A Students Wit.

There is nothing which 8 student dreads so much as an examination for degree. In Germany the thing is done in very peculiar and unique way. The student is invited to dinner with eight or ten grave professors-fo which din- ner, by the way, the student pays, though it must be confessed that he doesn't enjoy it very much-and after dinner for two mortal hours he tries to show the professors how many things there are in the world he doesn't know anything about. Once in while it hap pens, though very seldom, that 8 student exhibits tact enough to cover up his ignorance and manages to get on an- other subject with which he is better acquainted. When the people won- dered how certain student in Heidel- berg got his degree he explained the mystery by saying that he "led the professors up" to subject which he had studied. His examination was in natu- ral history, and he knew that one of his examiners had written two whole books and numberless magazine articles on the camel. He therefore posted him. self perfectly on the camel, but was exceedingly weak on all other subjects. To his dismay that very professor asked him to explain the structure of the fly. He talked at random for 8 few minutes, drawing a contrast between 8 fly and a caael, and then suddenly struck off into 6 long discussion of the latter animal,
 until the musty professors forgot all
 about the fly, and so got his degree.

The Indian Chief, < Woman's Dress.''

The Dead wood Pioneer says: This Indian brave, who has been taking in Deadwood and the United States Court for the past few days, and who attracts so much attention wherever he goes, is United States soldier, and took an &C., tive part in the pursuit of the fugitive Cheyennes year ago. In the fight he. had two horses shot under him and was himself wounded by bullet, which passed through the flesh of his breast and left arm. The officers advised him to go to the rear, but although bleeding profusely he stubbornly refused, and fought to the end of the battle, slaugh- tering the Cheyennes like sheep when he once got among them. He is wit ness in the Provost case, and is alto gether fine specimen of his race. His costume consists of very wide leggings of finest blue mackinaw, with broad fringe of white fur up the legs and trimmed with gold lace, beads and green cloth over this capacious mantle of the same dark blue material bordered with white fur, gold lace and braiding of many. colored beads. On his feet he wears snow-white moccasins, embroid- cred with beads of dozen hues, and rimless beaver or otter skin cap covers hls raven-black hair. Standing around upon the street he is a picturesque type of 8 strange people doomed soon to ex- tiEction.

Claiming g Fortune.

An interesting and novel suit was dis posed of by Judge Baxter, in the United States Court, at Cincinnati, involving the title to an estate of $100,0OO. In 1874 John M. Mueller, contractor for the United States Custom house in Chicago, borrowed $6O, ,OOO from James P. Morris, an old personal friend resid- ing in Ironton, Ohio. Soon after this loan, Morris, who was wealthy bache- Tor, came to Cincinnati to celebrate, with Mueller, the birthday of the latter The two drank freely, and while in wine they entered into formal agreement, which was reduced to writing, by which Morris, upon his death, was to leave to Mueller all his property, of every kind, and Mueller was to guarantee to Morris an annuity of $50, 900 year, payable quarterly. About year later, Morris visited his former home in Wales, and while there died. Hearing of his death, Mueller, who had paid none of the promised annuity, immediately pro- duced the agreement, and claimed the entire estate. The heirs who live in Wales brought suit to have the agree ment set aside, on the ground that the two men were drunk when it was made, and that Mueller never fulfilled his part of it. Judge Baxter ordered the agree. ment annulled and the property dis tributed among Morris's legal heirs.

" Vaseline."

A new product made from petroleum is jelly called "V aseliness" which is ot the greatest utility in medicine, phar- macy and for toilet use. Physicians all over the world have discovered its great value in the treatment of wounds, burns, skin diseases, rheupatism, catafrh and every ailment where liniment Is need cd, and ine almost every hospital In America and Europe this substance ts now in constant use, and is acknowl- edged not only to be the best treatment, but also one of the most important re- cent additions to medicine. It Is put up in bottles by the Ohesebrough Manu- featuring O., of New York, and as family remedy, it is without 1oubt the best in use. Its healing and pain allay- ing qualities being superior to those of any known substance, while the speedy relief it affords for piles and chilblains is almost magical. As an emollient, Vaseliue is way ahead of anything else, as 1t renders the skin smooth, soft and clear. and our lady friends will find 1t not only the best, but perhaps the sole substance which will really preserve and restore to the complexion the hues of youth, making the cheek like velvet
 nkAA uAk0 oA&A AAO c6pAAs AhO OO%AAkAS@- ion powders in common use, are. as . rule, injurious to the skin and destruc-

PonnAde Vase line, ;" which is said to be of great bene- 1t to the hair, keeping it soft and glos- ", preventing and curing dandraM, ana keeping the scalp healthful and free from disease, and from those objsction- able c1eattres which sometimes. find a dwelling there. Numberless instances are cited of how by the use of this po- made thin and falling hair has resumed vigorous growth. Both the pure VaseIine and the pomad9 are put up in swenty five cent bottles and are to bo found at all frst-class druggists, and we advise our readers to make a trial of this wonderful substance, and we think they
 will find it's claims to merit not in the

Those Mammoth Farms,

The St. Paul Pioneer Press gives ae the cause of the development of the few large farms of Minnesots and Dakota, the circumstance that when, owing to the failure of Jay Cooke & Co.,, the bonda of the Northern Pacific Company, con- vertible into lands, depreciated to few cents on the dollar. many heavy holders, as well as small ones, caught at the chance of exchanging comparatively worthless bonds for the rich lands of the Red River Valley. By this means sev eral large blocks of land fell into the hands If wealthy capitalists, two or three of whem were induced by Mir. Dsl- rymple to let him make an experiment which has proved successful on a great farm f his own-that of batting several thousand of fboge acres into wheat. Other large farms in southwestern Min nesota grew out Of the similar oircum- stance of the possession If large tracts of railroad land hy the resident stoc&hold- CTS of tte s.. Paui and Sioux City road. The land was lying idle for lack of pur- chasers, and the owners endeavored to make it profitable by putting extensive areas of 1t nnder cultivation.

How Big is Man [

The Scienti1c NesOs says: Somehow when Q mans mind becomes really en- larged-say, like that of Baron Hum boldt, and he is able to place in focus more and more of the cosmos of which he forms part, the things he at the outset of his life regards as the largest get smaller and smaller, till at last that erst immense and overwhelmingly i'm portant thing, himself, becomes 90 in- significant that it is only through pro- cess of mental microscopy he can dis cern his little identity among the ami malcul@ that float, swim, or wriggle acros the field of view. How big is a man, anyway? We'll, heis smaller than an elephant, and an elephant is smaller than mountain, and mountain is small CT than the, world, ard the world is g mustard seed compared with the sun, and the sun itself is mere mote in the dust cloud of .spheres that stretches out through the universe beyond the reach of thought. Suppose we could make an ex- act modelaof the earth eighty feet in dia- meter. Eighty feet in diameter would be pretty large ball as balls go on the face of. this planet. Assume, for the sake of easy, calculation, the diameter of the earth to be exactly 5000 miles and let us proceed to build our model to scale. A mountain five miles high should repre- sent on our model 1-SO0, ,0O0th of 80 feet or 6.10 of an inch. An elephant built in proportion should be IA, Tooth of an inch sin height, and an average man 7-52, ,8OOth of an inch tall. An army of 26, 400 such men standing shoulder to shoulder in single straight rank would require their general to gallop over a space of one inch to pass them all under review. With smart horse of propor- tionate size, ridden at brisk gallop, he could accomplish this distance in about an hour. Viewed in this wsy man is @ mere mite crawling over the face of the globe, yet he has had the arrogance to think the universe was formed for him more than for the other insects, and that the Ruling Intelligence had him pre- eminently in view in bringing order out | of chaos.

What the Newspaper Does.
FEW SOUND woRDs TO THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE READ AD. VERTISEMENTR

ACHIEVEMENTS.
 There is now and then, says the Rochester Union, 8 person 50 stupid as to believe that advertisements Tn the newspapers are not generally read, and that money expended in advertising is practically wasted. Even such will con- cede that if 8 hundred men of polite address. of fluent speech and ready wit, were to call, daily or weekly, each upon an hundred others and get the ears of each long enough to say John Smith, or Jones, or Thompson, at such place, has such and such goods at such prices, or would sell 8 farm, or house and lot, or had lost horse or pocket-book, or would loan money, etc., we say such men will concede that the services of this one hundred men would be of great value to Smith or Jones, and in some measure advantageous to the party to hundred men could not be employed to go from door to door and make this statement to ten thousand people at less than cost of several hundred dollars each trip. All this is done by the newspapers at cost of afew shillings, or a few dollars at most, and the visits are made week after week, day after day. The messenger who travels ad- dresses himself to. the ear, and takes the party addressed when he may have his thoughts absorbed in business or other matters but the newspaper reaches the party sought through the eye, when the reader has his thoughts solely fixed upon the paper before him. =.
 But those who affect to believe that there is little use in advertising urge, as an objection, that advertisements are not read. They can be easily convinced of their error in this respect by making inquiry. Let them insert an advertise ment offering to purchase some article that is tolerably plenty in the market, and they will be flooded with offers to sell before the ink of the advertisement is dry. An enterprising weekly that has circulation of one, two, or three thousand copies, is in position to do the village merchant great good, and for which, as rule, the publisher does not get one- fourth of what he justly deserves. In it's sphere, the weekly is of quite as much service to the advertiser as is the daily, and oftentimes it enjoys the privilege of being the exclusive family visitor, privilege the daily seldom has.

Who the Popes Were.

Eighty of the popes, says the Oatho- Iic Tunes, are honored saints, thirty-one martyrs and forty-three oonfessors. St. Agatho was the only pope who lived to be 8 centenarian, as he is also the only one, after St. Peter, who may be hon. ored with the title of miracle worker. St. Agatho died at the age of 107 years, in 682, having reigned three years, SIX months and fifteen days. Gregory Tx. died at the age of 98 years Celestine III. and Gregory XII., at the age of 92; John XXII., at the age of 90; Clement XII., at the age of 88 years, and Clem- ent X. and Plus TX. at the age of Se.
 The popes have been drawn from all classes of society. Nineteen were sons or near relatives of princes; an equal number came from llustrious familiest Many were nobles in rank, or of great wealth. Others sprang from obscurity. Sixtus VI. was the son of fisherman. Alexander V. was the son of poor, un- known parents, and passed his first years Il begging from door to door, Adrian w., the only English Pope, was aban- doned by his father and had to subsis on charity, until, going to France, he entered a convent as servant, where by his intelligence and virtue, he was after wards deemed worthy to be received in- to religion. Sixtus V. had for his father poor laborer, for his mother, servant and for sister laundress. St. Celeg- tine V. was son of a simple farmer. Benedi3t XII. was the child of 8 baker. Urban IV had carpenter for a father, as also had Gregory VII.
 Five of the popes had studied medi- cine before taking holy orders. Bene- dict XL. was the child of 8 notary. Ju- Illus III. was the descendant of famous jurisconsult. Pelagius I. was the son of the prefect of his province. Paul V. had for his father patric1an of Sienna, and Eugene w., Gregory XII. and AL exander VII. belonged to patrician fami- lies of Venice. Whatever their origin, however, they no sooner aooeded to the chair of St. Peter than they displayed great wisdom, great charity and great piety.
