Emerson's Appearance.

Emersons appearance was striking. and
his manner not without certain austere
awkwardness, especially noticeable on the
lecture platform, where for years l rarely
missed an opportunity of hearing him.
He was tall and spare, with a slight
stoop of the shoulders, a head carried
slightly forward, and fine eyes of a pc
cular peering, penetrating expression.
The strong aQuiline nose was the most
characteristic feature, but he had ears
TO match; they were the side wheels to
that prov, viewed from behind, they
stood out from his head like wings bor-
rowed from the feet of Mercury. The
head itself was one to battle phrenology.
There seemed to be nothing remarkable
about it except it's height in spiritual
and moral regions, veneration, firmness
self-esteem. 1t was otherwise almost
commonplace, full in the observing fac
ultes, but falling away to flatness in
what is known as causality; wide in
Ideally and sublimty, and. as far as
could guess from rather close scrutiny
on two or three occasions, in caution
and destructiveness. His force did not
lie in mere intellect. He never argued
what was reasoning in others was in
him a questioning of perceptions. Add
to this temperament, genius. the torren-
tal source of being we name the soul,
elusive to the anatomist, and to the FUN
bling fingers of phrenologist forever past
finding out.
In lecturing he had but one gesture. a
downward thrust of his clenched right
hand, which was nearly always held con-
torted and tense at his side, and which
he used with unconcious earnestnsss in
driving his imaginary stakes. He was
sometimes amusingly careless with his
manuscript losing his place and search
ing for it with stoical Indifference to his
patiently waiting audience, up to my
old tricks" as 1 once heard him remark

and thus insure sturdier race as
the result of cross-fertilization. It is
to this end also that your flowers arc

secrste forms a third attraction-tae

AN ODD INDIAN BELIEF.
Tradition Connected With the Division
Into CaStea

s'oS'stVn SVIUCCk0O WIKI t0O 0jvISsCIl
Into Castles.
According to the tradition Of one Of
the tribes OF India, the sun created
. man and . woman at the beginning
OF time and this couple had twelve
children. When they had all como to
an age to shift fer themselves the
sun divided them into pairs and placed
food Of all kinds before them. On
their choice depended the fate Of their
descendants. Those who took vege-
tables only became the ancestors OF
the highest caste of ell, the Brah-
mans. while the Santals, the lowest
OF all castles, spring from those who
chose pigs. The Kols declare that they
are descended from those who took
bullocks' flesh and to the sustaining
power of the food of their choice the
Larka, or fighting Kols, attribute
their strength and fine physique.
When these latter at tho beginning
of the last century first met English
troops they were quickly impressed
with the fighting powers Of the stran-
gers. and. finding that they, too, ate
bullocks' flesh, tho Kols paid them the
great compliment of assigning them
The same pair OF ancestors rs the
kols. But by tho time eleven pairs
lad chosen their shave Of the food
provided there WAS nothing left for
he unfortunate twelfth couple. and
hey had to beg food from the others
Who had Jared better. From this I'M
