a home of her own she will make it wretched. Therease girls who faocy tie m. -elves so far superior to their par- ents that the mere privilege of enjoy- ing their society in the house ought to be all the old people should have the assurance to ask. While their mo- thers are busy with domestic duties they sit in the eatsieat chair or he on the safest snfas, feeding on cheap and trashy novels, and °helic l the notion that they are very literary individuals. The household drud eery is too coarse for etich ladies as they. Girls of this sort are generally very anxious to be married that they may escape the dila- , greeablen 'se of a home where they are held more or less under subjection. A caller, who dnesn't have is chance to see haw they behave as daughters may be excused for fancying them lovely and lovable beinga ; but one who dupe see 11 is foolish if he commits himself by offering marriage to a girl of this sort. If she will not assist her mother in the domestic labors. is she not like- ly to be equally slothful and ill-temper- ed when she marries ? If slie now, thinks Herself too fine to work, is it safe to expect that her views as to that matter would radically obatige if she became a wife. HUMOROUS.

"Oh, the 'parting gives rue pain," as as the boy said when his 'Mother was combing his hair, • SLi« Ur MISUNDERSTAND#No.–A clergy- man having galled up a elites of girls and boys, began with one of the former in these words . "My dear child, tell me who made your vile body ?"--Slee had no idea of the question applying beyond her personal appearance, and dropping a quick courtesy, replied, "Please. sir, mother made the body, but 1 made the skirt."
