GEORGE ELloT's FACE.
Said to Have Rcen n-eombinntion oi

Said to Have Reen Accumulation of
Dante and Savonnroln.
A close friend of George Eliot's,
writing of her personal appearance,
said:
"She was not, as the world in gen.
eral is aware, u handsome or even a
personable woman. Her face was
long; the eyes not large or beautiful
in color-they were. think, of gray
ish blue; the hair, which she wore in
old fashioned brnids, coming low down
on either side OF her face, of a rather
light brown. 1t was streaked with
gray when last saw her. Her figure
was bf middle height, large boned and
powerful. Lewes often said that she
inherited from her peasant ancestors
frame and constitution originally
very s.robust. Her head was finely
formed, with noble and we'll bal
anced arch from brow to crown. The
lips and mouth possessed power of
Infinitely varied expression.
George Lewes once said to me,
when made some observation to the
effect that she had sweet face Il
meant that the face expressed great
sweetness): You might say what a
sweet hundred faces! look at her
sometimes in amazement. Her coun-
tenance is constantly changing
'The said lips and mouth were dis
tinctly sensuous in form and fullness.
She has been compared to the portraits
Of Savonarola (who was frightfuD and
Of Dante (who. though stern and bitter
looking. was handsome). Something
there was of both faces in George
Eliot's physiognomy.
"Lewes told us in her presence of the
exclamation uttered suddenly by some
one to whom she was pointed out at Il
place Of public entertainment. That
said bystander. is George Eliot The
gentleman to whom she was thus indi.
Gated gave one swift, searching look
and exclaimed, soto voce, 'Dante's
auntI Lewes thought this happy. and
he recognized the kind of likeness that
was meant to the great singer Of the
Divine Comedy. She herself playfully
disclaimed any resemblance to Savona-
rola. But, although such resemblance
was very distant-Savonarola pecul-
iarly unbalanced countenance being a
strong caricature Of hers-some like
ness there was"

The min in dental anguish some

from "dolor dentium" toothache), ap-

he could not speak. Thereupon lie
wrote on wax prayer to God for the
other brethren to repeat, and as soon
as all were on their knees the pain
went. But what painw he says.
Never since my tender age had cx-

Life Of John Wesley" tells of that
eminent preacher that when his own
tooth ached he prayed and the pain
left him.
Unfortunately ordinary men do not
seem to have such efficacious faith
When the cXcruciation begins, they
must bear it philosophically, and on
Shakespeare's authority toothache
finds out just the weak place in the

the middle ages the devout who were

And there would seem to have been

An Instance of German Militar,
Thrift and Red Tapeism.

An Instance of German Military
Thrift and Red Tapeism.
An instance of military thrift and Of
red tape system which is not peculiar
to Germany comes from the Prussian
war office. In 1866 the guards were
breakfasting hurriedly. They had on
the previous day fought the battle of
Soor and had accomplished altogether
nine days march. This was not the
era Of canned meats, and to each regi-
ment had been allotted certain num-
ber of cattle which had been killed,
skinned and cooked, but while the men
were still eating scouts came in with
the news that the Austrians We're near
at hand.
The men got into marching order and
in few minutes were in rapid ad-
vance toward the enemy. The Grena-
dier guards, conspicuous always for
their dispatch, hurried to such purpose
that they failed to secure the skin of
COW which had been made over to
them for rations.
When the official who was RESPONSE.
BILE for the value of the hide came to
ask for it, 1t had to be reported miss
ing. Inquiries We're set on foot, evil
dence was collected, and a voluminous
correspondence lasting fourteen or fif-
teen months failed to account for the
skin.
There had been COW. She had been
made over to the guards. She had a
hide. The hide was government prop
erty, representing sum fixed by off,
cial tariff. The government must be
credited with that sum. The hide was
not forthcoming Who should be re-
sponsible for its cash value?
1t was at last decided that the colonel
Of the regiment should be held account.
able, and year and half after the
conclusion of the seven weeks war
he was requested by the war office to
remit the sum Of 8 thalers, the price
Of one cowskin lost by the Grenadier
guards. When the sum was paid. the
subject was at last officially dropped.

1t would be capital idea if every
business man would refuse to employ
any young men smoking the nasty
cigarettes, and they would be doing the

who use them, but, besides they are an

Goodbye, proud world, I'm going home:
Thou art not my friend. and I'm not thine.

Long I've been tossed like the driven foam:
But now, proud world, Pm going home.

To Grandeur with his wise grimace:
No upstaIt Wealth's averted eye;
To supple Onlce. low and high;
To crowded halls, to court and street;
To frozen hearts and hssting feet;

Goodbye. proud world. I'm going home.

BOsomed in yon green hills alone,-
A secret nook In q pleasant land.
Whose groves the frOlic fairies planned;
Where arches green, the livelong day,
Echo the blackbird'S rOundelay,
And vulgar feet have never trod
A spot that Is sacred to thought and God.
o. when am safe In my sylvan home,
tread on the pride of Greece and Rome;
And when am stretched beneath the pines,
Where the evening star so holy shines,
laugh at the lore and the pride of man,
At tile sophist schools, and the learned clan
For what are they ALL In their high conceit,
When man in the bush with God may meet?

Sucking poiaonon. wounds.

Among all people the sucking Of the
wound has ever been considered the
most effective remedy of immediate
application for snake bites. In Africa
cupping instrument is employed in
emergencies of the kind to draw out
the poisoned blood. The ancients fol
lowed the same methods, and when
Cato made his famous expedition
through the serpent infested African
deserts he employed many savage
snake charmers, called "psylli," to fol-
low the army. They performed many
mysterious rites over men who We're
bitten, but the efficacy of their treat
ment appears to have consisted in suck
ing the wounds.

KERR'S SHOE
STORE ROBBED

Burglars gained entrance to the
shoe store of L. B. Kerr, corner of
Fort and Hotel streets. some time Sun
day night, and s4165 in silver was
stolen from till, which was broken
open. More than 800 in gold, which
had been placed in an empty shoe box,
was overlooked. The till and desk
were practically ruined by the burglar
in his efforts to get at the cash. 1t
is believed that some one hid in the
back room of the Peniel mission, wait
ing until after it was closed before
going out of window at the back and
descending to a narrow alleyway at
the rear of the shoe store The iron
doors were ingeniously opened. The
cement at one side of the easement
was broken out and a hole made
through which tool was thrust, and
the hold-down bar thrown out of po-
sition, thus allowing the doors to be
opened.
Deitz's jewelry store was also enter
ed, but only a watch charm has so far
been missed. "Barefooted Bill" the
crafty Hawaiian. is suspected of hav-
ing something to do with the robbery.
