In the past cental j the University of Heidelburg differed but little from that of the present day, save in point of num bers ; the same mixture of ranks and classes and the same swaggering, half military looking personages, pipe in mouth, were then, as now, to be seen at all times parading the principal streets. The student at a German university is a strange being, an odd compound of duelling, smoking, billard-playing, love- making, and study; bat still there are some whose object is study alone, who lead a quiet, regular life, and pass through their terms unoticed, save by their in.; I V. A-Y > » JUOV such an one was Karl Leibetz. He lodged at the house of a widow lady, who had hitherto declined receiv ing any of the students, her reasons being two-fold; first, she had where withal to make her yearly expenses meet without much straining—and secondly, her care and solicitude for the welfare of the pretty Adeline,, her only daugh ter, clearly pointed out to her that a gay and ratt’ing student would ill accord with her arrangements. Her fccruples were, however, removed by a note from Mr. East bans, the prin cipal banker, requesting to know wheth er she would have any obj notion to receive atf inmate a young man whose con nections were of the highest reopecta- bility, and for whom he would enter into any guarantee she might desire. The recommendation of the worthy banker was not to be refused, and a reply in the affirmative, stating how happy Madame Hartman would feel in receiving any fnend of Mr. Eeisthaus, was immediately sent, and in due course Mr. Karl Leibetz arrived. In a short time Madame Hartman began to find that Mr. Karl was a re markably pleasant young man; he was so quiet, that she could scarcely believe she had received any addition in her household; there was no smoking from morn till night, no bottles of beer strew ed about the rooms iu all directions, and no carousing all night with his fellow- students ; in fact, she began to consider him more as a friendly guest than a lodger. On his first arrival, tl e pretty Adeline, whose expectations and curiosity had been excited in the highest degree, had expressed herself rather disappointed ; there was a chilling hanteur about him which she could not at all understand; but in a short time this wore away, and Adeline, began partly to concide with her mother’s opinion, in thinking him very agreeable, and partly to go rather further than Madame Hartman had done, finding him a very handsome young man. I believe it to bo a general rule with al narrators of “ Historiettes,” never to allow a young couple to become domic iled under tho same roof without engen dering the tender passion, and 1 mean shortly, in a work of fiction, boldly to strike out a new reading for myself but at the present time, as I have to do with stubborn facts, I must be content to jog on in the old-fashioned way, and admit that there was some truth in tne surmises of an attachment existing be tween Mr. Karl and the pretty Adeline and perhaps it was not so wonderfu that such should be the case—all things considered—for Adeline was, in honest truth, a remarkably pretty girl, with a something so piquante and lively abou; her, that you were lured away by her fascinations, ere you had time altogether to moke up your mind that you v. ere doing anything more than considering her as a very agreeable sort of a person As for Air. Karl, I can’t, aa an honest historian, quite agree with Adeline, in saying he was very handsome. He was quiet in his maimers, elegant in his appearance, and particularly at tentive as to the make and arrangement of his dress. It was not until some time had elaps ed that Mr. Karl, finding himself ex tremely annoyed by the attentions of a provokingly handsome youth toward Mam’selle Adeline, began to question himself as to why he felt so much irri tated ; and then it occurred to him in the strongest manner possible, suddenly as it were, without any mental train of reasoning, that he was in iove. If Karl, or even the pretty Adeline, had been slow in discovering the growth of their affections, Madame Hartman had been somewhat quicker; she had had experience in these matters, and could understand the very little inci dents, which, unheeded by the parties themselves, speak volumes to a careful aud interested observer; and, as a wise and prudent motaer ought to do, she deemed it right, before matters went too far, to know something more about Mr. Karl Leibetz; it was true Mr. Reisthaus had stated lii-4 family to be of the high est respectability, and that he was instructed to honor his drafts to any amount—all that might be very well, as far as their orignal position was con cerned, but something more she thought ought to be known, as matters seemed to be taking a different turn Bo one day, finding the opportunity of making up some accounts with Mr. Reisthaus to be very convenient, she stated at once what were her suspicions, and begged to know who and what the elder Mr. Leibetz might be. The worthy banker seemed somewhat posed at such a downright question, for he stared at madame through his spec tacles as if she had been a newly-discov ered error in his ledges, but the scrutiny was unsatisfack: oy, for the lady had screw r ed up her countenance in the most determined manner; and, like Brutus, she paused for a reply. “This is an awkward business, mar dame,’* rejoined the banker. “An awkward business!’' responded the lady in amp vise. “Very. “I really don’t understand you, Mr, Reisthaus.” “I am sorry for it, madame; but to oYrUnm ’* S “It is a pity your daughter should ove Mr. Karl, and it is a pity that Mr. ' lari should be enamored of the young ady, because there cau be no marriage in the case.” What,” screamed the astonished mother, “not marry my daughter!” “Perfectly out of the question.’’ “Is he married already?” “Certainly not.” “Then what is there to prevent him?” “He has a father.” “Doubtless.” “And his father is ” “What?” “Why, madame, I am not axaetly at iberty to explain; but as a friend to yourself and family, believe me when I say it is quite impossible that a mar riage can, under any circumstances, take plaee; therefore I wonld advise you, as soon as possible, to put s stop to this courting. The banker looked serious, and madame knew him so well for a matter- of-fact personage, that she determined on following his advice; therefore, on her return home, without much circum locution, she stated her mind pretty freely. Mr. Karl hummed and ha’d like a man who had a great to say; but did not know exactly how to explain himself; but madame cut the matter extremely short, by stating that, as a mother, anxious for the welfare and peace of mind of her daughter, she was desirous of preventing her affections being ir revocably fixed where the object of them was altogether beyond her reach, and if perfectly agreeable to Mr. Karl Leibetz, his absence alone would bring about so desirable an object. the next in rotation, she felt a passing tremor of the moment, but the gracious bow of the sovereign instantly reassured her, and she raised her eyes until they met those of the king, when to her no small surprise and astonishment, she recognized Mr. Karl Leibetz; it ap peared the recognition was mutual, but the king, looking around, to prevent any breach of court etiquette, she merely bowed and passed on. What were the precise results of this eolaircissement, I know not bnt the worthy Mr. Reiter was often heard to congratulate himself on the lucky chance which had led him to carry on his busi ness at Munich, since he had prospered even beyond his most sanguine hopes. A Flea for Eons Hair. A studen t on hair writes; whether the hair should be cut at all I never could satisfy myself. As a a physiological prac tice. I seriously doubt the propriety. Every cutting is a wounding, and there is some sort of bleedisg in consequence, and waste of vital force, 1 think it will be found that long lived persons most frequently wear the hair long. The cutting of the hair stimulates to a new growth to supply the waste. Thus the energy required to maintain the vigor of the body, is drawn off to make good the wanton destruction, It is said. I know, that after the hair has grown to a certain length, it loses its vitality at the extremity and splits or “brooms up.” Whether this would be the case, if the hair should never be cut, I would like to know. When it is cut a fluid excludes, and forms a cicatrix at each wounded extremity, indicating that there has been injury. Women and priests have generally worn long flair. I never could ’uiagiue why this distinction was made. The ancient priest was very often unsexed or devoted to a vow of celibacy, but I cannot imagine whether that had anything to do with it. Kings wore their hair long iu imitation of Samson, and the golden Sun-God, Mithras I suspect from this, that the first men shorn were slaves and laborers: that free men wore tbeir hair upmutilated, as the crown of perfect manhood and manliness If this be correct, the new era of freedom, wh-m it over shal dawn, will be charac terized by men unshorn as well as women unperverled, 1 wish that our science and our civiliza tion had better devices for preserving the integrity of the hair. Baldness is a defon- mity and premature whiteness a defect. If the head was in health and the body in proper vigor, 1 am confident that this would not be. I am apprehensive that our dietetic haoits occasion the bleaching of the hair, tho st ff, arsenic-prepared hat is responsible for much of the beidoeer, Our hats aro unhealthy from the tricks of the hatters. 1 suppose there are other causes, however, Heredity has its influ ence. Certain aiseases wither the hair at its roots, others lower the vitality of the skin, and so depilate the body. 1 acknowledge that the shingled head disgusts me. It cannot be wholesome. The most sensitive part of the head is at the back, where the reck joins. This place exposed to unusual cold or heat, is liable to receive aj^, injury that will be permanent, it not fatal, in a short period. The whole head wants protection, and the hair affords this as no other protection can. Men have beards because they need tnem. and it is wicked to cut them off. No growth or part of the body is superflu ous, and we ought, as candidates for healtn and long life, to preserve ourselves from violence or mutilation. Integrity is the true manly standard. Dangerous Amerluan Fortunes. Mr. Karl looked very angry, and tried to expostulate; but madame re mained firm, and the result was his departure from Heidelburg on the fol lowing day. The pretty Adeline pined for some time for the loss of her companion, but aa time wore on, and as neither he nor tidings of him ever reached her after ward, she gradually began to listen to the addresses of a young merchant, named Reiter; and though he wantec the grace, ease, and dignity of Mr, Karl, yet the match was so desirable, and the young man so agreeable, that she at length consisted to become Ma dame Reiter. Time wore away, and some few years passed on, Madame Reiter having fol lowed the prosperous fortunes of her husband, who had finally settled at Munich; as they were but recently ar rived, with the intention of permanently residing at the Bavarian court, it was necessary that they should be presented. The important day being arrived, found Madame Reiter arrayed in all the splendor of a court dress, and plumes “en suite,'’ and looking more blooming and handsome than ever; and the admiration of the crowd of courtiers waiting their tarn for presentation. A mostly Dome. An EngliEh writer says there is evidence forthcoming from America that fortunes may be accumnlated on a scale of which Englishmen have little conception, and that when they have been accumulated their increase may be sought from a motive which is never quits satiated, the thirst for direct and indirect influence on affairs. Europeans, even those who study it, un derrate American fortunes; first, because they think the rich must spend largely; and secondly, because they assume what is quite false—that great wealth must be invested at about four per cent. . it may, as American example shows, be invested by millionaires, wso do not care for rest in work which yields from three times to ten times that rate. Now, the governing financial fact abou* tUc Vanderbilt rail ways is that they ara managed to yield, and do yield, a steady 10 per cent.; and Mr. Vanderbilt ought, therefore, to be is possession of an income ot £2,000,000 a year. It is not, probably, so much, be cause part of his fortune must have been estimated for probate duty on shares above par; but, taking it at only £1,600,000, Mr. V anderbilt, who does not spend un- productively the interest of his dividends, might easily at seventy own £50,000,000, yielding an average of 8 per cent. None of his known rivals, perhaps, could do this; but their sons might, and it is quite on the cards that in 1920 the American Union may possess a dozen capitalists each with £50,000,000 solidly invested, yielding incomes of from £3,000,000 to £4,000,000 a year. Be it observed, we do not include any fresh making of money by tne million aires, though they make it every day; or any calculation about compound inter est, though there is such a force in move menl in iheir favor. We assume only that they live on the interest of their in terest—In Mr. Vanderbilt's case £#0,000 a year—and invest the remainder in the new railroads, telegraphs, and eteam lines which they construct or regulate. The tempta tion so to accumulate, in a country where lazy wealth brings so little enjoyment, while working wealth brings power, status and celebrity is great, and the draw backs to a man not afraid of occasions; threats, are not mmy. Railway mana gers are easily found, other stockholders take much work off the millionaires’ hands, and as against ordinary accident, so vast an investment forms its own best insurance. If an Englishman could own 51 per cent, of the Midland A Great Northern, and appoint any director he pleased, his wealth would be fairly secure; much more secure than if he owned a wheat growing county in East Anglia, Is the existence of a fortune of this kind in the hands of a man whose business in life is the acquisition of power, safe for the communityt We cannot but tee) a doubt of it. WbM To Eat And Drink Whan Trie}cling An Antuo^c urofarj. Father Sorin, Professor Gregori. the well-known artist, and Architect Ed- brooke are perlecting anangements for a new and splendid feature at Notre Dame University, South Bend, Indiana, namely, the erection of the dome over the main building, which, it is said, will 30 the finest thing of the kind in this country, the dome of the Capitol at Washington alone excepted. When completed the dome at Notre Dame will be 200 feet high and the statue sur mounting it will be illuminated at night by as ellipse of electric jets. The in terior will be painted in the highest style of art, of which he is master, by Professor Gregori. The arch of the cupola will be adorned with thirty-six allegorical paintings, representing the arts and sciences, among others philo sophy, astronomy, law, physics, theo logy, agriculture, music, poetry, the mechanic arts, etc. The dome was designed in 1879 by Mr. W. J. Edbrooke, of Chicago, in his plan of the college buildings. It is to be a strong and massive structure of iron, gilt on the outside, similar to that of the Hotel des Invalides, of Paris, It will cost from $25,000 to $80,000. The foundations were laid deep and strong, when the new college bmlding was erected, and the massive structure of brick on which the dome is to rest was raised to a height of seventy-five feet. Sidewalk CleamuK In Germany. It is now more than thirty years since Sir Henry Layard, passing through oue of the doorways ot the partially explored pal ace iu the mound ot Kouvunjik, guarded by sculptured fish gods, stood for the first time in the double chambers containing a large portion of the immense library col lected by Assurbannipsl, King of Nineveh. Tue floors, to the depth of a foot or more, were covered with thousands of tablets, all engraved with cuneiform writing:many in perfect condition, but the majority bro ken into several fragments, frequently widely separated and portions apparently sometimes missing altogether. These tab lets were of various siz.s, rang ng from one inch square to about n ne by six inch es, by far ihe larger portion alike iu shape something similar to a pin cuahion, or dog biscuit, but occasionally resembling a cyl iuder or small barrel. The lesser ones contained, perhaps, only two or three lines of characters; the larger sometimes nearly one hundred. From the manner in which they were heaped together and broken, aud the fact that many have been found buried in neighboring parts of the debris, it is evident tnat these chambers were not the original depository of the tablets, but that the library must have been placed in some upper story of the edifice of which they formed a part. Then, upm. the de struction ot the building, luey were precip itated into the position in which the ex plorer found them. bince that time, with bulslight intermis sions, this treasure house of a forgotten past nas been turned over aud over again and again, notably in the expeditions of ihe late Mr. George Smith, <thd still the supply of it* cuueif rin literature is not exhausted. Until last year this discovery remained unique; but the perseveraoce of the British Muteum authorities and the pa ie Jt labor of Mr. Rassam were then rt warded by the exhumation of what is ap parently the lify aty chamber of the temple or palace at Sippara, with all ita If, 000 tablets, resting undisturbed arranged in their positions on the shelves, just as placed in order by the librarian twenty- fire centuries ago. The couteuts of the library, so far as they have yet been deci phered, relate to commercial transactions. Some riders choose to take no regular meals at all during their journey, pre ferring to carry with them some plain and simple food and dnnk, like a meat biscuit and a bottle of cold tea or milk, and to partake of a little very frequent ly as they go along not even oaring to diemoont for the partaking of the re freshment. We understand that this plan answers very well indeed when a long distance has to be made and there is little or no time for rest. It is better, nevertheless, to dismount take a light meal of mixed food, rest for a good long timo so let digestion nave full awing, and then on again, gently at first, brisk* ly afterward. Such a plan gives good digestion of the food, quick and excel lent distribution of it over the body for nutritive purposes, and a healthy and sharp appitite for the meal that is next to oome. The diet itself can scarcely be too simpie. Animal food should be fresh, not salted, and well cooked; light animal foods like fish and fowl and mut ton are yery good to work on; eggs aud milk are very good. A couple of eggs beaten well up in a oup, mixed with hot water, sweetened moderately with sugar, and treated with a small quantity of mi Ik so as to make from half a pint to three-quarters of a pint, is with a little biscuit, an excellent sustaining meal for those to whom eggs are easily digestible. To those who can digest it oatmeal porridge is very good to break fast on; aud to all who can digest milk, milk is lightly thickened with wheat meal is most snbstaining. Bread should be taken in moderate quantity, aud fresh vegetables and fresh fruit are al ways in character when not taken i* excess. Some fruits which for a mo ment seem extremely refreshing while on the travel become a cause of thirst if the day is very warm. I notice this particulary in regard to cranages, the most tempting perhaps and the most easily obtained of all fruits. Of drinking during tricycle exercise I must speak with some care. It is not very difficult to learn trioyole without desire for too much driuk of any kind. But if the beginner does not learn to breathe through the nose, if he ac. quire the habit of breathing through tne month, he is sure to acquire also the desire to take liquids ux too treely. He will become so dry in ihe mouth he will feel he cannot get on unless be has something to quench Lis thirst, and that is an evil habit even though the drink be as innocent as the purest water itself. The first point, therefore, is to drink as little as possible; to drink as much as will fill up the loss that is made by evoporatiug of the water from the body and not any more. What the character of the drink shall be is not very diffioult to answer, and what it should not be is answered with ess diffionlty, for certainly of all things again it should not be an alooholio stim ulant On this last named point we who are advocates for total abstinence from all alooholio beverages have se cured, beyond any mistake, a flue score rum tricycling experiences. Those who are to some degree in opposition tc ns on the general question, I mean those wno still hold that alooholio drinks are in their right place as luxuries and should not be denied as luxuries, are with ns if they are practised tricyolists, iu expressing that alcoholic stimulation is fatal to good, sure, and sustained work. FOOD FOR THOUGH1. The Writ Wat Enforaad. The focal law requires of Zeitz, in Germany, to clear the side walk lu front of his residence “before the break of day.” After three trials the Court of Revision nas just decided that a man who was accused of neglect mg that duty on the •19’h day of last January must pay the fine imposed for such dereliction. It was admitted that the sidewalk was not cleaned until 7 45 iu tne morning, and the question to be decided was whether or not day haa broken at that hour. The case first came before a Police Magistrate, who de cided that the day began with tne rising o! the sun, and as the sun had not risen at the hour named no fine was due. On appeal, a higher Court reversed the judg ment, declaring that the day begins with the twilight (Dsmmerung.) The Court of Revision affirmed the second judg ment, but corrected the definition ot day tfreak, maintaining that the day begins not with the twilight (Dammerung), but with actual daylight (Tageshellc), which is followed by the customary traffic and business o' the day. Some time ago Bishop Minkwitz, well-known freethinker of Little Rock, furnished lumber for the erection of negro church. Somehow the brothers neglected to pay Bishop Minkwitz, and . last Sunday the old man went to the every citizen churcn, a place he rarely visits, and took a seat among the ardent brethren. Du ring the sermon the minister said: “This is the Lord’s house, and we should all be thankful for the privilege of sitting m the house of the Lord.” “Hold onl exclaimed Minkwitz; ‘‘this is not the Lord's house. This is my house. When you pay me for the material of which mis house is constructed you may call it the i/vd’s house, bnt until you do pay me you must refer to this as the house of Minkwiiz.” It is said that the old man has secured a writ by which he can by law compel the,preacher to refer to the church as the house of Minkwitz, and that he intends to be present at every meeting and see that the provis ions of the wnt are enforced.

We think our civilization is near its meridian, but we ate yet only at the cockcrowing aud the morning. Be independent as far as man can be if you would honor yourself: or be hon ored by others, or be happy. You must have confidence in your abilities to serve the public, if you de sire to contribute to their wants.

Pleasure may be aptly oompa*ed to many great books, which increase in real value in the proportion they are abridged. There is very little that we do in the way of helping our neighbors that dois not oonae back in blessings on our selves. We live in progressive times. Holmes said only ten years ago. “Put no‘, your trust iu money, but your money iu trust,” but we have learned that it is not safe to do even that. Every duty well done adds to the moral aud spiritual stature. Each op portunity eagerly grasped and used is tne key to larger privileges. The next thing to excellence is to love excellence; and to love its opposite ia to be its opposite. To hate excel lence is to be at its opposite pule. As in nature things move more vio lently to their place, and calmly in their place, so virtue iu ambition is violent; in authority, settled and calm. To express no more than is really meant is bhe of the first steps towards correct speech, just as careful pruni.ig is as important to the vine as a rich soil. No man is so foolish but he may give another good counsel sometimes, and no man is so wi^e hut he may err if he wi|l take no other’s counsel but his own. The history of every discovery, oi every enterprise, of benevolence, of every reform, is the history uf toil and watching throngh long discourage ments. Simple-minded John Wesley, when preaching against riohee said, “To ride in a coach here and to get to heaven hereafter” is almost too muon tor any man to ask A fear that present joys are “too good to last,” and that a sadder day is coming, is hardly lees common, and not a whit more excusable, than the thought that the former days were better ihui these.
