Story Of George Eliot.

Mry. Walford, the English novelist,
has been publishing her reeollections.
Among her amusing stories is this of
George Eliot: THE famous authoress
was being feted at Cambridge. and a
few enthusiastic and very youthful
admirers were permitted to Join a
luncheon party given in her honor,
though accommodation could only be
found for them at side table. They
could. however. look and listen. and
as there was not much to look at they
listened the more. The large. full
lips seemed to be emitting words Of
wisdom; then craned their necks, they
stretched their ears. Suddenly the
tension was relieved: they leaned
back in their chairs and laughed as
only boys ever laugh. What had they
heard? The deep voice that should
have pronounced judgment on a
Cicero or Sophocles had exclaimed
with fervid protest: But. surely. Mr..
So-and-So. you DO not mean to say
you really like that bitter Bairisch
beer?"

classy MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS

Mr.. Arthur Bowes informs us that
THE Idylls OF Colorado" set of
pianoforte pieces he composed in the
summer to commemorate his stay in
Central City, are now in the press
and will be ready for publication in
about a week.
There are four in number, and will
be issued collectively in album form
and as each one Is widely different
in character from the other, it may
be Of interest to the people of Cen
trail to know something about them,
and so we take pleasure in giving the
following account:
The first, "a Nocturane," compos-
ed when Mr.. Bowes was on Bellevue
mountain, is, as tho title indicates,
of a dreamy, soulful nature, and
should be played with the utmost
tenderness. Its melodies are of a
monies exquisitely beautiful, and we
can well understand it's being a favor
itc wherever played. This is truly a
poem without words.
The second, "To a Chipmunk, was
thought out when the author was
strolling through the Virginia canon
with friend one summer afternoon.
This is vivacious little number, full
of life and "go" and as one listens
to it, one can almost see the play
full little chipmunk, darting in and
out amongst the boulders, playing
hide and seek with it's schoolfellows.
The third, "Chickadee," is of an
entirely different character and
though not as lively as the proceed
ing number, yet is light, graceful and
featherly and altogether charming.
In the introduction the author has
introduced the notes of the chick,
adee which are as closely initiated
as possible.
The fourth, is a gavotte, which
the vocal numbers inserted in the
opera, "The Monk of San Juan"
which was presented here in tho sum-
NOR. This number is considered by
many Of Mr. Bowes' friends to be
one of the prettiest gavottes ever
penned, and destined to become i'm
mediately popular.
These Idylls are original and quite
unique in their way, We not being
aware of anything of the kind ever
having before been published, and in
asmuch as we may now claim Mr..
Bowes as lone of u.s. we take a two
fold interest in them, and wish for
them an unlimited popularity.

"DRAWING LONG BOW"
STORIES THAT STRAIN oNE'O
POWER OF BELIEF.
Baron Munehausen Beaten to Il BY
Some OF the Ancients-Remarka-
Bile eow-and-Arrow Story Of
Virgil.

Many Tong bow" stories are to be
found In the worlds literature long be-
fore the time Of the celebrated Baron
Munchausen. Indeed, by far the great
est part Of them had their origin in
the remote past.
Virgil, In the Aeneid. tells OF four
archers who were shooting for a prize,
the mark being pigeon tied by q
cord to the mast Of ship. The first
man hit the mast, the second cut tho
cord and the third shot the pigeon as
It flew away. The fourth archer.
having nothing left at which to shoot,
drew his bow and cent his arrow fly
ing toward the sky with such speed
that the friction of the air set the
feathers on fire and It swept on like
a meteor. to disappear in the sky.
That's bow and arrow story to test
the strongest credu1ity.
The stories Of Robin Hoods archery,
illustrated by his wonderful perform
ance at Locksley in Scott's '1vanhoe,"
are also a decided strain on one1
power Of belief.
The famous legend Of William Tell
is believed by some authorities to have
foundation in fact. There was q
Dane named Foke OF whom the same
story was told, and William Of Clouds
ley. an Englishman, is said to have
shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his skill.
The majority Of bow and arrow
stories relate to the accurate aim Of
the archers, but Frenchman, Blaise
de Vigenere, tells one in which the
main point Is the tremendous force
with which an arrow may be propelled
If the bow is strong and long enough.
According to his own account Of the
matter, he saw Barbarossa, Turk,
admiral Of ship called the Grand
Solyman. send an arrow from hts bow
clean through a cannon ball. Whether
the cannon ball had hole in It or not
he neglects to inform US.
Perhaps the most astounding Of all
stories about arrow shooting is that
of the Indians who used to inhabit
Florida. 1t is said that group Of
them would form a circle, one would
throw an ear Of Indian corn into the
air, the rest would shoot at it and
shell 1t Of every grain before 1t fell
to the ground. Sometimes the arrows
would strike the ear Of corn 30 hard
and fast that It would remain sus-
pended in the air for several minutes
and the cob never fell until the last
grain had been shot away.

Bird That Depends on Mate for Life.
A final attempt Is being made By
the New Zealand government to OBJ
tain specimens Of the hula, a bird
which has been practically exterminat-
ed by the vogue for its feathers which
obtained among the Maoris.
The hula Is Jet black bird. with q

in pairs. The male has short strong
'beak and the female q long. slender.

then dips her beak into the holes Of
