DURING the past year the professor
Of aesthetics in the University of Mu-
Mich, q proverbially wearisome writer,
delivered his lectures to somewhat
exiguous audience. There were five
students in all, who week by week
melted and grew beautifully less, until
at last but one was left This solitary
individual, however, seemed to concen-
trate in his own person all the dill
gence, application, and punctuality OF
his frivolous fellows. At the conclu-
sion of the last lecture of the course
the Professor approached him and
praised him for these admirable quail
ties, and proceeded to inquire of him
"What is your name, my young friend ~
No answer. what country are you
from?" Absolute silence. The matter
was soon elucidated, for it was discov
cred that the patient and perseverine
disciple was poor deaf mute, who had
taken refuge from the severe cold o.
winter in the warm lecture rooms o.
the university.

THE most successful of all the manu-
facturers and vendors of patent medi-
cines" is dead Thomas Holloway will
make no more pills and ointments. He
entered life in the first year of the pres
ent century, and departed it last month.
He commenced business ut an early
age, and continued it until almost the
time of his death. His father died when
he was child, but he managed to &C
quire sufficient education to become
private secretary and interpreter to a
London gentleman. He married early,
and found that he needed more money
than he could earn with his pen. An
old German woman, it is said, gave his
mother the recipe for making the famous
pills and ointment, and the young man
concluded that there was money in
them" He commenced business with
less than 5000, of which sum he spent
$500 in advertising the first week. Dur
ing several years he spent most of his
time going about the London docks
calling the attention of masters of YES
sells to his remedies for the various ills
of life. For fifty years he kept his
medicines before the people" He adj
vertised his wares in al the papers in
Great Britain and her various colonies.
His advertisements were modest, but
conspicuous. He paid regular rates,
and asked for no discounts for the req
son that he was q continuous advertiser.
During many years past he paid f5, 600
per week for advertising his pills and
ointment. His practice was to "pay
cash down for everything Some forty
years ago he was induced by one news
paper publisher to advertise on credit.
He was not able to settle the bill on
time, was sued, and went to Jail. This
taught him lesson that he never for
got His dinner often depended on his
selling q pot of ointment or a box Of
pills, but he chose hunger to getting in
debt. He insisted that none of his en-
ployes should get in debt to the amount
of q farthing. His net annual income
for many years was S25O,0OO. His for
tune is estimated at $40, 100000. 1t APP
pears that he was one of the most
benevolent men who ever lived in En-
gland. His gifts to the poor of London,
it is said, were greater than those OF
George Peabody. He never, however,
allowed knowledge of them to come
to the public, and appeared fearful that
some one would think that he was get
ting some gratuitous advertising If an
account of his contributions to public
and private charities were published.
Now that he is dead, the public learn
of the extent of his benevolence. BY
his will he leaves an enormous sum to
endow London hospital that he had
long supported.

AN italian professor at the University
of Paris has been compiling some
statistics relative to tho comparative
mortality of European armies. The re-
suit, so far as the professors own
country is concerned, is alarming. He
finds that of every 10000 men 81 die
annually in the German army, 81 In
the English, 90 in the French, 1l2 in
the Austrian, and 116 in the italian.
The proportion of deaths in the Ger
man army would thus appear to be
much lower than in any other, and it
becomes very small indeed if we count
only the deaths from natural causes,
for an enormous number of deaths in
the German army are suicides. On the
other hand, the mortality among all
classes of the population is 217 per
10000 in England, 244 in France, 269
in Germany. Much more care is APP
parently taken of the health of the
soldiers of the Fatherlsnd than of its
private citizens. The higher rates of
mortality in the English and French
armies are probably due to the risks
run by troops stationed in tropical and
malarious countries. The excessive
mortality among the Austrian and
italian soldiers is no doubt partly due
to the very high death rate among the
population generally of the two
| countries.
