Most persons who have seen Miss Muir.
free have formed three distinct concep-
tons of the author OF the mountaineef
tales. Reading Craddock's stories before
the secret of the pseudonym mas been
revealed the writer of them might have
been easily imagined as thoughtful,
poetic nafured man A southerner with
tremendous possibilities and q tremendous
earnestness- A man vino had lived face
to face with nature and the eternal
verities, to whom the brawls and strug-
giles of urban existence were of less Eiean-
ing and import than the loud chatter Of
mountain brooks. A tall. lean, brown
Tennesseean probably, with that indolent
slouchiness of gait and carriage, under
which many asoutherner conceals muscles
of iron. That WIS the ideal Charles
Egbert Craddock, who was so real 10 ore's
fancy that when Miss Murfree revealed
herself one couldn't quite concede that lie
had no existence.
Then with the advertisements of her
books appeared little wood cut of her,
vivid faced woman, with eyes and hair Of
intensest black, clear cut, vigorous feat
ures, and a certain mascpline force in her
aspect that accorded well with her bold,
clear signature, and then at last one came
to see her in the flesh, and behold, she
was as unlike either of these Craddocks
as they were unlike each other A very
small woman; SO lame she can scarcely
cross the floor unaided. Slight and yet
square in figure. A small white face, with
the withered wilderness Of one whose health
had always been delicate. Pale, neutral
brown hair and eyes, aud formal prim-
ness Of manner ike that Of a shy, clever
woman who has lived much in retirement.
The only hint one gets of the great author
l. In the impression she gives of seeing
and noting of everything; Of weighing and
estimating every one about her, and hay
ing marvellous strength and concentra-
ton Of attention; but her reserve is inf

THE LATEST IN JEWELS.

Barbaric jewels are very much the fashion
this season, the more crude the more effect
i've.
One of the newest things is Russian Jew

during the holiday season.
Necklaces of many styles are now seen in
the show cases. These ornaments are no
longer confined to the costly gem set affairs.
but are fashionable in gold. silver and
enamel
Counted among decidedly expensive prac-
tical objects, designed for mans use, are
miniature brushes with gold handles and tiny
pocket coinbs with gold tops, with which to
keep the beard in order.
Quite new and very effective is tortoise
shell jewelry set with diamonds. Brooches.
cuff buttons and earrings are all represented
in designs that follow more or less closely
the patterns seen in gold and silver iewelry.
There is little to be said that is new on the
subject of finger Rugs. Small seal rings are
much affected by men, who are also wearing
two or more rings on one hand. as gem set
ring and fancy ring in gold or gold and

There appears no diminution in the favor
shown to bangles of all descriptions. Some

Mark Twain in his peculiar vein of humor,
has said many funny things illustrative of the
hobbies" of mankind; but none of them
surpass his story of how he treated cold.
Every friend he met for weeks, had 'sure
cure" to suggest until finally the cold wore
itself out and as usual, the last remedy used
got the credit for the cure.
Experimenting with a severe cold however
how trying this remedy and then that is
dangerous business; for like lightning one
can never tell where cold may strike or
finally settle. 1t may locate in the head and
cause severe nasal catarrh; it may locate in
the throat or large bronchial tubes, causing
sore throat, laryngitis, bronchitis and con-
sumption, it may locate in the pleura, pro-
ducing dangerous pleuro -pneumonia; it may
locate in the muscles, causing pains and
aches only equalled by rheumatism, or it may
locate in the small bronchial tubes or air cells
of the lungs, causing lobar-pneumonia, the
most to be dreaded of all results from cold.
= = There is right way to do everything, so
there is rational treatment for cold,
which mnst be cured promptly. The first
result from a cold is the retardation of every
secretive function in the body. Skin, lungs,
kidneys and bowels, severally or all are
affected. Therefore, the first thing to be
done is 10 restore the functions OF THESE
organs. Because of its effect upon the skin,
the old-fashioned rum sweat was an ex-
cellent method to restore the action of the
pores of the skin. But it is dangerous
method to use, because so few people are
willing to contine themselves to the house
long enough to recover; and to expose ones
self Immediately after sweat or warm
bath, is risking your life.
In treating cold among our active New
England people, some method must be used
that will admit of a person attending to their
daily labor as usual.
Among such people, probably more colds,
more cases of catarrh, bronchitis. sore
throat, cough and hoarseness, have been
cured by the use of Johhnson's Anodyne
Liniment than any other remedy known.
The large circular wrapper around each bet
tie, contains simple and plain directions for
treating and curing all these complaints.
The propretors, |. S. johnson & Co., %
Custom House St, Boston, Mass, will send
to any address, free, valuable pamphlet on
the subject. Or for 30 cents, they will send
one bottle of .lohnsous Liniment. Six
