said
"She was not, as the world in gen.
eraI is aware, a handsome or even. n
perSohable woman. Her face was
long; the eyes not large or beautiful

OLD fashioned braids, coming low down
on either side of her face. of a rather

gray when last 1 saw her Her figure
was OF middle height large boned and
powerful. Lewes often said that she
inherited from her peasant ancestors
frame and constitution originally
very robust. Her head was finely
formed, with a noble and well hal
anced arch from brow to crown. The
lips and mouth possessed a power of
infinitely varied expression.
George Lewes once said to me
when made some observation to thq
effect that she had a sweet face q
meant that the face expressed great
sweetness): You might say what a
sweet hundred faces! l look at her
sometimes in amazement. Her coun.
tenance is constantly changing
The said lips and mouth were dis

She has been compared to the portraits
OF SavOnarOla (who was frightfuD and

looking, was handsome). Something
there was of both faces in George

he recognized the kind of likeness that

DAIRY NOTES.

Glover is better than timothy for
cows.
Regularity in feeding and milking is
important.
To get all of the butter the cream
must be uniformly ripened.
In milking squeeze the teats just
hard enough TO get the milk.
Cows that are good producers of
rich milk must be good consumers.
In order to secure rich milk start
with a rich COW and feed her rich
foods.
In small quantities cottonseed' meal
is a good feed, but in excess it in
jures the butter.
Kicking a COW that is lying down
may make her get up more quickly,
but it will not induce her to give any
more milk.
If rock salt is kept in the yard where
the cows can lick it every day, there
is no danger that they will get too
much at once.
One of the most important condi-
tions of churning is the temperature of
the cream. No guess should be allowed,
but good thermometer used.

A Loss All Around.

A short time ago two Englishmen on
a visit to Ireland hired a boat for the
purpose Of having a sail. One of the
Britons, thinking he would have a good
joke at Pats expense, asked him if he
knew anything about astrology.
'Be jabers, no." said Pat.
"Then that's the best part of your
life just lost" answered the English
man.
The second Englishman then asked
Pat if he knew anything about theol-
Ogy.
"Be jabers, no." answered Pat.
"Well, 1 just guess that's the very
best part Of your life lost" said the
second Englishman.
A few minutes later the boat cap
sized, and Pat began to swim. The
Britons, however, could not swim, and
both called loudly to Pat to help them.
'Do you know anything about swim
ology?' asked Pat.
mo" answered both Englishmen.
'Weil, be jabers," replied Pat, "then
both of your lives is lost"

Judge Davis, wit.

The late Noah Davis, justice of the
supreme court of New York, was one
of many judges and lawyers who
make the courtroom the scene of some
of our best wit and humor. The New
York Commercial Advertiser gives
some illustrations.
Once a lawyer objected to a witness
but Judge Davis refused to sustain
him. The lawyer cried, But. your
honor, l submit And here he broke
off.
That's right" said the judge quick
ly; always submit. Crier, adjourn

In one case over which he presided
there were ffty-fve distinct offenses

COSTLY ACCIDENTS.
A Lost Tin Mine and "A Lead Mines
BOttOmIess Pit

BOttOmieSs Pit.
Immense plans which seemed about
to be completed, but have been brought
to disastrous failure at the last mo.
ment, are frequent enough in the his
tory of industry.
London Answers tells the story Of a
tin mine in England which might have
yielded a fortune but for a storm.
With the finding of new vein of ore
running out toward the sea new level
was driven out below the water; then
it was found that the lode bent uD.
ward too near the sea bottom for min
ing to be safely carried on. Undiscour-
aged, the owner borrowed money. built
sea wall to cut off the water. erected
pumps and again went to work.
On the sixth day just as an enOr.
nous mass of rich ore was being ten.
ped gale came up, a ship was blown
upon the wall, which went to pieces at
once, and the sea drove the heavy
stones in upon the thin roof of the
mine. In a moment the workings were
hOpelessly flooded, and the owner was
a ruined man.
A story equally tragic is told Of the
Speedwell lead mine in Derbyshire.
Believing that a rich vein of ore exist-
ed in a nearby hill, the owner risked
his entire capital to bore tunnel 1900
feet long into the heart of the noun
tain. Suddenly the miners broke
through a wall of rock into vast hid.
den cavern, through which flowed a
stream of water
They began to dump rock into the
stream, and after 10000 tons a bridge
began to rise out of the darkness, and
then their farther progress was stop
ped. Month after month they toiled,
and at last, after 10000 tons in all
had been cast into the cavern, they
gave it up.
That narrow rift is known to this
day as the BOttomless Pit.

6WNaT was one of the most wonderful of
E days in the wonderful life of that
ka K splendid thing among mans crea-
tions, the White City of 1893. The lake,
almost waveless, lay extended like vast
expanse of blue satin till it blended with
the eastern sky, the green of trees and grass
was vivid, the air was perfect and the NOV
ing thousands and tens of thousands visit
ing the great worlds fair stepped lightly
as they walked, and were full of life and
laughter Among all the myriad groups
there was none in greater spirits than one
made up of half a dozen people, led by
middle-aged man and woman, who were
evidently the host and hostess of the occa-
sion. The woman's face showed intelligence
and refinement, that of the man intellect
and great strength of character. That the
two, husband and wife, had not tired OF
each other throughout the years, that they
were in perfect accord and lovers still, was
manifested by the many signs recognizable
to those who have the eyes to see such
things There was understanding, defer
ence and thoughtfulness in glance and word
in any suggestion regarding the movements
of the party, now on its way toward the
Ferris wheel. Certainly to be congratulated
upon their partnership in life were Mr.. and
Mrs. Gentil.
The proposal to ride in the Ferris wheel
had not come from either Mr.. or Mrs. Gen
til, but from one of the young ladies of the
group, though readily acquiesced in. None
had yet made the aerial journey in the steel
monster and, as they strolled along, much
curiosity was expressed as to what the SEN
sation would be when lifted so far aloft.
Mr.. Gentil alone did not express himself.
His wife was observing him narrowly and
there grew look of concern upon her face,
as was already apparent upon his. He was
perturbed,
The wheel was reached, the tickets Sc
cured and laughingly distributed by MIR.
Gentil and then, as if something forgotten
had just occurred to him, he explained hur-
riedly:

return to the main grounds for short

many criminals richly deserving punish
ment were allowed to go free.
It was almost impossible at first to Sc
cure Lincoln's consent to the execution OF
a soldier for desertion, and through i'm
munity for this crime the army just after
Fredericksburg was actually threatened
with dissolution. He could not Withstand
the agonized tears of fathers, mothers and
friends of the condemned; seemingly would
not understand why man who had enlisted
to be shot by the enemy, perhaps, should
be shot in cold blood by his own friends.
In some respects the foregoing would APP
near to characterize an essentially weak,
womanish nature; but Lincoln was far from
being weak man, though easily moved by
misery and suffering, and apparently totally
free from every sort of prejudice. On occa-
sion he could be as firm as rock when he
thought justice should be vindicated, and
especially so when the well-being or lives
of the struggling soldiers at the front were
involved In cases of the wanton murder of
union soldiers it was seldom that an appeal
for clemency was successful.

Linc0ln's Clemency

ESgV7RITING on "Appeals to Lincoln's
AVE- Clemency," Mr.. Leslie J. Perry says,
hAM in a recent issue of the Century,
that in all his many-sided aspects Abraham
Lincoln is perhaps better understood and
more thoroughly appreciated than any 9th
er great American, for his life was as open
as the day. His heart went out spontan-
eously to the lowly, whose hopes and as
pirations he understood. He was very ap-
proachable With a cause to plead, the
meanest as we'll as the greatest could reach
Lincolns ear at all times. Lincoln hated
strife and bloodshed, yet his career culmin-
ated in the greatest war of modern times.
He was made miserable by the trials and
misfortunes of his country; his honest heart
was wrung by cases of cruelty and hardship
incident to a state of war that were daily
brought to his attention on appeal in some
form. The tender-hearted president was
the terror of military despots and brutal
jailers everywhere. Through appeals to him
