EDUCATION BY TELEPHONE.

with great gravity, that at
the German Universities
Heidelberg, G ottin g en-,
Bonn-on-the-Rhine, and Ber-
lin especially-what may be
called the usage, so far as
lectures are concerned, has
been for a number of students
to get together and appoint
one of their number dele
gate to a certain lecture.
Sometimes u class would
choose delegates for a week.
In this way, instead of sixty
or seventy young men rush
ing to a lecture, two solitary
figures, the one the class del
egate, the other the professor,
would, at the ring of the bell,
wend their way toward the
lecture-room. Thus, a pro-
fessor suddenly looking up
from his notes, and not motto
ing the scantiness of his au-
dience, was once known to
have begun with "Gentle-
men," and then-the solitary
audience having coughed to
assert his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
rected himself, and began
again with "Sir." When
the lecture was finished, the
man delegated to hear it
hurried back to the Studenten-
k1aeiy, where his classmates
gathered, and told them all
he had been able to gather of
the Herr Professors lecture.
But this plan, though the
best devised up to the pre-
sent time, had some serious
defects, and a new system
was sought which, on the
advent of the telephone, was
discovered and adopted.
The student is no longer
dependent on what a single
man may chance to hear of
a lecture. A man who has
been up all night at a ball,
though he be responsible to
sixty or a hundred of his
mates, may go to sleep i'll the
middle of a lecture OF doze
all through it. The dele
gate may-indeed it has not
infrequently happened-get
the incoherent utterances of
those he met at the midnight
supper mixed up with what
he heard the professor say
during his lucid moments,
and thus his classmates get
some extraordinary ideas of
the particular subject of which
the lecture wac an elucidation.
But when every man of them
has a telephone to his ear,
and hears for himrelf every
word the Herr Professor ut
ters, all such things are inn
possible. Again, the festi-
vities of student life may
know no cessation from morn
till dewy eve, from eve till
twilight.
The keeper of this public
house-to speak more partic-
ularly, studentenknepe - has
had his beer cellar connected
by telephone with the various
lecture rooms, and the
studious young men who are
his guests, are dutifully listen
ing to every word the Herr
Professor is saying. One OF
the number, though he wants
some more beer, will not
hazard the loss Of a single
word by putting aside the
instrument in order to ask fol
the beverage. Instead OF
doing this, he mutely waves
his mug aloft with one hand
while he holds the telephone
faithfully to his ear with the

somewhat liberal supply of
that sacchaline but innu-
tritious article known in the
idiom of our own BoWery as
"taffy." This is the very
apex of scientific accomplish
ment, this the very acme of
economy of time and labor.
And what is this that these
young men are listening to
with such interest? 1t is a
lecture on Political Science,
and should you put your ear
to the telephone you would
hear frequent repetitions of
such pondrous phrases as
FeamdshytsbeEig Dille-
tantcna,Jd5fngIichkeiten, 80dt-
0crordnetcngySGmn'l,mgen, Alter
huDlSviSScnschatten, KIN der
bewahyumgsmStaHen. The effect
of such words on those not
accustomed to them-Ameri-
can and English students
has often been of a serious
nature. Under the present
system, however, this is
changed; the patients-that
is to say, the students-take
in the lecture and beer at the
same time, and are not likely
to be overpowered, The Reolea0
thinks the idea so happily hit
upon by the German students
of being educated by tele-
phone, has by no means been
thoroughly developed as yet.

THE JUDGES.

Governor Harrison will have the appoint ment of two Superior court judges, one to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Culver, and the other to be the successor of Judge Hovey, whose term will end by the le- gal limitation of age next summer Some of the Democrats are apparently much distress ed by the fear that Governor Harrison will not do his duty in this matter The Hart ford Times thus deals with the subject: There are now eight Republican to only three Democratic judges, and fairness re- quires, while the principle which ordained the 1880 amendment demands, that both ap- pointments should be made from the Demo- cratic side. That amendment took the ap- pointing power out of the hands of the leg islature and gave it to the governor-and this was done, according to the declaration of that time, for the sake of the probability that the change would tend to more nearly equalize the bench, politically and get the appointment of the judges out of party politics. Right and fairness require that both appointments should be made from the Democratic side and even then there would be seven Republi- cans to four Democrats on the bench.
 And the Times also mentions that the Hon. William Hamersley of Hartford would make good judge. The Register of this city is apparently not much disturbed as it's es- tee1ned Hartford contemporary is, but it does believe that the next governor will make two judges out of good Democrats All such talk this is idle When MT. Harrison comes to the appointment of judges he will do the best he can for the people of the state.

Chewing Gum fin Patagonia.

IfFOLu LnS 10Hl10IIiduS mdSaZiu6l
 To fit it for use the natives make it into pellets, then hold it on the point of stick over basin of cold water; a coal of fire is then approached to it, causing it to melt and trickle down by drops into the basin. The drops, hardened by the process, are then kneaded with the fingers, cold water being added occasionally, till the gum becomes thick and opaque like putty. To chew it properly requires 8 great deal of practice, and when this indigenous art has been ac quired a small ball of malzen may be kept in the mouth two or three hours every day, and used for week or longer without losing it's agreeable resinous flavor or diminishing in bulk, so firmly does it hold together. The maken chewer on taking the ball or quid from his mouth washes and puts it by for future use, just as one does with a tooth brush. Chewing gum is not merely an idle habit, and the least that can be said in it's fa- for is that it allays the desire for excessive smoking-no small advantage to the idle dwellers, white or red, in this desert land; it also preserves the teeth by keeping them free from extraneous matter, and gives them such pearly lustre as I have never seen out side of this region. My own attempts at chewing maken have, so far, proved signal oOmSuOW In0 gum spreads itself in thin coat over the interior of my mouth, covering the palate like a sticking plaster and inelosing the teeth in a stubborn rubber case. Nothing will serve to remove it when it comes to this pass but raw suet vigorously chewed for half an hour, with occasional sips of cold water to harden the delightful mixturs and induce it to come away The culminatien of the mess is when the gum spreads over the lips and becomes entangled in the hairs that overshadow them; and when the closed mouth has to be carefully opened with the fingers, until these also becoms sticky and hold together firmly as if united by membrane. All this comes about through the neglect of simple pre- caution, and never happens to the accom- plished masticator who is to the manor born. When the gum is still fresh occasion ally it loses the quality of stiffness artificial ly imparted to it, and suddenly, without rhyme or reason, retransforms itself into the raw material as it came from the tree The adept, knowing by certain indications when this is about to happen, takes mouthful of cold water at the critical moment, and so averts a result so discouraging to the novice. Maken- chewing is habit common to every body throughout the entire territory of Pat agonia, and for this reason I have described the delightful practice at some length.

Dr. O. W. Wight is the author of timely work entitled ''Maxims of Public Health, :" which treats of sanitation in towns and ci- ties. As an outbreak of Asiatic cholera in this country next spring is feared it will be well for the people generally, as well as health officers in our large cities, to inform themselves of the rules of health. This book is one which should be widely consulted. The author gives the results of six years of personal experience in sanitary administra- tion, dwelling most upon those things that are practically of greatest importance and least upon speculative schemes. He con- cludes that the whole family of the epidemic foes of mankind can be banished by isolation and cleanliness The book is published by D.

It will. be interesting to see "the Athens of America" trying to struggle along under a mayor who is gifted with that fine old Greek name O'Brien.
 The death of an old blind beggar at Pitts burg and the consequent discovery of some five thousand dollars of boarded wealth affords another argument against indiscrim- mate street charity, and in favor of those organized systems of relief which truly be- nevolent persons have formed.
 The Berlin Cabmen's Trade Union has started a newspaper called Der Draschken- been published The life of the Berlin 'bus conductor is not a happy one, it seems. This servant of one of the wealthiest Ger man companies-the shareholders of which have good reason to call themselves blessed works eighteen hours every day seven days week, bears the full responsibility for ey- cry coin that passes through his hands, and is heavily fined for any irregulsrity. For this he receives daily pay of about 60 cents. Should the bus conductor ever think of going to church, he pays his company for the privilege; should he fall i'll his pay is lost at once, and as for his meals he swallows them, such as they are, while waiting for passengers at an omnibus station.

A Sleeping Lion.

An atmosphere of peace and quiet perva- ded Hitchcocks, the Delmonico's of Park row, at midnight, and various car drivers, printers, news vendors and night hawks were partaking of coffee and beef and beans in serenity and contentment. A very tall, 8 very heavy and very gaudy gentleman, with big plaid trousers, big diamond, silk hat and shiny boots, entered, sat down at table and called for beef and beans, coffee and two pieces of pie. These he consumed and then dropped into gentle doze over his tooth pick A waiter observed his slumber and tapped him on the shoulder.
 ''This ain't no bedroom" the waiter said. The qaudy gentleman was so surprised that he failed to find his voice for several sec onds. Then he uttered tremendous oath that caused ti1nid man at the next table to spill his coffee.
 s'Do you know what you've dones" he shouted to the waiter. "You've walked 8 sleeping lion. If I begin to clean out this place it's your fault. You begun it. Can't gentleman close his eyes after hss dinner without being insulted?" The candy gentleman arose with terrible glare in his eye, and walked up to the table where the timid man sat- He thumped the table with his fists and said in an aggressive tone:
 tsI'm sleeping lion'' .Yes. sir. |" responded the timid man very I meekly.
 The gaudy gentleman walked to another table where three men were devouring beef ] and beans.
 teDid hear one of you fellows say that you wanted to get into row?" he inquired.
 stNo, sir" replied the three men, politely. He returned to the timid man and said: 'rm 8 Democrat and I'm worth one hun dred and fifty thousand dollars" stYes, sir," responded the timid man, humbly.
 Then the gaudy gentleman walked up to l the cashiers desk and threw down his thirty cent check and silver quarter ttFiye cents morei' said the little cashier, quietly.
 ssFive cents more, eh?'' sneered the gaudy gentleman. s'Well, twenty-five cents is all | you'll get" ssFiYe cents more," repeated the small cashier, in the same tone.
 stThat's all you'll get," said the gaudy gen 1 tleman, pointing to the quarter. | ='tAre you going to give me that five eentsa 1 inquired the small cashier, grimly. t1How many times dye want me to tell yol | that hain't9' responded the gaudy gentle
 man. "You take that quarter or nothing I'm an old sport, am."
 The small cashier bounded over the coun ter, seized the gaudy gentleman by the tnroa and drew back his fist -
 "Gimme five cents,'' he said, 'or II pound the head off you!'' | oHold on, said the gaudy gentleman
 meekly. ssWhat's the use of making kicl
 about five centss"
