Fsn Portrait Of ueorge Eliot.


A large woman apparently about 45
years of age, with wonderfully sweet
eyes, massive brow, soft chestnut hair,
and features irregular and somewhat
masculine, but fairly illuminated by an
expression of intelligence and particu-
larly sympathetic sweetness. She was
richly dressed, with some disregard to
the details of fashion, but with an air
of dignified splendor in the materials,
as well as in the cut of her gown and
cloak, in the fashion of her hat,
and even in the exquisite and rare old
lace which fell about her neck and
wrists. 1 thought her the most strik-
ing person l had ever seen. Yet, who
could describe that inspired look
when she spoke, or give the peculiar
charm of her deep, melancholy eyes, in
which some times her rare sweet smile
fingered, deepening the kindly look,
yet never banishing that curious pathetic
expression,

Buttons on the Back of the Coat.

An American missionary was
laboring to convert a Chinaman, but
found himself nonplussed when the
listener retorted. You think you
know everything. Tell me, then, why
you wear those two superauous but
tons on the back of your coatP' Though
those buttons have now outlived their
usefulness, they must have been sewed
on at first with purpose. The two
buttons are generally supposed to be a
relic of the days when every gentleman
wore a sword. The buttons were used
to support the sword belt.

never known of so large a per cent of
