He Stopped the Car.
Fall River Advance.

The car was going down vSTench's hill, and there were a fcw Jovial passengers aboard. Al Prospect street a lady got out A young man, who, with few oi his friends. were having bit of quiet fun and had evidently been enjoying them selves, said: "lll bet cigars for the crowd that I'll stop the car w;ihoa, ring iog the bell, speaking to inc driver or conductor or asking anyone to stop it."
 |" Oa. you'll go outside and slap hold of the brake. You're too smart, you are,7 remarked one oi his companions, smilingly. "Youl cut yourself if you don't mind"
 No, siree, I'll do no such thing. I'll neither touch the brake, nor ask anyone to touch l, for me and l won't ask any. body to stop the car"
 The bet was taken.
 Up jumped the car-stopper, and seiIing one of ,he straps, tugged a. it as hard as he could.
 The conductor saw him and concluded that the man was 3 greenhorn who wanted to get out and was yanking at the wrong tag. He stopped the car and threw open the door

 The door slammed, and the conductor said something as he leaned against the rear brake. lt was something not very complimentary to such darned fooIing.
 Bu, the man had won his bet. He had stopped the car.

 tAat these organizations are responsible for good deal of fully and mischief in this direction |; but 1t is possible t0 ex, aggerate both. Comparisons that do no' take into consideration national peculi- arities are grossly misleading. The Ger man of all classes and ages goes to his "Glsthaus in the evening and drinks his two or three glasses of beer without being, or being thought, any the worse for it-in fact, he would be con sideFed eccentric if he did not and the German student, tn attending his Kneipe twice week, simply follows the example o( his elders. With regard to giving satis- faction" as it is called, the university authorities seem se have come to very wise determination in con6ning their efforts to keeping the practice within safe bounds, rather than in attempting to suppress it altogether. lp central and southern Europe dueis are a recognized mode of settling certain qulrrels, and only a feS months ago an Austrian officer was dismissed by the emperor for refusing to accept a challenge Dueling -is not in those countries, opposed ;o public opinion as is Is, for example. n England; and so long as this is the case It IS impossible to stamp It ou, among the young and hot-blooded portion ot the nation. The university council merely see to 1t that the duels take place under conditions which render fatal consequenc. es practically out of the question. and for the rest. leave the practice to die ou, by it's own absurdity, which il uncoub,- edly will before very long.
 lt need scarcely be sad that the whole of oaI German students life is not passed in such vanities as have just been de scrlbed. On the contrary, he spends a considerably greater proportion of hiS time in real hard work than his English brother. To be allowed to enter the turnlentenexsmen before leaving school -an examination the stiffness of which would open the eyes ot some of those who discourse on overpressute in this country, and the degree examination in any of the faculties IS anything but a formality. The choice Of professors and the attendance on lectures is practically lett to the discretion ot the student, who in this, as in most matters, is Jeff to do very much as he pleases, every one be- ing credited with suffiQeni sense of re- sponsIbility to insure his sooner or later taking to serious work In Germany there are few or none of those multifari- ous "openings for shlf,less youths such as are provided by our colonial empire, for ex' ept among the laboring classes, emigration in Germany is almost unknown. The student has, therefore, to face the fact that if he fails m passing g through the university creditably he loses almost every chance of getting on Tn the future

Poetry Everywhere.
Merchant Traveller.

Henrv was an editor, and Maude was poetic young woman, with whom he was more or less in love. They were out last Sunday breathing the clear air of the hills, enjoying the beautiful coiors, with which nature was painting the trees. and in various ways luxuriating in the har- monious holiday of Sunday afternoon.
 "Oh, Henry" she exclaimed rap,uT- ously, isn't this lovely r
 "Qdite delightful" he responded some- what enthusiastically.
 Just see the hills, Henry, in all the shades and tinis that the painter knows. What a soft, hay blue the air assumes, aud what restful quiet there is every where"
 "Yes, Maude, ii is frs, class"
 |" It is time, Henry, full of poetry. There is poetry in the woods, there is poetry in the running water, there is poetry in the rough old trees, there is poetry in the cattle in the fields, there is poetry in everything"
 "Yes, Maude, darling, there is poetry in everything, even in my wasse-basket bushels of #, dear. Let's 90 and get a square meal at that farm house over wonder"

 Even the highest genius must some times bonow-or at least appropria.e C the hints ot others. Few, however, could make so fine use of a hint as Dickens could. The true story of the origin of "Oliver Twist" is not gen. erally known. It is this: After the amazing success of the Pickwick Papers" Dickens was thinking of follow ing it up with story of London lie, with which he was more familiar than with English country life. Just about that time he happened to visit the studio of George Cruikshank, and was shown some drawings the latter had made illustrating the career of London thief There was a sketch of Fagin's den, with the Artful Dodger and Master Charley Bates pic lures of Bill Sikes and his dog, and Nancy Sikes, and, lastly, Fagin in the condemned cell. Dickens "a. mnch struck by the power of these character sketches, and the result was that he changed the whole plot of "Oliver Twist" Instead of taking him through spirifless adventures in the country, he introduced him into the thieves den in London, showed up their life of sin, but brought his hero through pure and unde- filed Thus it will be seen that George Cruikshank, not Charles Dickens, was the originator of the leading characters tha, appear in " Oliver Twist"
