Ik* German University M*a At* raddtd For the Fight. My friend had vanished Into the dressing room, and *t first glance I entirely failed to recognize him In the padded monster that now staggered clumsily into the mom, supported on each side by his strand and sword bearer. The thick armor of leutber and wadding with which bo was bolstered entirely proU-cUnl his body and limbs. His nenk was rigidly incased in high, thick collar of silk and whipoord, and his eyes were protected by Iron goggles as large as small tcacups, from which a strap passed round the ears to be buckled at tho back of the bead. His Mwond wtis somewhat similarly equipped, and in addition wore a leather cap with a strong Iron peak. Tho other principal presently entered the room and took up his position at one sword'a length from Zimmerman. He whs closely followed by the umpire or unpartallscher. Tbia personage woa a ohrcnio medical atudent of ten years' standing?a mass of genial rotundity, with a bit, amorpboua fuoe in which featurca wx'tried a superfluity. He waa duly qualified for hla responsible position by an unlimited capacity for bbcr and tbe glorlona fact that be had nover passed an examination.

The swords ?long, nasty looking blades, sharp as ra tors and flexible (is riding switches?were carefully wiped with disinfecting lotion and handed to the combatants. Tbo seconds took up their position behind and to the left of their respective men, and gave the word of command In the following traditional form: "Aufdle Mensur blndct die Kllngenl" (Cross blades for the duel!) "Gebunden slndI" (Crossed tbey are!) "Los!" (Go!) The swords clasb together Id the pre* lfcnlnary stroke. Then ensues a brief bail* itorm of blows so rapid that the eye refuses to follow tbem and retains only a confused impression of flashing steel and flying parks. The head of each combatant seems to be enveloped In a halo of gleaming points.

People never gct> encouragement for doing the good Samaritan act in the interests of the public, as the man decided who offured to assist a distracted woman and ameliorate the sufferings of a lot of people on a su barbae car. The boy who bowls was in evidenoc, the ourlod darling of bit only own mother and the terror of everybody else, and be bad kept the car In a state of wild excitement and exhausted the patience of everybody, Including his doting parent. "Oh, if your father were only here!" she bad mid for the fiftieth tiiue as she tried vainly to restrain tbe bowling terror. At that ho stopped bowling long enough to beat tbe air with bis small shins, and tbe woman on the other aide of him remarked audibly that a cago was tbe proper place lor Htvagu uko mui. "Johnny, dear," asked bis mother, "won't you bo a good boy?" Roan and kicks (rani Master Johnny. "Ob, I wish your father wcro hero to glre you a good trouncing this very minute!" sbe walled as the struggled with him. Then it was that tbo philanthropist of the company asserted himself. He bad been trying in vain to read bis morning paper ever sinco he started from home. "Allow me, madam," ho said blandly. "I am a fntber myself, and 1 will bo happy to chastise your cherub in behalf of bis absent parent." "Oh, no, you won't; not if I know It!" said Johnny's mother, rising in her wrath liko a tigress.

And she hut off debate by going Into tbe next car and taking tbo sweet Infant with her.? Chicago Times-Herald. Tbe Orlfftn of Mr. Mad Mr*. Id earlier times tbo ordinary man waa limply William or John?that is to ?y, be bad only a Christian namu without any kind of "bandle" before it or surname after it, says the Philadelphia Reoord. Somo means of distinguishing one John nr Wiiiimn from Another John or William became necessary. Nicknames derived from a man's trade or bis dwelling place or from some personal peculiarity were tacked on to bis Christian name, and plain John became John Smith. As yet there were no "misters" In tbe land. Some John Smith accumulated mors wealth than tbe bulk of his fellows?became perhaps a landed proprietor or an employer of hired labor. Then be began to be called In tbe Norman-Trench of tbe day tbo "malstrs" of this p|n?t of of these workmen or of those. In time tbe "malstre," or "malster," as It soon became, got taoked on before bis name, and be booame Ma later Smith and bis wife was Mais tress Smith. Gradually the sense of possession was lost sight of, and tbe title was conferred upon any kind?by mere possession of wealth or holding some position of more or less consideration and Importance. , 2TI?* For Ntrrou Ptofl*. A party of Cambridge professors on one occasion undertook, for a scientific object, to penetrate into the depths of a Cornish mine. One of the number relates the following startling incident of bis visit: On his scent in the ordinary manner, by means of a buckct and with a miner for a fellow passenger, he perceived, as be thought, unmistakable symptoms of tbe frailty of the rope. "How often do you change your ropes, my good man?" he inquired when about half way from tbe bottom of the awful abyss. "We change them every three months, sir," replied tbe man in tbe bucket, "and we shall change this one tomorrow if we get up safe today, sir."?Pearson's Weekly.

( Her last words were wasted on empty air. c. Rllly's charming little bead had ' dropped low on her breast, and the * pretty hands had dropped limpid on * either fide. 6 She bad awooned away as quietly as a dove ainka to earth with a broken a wing. a Her faint was only of a moment's 1 duration ; ahe recovered almost before the other had perceived it. I Rut from her milk-white throat to < tbe soft riuga of yellow hair about her * brow, her lovely face was colorless aa the drifting snow. i And from under the long fringe of 1 darK Ittxiiw, ner nig gray eyes luuneo pat helically startled. 1 "Goodness, Kill, what on earth ailn you? You don't mean to pretend being ill just because you are expected to do a bit of work I hope ?" Horatia demanded sharply, with a frown of nascent suspicion. Rilla hardly saw the frown ; and scarcely heard the sharp insolent speech, nor did she attempt to utter a syllable. Bu? she breathed a long quivering high of relief as her tormentor, with a glance ?t the little onyx clock ou the mantel, turned hastily and walked out of the room. Thus left alone, the young girl look* ed very forlorn in the large bare sewing-room, as she sat there with her head bent low over her tank, and the low tears dropping one by one over her pule cheeks. But she was soon master < f her emotion; it was not until her task was flnitthed, and until she was safe in the seclusion of her own poor little chamber, that the power of repression failed her, and the pent up flood bunt forth beyond control. "He In here?my prince?my life's dear lord! Has he forgotten ? Or does he remember still ? Alas! for the happy days which have passed away evermore!" she murmured brokenly, with her lair head bowed upon the shabby little bed, beanie ' wbicb she bad thrown heraelf ou her knees. The long months seem to roll backwurd, and she was again the simple child whose sieeping heart had just 1 awakened lo the thrill aud sweetnet* . of !ovlng. lu those days Cleve Randolph seemed only to live and breathe for her ; 1 and to him she rendered all the worship and trust of her fresh young heart. The beautiful Jream was not of long duration. It was in f: .te autumn, when ! the last leaves *.eru falling and dying ] before the cruel front, that they met 1 one day at the country bouse of afriend whose gue*ls they both chanced to be at the same time. The flr?t spring blossoms were bud- ' ding when they passed out of eachj other's lives, und silence aud mystery \ ' teit'ed like a black and impenetrable . cloud between their divided lives. ltilla had uever beeu favored with wealth aud the blessings of parental ! InvH hml t>wii denied her. and she wait bereaved of both father and moth- ! er in her earliest infancy. I1 All her life she had lived in the family of an uncle, an honorable and { I generouM man, who had educated her, and lavished upon her every advant- I iHge and benefit his rather limited 1 ' mean* would |>ermit. < I It was with the hope of bettering 1 hi* fortune that he undertook the superintendence of a businetw house in 1 u far away foreign city. Hi? wife and , lt>ou accompanied him, but Hilla, mooti I y by her own desire, wan tonsigued o the care of the Darryla. Until a few days before her riepartire for her new home, Cleve Randolph tad sought ber society constantly, and vith a lovers eagerness. But Hiiddenly he came no more, nor lid he aend any explanation of his seeming neglect. They had parted last after a merry >arty, when he had walked back with ler to her own door. It was a walk which would remain ivid aud thrilling in her memory un* il her last heartbeat should be stilled orever. I he old moon, au opal crescent, wung I'm in the went. The big 1 vbite atari* glowed like aparka of livng (lame. The subtile amells and r ounda of spring were all about them. f Vud they loitered on their way, sileut ' villi excess of ecstacy; while the tony atreet, with its walls of brick tnd iron, was an encbauted paih hrough a wonderland of delight. . At the end of (bat rapturous walk, or the first time in all that happy irinter, he drew her cloae within bis irma, and kixsed her responsive lips. "My own, my best and dearest," he 1 rhi>-pered. And to Rilla, the most solemn be- ] rothal vowa could not have been . nore sacred than that kl*s. Hhe be- ( leved that it had aealed them to each >ther for all time. And from that hour she had never wd aim idu never nearu irom nim. , Now, as she knelt there weeping in , he shabby little room, the memory of , hat kiss shamed her to the soul. h Of course he bad never really cared or her! Very likely he had been ( tmused by her simplicity in believiug bat he w*s aerious in his seeming ? mrtiality forber! 1 Ob, how could she meet him again i ind endure the agouy of it ? Would le notice how changed she was? iow mean ana shabby were the garments which usea to be so fastidiously ilegant ? The paio of meeting him might be ess acute if she could only make berelf beautiful and dainty iu hi* sight? ' A girl could compel a man to espect and admire her, even if he loes not love her ! one wonuereu at nerseir mat uer nind should recur to that trifling mater of self adorn men t when ber heart ran so tortured, ber life's desolation so nmplete and so bitterly realized. Hhe was learning, poor child, that t is trifles, that it in the most frivolous soucerns of the world, which sooieimes lure us from oar sorrow, and so teep the heart from breaking. "He is Horatia's lover now, and I uppoee I cannot avoid him entirely, tud I cannot let him see me looking oo shabby," she said to herself forornly, as she at length opened the 1 loor to her little closet which contain- 1 id her depleted wardrobe. ''But my 1 ilaok Milk itown is nice yet, and per laps I can evolve an Easter bonnet ' tutofmyown ingenuity and plenty ?f excellent odds and ends. My taste | n such matters isn't bad, If J do ?ay t myself." A fragment of rich black velvet, a crap of palest pink satin, and a luantity of expensive black lace, com>ose the materials from which she i >roduced the uigently needed bonnet But It waa a very creditable wore, i mil Rilla viewed it with pardonable atinfaction. "Only I must have an aigrette, or ometblng of the *ort," she thought >erplexedJy, "and I have nothing un- ' am I use that silver butterfly. It was her one and only gift from ?leve Randolph. ! "But if he does not love, if be never lared for me, as I muftt believe, he has orgolten all about it, and it isn't an xpeusive article," was the thought vhicb quieted her delicate scruples ibout using It so conspicuously. The ornament wan of filagree silver, 1 et with bload red Bohemian garnets, ' md much larger than the butterfly's 1 latural nize.

Ulugi "I dare say you would be anxious 'Dough to go if nobody wanted you," Horatia grumbled. "But you are to sarry my wrap and umbrella, and that ' lettles your freak of staying at home." Horatia bad never ventured before o demand a maid's service of her roung relative, aud for an instant Villa's great, limpid gray eyes flashed ire. But after all, what did it matter? What did anything matter since love iad failed her? She stilled the indignant refusal on ler lips. And although she sighed a ittle rebelllously, she picked up the articles and theu followed her cousin from the house. "I expect Cleve, the dear fellow, will ivertake me. One of his most deightful attentions was bis fashion of neetitig me on the way, and walking vilb nie to cburcb," said Horatia, tvho could recall a single event of the tind. On this occasion she did not get a tlimpse of the young man until after he services, and tlieu be showed no nclination to approach ber, nor any tign that he was aware of ber exlslence. He stood a little apart, bis face itrangely pale, and his blue eyes llxed j|ion a tall beautiful girl, wbo seemed curiously eager to reach the street, and wore an Kaster bonnet ornamented with a silver butterfly. It was u|>on the ornament, in fact :bat the strange and iMuslonately inent i<M>k was directed, for the girl's tare was turned from bim. Suddenly be started forward with Impatient strides, his eyes riveted on the sparkling tdlver buttterfly as if he reared that it might lift its gem set wings and flv away. He overtook Uilla just as she turned [he ueare?t corner. "Oh, Illlla ! ob, love ! it is you ! I feared I might be mistaken. I had no more hopes of meeting you in this life!" he exclaimed in a low voice vibrating with emotiou. "People drift apart so easily." said Uilla, trying to speaking with cool aiucern, althouuh she was half < itrungled by her riotious heart-beats. "You haven't changed toward me' 1 tweetheart ?" he inquired doubtfully. 'Ah, if you knew how uuhappy I liave been, trying to fludmy lost one." Then he explained how he was sum' tnoned away just before the change in ] tier home was effected, bow be was Jetained from mouth to month, and > lie came nacK ai lasi to untcover sue wan gone, no one Heerned to know whither. "1 wrote until I wan discouraged by getting no lettem from you," he concluded. "But I had not ended my search. I should have started again i to-morrow had I not found you here.

Some of these old fellows still insist that machine made flics are not and never eaa be as good as the files which are cut by band. and they carry this prejudice to sack an \ extent that they declare tbsy cannot do good work with the machine cot files. 1J L.

Files, and many of them, are still cut by hand, and a file cotter Is probably the most expert user of a ham* mer and cold chisel in the Industrial world. Files and easpe are made of steel which varies from the ''blistered" steel for the poorer quality of files to the best crudbH or "cast cast" steel, for the higher grades. The blanks an prepared for the file cottar by forging the "tang;" or tapczed point for the handle, and shaping the steel to *t. the proper form tinder a die or press. The blanks are thoroughly annealed or softened, and are perfectly clean and free tern scale when laid on the bench of the workman who cuts the teeth. file cutter generally works on the same kind eC a "cut" year in and year out. This gives him a mechanical perfection which cannot be secured in any other _. J war. and It is said that a workman's band becomes to accustomed to the spooIng that ?m be to beeome blind bo ooold cat jaxt as welL Files are made of many forms to fait the great variety at work wblob they an called a poo to do, bat tbe "cots" wblob give coarseness and flneo? to file* atn 7 comparatively few.

When a foes, or one or mora edges am a > Hie, is left onset, It is esid to be "safe." No matter what tbe form of tbe flle la, whether flat, square, round, half round, rat tall, three square or knife edged, tbe catting is done tbe soma way. short, light, steel oold chisel, with a brand, straight rattlog edge, is used. The baa* ><s mer Is a curious looking affair, for II if curved somewhat, and tbe handle tato eertcd well toward tbe smaller end. 7M hammer weighs from one to six pounds. ' In striking tbe workman gives a peculiar polling blow which raises the "bar" and gives tbe particular oat ohsrsotartarte of flies, and it was this cot that far nearly 800 rears prevented inventors from Assign* log machinery which woold eat a flls equal to the band cat article. Tbe workman sits on a low baoah which oomes out from a long wide baooh. Baton him Is bis anvil, usually a atone block or a slab of Iran. The blanks an hdd la place by straps which pass over tbe tang and point, and then farm a loop or sllgf under tbe anvlL Tbe workman puta his foot In tbe loop, and thus holds tbe blank secure while he Is cutting li. He holds tbe sblsel between the flngiwaad thumb of tbo loft hand, and after eaob cut movaa tbe blank slightly for tbe nest cafe. He doae this by lifting the chisel over tbe bar and then pressing the point of tbe tool againal tbe raised edge jaafe out, at tbe aame time loosening the strap so that tbe blank oaka be moved. In cutting small Ales or smooth or dead smooth flies the bammer blows, movement of tbe chlael, loosening tbe straps, moving tbe blank, tightening tbe strap and striking tbe next blow are done ao rapidly that ' 1- Tfia AtmA mcjr asxj u?uij ? ..... eat is made flrst, and then the stoond eat la made. In making the second eat the workman itrlkea the eblaal with lees foroe, thai making a shallower eat. If the llle la to be eat oa the other sldet the eal side Is laid apon a plate of lead or pewtar to protect the catting edges. If the file la other than a flat shape, the lead or pewtet is grooved or hollowed oat to lit the shape. After catting, the fl lee are hardened, for the annealing makes the steel so'soft that the Am aseof theflle would bend the oatting edges. Some flies are curved before being tempered. This la done bjr heating the cat flies to a doll red and bending them to the required carve over a wooden block with a wooden mallet. The flies to be hardened an first covered with a mixturo of salt and some sort of oarbonaceoaa substance. This covering servee a twofold purpose?It prevents the teeth from oxidation and from losing the carbon In the aoi and h* fniinff indicates the ptopv beat for tempering. It also terras to prevent cracking when the file 1* suddenly plunged into tho cooling llqaid which gives the file the temper. Naturally a heated file suddenly cooled will warp mors or less aooording to Its form. This Is prevented by giving the flie ' set" In the other direction before it is tempered, so that the tendency to warp actually straightens the file. When the steel has reached the proper heat, the file Is lifted from the fire by the tang and suddenly Immersed in cold water, and before it has grown cold it is withdrawn and pot in a screw clamp, which keeps it from curving or bonding. The tang is then softened by sticking It In mcltod lead, aid then the file is cleaned, dried and oiled.?Chicago Keoord. Wood Gas.
