' Many bits of dry-as-dust humor have been recalled by the recent destruction of the old professorial reception-room in the eastern wing of the Berlin Uni­ versity building, but none is more de­ lightful than a reminiscence of the two famous professors, Wolf and Mar- heinek-e. Wolf was a Greek philologue -so deeply immersed in the studf of Homer that he always profoundly des­ ignated himself the "last of the heath­ en." Marheineke, the theologian, iti- •enrred his displeasure by not sharing his views concerning the original text •of the New Testament. The^two hap­ pened to be alone together in the recep­ tion-room one day and at once fell to •disputing. Wolf got so excited that speech failed him, and after • sputtering ^vainly to push out a word or'two, ibe dropped, "purple and unconscious, on the old leather sofa in thescorner. Mar­ heineke seized a glass of water and sprinkled his face till he.recovered con­ sciousness. Meanwhile several other professors had come in, and, as t&ey gathered round the old, man, Mar­ heineke sprinkled him again and said: "I baptize thee, lastpf the heathen." In his effort to get back at the theolo­ gian Wolf again lost his senses. When -he recovered he clapped on feds hat, tucked his leather bag of notes under his arm, and, without a word, hurried off home; He never afterward -called himself the "last of the heathen."--Jf. Jf. Sun. • Courageous Woaiita. In 'the year 1705, John* ISamis and his wife, an English woman fey birth, settled upon the bank of tbe Snsque- thanna River, at a plaoe afterward known.as "Harris Ferry"--now Harris- burg. There he carried on a trade with rthe Indians, great numbers of whom were.In,that neighborhood.. On one occasion, Mrs. Harris semther •servant into the cellar for something. The girl lighted a candle, and carrying it in her hand, without placing it in a oandle-stick, disappeared down the stair­ way. .She returned in a short time witb the desired article, but without the light. "Wihere.did you leave the caeile?" Mrs. Hariri* inquired. "it is in the cellar, standing in * harael of sand," the girl replied. "Merciful goodness!" ejaculated lfra. Harris, hastening down the stairs. These, some ^enough, was the candle, standing erect, in an open barrel of gunpowder, its feeble flame throwing a camele of Iig)ht around it Walking <boldly up to tbe barrel, the bra*e 3v@tman -deliberately' placed her hands 'beneath and around the burning candle, and lifting it carefully from its dangeaams position, Carrie 1 it ap the stairs. , ACurtou LBW. One of the most Eemarkable measure enacted by the Prussian landtag during the sessioffi which has just been brought to a eloae is a law providing for compensation -to agriculturists for damage done to their crops by game. The damage is not to be paid by the own­ ers of the game, who almost invariably belong to territorial nobility, both great and small, but by the other agricultur­ ists, farmers and peasants, whose crops the game haa refrained from injuring oc that particular occasion. This extra- oedinarv method of squaring accounts mast be attributed to the faet that the majority in the Prussian landt&g is com­ posed almost entirely of petty territorial nobility. But it is incredible that a man so enlightened and progressive as the present Emperor of Germany should have given his sanction to a law which, in the words of the old proverb, "robB Peter to pay Paul." Indeed, under its provisions, it will become more profit­ able to have one's crops injured by game .than to have them left undam­ aged. • . •' Tito Moon'a Moon.

"Oh, that kind," said the rogue- catcher, with a laugh. "Yes, I have met with a good deal of that charac­ teristic you mean when you say 'Honor among thieves', but its not honor, its only selfishness, self-interest, self-pre­ servation, and it wilts like a young widow's weeds whenever it pays better to cast it aside. ; "But 1 have just heard of a rather re­ markable display of this sort of honor, which occurred in this city not long ago. "An elderly Man, a typical hay-seed, who had come to town to see the sights, accosted a policeman on the Bowery and toid him with tears in his voice that he must have been robbed of all his money, $80, for he con Id not find it in any of his pockets and he did not-know just where or when he had last seen it "The old boy had been poking about in some of the worst dives and dens of the city, and the wonder was that in his greenness he had not met with some­ thing rougher than a mere pickpocket. Nothing could be done, however, so tlie old fellow was advised to pawn his watch, ail he had left, for enough money to buy a return ticket and in future to keep away from the wicked­ ness of the metropolis. "The old man set out from the poliee station for the pawnshop, in wild des­ pair, but in a few hours' time burst in upon the police sergeant behind the desk with the shout: ^ " 'I've been robbed again P " 'Again,' exclaimed the sergeant an- fjrjfy. Have you been into the dives again ? • Did you pawn your watch ?' " 'No,-' cried old Hayseed,^ 'just as I was going into the pawnshop „a man touched me on the arm and said lie was a detective in plain clothes, sent by the police to help me to get back my money and if I would go with him he would have it'returned to me 1' " 'And were you fool enough to go with him!' exclaimed the sergeant. " *Of course, I went,' said Hayseed. " 'Then you deserved to be robbed of your watch tool' "" 'My watch?' * 'Yes, your watch!' "" 'My watch is all right!* "" 'You said you have * robbed again.' " 'So I have. " 'But when you left here a few hours ago you said you had nothing bat yoar watch.' " 'Neither I had.' " 'What in the mischief ooald they steal from you, then V " 'My money P " 'You're'drunk, yom old idiot; Hi lock you in the cooler for awhile tUl you can talk sense.' " 'Gosh all fishhooks, I am talking sense, captain! Don't lock me up, but Ibtmete'l you the truth,^the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help mo George Washington.' " 'Go on, then,' said the eergeant, threateningly, 'but cat it short; I've wasted more than enough tune over you already.' "Then the old fellow told bow he bad followed the bogus detective, by devious ways and dark alleys into .a room on the top floor of a crowded teoeroent- house. There his oonductor intro­ duced him to another fictitious detec­ tive, who' appeared to the old man to be of higher rank tliaa his guide, owing to the bullying way in which he spoke, and the. deference paid him. Tikis fellow produced the oUl xnnn'c ««o from a drawer and counted it oat •lowly to him. " There's yoar money old man," 4m said, 'and the vigilance of the finest police force on earth is onee mono at­ tested. No other poaner .could have ae- covered it for you. Now tell (me, is that every cen t you lost ? Be particul ar and do not trifle with me you value your liberty. Were you robbed (rf ene oent more than the $80 f " 'No,.' replied the -old man, tremb­ ling.with delight at the recovery of his money. 'That is all, captain, $60." "Take it and go,' said the fellow, 'and be carefnl to let the samo officer who brought you heve conduct you to the railway station. Speak to no one but him, till you are safe again on your way to your country Inune, .and leave the wicked city to city fslk and the all- vwatchiul police.'

They had not gone far when • burning thirst (Seized the conductor, aud the over­ joyed old fellow was not alow to ap­ pease it More drinks followed, and rthe way to the railroad station . began to ,grow tortuous. Presently Hayseed missed his snide altogether in a crowd, and no efforts on his part av<ailsd to Jind him. The old mau got on a horse «ar, and when he put his hand in his packet to pay his fare he found that his aaoney was gone again. *'He did not understand the ease at all, eveu then, and it took the'polioe aergeant a long time to make him see that i*e had been 'played for a sueker' of the rankest kind. Finallyhe took it in and .then exclaimed: 'Well, gosh darn it all. 1 dunno which is ther slickest, the rascals that done me or the police that can see through their tricks.' , "You sea," added the detective, by the way of explanation, "one of the organized bands of criminals had spotted • the poor fellow the minute they set | eyes on his toggery and his guileless i manner.

Even one knows why Chicago knows that the Chicago girl's feet are all right; my mother-in-law paid my debts, set me up in business here, and is the best friend I have on earth except her daugh­ ter; and I have never met a talkative barber. I wonder how it happens that the newspaper reporter continually finds so many odd things that no one else ever meets?" Ill-Timcil Coflfofe. In Mrs. Collie's narrative of her voy­ age through the inland seas of the Sit- Han Archipelago she describes a some­ what exciting passage through a fleet of icebergs iu Glacier Bay. It was of the greatest importance to keep the ship moving ahead, though her advance could be measured only by inches. At one time the Captain ran half-way up tbe foremast, glasses in hand, and for some minutes, like the picture of Far- ragut iu Mobile Bay, shouted his orders to the wheel-house. After this he resumed his monoto­ nous and nervous pacing upon the bridge, all the while steering his im­ mense vessel with such dexterity and mathematical precision that as the cakes of ice were upturned and fell gracefully into our wake, it was easy to see that the course selected was always the one of least resistance. I took note of a few of the express­ ions whose magnetic influence twisted and turned us around in such beautiful curves, some of which were: "Star­ board, sirl" "Slow her!" "Why don't you slow her when I tell you ?" "Stop her!" "Go tell the engineer if he don't obey the signals quicker, the first thing-he knows he'll have one of t h e s e b o y s i n h i s e n g i n e r o o t p " H a r d - a-port, sir!" "Port her!" "Steady now I" "Keep your eye. on the com­ pass there!" *Pat an extra man at the "wheel!" In the midst of thjs strain, when the slightest error of jtidgifwrt might have been fraught with disaster, the chief steward it was his first voyage with Captain Carroll--was seen ascending the ladder with a bowl of steaming coffee. "I've brought you a cup of ooffee," said the steward, with outstretched hand. - "Take it away, sir! When I want coffee I'll send for it," shouted the skipper. What became of the steward I don't know: but I do know that a few scraps of sentences were floating aboujt the at­ mosphere for several minute3, such as: "Nice time for coffee! Port her! Steady! Pretty time to be drinking coffee! Starboard a little! Coffee, in­ deed! Slow her, sirl Slow her, I .say! Coffee!" It is proper to add, however, that a few hours later the .poor affrighted steward was addressed in different lan­ guage. "I'll take that coffee now, steward, but don't ever bother me again when Fve got my hands full." Not m i'opular Coin, There is one unpopular coin issued toy Uncle Sam, says the New York Times. It is the ffalf-dollar, and it has a tendency to work its way back into the treasury vaults, where it isn't wanted. As money nobody objects to the half, but the popular fancy is for the same value in another form. That is, the average citizen prefers to have two quarters. They are a trifle uaore convenient. If he wants to pay out half a dollar he can use the half or the 'two quarters with equal convenience, but if 25 cents is to be paid out the quarter is far the handier coin. This may not seem to be a very im­ portant matter, but it counts ia the long run. Little by little the halves find their .way back to the government vaults, and" there they stay, like poor relations. In fact, so far as cowing home in disgrace goes, tbe half-cellar is the, prodigal son of the mints. A very large proportion of the $20,- 000,000 of fractional silver on hand at Washington is made up of halves, 'This is the lot which Secretary Foster was so anxious to get rid of, and afbout which he talked.with tbe New York bankers when he made his visit here. Nobody then manifested any wild de­ sire to take the secretary's load off this shoulders. It is probable that a good many of rthe thai ves stored up iu Washington will be recoined into quarters aafii dimes. In that way they will be move con­ venient for popular use. And Mr. Foster will sleep more comfos^bably d' nights--which will be a good thing anl a benefit all around. Of course lots of halves are «aed and will continue to be used. Their coinage will be kept up and nobody will have any more difficulty in getting them than usual. But the proportion of other coins 'will be increased because the people like them better. The iiew York sub-treasury has its share of halves .on hand, and the ether day it tried to work off some of them. It was a day when pension cheeks were being paid, and nearly every one eras cashed partly in halves. Before the close of the. <day a good many of tbe halves were back in the sab-treasury. And they are there yet. f \ r ; . Froowpt and fractW^,' "It happened at Athens, dulffiga p^ lie presentation of a play in honor of the eomtnon wealth, that an old man came too late for a place suitable to his age and quality." relates a writer ia the Lutheran. "Soma of the young men, who observed the difficulty and confu- sion he was in, made signs to him that fingered members, the one who played j th^y would aceomi&odate him, if he the guide afterwarwacd, to rob him. : v^here they sat The old mau The 'swag' $80, was much less than ; bustled through the* crowd accordingly they had expected to get and they SUB- j for seat proffered him.

He had undertaken to * " show them that he was 'square' and yon have beard the clever way in which he led his simple old victim to assure the captain of the gang that $80 was'all he had lost and 'honor among thieves' was onee more exemplified, without-costing the thieves anything, as the plunder was soon back again in the gang's treasury." fore the audience. The frolic wetv* round all the Athenian beaches. Bur on these occasions there wane also par­ ticular places assigned to foreigners. So, when the old man skulked toward the boxes appointed for the Lacede­ monians, that hone3t people, more vir­ tuous than polite, rose all to a man and, with the greatest respect, received him amongst them. The Athenians, being suddenly touched with a sense of Spar­ tan virtue and their own degeneracy, gave a loud applause of admiration. Then the old man, as soon as the noise subsided, cried out: 'The Athenians understand what is good, bat the Lace- Tbo Soda Water Wink. The wink at the soda water fountain has been for years one of the best "props" of the funny man.

Black of Mo., during the part two been affected with Neuralgia of the Head, Stomach and Womb, and writes: "My food did not seem to strengthen me at all and my appe­ tite was very variable. My face was yellow, my head dull, and I had such pains in my left side. In the morning when I got up I would have a flow of mucus in the mottth, and a bad, bitter taste. Sometfaats my breath became short, and I hid such queer, tumbling, palpitating sensations around the heart. I ached all day under the shoulder blades, in the left side, and down the back of my limbs. It seemed to be worse in the wet, cold weather of Winter and Spring; and whenever the spells came on, my feet and hands would turn cold, and I could get no sleep at all. I tried everywhere, and got no relief before using August Flower Then the change came. It has done me a wonderful deal of good during the time I have taken it and is work­ ing a complete cure." ® G.
