WILKIE COLL 13(9 AT IIOT1E. A rhn( with tlie lirciil I'.iulUh Story Uri>cr-llik Vlfw* mid lUndn. HIS HOUR. Wilkle Tolling writes a London correspondent, lives in one of the gloomiest streets that l runsout of gloomy,aristocratic Portinan square, j Hi* house is one of a number of monotonous, j dirty l>rick structures, which look a? forbidding ; a* the street which receives the evil influences j of ail of them, but, once within its hospitable portals, the contract is as great as that between midnight and mid day. A broad, generous stairway at the end of tho irreat hallway leads up to Mr. Collins" workshop, and thither I am led by the plump, over fed-loo king servant who I responds to the bell. The workshop is the back j room of Mr. Collin*' drawing room floor. It has a huh c. ling, K say. 'JOxoO feet In area, has a large fireplace. in which a grateful fire is j burning briskly, two or three easy chairs and other out - not so easy, a weil-worn table with a sloping writing board on tnes.de. adjoining a hard wood arm-chair: behiu-l that a chest of lockers and drawers, aad on two sides of the room rows of substantial bookcases. On all the other wall spaces, except exactly in front of the desk, where a green baize curtain on rollers Is hung, there are framed photographs of tlie Italian frescoes and familiar plates in steel and copper. It is 10 minutes, jterhaps, before the great story teller comes in. and I employ the interval In scanning the libiavy to find a well-worn edition of the Waverley novels occupying the principal and nioft accessible place. Ju>t beneath them is an American edition of Cooper. Another set of shelving is devoted to Voltaire and Baizac. ari l a third to theatrical books and the author's own production no sniail library, forming, as it does, some ?C5 volumes, telling a tbird of so many stories. Kvery book that can be made to stretch over three volumes is published in that form in Kniriand. I notice, further. a s..ft velvet curtain that hangs between this and the larger iront room, and that the carpet is -oinewhat old and shabby, and never had been a pretly one. Nevertheless, the room has a comfort able air. and there is a restful suggestion Jn it- business-looking a;;r. chairs ami books. T>y this time a quick step is heard in the hail, the door flies open and MF: roi i i\s HiMSKi.F apppear-L I dare say that nearly everybody has seen his picture in some one or other of his books, and a good many Americans have seen him and heard him on the rostrum. But his picture gives only a faint suggestion of the j man. ami, as It was 10 years or something over since he gave readings in America, this description of him at home is nut. amiss. A man of. say 60 years, below themcdium height.witha ste. pIng figure and head drawn down between his shoulders, small limbed, slight in stature and quick, almost nervous. In movement. His skull is deep, with high, prominent forehead, j which is somewhat higher than it i was when his hair grew stronger; large ! brownish eyes. which shine brightly, from through the steel-rimmed spectacles he ! habitually wears. He is unshaven, ami wears a j moustache of light srrowth and whiskers that flow o\cr his breast, but are squarely trimmed, j He has a smal! hand, with near shaiied flnirers. ! a small foot, covered with an artistic kid boot. | striped brown pantaloons. somewhat worn ami ! carefully m< nded in < no or two places. a blue flannel v. a stcoat and coat, a lim n shirt splashed with gory red square-. ami a blue and white scarf worn in a debonair fashion gives him an air of rakishness which t!ie presence of his j brownish white anil patriarchal beard and silvering loc k- can scarcely counteract. His greeting is hearty. He shakes hands vigorously. j ails the chair- into shape and delays not his talk. He begins by recalling his trip to America some for. years ago. and says: "It Is a splendid place." * * * * * COI.MNS OX eoorKR.

"Ah, there." he replied, pointing to the row of Cooper's novels. " there has always been the difficulty. No man will ever excel him in that line; no man can. When ! think of his work I am deterred from attempting that at which I must fail. Xo. no; 1 shall never attempt the sea. although in The Fiozen Deep'I have attempted the treatment of" a sailor's life. That was ui the drama, however." Mr. Collins happened, in some way. to refer to chari.es rkadk, and ?poke of his present illness, which may prove fatal, and added : " I have just had a line trom him. He is quite ill. Hut he is an older nan than I: in fact, he is nearly sixty-two, while ] am not yet tifty-nine." I thought that was dividing the difference between the ages of these two srreat tory-tellers. ar.d obviously Mr. Collins was truck with the same idea, for he went on quicklv : "Not much difference, to be sure, but one w hich may l>e marked by all kinds of j changes.

If you think It would Interest you. lly father was, a royal academician, and wax anxious to Kive me all the opportunities to follow the t*-nt of my own penius. I had been abroad with him a good deal, and when I returned to London. I wanted to go Into the tea business. I thought at that time of the Immense wealth to be gained by it and the power of the merchant. It wasn't very long before I got tired of that, and my lather agreed w ith me that I should become a barrister. I was duiy articled, but 1 hadn't been there very lonjf before I was told by the chief that he noticed me scribbling too murh. 'Now,' says he, 'you must top that, or I won't keep you here. It would be wrong to take your father's money. But if you will stop that scribDllnir and read law and nothing but law for three years, and then give attention to the profession whoso rudiments by that time you will have begun to acquire. I can hope to see you at the top some time. But you must read law and nothing else. You may have the Times newspaper as a relief, but only that.' Well, 1 don't know whether It was the prospect of the Times or the law. but I was discouraged and icave over the study, but kept on scribbling Just the same, and ate the requisite number of dinners, and was dually called." " Had you launched anything yet?" "No; my poor father died about this time, and 1 began at once upon his biography, which I subsequently published. By the way, here Is one of my father's pictures." " He pulled up the green baize curta il, w hich I referred to before, and displayed a half dozen portraits iu oil, and in the renter, a gem of color and drawing, representing a cliff at the southwest entrance to the bay of Naples. "That," said Mr. Colllna, with a proper pr.de. "was my father's masterpiece. For it the greatest patron and wealthiest connots.-eur of the time repeatedly offered his blauk ehecK. 1 would not sell it. Tho others are family pictures. THIS FIR3T VF.NTCRB. "Before I published my fathers biography,bowever. 1 launched a book on a classical subject. It w as Wnfonina.' I secured its publication unaided. md after only one refusal of It. I took to Bicitard Rentier, w'ue acccyted it right H I away ann cave me ?200 for the story, which was a capital price for an unknown and untried writer. He published It In bridal white and and exhausted almost the entire edition in sending copies to the nobility and prominent people. Then came 'Basil,' "'Mr. Mayo's i Casket.' 'Hide and Seek,' and by this time I was fully embarked upon a literary career. After t hat 1 became a regular contributor to Household Words, then edited by my friend Charles | Dickens, and my stories have "ever since been ' tlr-t published In a serial form. There you have my literary career In brlet. I have written Borne twenty-two or twenty-three novels, and hope to write some more. I had the plot for many others in my mind." " How do you work, Mr. Collins?rapidly ?" "No. not very. Let me see. I write al>out nine or ten pages of a book a day when I work regularly. It usually takes me six months to turn ont a book after I get fairly started upon , it. I work chiefly at night, and use very large | sized sheets of payer, on which I write very slowly, and cut a great deal. Here. now. Is i the manuscript of my last story. 'The Black ! Boi*-.' You see It is scratched and worked over i until It. becomes scarcely dt&ipharabie. The I printer can read it, however, even it you can't, at a glance." I couldn't read it at a elance. and I am not sure that I could read it at all. And yet 1 have rea<l letters written by John W. Forney, and i made o"ut what Horace (Jreeley was trying to write. It v.as cut, interlined, the interiineai th us interlined auain. sentences written on the ! side and hauled into place by a line around them, | and era-ares which looked as though the writer, in trying to scratch out something, tried also to push it out through the paper on the other side. There were blots everywhere. "It is a pretty good day's work for me to get through three of these pages in a day." Three of his pagen would make about 1.200 i words, or, say, two-thirds of the spaco of this i column. "When I come to the last I get the fever on. and I make the pages fly. Then l am In a way, ; and I write and write till nature either stops me , or I finish. When I came near the end of 'Man 1 and Wile" I wrote away for dear life some 12 or 14 hours, without further rest than the exercise j 1 took when 1 got on the floor to act my situai tions and represent my characters, and no further refreshment than a little dry champagne J and a few frissoies." "I>o you always act jour characters?" "Yes. invariably. I have to consider what j they would do, and how. before I try to tell for ; a certainty how, under given cireum I M-.nirr*. nicy would nenave. Finishing a book like that always exhaust* me very much."' ICiiit* for the Library. From the New York <'rit.c. Books which children can read should be put on the lower shelves of the book-case, so that the children maybe tempted to take them down i for themselves and have a try at their contents. These books within a child's reach need not be i "juveniles." and indeed had better not be. They ou_rht to be travels and biographies, brightly written and full of pictures. Especially Should the file of Harprr's Ma-jazine or The Century stand where the young ones may readily net at ;t. On the othej hand, books which children should not handle should not be within -reach of tsieir hands. Lead not the little ones into teuij<tation. Lock up your KabelaK and perhaps even yonr Fielding, where little lingers may not happen on them. I'ut the Elizabethan dramatists and the comic writers ot the Kestoration where no Paul Pry. jr.. or his sister, may chance to spy them. Out of sight out of mind. All books need air. The doors? of all closed book-cases should be opened now and then, every fen uays, to let in light and to chance the air. Books are no more benefited by solitary confinement than are men. All books get du -t v. Every shelf should be cleaned out once in six months, every book being dusted and returned to its place. The best duster for tine bindings is a bit of soft chamois leather. Every book should carry its own history. Tt is well to note the prtce paid for it. the place where it was bought, and the date when It was purchased. This can best he done with a hprd penc.l in a corner of the back fivleaf. If bought at auction, note also the number it bore in the sale catalogue. When a hundred books are gathered together, then ought there to be a catalogue. The simplest form cf catalogue is a iittie pocket address book, with a marginal alphabetical index, in which are put down the ti: its i f the books under the name of the author. For small collections this will serve. It is b-st, however, to enter every book at least twice, once under the title ami again under the author's name. If you have more than two or three hundred books, don't attempt to cata> logne them ht-fore you have learned how to do it. Cataloguing is not as easv as it looks at fiist sii;ht. Never cut open the pages of a book or a magazine with anything but a paper-cutter. A finder is too blunt, and tears the edges. A knife is too sharp, and may cut the edges unequally. The best paper-cutter is a thin slip of ivory. Wood and bone are nearly as good. Metal is not. Never deface books In any way. Never scribble on them needlessly. Never disfigure them with unnecessary stamp, or with stamps in inappropriate places. A good book is a good friend, and should be treated with the respect due to a friend. I Never wet your fingers to turn over a leaf. Be warned by the fate of the king In the Arabian tale. Never turn down a corner of a page to hold your place. Never put in a soiled playing card, or a stained envelope, or bit of dirty string, or a piece of damp newspaper. Always use a regular bookmark. The simplest, ami one of the best, is a card as large as a small visiting card. By cutting this twice longitudinally from one end almost to the other, you will have a three-legged bookmark which rides astraddle of the page, one leg on the page below and two on the page you wish the book to open at. Never allow your books to get damp, as they may mildew. Never allow them to get hot, as the boards may warp, and the leather may crack. Never put them on a shelf high up near the ceiling of a room lighted by gas. as the results of gas combustion are highly injurious. Never put books with metal clasps or with embossed sides, or albums ornamented with decorative nails, on the shelves, by the side of other books, for the delicate bindings of the other .books will suffer. Put all such hedgehogs ot books in drawers or trays by themselves. Never let books lean sideways for a long time, as it racks the cover. If the absence of one or more books from a shelf makes It difficult to keep the remaining volumes upright, insert a wooden block in the place ot the missing books. n is urn iu nave a supply or asn or walnut blocks resembling in size and Bliape an octavo volume. If these are at hand, one of them can be substituted for any book taken down, whether tor study or to lend. A little slip of silicated paper glued on one side of this block would enable a record to be kept of the date when the book was taken away and of the purpose. When there are only a few books on a shelf, the best block to cause these to stand upright is made by sawing diagonally In half a cube of wood six inches every way. It Is best not to cover the l>ook9 of a library with paper. As Mr. William F. Poole puts It, "the covering Is expensive, troublesome, and quite as much an Injury as a protection to a book. A book covered with paper Is likely to need reblnding sooner than It it be not covered." A room full of books covered with paper is dull and monotonous; and no one who has ever glanced Into such a room will be inclined to disagree with Mr. Poole when he says that "books lose their Individuality by being covered." This Is not only an esthetlo disadvantage; It also reduces the usefulness of the books, as they are less easily handled and kept apart and In order. However, It may be well to cover children's school books, but with muslin, not paper. Never attempt to classify books on your shelves by the colors of the bindings or by the sizes of the books themselves. Put the works of an author together, as far as possible, however Incongruous their sizes may be. And try to keep books on the same and kindred subjects as close together as may be convenient. Never leave books or pamphlets out of sight In drawers for a long time, without examination to see that the mice have not made a nest in tho drawer out of the margins of the books. How It Wns Done. The Mattoon, 111., Journal is authority for the statement that when Dr. J. M. Gregory, formerly rogent of the Illinois Industrial University, was a boy, ho used to live in the same Baptist neighborhood in the Green Mountain State with the Green Mountain boy who isnow pesident oft he United States. And Chester A. Arthur and J. M. Gregory used to bo towheaded school bovs together. The Doctor used to know the Arthur girls, tho President's sisters, and when he was a young man used to sing in the President's father's ohuroh choir. Consequently, when Mr. Cannon went to see the President in Mr. Gregory's behalf, it was soon decided that he would be a good man to have on | the civil service reform commission, and that's how lie came to be one of them. His. Garter, of Bellair, O., says In her application for dtvofce that her husband compelled her to swallow spools, buttons, long strings 01 wrapping yarn and marbles as punishment for smiling at other railroad men as they passed the house. ELEGATT ME*. What Is Proper In Foil-Drew* and Bn?i? cm Suite* From the Brooklyn Eagle. In full drew there haa been a tendency to change a little from the conventional black cloth to the wale cord or fine diagonals of French manufacture. The coat Is made with a very small oord binding on the edge, the size of a steel knitting-needle, which gives it a fine finish. The vest is cut with four buttons, and lias a serpentine braid laid on about one-fourth of an inch from the edge. Vests will be made mostly with a rolling collar, but some still prefer them without. The stylish vest for a change Is the figured silk or cashmere in sold or black. Small checks and fine strides In dark colors will be chosen for trousers tills season. All high-colored goods will be avoided by well-dressed men. The trousers are cut medium?that Is, neither tight nor loose?and in all cases pantaloons intended to wear with a full dress suit are made with the pocket in the top seam instead ot on the side or in the corner as In others, and no pistol pocket. If there is anything that mars the appearance of a full-dress suit, it is to see either, by the flapping out of the skirt, that the crentle'man wearing it has his hnndkerchief in the pistol pocket, or to see the wearer standing with his hands in his pockets, which temptation Is out of his reach when the pockets are not in a convenient place. The double-breasted Prince Albert is always appropriate lor evening wear, but some, i with propriety, prefer the single-breasted or what, is known as the Broadway coat; ! the latter is especially suitable to a slender figure; both of these styles should be bound with a silk braid laid on flat, and a facing in many casesadds to the effect, though, of course, j that depends somewhat on the material used ! for the coat. The frock coat will be worn to i some extent with alow roll to show the shirt ! bosom, as in the case of business coats. In fact, I It may be said that the high buttoned style of | dress which has met with so much favor will I OfWin IlIM If C sin a. Tl.?

The vest is cut as low as the coat with wide lapels, and is fastened with throe buttons. Anything extreme in the cut and finish of such a suit is carefully avoided by men of taste. The trousers have a'stripe down the outside seam on the leg made of Mlk braid for young men. or of slight cord for elderly gentlemen. Scotch homespun plaids, worsteds and casaimeres, of neat small checks and mixed threads of color, are used for the entire suit, coat, vest and trousers, worn by men during business hours. The goods with red, brown and j green threads, woven together to produce quiet, i dark effects are most liked. The plain whipcord i worsteds in many different colors, olive, gray and brown shades, will be much worn by fash1 ionable young men. The cheviots, melton and I soft goods genoinlly .ire double stitched on the | edge three-eiirhths of an inch, but the worsted | aud finer goods are bound wide with braid laid i on flat, which produces a good effect. The three ; and four button cutaway is as popular as ever. as is also the four buttoned sack coat, but ! fashion seems to favor a change from the high j cut style of dress to a low roll showing the shirt i bosom with one stud and a neck scarf. i C'aunc for tlie Extinction of dio llorscm of flic l*o*t-Trr?iary. ; From Nature. A traveler in the park region of northei.i ! Colorado, and the central portion of Wyoming ! 15 years ago. could not fail to notice the imI mense numbers of skulls and other bones of bisons in districts at that time no longer frej quented by these animals. _Scattered specimens ; were to be seen in all directions, some of them ; bearing marks of bullet and knife which left no | doubt as to tho agent of destruction. Others were to be found in numbers in localities which ! suggested that they had been surprised by death I while seeking shelter from the weather rather : than the human destroyer. In such cases,tumbled and mixed by the scavengers, they were thickly ; strewed over small areas, and the contour of the surface often was such as to bring them cioser together with the movement of water or soil. When asked the cause of the wholesale slaughter, the reply of the natives was almost invariably, ' The hunters killed a great many, but the most died in the deep snow and cold weather some 25 years ago." The great losses experienced by the cattle men of the Medicine How and Elk Mountain region, only a couple of winters ago, are too recent to have been forgotten. The next spring and summer the unfortunate owner found the carcases of his cattle in positions similar to those occupied by the bands of bisons. In small parties they had huddled in sheltered basins or nooks, and* some, upheld l bv the snow through the winter, were still on i their feet. Since then these "bone-yards" have ' become similar in appearance to those of earlier . date. Last summer the kindness of Prof. 1 Agassi/, enabled me to make some discoveries , i:i the Mauvaises Terres of the eastern slope of ' the Ilocky mountains which vividly brought to ! mind the pockets full of recent skeletons. Sec1 tlons In the post-tertiary beds here and there ; disclosed groups or herds oi fossil horses j (Equus) in circumstances so similar as to leave ! no alternative to the conclusion that the same : causes had tilled the bone basins in the ' olden and In the most recent time. Stripped of the strata above them, the contour of the surface would have been similar, and the old-time coyotes in their feasting had evidently brought about an equal amount ot confusion In the remains. About the time of the deposition of these fossils the horses became extinct. Why, Is still an open question. Such evidence as was gathered there has led to tho belief that, In that region at least, occasional "cold waves" of days?perhaps weeks?In duration, which deep snows caused, or were the principal causes of tho extermination of the horses. Other causes that may be suggested are these: Lack of water and an extended glacial period. A consideration of the character of the deposits, the drainage of the mountains at the time, the absence in these b?Hls of proof Of a glacial period affecting them since, and the continued existence in the same locality of other creatures, somewhat less | sensitive to the cold, would seem to be sufficl' ent objections to their acceptance. The tradition of the Indians that there is a winter of terrible destruction to the animals once or twice in the life-time of a man?say onco in about 40 vears?appears to be confirmed by the testimony of the whites. A few degrees or a few days added to the measure of the "wave," or "blizzard," and a lew ijiches added to the depth of the snow would suffice to sweep the herds from tho pastures. Weather of this character is a possibility every winter in tho Bad Lands, though we hardly expect it. Apparently the rucua cuuiuiii eviucHue 01 huuii weamer in positertiary times. And It may not have differed so very much Ironi that we are having to-day. ? ? They Arc Not Strangers, namma. Mrs. Helen Williams, In the Chicago Woman's World. Not long ago I stood by the death-bed of a little girl. From her birth she had been afraid of death. Every fiber of her body and soul recoiled from the thought of It. #Don't let me die." she said; ''don't let me die. Hold me fast. Oh, I can't go." "Jenny," I said, "yon have two little brothers In the other world, and there i are thousands of tender-hearted people over i there who will love youand take care of you." I But she cried out again despairingly, "Don't let me go; they are strangers over there." She I was a little country srlrl, strong-limbed, fleet of foot, tanned in the face; she was reared on the frontier; the fields were her home. In vain we tried to reconcile her to the death that was Inevitable. "Hold me fast." she cried, "don't let me go." But even as she was pleading her little hands relaxed their clinging hold from my waist and lifted themselves eagerly aloft; lifted themselves with sucli straining effort that they lifted the wasted little body from its reclining position among the pillows. Her face was turned upward; but It wife her eyes that told the story. They were filled with the light of Divino recognition. They saw something plainly that we could not see; and they grew brighter and brighter, and her little hand quivered in eagerness to go where strange E>rtals had opened upon her astonished vision, ut even In that supreme moment Bhe did not forget to leave a word of comfort for those who would gladly have died In her place. "Mamma," she was saying, "mamma, they are not strangers. I'm not afraid." And every Instant the light burned more gloriously In her blue eyes till at last it seemed as 1! her soul leaped forth upon Its radiant waves,and In that moment her trembling form relapsed among Its pillows and she was gone. A Cask op Alleged Bigamy.?Miss Zora Colley, of Chattahoochee, and Cullen Jones were married last week, and the couple went to Tallulah Falls, Ga., to spend their honeymoon. A woman went there on Friday from Cherokee county and swore out a warrant for bigamy against Jones, and the sheriff arrested him ana took him to the Hall county jail. Zora clung to him, and would not believe the charge. When separated from him she attempted to commit suicide. Jones says he would have married Zora If he bad fifty wives. A STORY BY TOVRGE^IEFF. The Fable of ? Fool, Miowinc: How He Becainc a Uiw Critic. From the St. Jamet Gazette. "There was a fool. For many years he lived comfortably. Then, little by little, the news came to hTm from all quarters that he was a brainless fellow. "The fool was very mnch confused by this, and was very anxious to find some way to put an end to such disagreeable news. "At last a sudden idea brightened his poor head, and without much ado he put It into practice. "An acquaintance met him in the street and began to praise a famous painter. " 'Mercy!' exclaimed the fool. 'This painter was forgotten long ago. Don't you know that? I did not expect that from you. You are behind the times!' "The acquaintance was confuscd, and hastened to agree with the fool. " 'What a beautiful book that is,' another acquaintance said to the fool, talking of a new book. V 'Gracious!' exclaimed the fool, 'that book is good for nothing; there is not a single novel Idea in it. Everybody knows that. Don't you know it? Oh, you are behind the times. "And this "acquaintance also was confused, and he, too, agreed with the fool. " 'What a fine and noble man my friend N. is,' said another person to the tool. " 'Oh, dear me!' exclaimed the fool, 'he is a well-known scoundrel; he cheated all his relatives. Who does not know that? You are behind the times.' "And this person agreed with the fool and forsook his trlend. And the same sort ot remarks the fool made whenever they praised anybody or anything in his presence. Sometimes he added: 'Do you believe yet In authorities?' "Thus it came about that people began to talk of the fool thus: 'What an angry misanthrope ho Is!' 'But then, what a clear head!' 'And what a sharp tongue!' 'Ah, he Is a genius!' "At length the editor of a large journal asked the tool to conduct its department of criticism. And the fool criticised everything and everybody in his own peculiar manner. "The fool who denounced all authorities has now become an authority himself, and the youths revere him and fear him. They cannot help it, lor did not they revere the fool he would class them among those who are behind the times." ? ?;eorge l.Ilot aw a Housekeeper. True tft her woman nature, George Eliot did not allow her almost unrivaled genius to curb or destroy the feminine instincts for homemaking. In Mathildo Blind's interesting biography she gives us this pen-picture of George Eliot's girlhood: At a very early age Mary Ann and her brother were sent to the Village free school at Colton, in the parish of Griff, a not unusual custom in those days, when the moans of tuition for little children were much more difficult to procure than now. There are still old men living who used to sit on the same form with little Mary Ann Evans learning her A, B. C, and a certain William Jacques (the original of the delightfully comic Bob Jaklns of fiction) remembers carrying her pick-a-back on the lawn in front of her father's house. When she was 12 years old, being then, in the words of a neighbor who occasionally called at Griff house, "a queer, three-cornered, awkward girl." who sat in corners and shyly watched her elders, she was placed as boarder with the Misses Franklin at Coventry. This school, then In high repute throughout the neighborhood, was kept by two sisters, of whom the younger, Miss Rebecca Frankliu, was a woman of unusual attainments and lady-like culture, although not without a certain taint of Johnsonian affectation. She seems to have thoroughlv grounded Miss Evans in a sound English education, laying great stress in particular 011 the propriety ot a precise and careful manner of speaking anil readiug. AS A SCHOOL GIRL. Mary Ann, or Marian, as she came afterward to be called, remained about three years with the Misses Franklin. She stood aloof from the other pupils, and one ot her school fellows, Miss Bradley Jenkins, says that she was quite as remarkable in those days as after she imd acquired fame. She seems to have strangely impressed the Imagination ot the latter, who, figuratively speaking, looked up at her " as at a mountain." There was never anything of the school girl about Miss Evans, for even at that early age she had the manners and appearance of "a grave, staid woman; so much so that a stranger, happening to call one day, mistook this girl of thirteen for one ot the Misses Franklin, who were then middle-aged women. In this also there Is a certain resemblance to Maggie Tuillver. who, at the age of thirteen, is described as looking already like a woman. English composition, French and German, wero some of the studies to which much time and attention were devoted. Being greatly in advance of the other pupils in the knowledge of French, Miss Evans and Miss Jenkins were tafcen out of the general class and set to study It together, but though the two girls were thus associated in a closer fellowship, no real Intimacy apparently followed from it. The latter watched the future George Eliot with Intense interest, but always felt as If in the presence of a superior, though socially their positions were much on a par. This haunting sense of superiority precluded the growth of any closer friendship between the two fellow pupils. All the more startling was it to the admiring school-girl when one day, on using Marian Evans' German dictionary," she saw scribbled on its blank pago some verses, evidently original, expressing rather sentlmently a yearning for love and sympathy. Under this granite-like exterior, then, there was beating a heart that passionately craved tor human tenderness and companionship! A HOUSEKEEPER. About the age of 15 Marian Evans left the Misses Franklin, and soon afterward she had the misfortune of losing her mother, who died In her forty-ninth year. For several years after this Miss Evane and her father remained alone together at Griff House. He offered to get a housekeeper, as not the house only, but farm matters had to be looked after, and he was always tenderly considerate of '"the little wench," as he called her. But his daughter preferred taking the whole management of the place in her own hands, and she was as conscientious and diligent in the discharge of her domestic duties as in the prosection of the studies she carried on at the same time. One of her chiet beauties was in her large, finely shaped feminine hands?hands which she has Indeed /liic/trihail no * * vnmttVVViiOUV UI OCVCIttl UI 11^ heroines; but she once pointed out to a friend at Foleshill that one was broader across than the other, saying, with some pride, that it was due to the quality of butter and cheese she had made during her housekeeping davs at Griff. It will be remembered that this is a characteristic attributed to the exemplary Nancy Lammeter, whose person gave one the Idea of " perfect, unvarying neatness, as the body of a little bird," only her hands ''bearing the traces of butter-making, cheese-crushing, and even still coarser work." Common Seimo Gonpel Truth. From the New York Critic. Congress should take warning by the fate of the Lenox library, and not make Its literary treasures inaccessible to the public. The Lenox Is housed In a fine building; the Congressional library, on the other hand, Is well supplied with books, but has no home of Its own, and its books and manuscripts are hidden in damp, dark cellars. Congress seems disposed to increase its stores, and has set aside this year an extra appropriation of $20,000 for the purchase of the military papers, etc., of the Count de Rochambeau. and $8,000 tor the purchase of some important records and briefs belonging to the estate of the late Senator Carpenter. But of what avail Is this gathering together of rich material, if it Is only for burial? Books are not toads; they need llfrht, and air and human companionship; else they get grimy, ttieir covers takeon mildew, or their backs crack and their stitGhes break. pROMPT ACTION It NEEDED WHEN CRAMPED.

Mr. D. eeyv: * 'For many years I here Buffered, intensely at times, with whet is generally celled rheumatism. When first attacked X was confined to my bed and conld not walk a step. I oould not bear the weight of the bedclothes, so excruciating was the agony I endured. I always noticed that before these attacks came on my kidneys were affected; before there would le any pain In my limbs or any swelling of Joints i r limbs, the color of the secretions from the kidneys would be very dark and the odor strong and feverish. The last attack was very sever?, about five years ago, and I was confined to the bouse several weeks, and was unable to attend to business in three months. During the time I was confined at home and the time of my convalescence I employed four of the best doctors that I could obtain, but none of them gavo me permanent relief, for they did not go to work at the cause of the trouble. Having been acquainted with the proprietor of Hunt's Remedy a long tunc I w&8 induced by him to give it a trial, hoping that it might reach the seat of the disease; and after taking one bottle I found myselt very much improved, and after taking the second I was feeling better than I had aftex any previous attacks. During many months previous to tasing the Remedy my hands and fingers would be much swollen and stiff every morning; my lef 'side, in the region of stomach and spleen, was very lame and sensitive; at times I would be taken with severe cramps over the spleen, and be obliged to apply mustard or cayenne for temporary relief; I was very nervous nights and could net sleep; I was obliged to be very particular in my diet and my physical system was sadly demoralized. Since I have taken Hunt's Remedy systematically all these things have changed; I have no swollen bande or limbs, no rains or cramps in the side, can eat all kinds of food, sleep soundly and get thoroughly rested, and my kidneys are active and rerform their functions promptly, thus taking out of the system all the poisonous secretions which contaminate the whole system where the kidneys do not act efficiently, j My friends, what Hunt's Remedy has done for me it ! will do for all of you. I believe it to lie the only suro cure for ail diseases of the Kidneys, Liver and Urinary organs. Respectfully, E. R. DAWLEY, 8 454 Bread street."
