10 the days gone by an Illinois
sheriff, who had made a close
shave Of being elected, had the i'll
luck to lose a prisoner from the
jail. The fellow made good his
escape to the country, but the sher-

miles out and drove him under q

and yet he was not. If he could
not get out the sheriff could not
get in, and threats had no effect on
him. In this emergency the off.

want to know about your SOUL" A
very painful man! In the room
which Voltaire had at Sans Souci
there are certain delicate bits Of
satire upon his carved wood. For
instance, there is monkey, which
Is supposed to represent his por-
trait; a parrot, which conveys an
idea of his volubiIity of speech; and
a stork to signify his migrations to
and fro from Prussia, coming 10
summer and going away in the
winter, Wilson, the ornithologist,
presumably by brooding 30 much
over birds, became very much like
a bird himself. He got the
dark luminous eyes, aud his nose
was shaped like the very peak of a
bird. Yes, this is a curious fancy,
and in middle. e.age the likeness to
some animal may come on. 1t
will be within the recollection of
many Oxford men that quarter
of o century ego there were two
great scholars ut Oxford, both Of
them middle-sged men, one of
whom was known by the name of
the Sickly Vulture, while the other
was the Dsbauched Crow.-L0ndon
Society.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1882-01-05
Human Likeness at Middle.A Age
to Animals.

A curious trait at middle-age is
that as life goes on some likeness
to an animal Is often apparent,
even to an extent that might seem
to countsnancs the Pythagorean
idea of the transmigration of souls.
Every one must know q certain
number of people who bear a strik-
ing likeness to horses and dogs.
These, however, are the nobler an
finals, so that, in the case Of such
. comparison, the likeness is per-
haps more fiattering to the human
being than to the dumb animal.
It is not often given, even to the
soft melting eye OF womanhood, to
have that look of courage, endur.
ance and devotion which we some-
times meet in the eye of a hound.
Dickens was true to nature
when he described the dign!-
fed little hops of Dora's bird-like
aunts. Now and then the middle
age lady is of the parrot description
Of bird, and possibly the human
subject may be like cat, or even
like monkey. A great many are
like snakes; indeed, sneak and
snake are different forms OF the
same word, and the moral fact is
Ne true as the chronological. When
Cicero, In his orstion against Piso,
attacks that noble Roman in an
extremely personal manner, he is
apparently likening him, by a very
common figure of speech, to viper.
s'Beast," says Cicero, "thsre is no
mistaking the evidence of that
slave-like hue, those bristly cheeks,
those discolored fangs. Your eyes,
your brows, your face, your whole
aspect, are the taclt index of your
SOUL" There was certain Ger
man missionary at Tennevelly
who made himself extremely die
agreeable to the European mem-
bors Of that community. AS he
observed different snimals In the
streets, he used to point out to his
friends the likeness which existed
between themselves and these
creatures. "There's your picture,"
be would say to one, pointing to q
pig. "There is the likeness of your
earthly soul,n he would say to an
other, pointing to . goat. One day
he made the usual inquiry about q
friend's health, who answered by
mentioning some bodily ailment.
