Excessive PAliianess.

The Saxons are very polite people,
so over-polite that they not infreqeunt'y
bring down ridicule upon themselves.
1t used to be told in Dresden in Cau
aeur's student days that stranger in
the city was one day crossing the great
bridge that spans the Elbe, and accosted
a native with request to be directed to
certain church which he wished to
find. Really, my dear SIR" said the
Dresdener, bowling low, "I grieve
greatly to say it, but cannot tell you. 4"
The stranger passed on, little surpris-
ed at this voluble answer to simple
question. He had proceeded but few
rods when he heard hurried footsteps
behind him, and turning saw the same
man running to catch up with him. In
q moment his pursuer was at his side,
his breath nearly gone, but enough left
to say "My dear sir, you asked me
how you could find the church, and it
panied me to have to say that did not
know. Just now I met my brother and
asked him, but I grieve to say that he
did not know either. y Rost0n Tran

The Mysterious e Her,

Philadelphia possesses a mystery in
the shape of an invisible benefcent
fairy, who writes cramped hand, works
by means of the postoffice instead of
wands, magic lamps, etc., and sends its
gifts in cheap yellow envelopes to the
needy poor, orphan-asylums and hospi-
tails, with no sign of it's identity inside
beyond the single word " Her,"
These gifts of "Hez are magnificent
in proportion, and bestowed with great
wisdom and the keenest insight into
the necessities of each case. "Hez" is
supposed to be some eccentric and
charitable millionaire, who means to
put his money to good uses while he is
alive, and not to leave it for trustees and
executors to quarrel over when he is
dead.
If there is an eccentricity in giving
money while the giver is alive, and not
by legacy, rich men will do well to
initiate it. Many posthumous requests
In this country have failed utterly to
reach the class for whom they were in
tended.
Edwin Forrest bequeathed his i'm
mense property to support home for
aged actors, and but one old man has
ever enjoyed the stately mansion and
its luxuries. There is scarcely town
or city in the country which has not its
testimony to give of charitable legacy
which has failed to answer the purpose
Of it's testator.
Trustees and executors are open to
temptation, and the care of large, un-
protected trust is the strongest one
which can be thrown in their way.
" Hez " is wise to distribute his tens of
thousands himself, and to do it without
the delay of day.
About ten years ago man of vast
wealth was showing to friend his COL
lection of historical pamphlets, which
was the finest in the country.
81 am going to give them to the
Pennsylvania historical society,"" he
said, "and this branch of my library to
the Franklin library. I have no family,
as you know, and intend to give away
all that L have before die, leaving my
self only comfortable annuity. I have
no faith in posthumous charity"
when do you intend to do it?"
asked his friend.
He hesitated. Next month; I shall
not put it off. As soon as return from

He started that evening for st. Louis.

How Drinking Produces ApOplexy.

1t is the essential nature of all wines
and spirits to send an increased amount
of blood to the brain. The first effect
OF taking a glass of wine, or stronger
form of alcohol, is to send the blood
there faster than common hence the
circulation that gives the red face. 1t
increases the activity of the brain, and
it works faster, and 30 does the tongue.
But, as the blood goes to the brain
faster than common, it returns faster.
and no special harm results. But, sup.
pose man keeps on drinking, the blood
is sent to the brain SO fast, in such
large quantities that, in order to make
room for it, the arteries have to enlarge
themselves they increase in size, and.
in doing SO, they press against the more
yielding faced veins which carry the
blood out of the brain, and thus dimin-
ish their size, their pores, the result
being that blood is not carried to the
arteries of the brain faster than is
natural or healthful, but it is prevented
from leaving it as fast as usual hence
a double set of causes of death are in
operation. Hence man may drink
enough OF brandy or other spirits in a
few hours, or even minutes, to bring on
a fatal attack of apoplexy. This ia.
literally, being dead drunk. DR., Hall.

College Faz'ng.


Charles F. Thwing. has an article in
Scribaer, from which we quote: In
order TO abolish hazing il is first ne
cessary to create a college sentiment
which opposes il. The means of Great.
ing this sentiment are as numerous as
those by which any change in either
public or college opinion is promoted.
The exertion of stronger moral and re-
hglous influences, a more intimate as
ISOLATION OF professors and students,
and a stricter demand for high scholar.
ship, indicate, in general, the best
methods.
A more rigid execution of college
laws regarding the offense would also
tend to abolish hazing. These laws are
in their letter sufficiently severe either
expulsion or suspension is the penalty
usually affixed to their infraction. But
in their actual execution, college au-
thorities are proverbially remiss. The
student. when Sil medals res of his Of
Tense, feels assured that, if detected, the
influence of his friends and his own
promises of good behavior will return
him to college. A case has lately come
to my notice in which sophomore was
expelled for aiding in tying freshman
to the bell-knob of house of lady
with whom the freshman was acquainted.
The sufferer was naked. He could not
move to release himself without ringing
the BELL. For this outrageous offense
the culprit was expelled, but by the in
fuence of his family and family friends
the penalty was revoked. To Danish
hazing the governing boards must en-
force the laws with unconditional Sc
verify.
There is, however, milder method
which, properly applied, will usually
execution. 1t is the method that Har-
ward college adopted in the autumn of
1872. At the opening of that college
year the faculty proposed an agreement
for the sophomore and freshmen classes
that they would abstain from indulging
IN all those annoyances usually included
in the term hazing. So far as can be
learned, every member of the two
classes, over three hundred in number,
signed it. This simple process ended
hazing at Cambridge. The sophomores
of 187273 did not haze, and the sopho-
mores of the next year, bound by the
agreement and not having been hazed,
had no injured honor to vindicate, and
the succeeding freshmen were not
molasted.
With the opening of the present COL
lege year, Yale, too, passed law which
has proved remarkably effective in
crushing the anti-freshman proclivities
of the sophomores. Any student, the
law states, who is guilty of hazing, shall
withdraw from his own class and enter
that Immediately below. Already, am
informed, two or three sophomores, in
consequence of breaking it. have been
compelled to enter the freshman class.
The method is an excellent one. 1t
strikes at the root of the evil by empha-
sizing the disgrace inherent in it. But
either this method or the procedure en-
ployed by the Cambridge college can,
believe, be used, if applied with discre-
ton, by every college in the United
States; and it would undoubtedly serve
to wipe out the annually-recurring
shame.
