INFANT GOLIATH.

TWO-YEAR-OLD LAD AS BIC AS A SMALL MAN. New York, .Inly 10. A normal-sized couple in Mount Airy. Georgia, are the embarrassed owners of a remarkable child, whose dimensions and appetite are almost enough to bring Mr. Barnum from his grave. dames Adolph Cody is two years and three months old, but he already eats as much as both his father and mother together. The physician and nurse, awcll as the mother, have done their fcest to make the infant restrain his enthusiasm for meals, but he constantly iowls for more. He weighs 8 1 / a stone, is 14in round the neck. 3(iin round the waist, lliin above the knee, and 13iu below. When not crying he sleeps well, seems perfectly healthy, and is strong enough to knock children down thrice his years. For breakfast he «ats biscuits thickly spread with bacon gravy, butter and syrup, and drinks two glasses of milk, lie grows quarrelsome if not permitted a couple of cups of coffee. He relishes light refreshments between meals, while for dinner and supper he enjoys n big plate of boiled bacon and vegetables—the whole, pie if he can get it. The family physician recommended a starvation diet, hut owing to the youngiter's lusty pair of lungs and the tender family heart the recommendation is not being carried out.
