Some Astounding Stories ¢f Giants in Past and Present Days, A Three-Year-0ld Boy That Was Four Feet High and Strong in Proportion, Another That at Seven Was a Father ~The Wenderfal Howard Family, Before we commence upon the sabject of fat men and gigantic men we want to mentlon, In one or two paragraphs, some fow little folke, as & mort of contrast to those to be mentioned soon, Flrat comes the little lady. The small- est lady known is Lucla Zarate, who is 2 yeara of age, Is only twenty-one Inch helght and weighs but fifteen pound It has been claimed, however, that a chlld has lately been born in Chicago or New York who welghs but two pounds, | ¢ D. [and whose height Is but thirteen Inches. t | Its bands are one inch long only, and its fingers the slze of the end of a mouse’s | 3y tall, It is said a 50-cent plece will cover ¥ her entire hand out of sight, anda that ~ Lucla Zarate's dlamand ring will make a bracclet for this mite. Ohe Mah s the smallest man on reo- ord. He is a native of China, the same as Obang, the glant, Che Mah s 46 yoars of age ls twenty-e/ght Inches in helght, and Is worth cords of money. #OME FAT MEN, First on the list comes the case of a boy who grew so fast that when he was two and a half years old he stood three feet and one-half high. He was not a ‘‘bean-pole” tall, but was a big, stout chump, being more like » Hercules than achild, His strength was 8o great that he was_able to lift forty pounds with ease. The name of the boy Is not given. These facts are recorded by an English surgeon of repute. Pliny chronicles the case of a boy who was four foet high when only three years old. Craterus adds the case of a boy whose development was 8o rapid that he was a father when he was but seven years of age. Two slaters of James Teller, the giant, were of tremendous slze. One of these glrls stcod mearly five feet high when seven years old. THE BOY OF WILLINGHAM, Thomas Hall, or the *‘Gigantic Boy of Willingham,’ 'as he was called, was the son of a little father and mother. At his birth he was of medium size. He soonshowed marvelous rapldlty ingrowth, reaching three feet nine inches in hejght when 2 years 11 months of age. Two months later he rushed upward to the helght of three feet eleven inches. When 4 years old he measured four fest five inches. His wonderfal growth created a universal desire among all clasees to see the infant terrible. So, as the fashion 18 to this day, he was—the same as any other petted anlmal—feasted with dain tles and wine to that extent his blood socn became potsoned from his gluttony and Intemperance. This checked hia tremendous growth. His bulk snd strength were In keeping with rapld growth, Incidents of his strength are given seemingly incredible, When 4 years of aga he could take a seventeen- pound hamwer and throw it a consider- able distance. When only 3 yeara of age he could take a Chesshire cheese upon his head, and lift a two-gallon measure of beer to hls mouth and drink therefrom. At school boys 7 or 8 years of age had no chance In a bout with “Tommy.” Though he would not fight with the little fellows, he would collar and threw them down upon the ground. As a test of his strength he was glven a wheelbarrow of uncommon size and heavy, belng made of green weod, in which was placed one of the biggest boys in schcol, *‘Tommy” trotted off with the load at ease. Two boys were then pat Into the barrow, and the young glant made It move three or four feet. The two boys welghed 170 pounds. His volce was heavy llkea man’s volce. His physiognomy was a savage cne, although he was never vlolent or cruel, He seems to have had no fear of his companione, or love either. He was kept in subjectlon by his guardian by threatening to use a dlstecting kuife upon him, In 1747 this wonderful boy took ill rom a fever, and, refusing the medicine prescribed for him, died of consumption six months later. Some months previ- ous to hls death his face was covered with & luxurlous growth of beard, he having the appearance of an old man, MR, BRIGHT, OF MALDEN, ENGLAND, Mr, Bright, of Malden, England, was the son of parents greatly inclined to cor- pulency. When a child Mr. Br'ght was very fat, but strong and active, From childhcod to death he was constantly taking exerclse, which did not keep hlm from growlog more and more etout, When 12 years old he we'ghed 144 pounds, growlog heavier In proportlon as he grew older. When 20 years old he welghed 336 pounds, and five years later his weight was 588 pounds. His average galn per year towards the end of his life was twenty-eicht pounds, When he died, aged 20 years, he welghed about 644 pounds. His helght was only five feet nine Inches. DANIEL LAMBERT, THE ATHLETE, Danjel Lambert, one of England’s greatest notorieties, was not a tall man, but was pretty *‘wide out,” according to all accounts, His bedy was nine feet In olrcumference and his legs thircy-seven Inches. His parents were not noted for their large size, nor were thelr other children, Danlel Lambert was an athlete and a sporteman, He was an expert in row- ing, swimm/ng and huntlng. He owned and took special dellght In game chick- ens, setters, pointers and terrlers, Be- ore he became so very stout he never knew what It was to loze his wind, Itls asserted he was able to swlm with ease in the Soar with two ordinary sfzed men on his bsck, the olly nature of his sys- tem enabling him to swim llke a cork, | 16: Mr. Lambert dled suddenly, withoutany manifest dlsorder, in his fortieth year. Arriviog at Stamford one evening, be re- tired rather fatigued, and died before 9 o'closk the next morning. He weighed 742 pounds at the time of his death, be-|of ing 126 pounds more than Mr, Bright, of Maiden, welghed at the time of bis death, His coffin measured 112 equare foet, HERMANNES BRA®, THE PRUSSIAN, Hermanes Bras was on exhibition In 1819, He was a very lusty babe at slx months of age; when fifteen mouths old bhe welghed 112 pounds. His repld growth did not cease, for when he was 18 years old bis height was six feet .m’l’ his welght 420 Jpounds. This ‘“boy rivaled Lambert, for the calf of his leg was nearly three feet around and his arm two feet. Though as tall #s Lam- bert, he was 238 pounds lighter, which 1 proof of great diference In the frames of the two men., MRS, WALDRON REED. Jeesle Waldron Reed, who dled about a yoar since, was the daughter of parents who were only of mediom slze. Mrs. Reed was #ix feet two inches In hight and welghed 400 pounds when 19 years old. Her husband’s business was that a showman, She left a little babe which weighed but five pounds when six menths old. THE WONDERFUL HOWARD PAMILY, 1t 1s asserted that Amerloa has raised the most remarkable family In the world, when welght and slize are considered. Statlsticlans acqualnted wlith the aver ages of thousands of persons of dlfferent natlonalitles affirm that the Howard fam- ily of Kentucky,have neverbeen equalled. The following table, which glves the hefght and welght of each member of this family, may be relled on as belng acou- rate: Foet In, Pounds .6 2 Father. . to lift 9,600 pounds! ny of the grand. children of this family are eix feet six inches in heighth and welgh 200 pounds. JUSTIOE HARLAN, SIX FEET SIX INCHES Mr. Harlan, one of Amerlca’s blg men, is the largest man of the Unlted States supreme court. Although standing above hls associates, ho is the youngest maa in that body. He wears his hat high In the alr at six feet slx Inches. He is aged about fifty-two years, and as there is yet room above he may add an inch or two to his heighth. ANTHONY PAYNE, SEVEN FEET TWO INCHES Anthony Payne was a notorious Corn- {shman of the sixtcenth century. His welght and bulk were nearly as much ay Mr. Bright's. Hls = biographer says: “In early life he was the humble but favorlte attendant cf John, eldest son of Neville Granville, afterward earl of Bath, whom he accompanied throughout many cf his loyal adventures and campalgns during the revolution and usurpation of Cromwell.” He was a knight-errant, suited to cheer and amuse his illuatrious lord through the mishaps and denials pertaining to army life. Charles II. was extremely kind to An- thony, and made him one of the yoemen of the king's guard. The esrl of Bath baving been made governor of the citadel of Plymouth, Payne was made a gunner there. When Anthony was only twenty years of age he was eeven feet two Inches in height. His weight exceeded 462 pourds. Anthony died In 1691, So large and un- handy in handling was his body the un- dertakers were compelled to take up the floor of the apartment in which he dled in order to transfor his corpse to its final resting-place. CHILLCOTT, BELL, AND A HIGHLANDER. There was ancther Cornishman who deserves a place next to Payne. Charles Chillcott, of Tintagel, weighed almcst as much as the former, tipping the beam at about 450 pounds. His height was closs to that of Payne's. Sir Thomas Lauder tells of a large Highlander who stood over seven feet one and one-half inches, He was a jov- ial, good-hearted man, and was able to dance the Highland fling to the moan- ings and groanings and spurts of the windy bagpipe. He was a strong man, and {s sald to have shattered a prize- fighter's skull with his fist. He was ap- pointed to watch a cannon on a dark night, The darkness grew denser, and rain beginning to fall, thls merry giant considered the necessity of remaining out all night simply to watch the ordnance, 80 the ldea came to him that he would be obeylng orders just as well if he would take the cannon to his bed and there keep It eafe and dry. This he did, to the great surprise of his fellows. Thomas Bell, the Cambrldge galnt, was seven feet two Inches high. Thomas was the envled possessor of a hand that waas eloven inches In length, AN IDIOTIC GIANT, James, the second duke of Queens— bury, was father to a son who was a nat- ural idiot, This idlot had to be constantly under the care of a keeper. Indeed, s> witless was the sclon of a great sire, and 80 prone to getting into miserable dieas- ters, that he mus: have been a terror to his relatives and all others with whom he could, by any potsible means, come into contact. In instance of his ferocity is given as follows: His keeper—belng more Inter- ested in hearlng the debate in parliament house upon the union bill than in watch- ing his imbeclle charge—one day deser tad him, when the giant broke loose from his confinement and went stralght to the kitchen, attracted thither, no doubt, by the odor of the meat belng roasted before the fire by the turnepit boy., The mon- ster seizad the boy, killed him, spitted him, and then half roasted the victim, When the duke and the errant keeper re- turned from the exciting debate they were horrified to frenzy upon eeeing the witless giant devouring the un‘ortunate lad, PARRONS, HALES, [EVANS, DAMFORD, AND MALONE, Parrons was seven feet four inches high. He was a sight to see, for he must have looked extremely comical as he strutted along knock-kneed. Not only was he knock-kneed, but his feet stuck out widely at the sides, or, as we call it, he was splay-footed, Hales was another giant who had the defect of belng knock-kneed. He was a fine-looking and intelllgent man, being extremely cheerfull, Hales was of the same height of Parrons—seven feet four inches, % Willlam Rvans was a well-propor- tloned glant, and was as tall as Parrons or Hale, and is sald by some authoritles to have been as high as eight feet. He was @ porter to Charles L, und died In 32, Edward Bramford was native of Staf. fordshire, He was a tradesman, follow- ing the business of a hatter, and was located in Shoe lane. He was born In 1732, growing to the respactable helght wven feet ten inches. He died in 1768, having llved but thirty-six yoors, Edward Malone, & young Irishman was olaimed to have been seven foel seven Inches, without shoes, at the early age of 19. This helght Is sccorded to him by Dr, Molyneux, in the cily of Dablin, where he measured Malone. M'GRATH—SEVEN FEET BIGHT INCHES, &) Bishop Berkeley of Cloyne was fond of experimenting in a philosophical man- ner, very nearly suffocating himself on one oocaslon by surpendivg himself by the neck in order to find out all about the sensations enjoyed by the hanged, On 5 6 | Barel a another oseaslon, seeing & hungry-losking boy sitting on the street, In a moment of benevolence the kind-bearted bishop took the boy home with him. Much as one would fatten ocattle the eccentrle bishop began experimenting with his charge. WThe boy's name was McGrath, and he first saw the light In 1736 In Tipperary. Hls parents were only of middle alze, and thelr other children were of ordinary slze. The Bishop's experiment succeeded won- derfully. Under the judiclous fseding prooess followed the boy grew fearfully. When 16 years old the boy towered up. ward to the helght of seven feet. At this nge he atarted upon a tour of exhibition, oalling himself the ‘‘Prodiglous Irish Giant.” OIGLI, GOSHEN, ANNA SWAN, AND ANGUS MT. CASHELL, Mr. LeCat, a professor of anatomy and authority upon the subject of giants, resd a memoir before the academy of sclences at Rouen, in which he makes mention of a glant shown at Rouen in 1735 who was more than elght feet In helght. Bernardo Glgil, an Itallan glant, at- tained the extraordinary helght of eight foot when but 18 years of age, In 1613 & young man was shown at show wonder. Hestood elght feet high, was very lean, but strongly bullt, He was 22 years of age and beardlese. Gollah Goshen, the so-called Palestine lant, {s clalmed to stand eight feet six rches In height. Thus his pralses are sung: ‘‘He s the tallest, the largest, and the strongest man of modera times. In every sense of the word he isa glant, He 18 magnificently proportioned, an ob- ject of admiration, not only on account of his immense helght and frame, but also by reason of his manly beauty. Mr. Barnum in his autoblography tells of Anna Swan, the Nova Scotla giantess. She was the tallest woman probably in the world. Mr, Barnum does not give her helght. SCOTCH GIANTS, Sir William Wallace was a well-known glant of the thirteenth century. He was a chieftain of the greatest bravery among the Scottish clans. Many are the wonderful feats accredited to him, His dispositlon was a gentle and affec- tlonate one. Brave as alion, and very nearly asstrong, he was a terror to his enemies and a bulwark of strength to his friends. His helght was eight feet. Among the. logal Scots to this day bat one name stands beside that of Sir Willlam Wallace, s&nd that one is the name of King Robart Bruce. An old lady in 1380 thus speaks of the two men while talking to James I. of Scotland: *‘Robert,” said she, ‘‘was a msn, beautiful and of fine appearance. His strength was so great that he could easlly overcome any mortal man of his tlme save one—Sir William Wallace.” Another gigantic Scotchman was Angus Mt. Cashell, also known as the *‘Great Scotch Glant Boy.” This man was elght feet in height, and weighed 530 pounds. He was a_fearless fellow. On one occasion, while traveling by stage, they were atiacked by robbers. Upon seelng such a monster getting out of the coach the would-ba robbers fell back In affright. “‘BIG SAM,” THE SCOTCHMAN. “Big Sam,” a Scotchman, was elght feot high, and was well built. His height came very approprlate to him when assuming the character of “Oy- mon” at the Hsymarket theater. His bulk eeems to have been no hindrance to bim in his dally avocations. He served a8 porter to the Prince of Walee. PATRICK W. O'BBIEN TO MISS CHRISTINA DUNZ, Patrick W. O’Brlen, the Irlsh glant, and Mias Cbristiana Dunz, the German glantess, were morrled in Pittsburg by Rev. F. Ruoff, in the German Evapgali- cal church, on 8mithfield street. The above wedding is claimed to have been the first marrlage between glants in America, and the second in the world. The bride carrled In_her hand an enor- monv bouquet. The wedding ring welghed eeventeen pennywelghts, and was five inches in clrcumference, A tre- mendous loaf of bread, five feet In length, decorated the table. The wedding cake was the largest ever made, measuring nine feet in circumforence and three feet in thickness. A BATCH OF LIG PEOPLE. Mr. James Porter, of Shippingsport, Ky., was a glant of no mean proportlons. He was a well known tavern keeper of that town. Because of his hight—about elght feet—hls tavern was a great resort of boatmen along the Ohlo river. One of his pzculiar feats was the power to crash goblets or glasses by his powerful voice disintegrating the particles of whick they were composed, He went by the name of the *‘Kentucky Glant.” He possessed a great rifle and cane, in proportlon to his immense size. Arabla furnished a giant by the name of Gabara, who was elght feet six Inches high. This Arabian was brought to e during the reign of COlaudius iar, The Roman Emperor Maximinus, who reigned from 235 to 238 A. D,, was elght feet slx Inches in height. A FAST-GROWING GIANT. A young man occasioned great per- plexity to the medical profession of Parls some years since. When he was 15 years of age he supposed he had finished grow- ing, for he staod at the height of six foet five inches. This was about May 1, 1881, A few weeks later he found that he had added another inch to his helght. He thenmeasured himself every week, and found that he had galned three inches additional by the following Sep- tember. This rapld growth was ac- companied by pecaliar aching palus in his hones. PATRICK COTTEK (OR O'BRIBN)—EIGHT AND ONE-HALF FEET, The largest skeleton of Ireland is that of O'Brien, and s to be seen In the col- lege of surgeons, He styled himeelf the ‘““Irish Glant,” and his skelaton is 8o la- beled to this day, He was born in 1761 in the barony of Kinsale, His parents were of average slze only, and of little note, He continued growlng untll 25 years of age, when he towered up into the alr at a helght of eight feet seven and one-half inckes, His foot was seventeen Inches in length, O'Brien was an Invet- erate pipe-smoker—the older the pipe the better he loved it. On one of his nightly promenades hestopped at & lamp- post at which to light his pipe, which had been extloguilshed, A n&)‘:& watchman coming suddenly upon him and seelng the gigantic spectre fell down In a fit and was carried to the nearest lcck-up. Oan another ocoasion he was traveling along the public road when a highwayman stopped hia driver.
