Goethe,s Burning Eyes.

Thackeray in one of his letters gives
this description of Goethe, whom he
saw at Weimar: HE was habited in
long gray or drab redingote, with a
white neck cloth and a red ribbon in
his buttonhole. He kept his hands be-
hind his back, just as in Rauchs stat
uette. His complexion was very bright.
clear and rosy, his eyes extraordinarily
dark, piercing and brilliant. felt quite
afraid before them and recollect COM
pairing them TO the eyes of the hero of
certain romance called Melnoth the
Wanderer,' which used to alarm us
boys thirty years ago-eyes of an indi-
vidual who had made bargain with
certain person, and at extreme old age
retained these eyes in all their awful
splendor."

Maine Summer Resort.

The Early Days of This Now Famous
Maine Summer Resort.
In 1888 Mount Desert and its neigh
borhood were granted by the French to
a man named Cadillac. When Acadia
was finally as result of that long war
relinquished to England it was given to
Governor Bernard, but as this gentle
man when the Revolution broke out
was loyal to King George the estate
was confscated. Meanwhile M. Bar
tholomew Gregoire and his wife, Maria
Theresa, who was the granddaughter
of the original grantee, revived the
claim Of Cadillac, and it was allowed.
For years the island remained soli-
tary place, with long stretches Of un-
broken forests into whose labyrinths
no stranger dared venture without a
guide, its land uncleared, it's future un-
dreamed of, but artists, weary of the
commonplace, found out the spot and
its wild charms, and now and then a
world worn, brain spent man would
steal away to seek the islands solitude
and stimulus. These seekers for beau
ty or health would carry their own
camp outfit or later would patronize
the hotels.
The first summer cottage there was
built on site that was bought for
$500. When fashion had put her stamp
Of approval upon the place land that
would not have brought dime an acre
during the time Of the Gregoires was
sold at from $25,000 to upward Of

STAGE REALISM.
Why Joe Jefferson Didn't Have q
Real Dog Schneider.

Real Dog Schneider.
1t was the privilege of the writer
years ago to attend reception at
which Joseph Jefferson spoke on the
drama. His treatment of the subject
was interesting, the utterance Of a
man who knew the art of which he
spoke. But the most interesting part
Of the hour came after the completion
Of the formal address, when an oppor-
tunity was given to the audience to
ask any questions they wished Of Mr..
Jefferson. Soon the familiar topic was
introduced, the effect Of the modern
elaboration and realism In stage set
ting. Mr.. Jefferson at once rose to the
question. He spoke somewhat rapidly,
with quaint humor and sympathetic
charm that were irresistible. He char
acterized the modern fashion of stage
setting as "a tribute to the weakness
Of the human imagination" II am Of
ten asked" he went on, why 1 do not
have real dog Schneider. But If did
none of you would be satisfied. You
would go home saying, We'll, Schnei-
der never looked like that dogY You
love Schneider because you have made
him out of piece of your own heart.
And then" meditatively, 'if l had a
real Schneider some one in the gallery
would probably whistle to him at the
critical moment, and he would bark
and spoil the play. While if he knew
his part perfectly and did just what
Schneider ought to do'-pausing and
with his delightful smile" Schneider
would be the hero and not Ripw Then,
with twinkle Of the eye, he summed
up the whole matter with the quiet re-
mark, "Realism with a tail to wag in
the wrong place is dangerous thing"

BEAU BRUMME
Some Incidents In the Life of This
Noted English Fop.

Noted English Fop.
An English paper prints a number Of
stories of Beau Brummel, some of
which perhaps are not generally
known. At the Pavilion, at Brighton,
he ordered the footman to empty his
snuffbox into the fire because bishop
had taken a pinch unasked. A man
whom he had met at dinner offered
him lift in his carriage to Lady Jer-
sey's ball. THANK you exceedingly"
said the Beau, "but how are you to go?
You would not like to get up behind,
and / cannot be seen in the same car
riage with you" He made no secret
Of his humble birth and when asked
about his parents declared that "the
poor old creatures both cut their
throats years ago eating peas with a
knife" Once at least Brummel met
his match. He was playing hazard at
Brooks, when well known alderman,
a brewer, was one Of the party.
"Come, Mashtub," said Brummel, who
was the caster, whats your set%
twenty-five guineas," was the reply.
"Well, then, have at the mayors pony"
said Brummel, who proceeded to cast,
and by run of luck won the stake
twelve times in succession. Pocketing
the money, he thanked the brewer and
promised that in future he would drink
no ones porter but his. "I wish, SIR"
replied the brewer, "that every other
blackguard in London would tell me
the same"

The Original Pygmies.

African pygmies are about four feet
to four feet three and half inches
high. To be in harmony with their
name, however. they should measure
only thirteen and half inches in
height. For the original pygmaei,
whom Homer believed to live far to the
south and who were warred upon by
cranes and whom Herodotus knew to
exist in Africa, were named after the
Greek measure ''pygme." literally a
fist. This was supposed to be the dis
tance from the elbow to the knuckles,
reckoned at eighteen "dactyli," or fin
gers, equal to thirteen and a half
inches.

calculated upon, but as a matter Of
fact he hadn't stopped to balance his
love for Rose Henderson against so

as he realized it his natural independ-

to hear him speak of an elopement or
a secret marriage. Seven or eight
years was an eternity The young
man was an ardent wooer, but he was

plate and whispered to himself:
"Rose's either the best of daughters
and ought to have a diamond ring for
this, or she has some little scheIee to
spring on me. Very innocent girl, Rose
is, but she'll bear watching"
He should have watched her that
very day instead of making a journey
of twenty miles and back to see
certain piece Of real estate. While he

father reached home it was to find the
house in charge of an old servant and
to learn that the young mistress had
been absent all day. This was some
thing so unusual that he was at once
alarmed, and as night came he could
hardly sit still. The night passed with
out a word from her, and he was max
ing ready to call for the assistance of
the police when a note from Rose was
showed under the front door by Joy

easily enough, but he soon satisfied
them that he had no hand in the affair.

than the father. He advised mo COM

had charge of the case and worked ev-
cry string they could grasp. Second
and third notes were received from
Rose. She was being well treated, but
the money must be paid or the kidnap-
ers would become desperate. Day and
night the father and the lover hunted
in company, but the bold fellows had
covered their tracks too well. When
the police acknowledged themselves
beaten the ransom money was forward
ed, and three hours later Rose was
home. Never mind the tale she told.
Suffice it to say that it was well told
and hung together like chain. 1t was
two evenings later that she smilingly
queried of James:

minutes at a time the men stood with
heads lowered like bulls, their arms
locked behind each others necks and
straining until their muscles stood out

At last they were over in one corner

over like fash and pinned his shoulders
to the mat.
