'After writing for juvenilo lniiKitzinurt

wiwn't unongh to Iw funny, mul I con
ceived thu idea that while miiiiiulri were
successful, children could never forget
that my stories nlKUit them were fithleu.
ThiH feeling interferon with the lovo
children can luivo for tho possible."
So ho bethought himself of the Brown
ies, being very careful to llnd out ex
actly what they are. "I took tho defini
tion from tho 'Encyclopedia Britmiuicn,'
nnd hero it is in the front of thu Brownie
books," said Mr. Cox, opening one mid
quoting from it. "I found they were all
milieu, delighting in harmless pranks
and helpful tasks, and that they never
hold conversations with iieop.e. I add
ed, for tho sako of more action, that
whatever task they begin they must (In

Htrlko one lio loses his mystic power."
Another of his ideas was to put a
childish face on each ligure. "Children
study every faco separately," says tho
author, "and know them individually.
That is a curious point. I have never
used a naiiio for a single Brownie, but
each has lioon named by his character
and is known individually. There aro
tho Indian, thu dude, Uncle Sam, Dutch
man, Eskimo, Scotchman, Irishman,
Turk, student, policeman, sailor and
many inoro thirty in all."
Mr. Cox gets letters every day from
children who write alwut tho Brownies
and want his autograph. He answers
every tine, though it is getting to be a
task now. "I can imagine just how
pleaded they aro when thoy tear open
tho envelope and find what they want,"
said thu kindly man, with a smile. A
twinkle is almost always to 1k heen in
his eyes, which aro blue and full of fun.
Tho owner of the eyes 1ms no children,
but keeps bachelor's hall in a suite of
rooms in New York city. Ho is tall and
thin, witli light hair, a mustache mul a
faco that looks us if its owner spent

Brownies deserve a pleasant home,"
says Mr. Cox, and they have it, as every
visitor will testify. A ghihs of wild
flowers is on the bookcase. Several of
tho pictures are largo engravings of the
Brownies, mid hanging hero and there
are renl Brownlo ligures mado by ad
mirers of tho little men. One group
was constructed by an Invalid lady,
who wrote that she was a year iu ier

"Tell him to wall until 1 sen If there Is

The girl lininled the note lo her iuIsIiykk

The note was from Mr. Illank. It ran

It was at the time that Albert Sidney
Johnston was In command at Howling
Green, Ky., and General Hardee was or
dered with his command to that place
from Columbus, Ky. At that time the
bridge over thu Tennessee river at Dan
ville, Teiiu., had not been completed, mid
the general and his command had to be
ferried over the river to cars oil thu oppo
site side.
When General Hardee had crossed the
river supposing, of course, that a special
car had boon provided for himself and his
military staff ho accosted a hrakemau
belonging to tho train with thu question:
"Where shall I and my stun gof"
Thu hrakemau, having no Idea who the
general wits, or of what ills staff consisted,
after surveying him and his sword thor
oughly and somewhat contemptuously, re

As Bertram Calloway uttered these

"that when we were finally settled down

Half an hour later there might have
iieen seen walking swiftly through the al
most deserted streets of thu great metrop

to himself as hu' paused underneath a

object that ho held ill his hand. "It's all

I have often wondered whero M. Ilen
rion, the French savant, got his data for
the curious speculations he gives as to the
height and other proportions of Adam and
Eve. Iu his remarkable work, "Thu l)e
generation of the Human ltncc," published
In 1718, the learned academician gravely in
forms his readers that Adam was PJJ1 feel
mid U Inches Iu height, whilu his disobedi
ent cousoit was hut a paltry 118 feet from
the hole of the foot to the crown of the
head."
Of course all who have read very exten
slvelyof Talniuille literature or oven liar
lug-Gould's "Legends of the Patriarch
Piophots" remember tho wonderful sto
lies told of how Adam was made; of his
gigantic si, o, and how, after the fall, his
st at II ru was ledllced suveral miles hy the
ofTciidctt God himself. The Talmud has
this to say of Adam's height: "He was so
tall that hustood with feet on earth and
head in heaven until after God pressed
him down at the time of the fall." Habhl
.Hindu says that when he lay on the earth
"his body couiidetely covered It."
Another Talniuille story says: "To Judge
how long he was, understand that Ids body
stretched from ouo end of the earth to the
other, and it takes a man ri(H years to walk
that distance. The angels were awed with
wonder when 'hey saw that gigantic hu
man being and bowed hclotv him, crying,
'Holy, holy, holy.' Then God reduced his
sl.o by cutting olT great chunks of llesh."
These are all absurd legendary stories of
course; but where did llenrion get his lb
ures for the ll-foot calculation mentioned

The wormllke snakes are called burrow

head, rounded or pointed Iu front, mid a
short hut strong tail. They are incased Iu

which are of small sl.o on thu belly as well
