In the past century the University of Heidelburg differed but little from that; of the present, tay, save in point of inim bers ; the same mixture of ranks and claisses and the same swaggering, half military looking personages, pipe in mouth, wero 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, smuoking, 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 inmedinte class-fell ws ; and just 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 ; fir.t, she had where withal to make her yearly expenses meet without much straining-and secondly, her caro and solicitudo for the welfare of the pretty Adeline,, her only daugh tor, clearly pointed out to her that a gay and rattling student would ill accord with her arrangements. Her kerupka were, however, removed by a note from Mr. Ransthaus, the prin oi)al banker, requesting to know whoth or she would have any objection toreceive ad inmate a young man whose con netions were nf thn N'iheet rePspcta bility, and for whom he would enter into any guarantee she might desire. The reconamendation of the worthy banker was not to ho refused, and a reply in the aflirntative, stating how happy Madam.o Ilartmau would feel in receiving any friend of Mr. Reisthaus, was immehttely sent, and in clue course Mfr. Karl Laeibet z arrived. In a short time Madame Hartman began to find that Mr. Karl was a re tmarkably p!easant young man; he was no quiet, that she coukt searcely believe she had received any addition in her household ; there was no smokhng from morn till night, no bottles of beer streow ed about the rooms in all directions, and no carousing all night with his fellow st~udents ; in fact, she hog~an to consider him more as a friendly guest than a lodger. On his first arrival, LI: e prett~y Adeline, wvhose exptetationsi and curiosity had been excited in the highest dlegree, had oxpressedl herself rather disappointed; there was a chilling hau tour about him wvhieli she could not at all understand; bunt in a short time this wore away, and Adeline, began pasrtly to coneide with her mother's opinion, in thinking him very agreeable, and partly to go rather further thanu Madame Hartman had done, linding him a very handsome yotung I bievo it to be a general rule with all narrators of "iHistoriottes," never to allow a young couple to become domic iled tunder the same roof wvithout ongen dtering the tender passion, and 1 in) shoertly, in a work of fiction, boldly to striko out a now reading for myself; but at the prestent time, as I have to do with stubborni facts, I must be content to jog ont in the oldl-fashionied way, and admit, that there was sonmc truth in the suirmises of an attachment existing be. tween Mr. Karl and the pretty Adolino; and per'haps it wvas not so wonderful I hat such shotld 1)0 the case-all things constideredl-for Adeline wvas, in honest truth, a remarkably pretty girl, with a s.>mothting so piquante and lively about her, that you were lured awvay by her fascinations, ore you had time altogether to mnake ill your mmad that you were doing anything more than considering her as a very agreeable sort of a person. As for Mre. Karl. T can't, na an 1,nnat historian, quite agree with Adeline, i saying he was very handsome. He was quiet in his manners, elegai in his appearance, and particularly a tentive as to the make and arrangemeo of his dress. It was not until some time had clap ed that Mr. Karl, finding himself e: tremely annoyed by the attentions of provokingly handaono youth towai Mam'selle Adeline, began to questic himself as to why he felt so much irr tated; and then it occurred to him 1 the strongest manner possible, sudden] as it were, without any mental train 4 reasoning, that he was in love. If Karl, or even the pretty Adelin had been slow in discovering the growl of their affections, Madame Hartma had been somewhat quicker; she he had experience in these matters, an could understand the very little inc dents, which, unheeded by the partif themvselves, speak volumes to a careft and interested observer; and, as a wit and prudent motner ought to do,. ab deemed it right, before matters went tc far, to know something more about 2,1 Karl Leibetz; it was true Mr. Reisthat had stated hi-; family to be of the higi est respectability, and that he we instructed to honor his drafts to an amount- all that might be very mell, s far as their orignal position was coi corned, but something more she thougi ought to be known, as matters seeme to be taking a different turn $o one day, finding the opportunit of making up some accounts with Mi Risthaus to be very convenient, si stated at once what were her suspicion and begged to know who and what th elder Mr. Leibetz might be. The worthy banker seemed somewht posed at auch a downright question, fc he stared at madame through his spe< taleis as if she had been a newly-discoi erod error in his ledger, but the scrutin was unmsatisfacb:oy, for the lady ha screwed up her countenance in the mo determied wanner; and, like Brutui she paused for a reply. "Tins in an awkward business, me dame," rejoined the banker. "Au awkward business!" responde< the lady in surprise. "Very. "I really don't understand you, Mi Roisthaus." "I am sorry for it, madame; but t explain." "It is a pity your daughter shoul< love Mr. Karl, and it is a pity that Mr Karl should be enamored of the younj lady, because thero can be no marriag in the case." "What," screamed the astonishei mother. "not marry my daughter!" "'erfectly out of the question..' "Is he married already?" "Oertainly not." "Then what is there to prevent him? "He has a father." "6Doubtless." "And his father is--" "What?" "Why, madame, I am not axactly a iberty to explain; but as a friend tA yourself and iamily, believe me when: say it is quite impossible that a mar ringo can, under any circumstanices take plae; therefore I would advia you, as soon as possible, to put a sto] to this courtinlg. The banker looked serious, ani madame knew him so wvell for a mattem of-tact personage, that she determines on following his advice; therefore, o her return home, without much circun locution, she stated her mind prett freely. Mr. Karl hnmmed and ha'd like man who had a great to say ; but did nc know exactly how to exj lain haiislf but madame cut the matter extrenel short, by stating that, as a motheoi anxious for time welfare and peace c mind of her daughter, she was desireu of preventing her affections being ii revocably fixed where the objectc them was altogether beyond her reach: and if perfectly agreeable to Mr. Kai Leibetz, his absence alone would brin about so desirable ain object. Mr. Karl looked very angry, an tried to expostulate; but madame r< mained firm, and the result was hi departure from Hleidelburg on the fo. lowing (lay. The pretty Adeline pined for som time for the lors of her companion, bil as time wvore on, and as neither he nc tidings of him ever reached her af to: ward, she gradually began to listen t the addresses of a young merchan1 named Roiter ; and though he wvante the grace, ease, and dignity of M3 Karl, yet the match was so desirable and the young man so agreaable, thi she at length consisted to become M11 dame Reiter. Time wore sway, and seime few yea1 passed on, Madame Rleiter having fo fowved tho prosperous fortunes of he husband, who had finally settled Munich ; as they were but recantly a: rived, with the intention of p~er[manenti residing at the Bavarian court, it wa necessary that they should be presentet The important day being arrivei found Madame Reiter arrayed in a the splendor of a court dress, an lhumes "cin suite,"~ and lookmng moi blooming and handsome than ever ; an the admiration of the crowd of courtiei waiting their turn for presentatien. When hier name was announced n the next in rotation, she felt a passing tremor of the moment, but the gracioue it bow of the sovereign instantly reassured t- her, and she raised her eyes until they it met those of the king, when to her no small surprise and astonisliment, she I- recognized Mr. Karl Leibetz; It ap. c- peared the recognition was mutual, but a the king, looking around, to prevent -a any breach of court etiquette, she ,n merely bowed and passed on. .. What were the precise results of this n ealaircissement, I know not but the .y worthy Mr. Reiter was often heard to )f congratulate himself on the lucky chance which had led him to carry on his busi aess at Munich, since he had prospered even beyond his most sanguine hopes. d A Plea for Long Hair. d A studen t on hair writes; whether the i- hair should be cut at all I never could as satisfy myself. As a a physiological prac atice. I seriously doubt the propriety. Every cutting Is a wounding, and there is sonic e sort of bleeding iii consequence, and waste e of vital force, I think it will be found o that long lived persons most frequently . wear the hair long. The cutting of the hair 3timulates to a new growth to supply the waste. Thus the energy required to maintain the vigor a of the body, is drawn off to make good y the wanton destruction, It is said, I know, a that after the hair has grown to u certain length, it loses its vitality at the extremity and splits or "brooms up.' Whether this t would be the case, if the hair ahonld never d 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 e long hair. 1 never could imjagiile why thib i distinction was made. The ancient priest e was very often unsexed or devoted to a vow of celibacy, but I cannot imagine whether that had anything to do with it. t Kings wore their hair long in imitation of r Samson, and the golden Sun-God, Mithraq - I suspect from this, that the first men shorn were slaves and laborers; that free. men wore their hair uilinutilated, as the y crown of perfect manhood and manliness d1 If this be correct, the new era of freedom, t wh.'n it ever shal dawn, will be charac terized by men unehorn as well as women unperverted, I wish that our science and our civiliza tion had better devices for preserving the integrity of the hair. Baldness is a defore mity and premature whiteness a defect. If the head was in health and the body in proper vigor, I am confident that this would not be. I am apprehensive that our dietetic haoits occasion the Weaching of the hair, the stff, arsenic-prepared hat D is responsible for much of the baldnces, Our hate-are unhealthy from the tricks of the hatters. I suppose there rro other causes, however Heredity has its intlu ence. Certain diseases wither the hair at its roots, others lower the vitality of the skin, and so depilate the body. I acknowledge that the shingled head disgusts me. It cannot be wholecome. The most sensitive part of the head is at the back, wherc the neck joins. This place exposed to unusual cold or heat, is liable to ieceive ai 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 them. and it is wicked to cut them off. No growth or part of the body is superflu ous, and we ought, as candidates for health and long life, to preserve ourselves from t violence or mutilation. Integrity Is the true manly standard. A uonriiy Dome. Father Borin, Professor Gregori, the a well-known artist, aud Architect Ed brooke are periecting ariangements for Sa new and splendid feature at Notre Dame University, South Blend, Inuiana, 1namely, the erection of the dome over -the main building, which, it is said, will Sbo the finest thing of the kind in this Scountry, the dome of the Capitol at Washington alone excepted. When completed the dome at Notre Dame will V be 200 feet high and the statue sur mounting it will be illuminated at night a by as ellipse of electric jets. The ini t terior will be painted in the hig~hest .style of ant, of which lie is master, by 'Professor Gregori. The arch of the Y cupola will be adorned with thiirty-six , allegorical paintings, representing the f arts and sciences, among others phiilo Ssophy, astnrnomy, law, physics, thieo logy, agriciulture, music, poetry, the mechanic arts, etc. 'The dome wvas designed in 1879 by 4, Mr. W. J. Edbrooke, of Chicago, in his rl plan of the college buildings. It is to g be a strong and massive structure of iron, gilt on the outside, similar to that of the Hotel des Invalides, of Paris. a 1t will cost from $25,000 to $30,000. SThe foundations were laid deep and( a strong, when the new college building -. was ercted, and the massive ,struauro of brick on which the dome is to rest was raised to a height of seventy-five e feet. rslidewalki olingiia in (Aerany.

Base natum es, if they find themselves Dangerous American Eortunes. An English writer says there is evidencc forithcoming from America that fortunes may be accumulated on a Pcalo of which Englishmen have little conception, anc that when they have been accumulated their increase may be sought from a motive which is never quite 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 ujust spend largely; and secondly, because they apsume 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, who do not care for rest in work which yields from three times to ten times that rate. Now, the governin financlal fact aboit the Vanderbilt rail ways in that they k)'e managed to yield, and do yield, a steady 10 per cent.; and Mr. Vanderbilt ought, therefore, to be in possession of an income ot C2,000,000 a year. It is not, probably, so much, be cause part of his fortune must have been estimated for probate duty on shares above psr; but, taking it at only XL,50@,000, Mr. Vanderbilt, who does not spend un productively the interest of his dividends, might easily at seventy own X50,000,000, yielding an average of 8 per cent. None of his known rivals, perhaps, cotild 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 tue million aires, though they make it every day; or avy calculation about compound inter est, though there is such a force in move ment in their favor. We assume only that they live on the interest of their in terest-In Mr. Vanderbilt's case ?00,000 a year-and invest the remainder in the new railroads, telegraphs, and atean 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 occasional threats, are not mtny. Railway mana. gers are easily toand, other stockholders take much work off the millionaires' haiuds, and as against Ordinary accident, so vast an investuent forma its own best insurance. If an Englishman could own 51 per cent. of the Midland & 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 E~ast 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 conmunity? We cannot but teel a doubt of it. An Aume..c 4Aobeary. It is now more than thirty years since renry Layard, pa~ssmgA through o f 'the doorways ot the partially explored pal ace in the mound of Kouyunlik, guarded by sculptured fish gods, stood for the first tine in the double chambers containing a large portion of the immense library col lected by Aqsurbaunipal, King of Nineveh. Tue floors, ti the depth of a foot or more, were covered with thousands of tablets, all engraved with cuneiform writing: nany in perfect condition, but the majority bro ken into several fragments, frequently widely separatcd and portions apparently sometimes missing altogether. 'T'liese tab. lets were of variaus siZes, rang ng from one inch square to about n ne by six inch es, by far the larger portion alike in shape something similar to a pin cushion, or dog biscuit, but occasiona:ly resembling a cyl inder or small barrel. The lesser ones contained, perhaps, ouiy two or three lines of characters; the larger sometimkues nearly one hundred. Friom the manner in which they were hieap)ed together and broken, and the fact that many have been founid buried in umghibormna pafts of the debris, it is evidleut that these chambers were not the original depository of thme tablets, but that the library must have been placed in some upper alor-y of the edific" of which they formed a part. Tbn.;, upca the do. struction of the building, t'ney were precip itated into the position in which the ex plorer found them. bince that time, with buislight imtermis sirins, this treasure house of a forgotten past nas been turned over and over again and aguin, notably in the expeditions o1 die late alr. George Smith, anld still the supply of it.- eneif rm literature is not exhiausted. Until last year this discovery reiimined umique; but the perseverance of the British Mmeumi authorities and the patient labor of Mr. R~assam were then re. warded ty thme exhumation of what Is ap parently the lhbuary chamber of the temple or palace at Bippara, with all its 1,000 tablets, resting undisturbed arranged In' their positions on the shelves, just as placed in order by the librarian twenty live centuries ago. TIhe contents ot tile liibrary, so far as they have yet been dcci p~heredi, relate to co'mmercial transactions. The WVrut Was Enforoed. Some time ago Bishop Mlnkwmtz, a well-known freethinker of Little Rock, furnished lumber for the erection of a negro church. Somehow the brothers neglected to pay Bishop Minkwitz, amnd last Sundlay the old man went to the chutrcha, a place lie rarely visits, and too~k a seat among the ardent brethren, Du ring the sermo'n the minister said: "This is the Lord's house, and we should all he thankful for the privilege of sitting in the house of the Lord." "11old oni'' exclauimed Mlukwitz; "this is not the Lo-rd's house. This is my house. When you pay me for the material of which tis house Is constructed you may call it the Lord's house, but until you (do pay me you ruust refer to this as the house of Mlikwitz." it. ma said that the old( man has secured a w~.t b~y which he can by law compel the-preacher to iefer to the church as the house of Mmnkwitz, andI that lhe imtends to be present at every meeting and see that the provis ions of the writ are enforced. When a man asks you how you feel tis morning and you reply, "I don't feul at all like myaelf,"' it may be that those who know you best will be very glad of it.

What To Eat0 And Drink When Tricyolag 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 drink, 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 caring to dismount 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 M&Mo to lot tgestron nave full swing, and then on again, gently at first, brisk ly afterward. Such a plin 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 come. The diet itsoli can scarcely l)e too simple. Animal food should be fresh, not salted, and well cooked; light animal foods like lish and fowl and mut ton are yery good to work on; eggs and milk are very good. A couple of eggs beaten well up in a cup, mixed with hot water, sweetened moderately with sugar, and treated with a small quantity of milk so as to make from half a pint to three-quarters of a pint, is with a little bisouit. 41n excellent sustaining meal for those to whom eggs are easily digestible. To those who can digest it oatmeal porridge is very good io break fast on; and to all who can digest milk, milk is lightly thickened with wheat meal is most substaining. Broad should be taken in moderato quantity, and fresh vegetables and fresh fruit are al ways in chtracEer when not taken in excess. Somo fruits which for a mo ment seem extremely refreshing while on the travel become a causo of thirst if the day is very warm. I notice this particulary in regard to orinnages, the most tempting perhaps an( 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 drink 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, lie is sure to acquire also tni desire to taxu iniatis i.ar too trecly. He will become so dry in the mouth lie will fool he cannot get on unless lhe has somcthing to quench his 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 ovoporatug of the water fro in the body and nob any more. What the character of the drink shall be is not very diffloult to answer, and what it should not be Is answered with less diffloulty, for ce'airly of all things again it should not be an alcoholic stim ulant. On this last named point we who are advocates for total abstinence from all alcoholic beverages have so cured, beyond any mistake, a flue score from tricycling experiences. Those who are to seine degree in opposition to us on the general question, I mean thiose' who still hold that alcoholic drinks are in their right place as luxuries and should not be denied as luxuries, are with us if they are practised tricyclists, in expressing that alcoholic stimulation is fatal to good, sure, and sustained work. Little Mgjkittee and Samson. "Pa," said the Rev. Mulkittle's lIttle sou, "Samson was a strong man, wasn 't he?" "damson wan the strongest itan Itat ever lIved." "Tell mne about hIm." "lt was Intended that Samson should be the strongest man, and before lie was born --" T1he bewildered expression on the child's face arrested the minister in his narration. "Before he was born? ' asked the boy. "Yes; before -that is before lie was found in the hollow st um--" "Just like lIttle sister." "Yecs; just be rore lhe was found an angel appeared and foretold of hIs strength, saving that no razor must touch his head." "Was the angel at raid that the razor would cut hun?" "'No; the angel meant that lia strength lay In his hair, and that lis haIr must not be cut off." "If I let my haIr grow long can I llft more than 1 can now?" "I don't know about that." "Arc women stronger thian men?" ' No." "But they've got longer hiair?" "Yesa; they hiave longer hair." "A wotian couldn't whip yen, could she?"''"No; not easily." "Was Samson a Democrat?" "I don't know." "But why don't you know. I'd know if I was as old as you. H-ow many was,It that Samson killed?" ' One thousand." "lie was bad, wasn't he?" "No." "But when a man kills anybody lie's bad?'' "T'he Lord was with taamson." "But the Lord says you musn't kill any body. Did Samson go to Hleaveun?" "1 suppose so." "He is the strongest angel there, ain't lie?" "You arc getting foolish again." "But I want to know. Will you know Samson wvhien you go to licavent?" "1 suppose so." "But, you won't fool around him, will you? if he was to hit you he'd break your wings, wouldn't be?" 'Go to your mother. The next tine you attempt to question me about the Bible I shall whip you." Discretion of speech is more than elo quence. Where children are, there is the gol den age. That is half granted which is denied graciously. IWe must learn to infuse sublimity in to trifle.; that is power. FOOD FOR THOUGI'1. Tho world does not require so wuch to be informed as to be reminded.
