THE GIANTS OF CANARIES.
A Itace of Men Who Were Phynlcally
Hint Morally Our Superior!.
Tho Gunnches, the inhabitants of
tho Canary islands, are said to be the
remnants of the ancient race, nays tho
Cornhill Magazine, who 10.000 years
ago. peopled tho drowned continent of
Atlantis. They are reported to have
been strong and handsome, and of ex
traordinary agility of movement, of re
markable courage and of loyal dispo
sition; but they bhowed the credulit
of children and the simple directness
of shepherds. So tull wore they that
the Spaniards speak of them jls giants,
and their btr.ngth and enJurance were
fro great that they were conquered by
strategem. but not force. They ran as
Jitht ns horses, and could leap over a
polo held between two men five or six
feet high; they could climb tho highest
mountains and jump the deepest ra
rities. Their endurance as swimmers was
so great that they were accustomed to
bwim across the nine mile strait be
tween the Lanceroto and Graeio-n;
having no boats, their method of fish
ing was to strike the Hah with sticks
or catch them in their hands while
swimming. Their skulls which are
preserved in tho museums of the is
land, and of which 1 took photo
graphs, show marked cjttsLrn'- devel
opment, tho frontal and parietal bones
being well developed and the facial
nngle'good. In the earlj days of the
conquest, before rapine and murder
had dono their vile work, the
(Suanches are spoken of as being musi
cal anil fond of dancing and singing.
Though so strong physically, the
Guanches were nevertheless a very
gentle race; they rarely mado war on
one another, and when the Europeans
fell into then hands they did not kill
hem, but sent them to tend sheep in
the mountains. So tame were the birds
in this happy land that when the Span
iards first landed they came and fed
out or their hands. To kill an animal
degraded a man: the butcher was n
reprieved criminal and an outcast, and
lived apart, he and his assistants being
supported by the stale. No woman
was allowed to approach the shamble-,
and in such horror wa- killing held by
these gentle giants that no man could
be ennobled until he had publicly de
clared that he had not been guilty of
killing any animal, not ever a goat.
Their standard of moriiity was high;
they were monogamists, and adultery
was punished by imprisonment and
death; robbery was almost unknown
among them, and drunkenness not
yet invented. The Guanches were
pound by law to treat womMi with the
greatest respect, and a man was
obliged to make way for every woman
he met walking, to bear her burdens,
and deferentially to escort her home
should she wish it. If a Guanche was
ennobled for any great deed the people
were assembled on the occasion, and
among tho c-iiestiona asked to which a
negative answer must be given before
the ptent of nobility wis granted,
was: "Has he ever been disrespect
ful to women?'' The winen are not
celebrated as having been beautiful,
but they were almost as agile and
strong as the men. Even in war the
women and children were protected,
and uillaue was forbidden.
