The Dark Day.

An old lady now living on the Little
Colorado, who has attained the COM
Portable old age of 1913 years, was 80
years of age at the time Of the dark
day, of which she has vivid recollec-
ton, and recalls many interesting Incl
dents that took place with her people,
the Spanish, and also the indians, who
were more superstitious. The Spaniards
buried all their saints, of which they
had a goodly number, while the Indians
took to feasting upon dogs and other an
finals. The OZARK day was SO called
on account of the remarkable darkness
that extended throughout America. The
observation commenced about 10 o'clock
on the morning of May 10th, 1880, and
continued till the middle of the next
night. Birds sang their evening song,
disappeared and remained silent; fowls
went to roost, cattle sought the barn
yard and candles were lighted in the
houses. The true cause of this remark
able phenomenon is not, and will proba-
bly, never be known.-Arizona Miner.

Mary's Little Lamb.

The veritable Mary (who) had lit
tie lamb whose fleece was while as snow"
visited the Ola South Spinning Bee yes
terday afternoon, and told the ladies pres
ent the story OF the little lamb. When
she was nine years old and living on
farm, one morning she went out into the
barn and found two little lambs. one of
them nearly dead. So she took it into
the house and sat up all night nursing it
with catnip tea. The next morn ne it
could stand upon its feet, and grew
stronger every day. Owing to her loving
care the lamb became so attached to
Mary that it followed her about and one
day to school, where she hid it under her
desk, SO that none of the children knew
it was in the school until Mary was called
up to recite. Then the lamb came out
OF its hiding place, and made the children
laugh and shout SO that the teacher was
obliged to turn it out. The poem was
written BY friend of Mary's soon after
the lambs visit to the school room Mary
was married many years since, and lives
near Boston.-Bos,on Transcript.

Physical Effects of Mental Emo
ton. :.

George Grokatchi, a Polish soldier,
deserted from his regiment in the har-
vest of the year 1917. He was discov-
cred few days after drinking and max
ing merry in an ale house. The mo-
ment he was apprehended he was so
much terrified that he gave a loud
shrek, and was Immediately deprived of
the power of speech. When brought to
a court-martial, it was impossible to
make him articulate word nay, he
became as unmovable as statue, and
appeared totally unconscious of what
was going forward. In the prison to
which he was conducted he neither ate
or drank. The officers and priests first
threatened him, and afterwards endeav-
ored to soothe and console him, but all
their efforts were in vain. He re-
manned senseless AMI immovable. His
irons were struck off, and he was taken
out of prison, but he did not move.
Twenty days and nights were passed in
this way, and he gradually sank and
died

George Eliot Mrs. Lewes) the great
est living novelist, the thoughtful peru
sal of one of whose works is liberal
education, has never had a photograph
taken, so that the great majority of her
admirers are compelled to view her only
through pen-and-ink sketches. She is
woman who must have passed her fif-
tieth year. Her hair is dark brown and
has none of those silver threads one
might expect where the burden of half
century is added to incessant labor,
and experiences full of desolation. She
is not at all handsome; her face is long
and very pale, with small, sensitive
mouth; eyes dreamy, retrospective, and
sad always. Her hair is worn low over
her intellectual forehead, and her slen-
der figure has no robust energy about it.
George Eliot's is the energy of mind,
not of physical power She is one of
the greatest living conversationalists.
She is one of the most accomplished
amateur pianists in England, and first
rate linguist, and seems to know as
much about the healing art, history and
philosophy. What the witty Mrs.
French said of Madame de Stael-that
she is consolingly gly-applies to George
Eliot; bnt her plain features are made
beautiful by her expression. She COM
poses slowly and methodically, not more
than sixty lines day; and report says
that when she has completed book her
nervous exhaustion is such that her hus-
band takes her abroad at once to recruit
her failing health. While writing, she
must be scrupulously arranged as to sur
roundings and person. She is not only
wonderful author, but clever house
wife, too; and her home life is perfect in
all its details
