"He should set up a target toward which every arrow of effort is aimed. Every act of his life shotfld be a means toward an end. 'Plant your stake somewhere ahead, young man, and try with your utmost energy to get there,' said Dan­ iel Webster; 'and if you don't stop somewhere on the way, you will be sure to reach it.' That's the talk for me; it has the ring of pure gold about it, and if I had a dozen boys I would have that printed in letters a foot long and pasted on the walls of every room in the house. I tell you, Milliken, every­ thing depends on getting a boy started right. Look at me. Parents both died before I was big enough to butter my own biscuit, and I was left to drift about without a rudder, and grow up with no more ambition than an organ- grinder. I had to do a heap of wild shooting before I found out that every­ thing depended on blazing away in the same direction all the time, but for ten years back I've had my stake planted, and if I'm spared I'm bound to get there as sure as guns," and Gosport brought down his hand with a slap so sudden that an old lady just ahead gave a jump, screamed "Mercy on us!" and dropped a pound of butter on the side­ walk. "Well, I hope youH get there, Gos, upon my word I do," replied Millikin. "But if it ain't an impertinance, may I ask what sort of a sapling your hatchet is aimed at?" "Certainly; there's no secret about it. I want to be a farmer." Millikin braced about and gave him a look that began at his plug hat and went down to his button shoes. "Well, you'd make a nice-looking granger, you would. Whatever put that notion into your head?" inquired Millikin, with a tone that had consid­ erable pity in it. "I always wanted to get into a posi­ tion where I could feel independent. I don't like the trammels a business man hap to submit to. It galls me, and I don't intend to put up with it any longer than I have to. I want to be free to come and go as I please. Work when I want to, and rest when I feel like it. To have my own ideas on poli­ tico and religion without the danger of taking bread out of the mouths of my children by doing so." "You want to be independent?" "Yes, sir, I do; I want to feel that I can safely have opinions of my own, on every subject under the sun, from evo­ lution to the price of whisky, without having to pay a tax, in the" shape of lost patronage. The farmer is the most independent man in the world "When his wife is away from hojne." "None of your jokes. I am serious. I am determined to be a farmer. I want to be the owner of some land and my own soul. If I know a man to bo a villian or a hypocrite, I don't want to be compelled to associate with him or have anything to do with him." "And you want to be independent?" "To be sure I do/and I will be if I'm spared a few years'longer. For years my objective point has been to find my­ self the owner of a good farm; where I could earn my bread by the sweat of a hired man's brow; smell the clover blossoms; drink in the beauties of na­ ture, and eat sausage whenever I feel so disposed, without fear of losing so­ cial standing." "It's independence you're after?" "Don't I tell you so ?" "Then, in heaven's name, why don't you buy a railroad restaurant, and get into a position where you can make the biggest farmer in the State feel like a small boy every time he comes along? If it's independence you want, you can get so much of it for so little money in any other walk of life. Farming, fudge! Let me sell the sandwiches and I don't care a pretzel who buys the na­ tion."--Chicago Ledger. I; Brook Farm. The Brook-Farm project originated •' with Mr. George Ripley, a prominent humanitarian of Boston, and Dr. William H. Channing. The original {>lan was to make of it a religious and iterary community, supported by joint labor of its members on a farm "which was the common property of all. All I were to live simply, and, as the hours of labor were brief, abundant leisure was to be secured for social and intel­ lectual intercourse. All the members of the community were to be stockholders in the community's property, some giving money and others contributing labor as an equivalent. Many persons of note in the literary world were members of the association, including Theodore Parker, George William Curtis, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charles A. Dana, Elizabeth P. Peabody, Margar&t Fuller, and others. The association was organized in 1841, the farm purchased, and by the following spring its plan was fairly in working order. It was then known simply as the West Roxbury Community, Brook Farm being the name of the place owned by the society. A quar­ terly journal called the Dial was carried on by members of the society. In December, 1843, a convention of re­ formers of various grades was held in . Boston, to discuss the ideas of Fourier, 'which had just become known in this country. The result was the conver­ sion of all the Brook Farmers to Fou- rierism, and the transformation of their simple community into a Fourierist "Phalanx" under the name of the Brook Farm Association. The lead­ ers of this movement were George Hip- ley, Minot Pratt, and Charles A. Dana. The land owned by the asso­ ciation at thisjtime aggregated 208 acres, situated at West Roxbury, eight miles from Boston, and their . property, real and personal, was estimated at $30,000. In the summer of 1884 the Dial sus­ pended publication. The new organ of the association was the Phalanx, then published in New York, afterwards re­ moved to Boston, where its name was changed to the Harbinger. The Brook Farm Association was incorporated by : the Massachusetts Legislature in the ; winter of 1844-5, under the name of : "The Brook Farm Phalanx." From ' this time the main function of Brook Farm was propagandism. It continued the management of the communal af­ fairs at West Roxbury, and made many : improvements there, and put up large ; workshops and other buildings. But outside of this work its mem- ' Bers conducted the Harbinger, which ; was published weekly, and was given up almost wholly to advocacy of Four- ierism, and it also instituted a mission- ; ary society and a lecturing system. Its • members; with some outside sympa­ thizers, formed an organization, the American Union of Asuociationists, the two foremost workers in which were William H. Channing and Charles A. Dana, and eloquent appeals in the form • of circular's were sent out, urging the ; formation of similar societies all over the country. A number of these were formed, but, unfortunately, nearlv all were failures. March 3,1846, the large "phalanstery," in process of erection at Brook Farm, was burned. This was a terrible wow to the society, and one from whwh it never recovered. The organization lingered, and continued the publication of the Harbinger, till October, 1847, but the hope of becom­ ing a model "phalanx" died out long be­ fore that time. The associate life was broken up in 1847, and the Brook Farmers songht other fields of lalxm The end of Brook Farm was virtually the end of Fourierism in the United States, for though dlher organizations of a similar character had been formed after its example, their lives were of short duration, when the inspiration of the Roxbury apostles was gone.--Inter Ocean. "Push Along--Keep Moving." Such is the cry of progress every­ where. It is the watchword of the nineteenth century, written on every banner, carved on every blade lifted in in the cause of human advancement. "Push along--keep moving!" There's a volume of good counsel in those words. To the young, just setting out into life, they are of infinite value: they have an omniscient influence, girding the soul with everlasting vigor. If the arm grows weary and the heart faint, they tinge the future with the hues of triumph, and lead on the feet with hopeful strength; if obstacles rise in the way, "Push along--keep moving," from the lips of hope, is better than a Damascus blade in hewing out a path to victory. "Push along!" What if clouds, thick and heavy, are stretched out before you! "Push along!" What if your eyes see no signs of victory, and no gleams of hope! "Push along!" What if death stride into your household ring and break all the shrines of idolatry? Mourn not hoplessly, look not always back, let the dead past bury its dead. r,Pnsh along--keep moving!" "Keep moving!" Nature cries it with her ten thousand tongues; the uni-. verse, as it rolls continually onward, echoes back the cry, "Push along! keep moving!" What your hand findeth to do, do it with all your might; pause not, rest not. "Push along!" It goes round the world like a trumpet-call, rousing up the slumbering, strengthen­ ing the weak, inspiring the fearful, urging the strong to continual con­ quest. It is everywhere the same, the spring and fountain of all true progress. Young man, if you would conquer in the battle of life, write this watchword upon your banner : "Push along--keep moving."--American Cultivator. A Thrilling Experience. "I have had plenty of experience cal­ culated to try a man's nerve," said a friend of mine. "I have sought the bubble reputation even at the cannon's mouth. I led a relief party into a caved- in coal mine, I stayed in New Orleans all during the yellow-fever epidemic, but I never was so scared in all my life, never felt so great a responsibility, as one day in a quiet country street with­ out another human being in sight. It was this way: A friend of mine who lived there owned a twenty-two thou­ sand dollar trotter, and he was taking him out with only a halter on. He for­ got something and gave me the halter while he ran back. He did not return at once, and a sudden start given to the horse by a piece of paper blowing across the street made me realize my position. I had at the other end of a slender strap twenty-two thousand dollars'worth of horse-flesli belonging to another man. At any moment a sudden noise might cause the animal to break away from me and dash himselfio death against the fences or in a ditch. Even the discovery of my presence might have that effect. I scarcely breathed and the perspiration broke in cold streams all over me. 1 could not take my eyes off the the beast; I was fascinated by its face. Every time it lifted a'foot or moved a muscle an involuntary shud­ der ran through my frame. My friend was only gone a minute or two, but it seemefl an age. When he returned I fairly forced the halter into his hand. 'Why, old fellow,' said he, 'you're as pale as a ghost.!'"--Chicago News. Tight Lacing to Be Fashionable Again. "Is it true," was asked one of our best modistes, "that tight lacing is coming into fashion again?" "Yes, it is true. You see it is fash­ ionable for ladies to be broad shoul­ dered and small waisted, and customers of mine, whose clothes I used to make from twenty-three to twenty-seven inches, waist measure, now have them fully five inches smaller. Only a year ago a natural waist, measuring say from twenty-five to twenty-seven inches, was considered graceful and pretty, which it really is, but now it is not fashionable to measure more than from eighteen to twenty-three inches. Of course the lacing is done by means of the corset, bat sometimes I nearly brake my fingers trying to fit and close basques that are so tight they will not meet without an effort. While everything must be very tif^lit in the waist, breadth and fullness about the shoulders and bust are striven after, as they serve by contrast to in­ tensify the seeming snialluess of the waist. Do I use padding? Oh, ves; lots of it. The hollows between the shoulders and under the arms are filled out with it, and in some cases one whole shoulder is made of it, notably where one shoulder is higher than the other. Everything must fit skin tight these days, and if one has not a good figure it must be made good. A favorite method of procedure is to fit first on the figure a lini&g, on which the figure is built out with cotton wherever needed. Over this is fitted a second lining, and then dbmes the dress ma­ terial."--Baltimore Sun. Roman Stage Scenery. The Romans did not employ scenery on the stage to the extent that we do now, but they used a machine called the pegma for representing any sudden or miraculous change of scenic effect. The apparatus was made of wood, and so constructed by means of springs and weights in the internal machinery that it would open and shut, expand or con­ tract, increase or diminish in height, or change of itself into a form altogether different from the original one. It was like the contrivances employed in modern pantomimes for producing tricks and changes. GOOD manners, as has baen pithily said, are only the absence of selfish­ ness. They are the doing to others as we would wish to be done unto. A thoughtfulness for the comfort of those about us, a pleasant smile, a kind word --these are the ingredients of which good manners are chiefly composed. IT has been said: Nothing can be both a failure and a success. How about the youth who is a sucoess as a dude and a failure as a man? PEEP-SEA FISHING. BIH. C. PODGE. New York; 6 o'clock sharp; a clear, sparkling morning; warm westerly winds and we're "all aboard" for a deep- sea fishing trip to the Cholera Banks, forty miles away and nearly out of sight of the Long Island coast. bur fast sea-going steamboat, the J. B. Schuy­ ler, managed by the celebrated five Foster Brothers, flies with its load of 200 eager fishermen through the mag­ nificent bay and Narrows till it emerges on the broad Atlantic. Now we rush past Coney Island, gazing at its big elephant and other wonders and arrive at the bell buoy, off Rock a way Inlet, where we leave the shore and "sail the ocean blue" in a straight line for the fishing grounds. An hour and twenty minutes will bring us on the banks. We're On the hurricane deck and with our bait of sea clams and bunkers cut up in gen­ erous pieces and a bushel bag to lipid the fish fastened in an inverted stool we commence getting our tackle ready. The boat rocks with the heavy ground swell of the waves and a few landsmen are wishing they hadn't come, and we old fishermen enjoy it. But we hope no easterly wind will spring up making a heavy sea, for in this spot far from any harbor our boat couldn't stand it, and we'd have to run away, leaving the big fish we're sure of catching for another time. Now Al. Foster is up aloft with Ins spy glass taking bearings from the hill?' twenty-three miles distant. The lead is being sounded for rocky bottom and a thrill of excitement and expectation pervades--such a thrill as only true fishermen can feel. But Al. Foster never fails to find the right spot. The whistle toots and* the anchor is dropped. With our strong Newport bass rod we cast 150 feet away from the boat. A moment's suspense and we feel a tug on our line, and we've got a fish and a big one, too. How he fights as we be­ gin to steadily reel in! Twenty feet below the surface of . the clear, emerald water we see him turn­ ing, darting and struggling for his life. It's a six-pound sea bass. At last we've got him to the top, but he's too heavy to lift. "Get the gaff!" we shout, and some one below plunges one of the many large gaff hooks at the end of a pole in him and lands him on the lower deck. We rush down and proudly bring up our prize. We bait the hooks again with trembling fingers and try another cast. Hardly are we on< bottom when we feel a jerk that bends the stiff pole double. It's a fluke this time, we know by the way he comes up. "Get the gaff" again, and a ten-pounder went in the bag. The next half dozen fish are smaller, two to four pounds each, and we lift them on the poles. Now we've got a dog fish on and cry for the other lines to look out, for tliis young shark rushes among them so we're afraid of a tangle-- and we get one, too. Four lines are mixed with ours and come up together. But we let the folks below take off the varmint and patiently unravel the snarls and wreak vengeance on the fish by knifing him and throwing him overboard. While that is being done we've a chance to look about. A hundred lines are out along the boat's side and the queerest assortment of big sea fish are con­ stantly coming up through the trans­ parent waves and flopping around on the decks. Great yellow conger eels, with im­ mense, ugly and dangerous mouths-- beautiful, silvery two-pound porgies, lings, codfish, blackfish, skates as big as your coat with sharp tails, like a whiplash they stick in you, great hump­ backed green sea-bass, dog-fish four feet long, big sea robins, hake, liackle- heads, funny toad-fish aiid blow-fish, now and then a grand blue-fisli or an old grandfather of a lobster,--and the animation and excitement of the fishers, the grandeur of the ocean with its de- liciouslv refreshing sea breeze, making lip a scene always to be remembered with exquisite delight. Now we've fished for four hours, our bag is filled, our arms ache from reel­ ing in the monsters, and we're ready to go home and show our catch. But we must sail around the rival fishing boat near by and paralyze them with the ex­ hibition of our luck. With bells ring­ ing, whistles blowing and shouts from all hands holding up immense strings •of fish we are ready to do so. But they are ready for us, and with as much noise and as many fish, return the com­ pliment. Now comes the three and a half hours' sail for home. We've put our tackle in shape, eaten our lunch, got our "red hot chowder" and coffee, and {tuffing our cigar we lay up against a ife raft on the beloved hurricane deck, enjoy the scene, talk, fish and go to sleep. When we arrive at the dock it takes two of us to carry fish to the train, fill­ ing the admiring crowd that follow us with wonder. These ocean fishing trips are always most exciting, though seldom danger­ ous, for Commodore Hancoxe is ever on the watch for the safety of his boat and passengers. Oftentimes great man- eating sharks are hooked and brought on deck, to the terror of the ladies aboard. Sometimes we are caught in a blow and have to run for it. Once in a while the cry is heard, "Man over- hoard!" and then a thrilling rescue or or a sad drowning occurs. One day off Long Branch a fisher fell in the water and immediately sank. After an hour another fisherman brought him up on his line--dead, of course, and after the body was laid in the cabin the fishing went right on as usual.--Detroit Free .Vress. It Occasionally Happens. Two residents of this Territory were talking to a young man, a friend of one, who was coming out from the States. Said one of them : "What are you going to have him be when he gets there ?" "Well, I don't hardly know whether to advise him to set up for a doctor or a lawyer." "Why not have him say he's a news­ paper man V" "I might of course--he really lias had a little experience in that business- used to drive the drav that carried the paper over to the editor down thero where he lived--but he always has been used to living pretty well and I don't know as he'd like it." "Yes, that's so. Guess you'd better call him a lawyer." "Yes, I reckon. Court will be in session here then and, he can stop in and get admitted to the bar while he's coming over from the depot."--Etstel- line BelL A YOUNG man with n pair of hand- painted suspenders generally finds a room too warm to work in with his coat on. Why Is It That rheumatism and neuralgia at* so prevalent? This question has not been satisfactorily answered, but it is certain that these diseases are not only the most painful but among the most common, and some member of nearly every family in the land is the victim of one of these dread tormentors. Ladies seeia to be peculiarly liable to neuralgic attacks, which, in th« form of neuralgic headache, pain in the back, or nervous pains, are of constant oc­ currence, particularly at this season of the year. Not until the discovery of Athlo- phoros had any remedy been found for either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervoris headache, and thev were generally conceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros has been proved to be not only a certain cure for these diseases, in all their varied forms, hut a /tafe remedy. If in the use of Ath­ lophoros, the bowels are kept freely open, its success is certain, and to aid this, Ath­ lophoros Pills are recommended, which, while providing the necessary cathartic, will be found to be a valuable * aid to the action of the medicine. Athlophoros is no new experiment; it has been thoroughly tested, and has proved its wonderful effi­ cacy. The Athlophoros Pills were originally pre­ pared as a remedvfor use in connection with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and neuralgia and kindred compltiints. Used in connec­ tion with that remedy, they are a certain cure for either of these very common and distressing diseases. They have also been found to be an invaluable remedy for rnauy other complaints, in fact for any and all diseases arising from vitiated blood or general debility. They are especially valuable for nervous debility, blood poi­ soning, dyspepsia, distress after eating, headache, constipation, loss of appetite, and all stomach or liver troubles. For dis­ eases of women they, are invaluable. These pills are perfectly harmless, and may be safely'used by adults or children. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where thev can­ not be bought of the druggist the Athlo­ phoros Co., 112 Wall St.. New York, will send either (carriage paid) ou receipt of ilar price, which is 91.00 per bottle for egul Athlophoros and 50c. for Pills. He Couldn't Scare Cassatt. "Talking about fast running," said an old railroader, "reminds me of a little story of A. J. Cassett, formerly of the Pennsylvania Road, but now in re­ tirement as Mr. Kelso, proprietor of a racing stable. Well, Cassatt was on the line between New York and Phila­ delphia one day a few years ago, and at Jersey City got up into the locomotive with which Jim Sanford was starting for Philadelphia with No. 13, the flying train, which then, as now, made the ninety-mile run in one hundred and twelve minutes. When he got along down by Menlo Park, Jim thought he would have some fun with Cassatt, and so he let her out. When she struck an easy grade two or three miles were covered at the rate of forty-seven sec­ onds to the mile, which is frightful running--nearly seventy-seven miles an hour. Jim kept looking over to Cas­ satt, hoping the Vice President would show Some signs of fear. But Cassatt kept looking out of the window of the shaking, plunging, careening engine without a change of color or expression ou his face. Finally he turned to Jim and inquired: " 'Say, is that the best she can do ? Can't she go faster than this ?' • "That was the last time Jim Sanford tried to scare A. J. Cassatt. 'Why,' says Jim. when he tells the story, as he pretty often does, 'I was a leetle siairt myself, not bein' sartin if the machine would hang together at that frightful pace, and when Cassatt up and wanted to. go faster I give up in despair. Never saw such a man in my life.' "--Chicago Herald. Soothing a Horse by Song. A minister named M. C , who has since passed into "innocuous des­ uetude" by falling from grace, had a circuit in Southern Indiana. The horse he rode was a spirited animal and would not let a blacksmith shoe him. The preacher was a great revivalist, and singer of revival songs--noted for his "power of song," in fact. A smith in the county seat, the cen­ ter of the circuit, learning that the preacher's horse would not be shod, meeting the divine one day, said: "If you'll bring that horse to my shop on to-morrow, and follow my in­ structions, I'll shoe him 'all round,' and it won't cost you a cent." Accordingly the preacher was on time at the smith shop with his refrac­ tory steed, and after the animal had been divested of saddle, blankets, and all but the bridle, the smith said: "Now, hold your horse by the rein, close to the bridle-bit, and sing one of your liveliest camp-meeting songs, and when that is ended, strike up another, and keep on singing until I finish shoe­ ing the horse." The preacher obeyed, and to the as­ tonishment of all, the animal was passive until the work was completed. As the blacksmith clinched the last nail he dropped the animal's foot, ex­ claiming: "There, I knew you oould sing re­ ligion into that horse."--Detroit Free Press. Bridges. The first bridges were of wood, and the earliest of which we have any ac­ count was built in Rome 500 B. C. The next was erected by Julius Ciisar for the passage of his army across the Rhine. Trajan's great bridge over the Danube, 4,770 feet long, was made of timber, with stone piers. The Ropians also built the first stone bridge which crossed the Tiber. Suspension bridges are of remote origin. A Chinese one mentioned by Kirclien was made of chains supporting a roadway 830 feet in length. It was built A. I). 65, and is still to be seen. The first large iron bridge was over the Severn in 1777. The age of railways has wrought a re­ markable development in this branch of engineering, especially in the construc­ tion of bridges of iron and steel. Important.

Among the North American tribca there are seven modes of burial, viz., by inhumation; by embalmment; by deposition of remains in urns; by sur­ face burial (the remains being placed in hollow trees or logs, peas, or simply covered with earth, or bark, or rocks forming cairns); by cremation; by aeri­ al sepulture (the bodies being left in lodges, houses, cabins, tents, deposited on scaffolds or trees, in boxes or ca­ noes, supported on scaffolds or posts, or placed on the ground,) and by aquat­ ic burial beneath the water, or in ca­ noes turned adrift. Each tribe follows its own course, according to the estab­ lished custom. The first form of buri­ al, that is, of interment in the ground, was customary among the Mohawks of New York. Schoolcraft, in his history of the Indian tribes, tells us that "the Moliawts of New York made a large round hole in which the body was placed upright, or upon its haunches, after which it was covered with timber tosupport the earth which they laid over it, and thereby kept the body from be­ ing pressed. They theh raised the earth in a round hill over it. They al­ ways dressed the corpse in all its finery, and put wampum and other things into the grave with it; and the relations suffered not grass nor weeds to grow upon the grave, and frequently visited it and made lamentations." The same custom prevailed among the Indians formerly inhabiting the Carolinas, but they placed the corpse in a coffin made of woven reeds or hollow canes, tied fast at both ends. After a time the body is taken up. the bones cleaned and deposited in an ossuary, called the quiogozon. The custom of tying up the corpse likewise prevails among the Yumanas of South America, who "bury their dead bent double, with faces look­ ing toward the heavenly rogion of the sunrise, the home of their great good deity, who they trust will take their souls with liinjto hisfdwelling. On the other hand, the Peruvian custom was to place the dead huddled up in a sit­ ting posture, and with faces turned to the west." With regard to burying in the ground, Tylor informs us that it is customary among the Winnebagoes of North America to bury a man "sitting up to the breast in a hole in the ground, looking westward; or graves are dug east and west, and the bodies laid in them with the head eastward, witli the motive that they may look toward the happy land in the west." The Physiology of the Liver. Tho liver is the largest secrcting organ in the human bjdy, and the bilo which it secretes is more liable to vitiation and misdirection^ from its proper channels than any other of the ani­ mal fluids. LUCKILY for tho bilious, however, there is an unfailing source of relief from liver complaint, namely, Hostetter'S Stomach Bitters, a medicine which for over a quarter of a cen­ tury lias been achieving thorough cures of the above-mentioned ailments, fever and ague, dys­ pepsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic and kidney affection, and disorders involving los < of nerv­ ous vigor. It is, moreover, a preventive of ma­ larial disease, and atTords protection to thou­ sands of persons residing in districts of country where that dire scourge is prevalent. As a remedy adapted to the medicinal requirements of families, it is supremely desirable, and as a means of fortifying a debilitated system, it is thoroughly to be depended upon. The Tower of l'I in Cathedral. Flush with the main wall of the church uprises the tower, an elegant mass of late decorated gothic, in which is carried out to greater completeness the idea developed by Master Erwin, at Strasburg, of pilaster strips before the deeper lying windows, thus effectuating in the tower the idea started in the porch. In this tower, which is easily ascended, and which commands an ex­ tensive view of the sui rounding plains and the Swabian Alps, hang a large number of bells, Ull bearing names in- j dicative of their purpose. Some have long bet n silent, among them one named the "wine bell," once rung night­ ly at 10 o'clock for the purpose of fetch ing the male population home from the tavern. On the top is a quaint Latin inscription commemorating the fool- hardinesB of the Emperor Maximilian, a lover, it would seem, of foolhardy deeds--for lnnspruck has a cognate tale to tell--who, ascending this tower in 1492, leaped upon the parapet, and bal­ ancing himself on one leg, swung round the other in mid air; a truly royal form of recreation. In the tower, too, is kept a typical "Ulmhead," the largest tobacco pipe ever made, excepting al­ ways her Majesty's in St. Catlierne's docks. Tradition telleth that a student from Tubingen once smoked it empty after a steady pull of nine hours. Tra­ dition telleth not how the student felt afterward. On the roof of the navo sits the image of a huge sparrow, known as the "Ulmer-spatz," a figure that has sat here from time immemorial as a memento to the Ulmers of the stupid­ ity of their forefathers, who needed a bird to show them that a beam carried crosswise could not enter into a narrow gate.
