TIE HUMBLE HAIRPlN.

You Thought You Knew Its Many
Uses, but There Are Others.
The comprehensive merits of the
halrpin are known to all observant
men. Its special value in surgery is
asserted by writer In American Med
icine. 1t seems that surgeon can do
almost anything with a hairpin. He
can wire bones with 1t, probe and close
wounds, pin bandagcs, compress blood
vessels, use it "tO remove foreign bod
les from any natural passage" and las
a curette for scraping away soft ma
tcrial." And no doubt the women
doctors can do Il great deal more with
that most gifted and versatile of hui
man implements. Anthropologists have
never done justice to the harpin 1t

hands of girls entirely great it is much
michtier than the sword or, for that
matter the pillow. What is the pillow
but Il development of the forked stick,
and what is the forkcd stick but n
modification of the hairpin? II there
was any necessity a woman could
scratch the ground successfully with
hairpin now. In fact. there is no work
or play in which something may not
be accomplished by means of it.

Said to Have Been Combination OF
Dante and Savonarola.
A close friend of George Eliot's,
writing of her persona! appearance,
said:
"She was not, as the world in gen.
eral is aware, a handsome or even q
personable woman. Her face was
long; the eyes not large or beautiful
in color-they were, think, Of a gray
ish blue; the hair, which she wore In
old fashioned braids, coming low down
on either side Of her face, Of a rather
light brown. 1t was streaked with
gray when last l saw her. Her figure
was Of middle height, large boned and
powerful. Lewes often said that she
Inherited from her peasant ancestors
q frame and constitution originally
very robust. Her head was finely
formed, with a noble and well bal
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 the
effect that she had a sweet face Il
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 dls-
tinctlv 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
Eliots physiognomy.

he recognized the kind of likeness thal
