| in prayer at the same time in one body and send
up petition to God who is so good to us, to re-
new Mr. Gladstoues years and make that noble
man unto youth again-say the years of 81

ness that lie now possesses"
The CHIEF JUDGE of the Parnell commission
and the chief defendant in the case are vegeta-
| rians. Both Sir James Hammer and Mr.. Parnel

used to suffer greatly from that curse of people
whose employment is sedentary-dyspeps
He eats little flesh now, and certainly looks the
| better for it. Mr.. Parnel also largely avoids
the diet or the joint. His refreshment at
luncheon time is a glass of hot water into which
lemon has been squeezed.

II. RIDER HAGGARD, who has never looked
like literary man, has begun to cultivate an
air of genius. He now wears his hair in flow
ing locks which reach almost to his shoulders
He has shaved off his blond mustache and hi S
pale face wears an expression of rapt contem-
plation, as though his mind was engaged in
searching for Henry NJ Stanley or solving the
Whtechapel murder mystery. He wears a
velvet coat, cut short behind, which gives his
tall TANK figure peculiar appearance. He
smokes cigarettes continually, and there are
those who say he sometimes rolls his eyes 'in
fine frenzy"

the war Virginia girl, whoss soldier brother
was federal prisoner went TO the President
for permission TO go and see him She had
been cautioned beforehand not TO betray her
Southern sympathles, but when Mr.. Lincoln
could not resist the impulse to reply Yes
loyal to the hearts core-to Virginia" After a
long look at her, Mr. Lincoln wrote a paper
and gave it to her without a word. And when

THE personal appea rance Of Talleyrand, who
arrived in this country In 1894, is described as
being as remarkable as his character. lie was
very tall and had light hair, long aud parted in
front. His eyes were blue and expressive, but
his complexion was sallow. He had II wide,
coarse mouth and his body was large and pro.
tuberant in front" His lower extremties were
singularly small. and his feet deformed While
his manner was tranquil and watchful, he was
regarded in many respects as being vulgar and
repulsve. A New York lady, at whose house
he frequently dined, said he would rest his ell
bows on the table and talk with his mouth full
would cut the meat ON his plate INTO small
pieces, pierce them with fork till the prongs
were full, then thrust the whole into his mouth,
and closing his teeth, pull out the fork, leaving
its freight In his capacious jaws.
