The time came when il was necessary to
get GYPSY down on the ground, as she is des-
tined TO travel with a circus during the pres
ent summer season. In order TO accomplish
this fact the elephant had TO be got down
narrow stairway that leads from the street 10
the third floor. She got it into her head that
the stairway was not sufficiently strong 10
bear her weight and nothing could induce her
to make the descent. All day Sunday her
keeper and the show men generally tried to
get her started down the stairs, having first
braced them from beneath, but in vain.
They prodded her, pushed her and conversed
with her, but she refused to go down stairs.
In dispair they started the large elk down
the steps, and without any more to do, the
elephant followed after, evidently being
treasured by seeing the elk go down without
any mishap. She got down safely. On
reaching the ground she trumpeted her de-
light and walked away perfectly satisfied.

A little piece of white paper adorns tho
brick wall of building on the corner of
Cedar and Third streets. 1t bears the follow
ing legend:
1.-THE regular Saturday auction sales at this
corner are discontinued"
Thus comes to an end a custom that for
years has been most characteristic of the
rapid growth of the village into the bustling
city. Cedar street, from Third TO Fourth
streets, has been veritable sight every Sat
urday morning for years and years. Winter
and summer alike the street has presented
the same appearance. Scattered up and down
the sidewalk were articles OF furniture and
the hundred and one things that go
to make up an auction shop. In
and about the articles were men and
women making an examination and wait
ing for the auctioneer to begin his work. 1t
was an animated scene when the latter began
10 talk, and, like the snow before the sum-
mer's sun, the articles soon disappeared from
sight. The weather never proved too warm
in summer or too cold in winter for the seek
ers after bargains 10 congregate on Satur-
day morning. In the sunshine, rain or snow,
they came and stood until satisfied that moth
ing was going at too great a sacrifice.
The Saturday auction sales are gone for
ever. The auction firms moved from that To-
cality and the street will now be used for or
binary purposes and not for the display of
wares. Cedar street will no longer cause
comment from strangers who have CHANGED

Of the past and is benceforth an everyday

Man as n Love-nfaker.

A novel is the biography of man as q
love-maker. 1t is biography limited.
When Boswell wrote the life Of his great
friend, when Scott attempted to make a
record Of Napoleon; when Irving gathered
up Washington into two volumes, the
idea Of the writers was to give the entire
s~ojourn upon earth. The novel writer Is
a specialist in that ne detaches from the
three score and ten years allotted Of
heaven to each mortal those few summer
times in which he is more or less the vic
tim Of a powerful attachment to some an
gelic parsonage, real or alleged.
The novelist Ii thus an eclectic. He
culls from all these earthly years those
which are sunniest or most touchingiy
sad, and deals in no nights except those
In which the winds sigh in the bowers, In
no days except those which can make o
mark upon a dial As the painter selects
foreheads, eyes, chins and shoulders, and
does not throw upon canvas the whole
street full Of ugly or dirty faces, q the
Walter Scots and George Eliots do not
tell US all about all men and women, or
about any one man or woman, but they
pick out their little groups of individuals,
and then use these choice souls only 10
far as they walk In that short but fowery
path which leads from love to marriage

Warmely Welcomed Visitor.
Justin Mccarthy, q writer well-known
to the cultivated American public, is to be
with us the coming fall and winter-his
second visit to this country. He will be
warmly welcomed and honored where ever
he may go, and it is probable that every
considerable place in the Union will have
the opportunity to become acquainted with
him.
Cork, Ireland, was the place of his birth,
fifty-six years ago. He was twenty-seven
years of age when, having mastered the
mysteries of shorthand, he took his first
engagement as n newspaper reporter. This
was on the staff of a Cork journal, as n
member of which he soon made his mark,
and, in 1913, only a year after his initiation
rs a newspaper man, he wa one of the
band Of young, ambitious, and patriotic
men who founded the Cork Historical
Society. Every one of those men subse-
quently Joined the Young Ireland move
ment.
Mr.. McCarty crossed over to Liverpool
in 1852, and took q position on m of its
papers rs reporter. Subsequently he con-
tributed leaders to his columns. The
paper was not a success, and its suspension
in 1862, was followed by Mr.. McCarthy's
advent into London journalism. The per-
Torrance of his duties as Parliamentary
reporter on the Star was not so arduous as
to prevent his frequent contributions to
leading magazines. His reading was ex-
tensive and in several modern languages
besides his own, and the marked ability Of
his work led to his acquaintance with
John Stuart Mill, whose interest in the
till then obscure literary man became Of
eminent service to him. He was made
editor-in-chicf of the Radical newspaper,
the London Morning Star, in which John
Bright had a large interest. Mr..
Mccarthy visited the United States in lS6S,
writing and lecturing withacceptance. In
1871 he was engaged as al editorial writer
on the London Daily NGaCs, perhaps at that
time, as now, the ablest of the metro
politan Liberal journals.
Books written by Mr.. Mccarthy include
several novels, and his masterpiece, ''The
History of Our Own Times" with which
probably many readers are acquainted.
Its author ranks highamOng the historians
of the age.

Long or Short Coraets-

A controversy is now raging between the
advocates Of long and short corsets. Women
who are troubled with lame sides and other
weaknesses have been Of the opinion that
short corsets are ros only the most comfort
able, but the most healthful; but there is q
surprising performance OF opinion in favor
of long corsets. One point on the subject Of
long corsets must not beoverlooked, which Is,
that they must fit perfectly and be sufficiently
loose below the waist.

EARLY PORTRAITS OF CHRIST.

suppression of jew sh Art-Portraiture
in Heather uands-Idea Pictures.
Years ago the writer saw a picture
with this inscription: The only true like
ness of our Saviour, taken from one
carved on III emerald, by command Of
Tiberius Cesar, and given from the treas
ury of Constantinople by the emperor of
the Turks to Pope Innocent VIII, for the
redemption of his brother, taken captive
by the Christians" Further search dis
covered the same picture associated with
different incidents. and led to a study of
the pictorial conceptions of orr Lord in
sacred art. In the time of Christ super
stition had suppressed all pictorial jew
ish art even i'll portraiture, and though
skillful and ingenious in all else, no Jew
dared to paint n portrait, and no strict
II would even allow his own to he
painted, for fear of n violation of the
second commandment.
Forfeiture was, therefore, almost ex-
clusively in heather hands, and consum-
mate as was Greek art in painting the
faces and forms of men, it had small
scope in that little Syrian province of
the Roman world, where Il painter was
an o~utcast, The first pictures of Christ
were probably the work of some of His
own disciples, and gradually as those
who loved him desired to see His face
with the eyes of sense. the less scrupu-
lous Gnostics. with their ruder form of
Greek art, repeated again and again
some prototype well known to them, but
unknown to US. Very early in Christian
history-as early. indeed, ns We have
any history outside of the gospels-there
was some well-known ideal, and many
copies, though varying among them
selves, distributed among the Oriental
churches in Asia ami ~.ifrica, not alwaya
the same in every Getail, but SO uniform
in general that they were distinguished
at sight.
The earliest known historical mention
of such work. though only incidental, is
made by Tertullian born in A. ID. 1907
who criticises a picture of Jesus as "in-
correct" and wanting in resemblance"
This implies that there was a correct
type, which a true picture should re-
seinble. Nothing better illustrates the
number and antiquity of such pictures
tlrtn the fact that the earliest ecclesiast-
zeal historian, Eusebius, in $40, speaks OF
them as very plenty, and some of them
already very ancient. and associated
with traditions of miraculous origin.
Augustine, in the next century, speaks
of "A variety of numberless pictures"
and alludes to some of them as ancient.
