The University of Strasburg,
founded in 1867, was reorganized in
1871. and is thus in certain sense n
monument of the new political condi-
tons. Since the reorganization over
$500, 900 has been expended for new
buildings. etc., and there is an annual
appropriation of nearly $3.50, 900 for its
support. Its new edifices are series
of magnificent palaces, and its library
contains $780, volumes. No other in
stitution in Europe has so rich a provis-
ION for higher education. 1t now has
seventy-three ordinary and nineteen ex-
traordinary professors. Last year there
were 1853 students.

DOWN TO The SEA.

know not what its course may be
Down from the mountain to the sea:
The spring I KNOW, alone and still,
Where bubblct Forth little rili.
The clear brown streamlet well know,
And how its hurrying waters flow.
At first the grasses turn TO make
softer runne for its sake;
The careless buttercup looks down
And sends petal to the town,
As, whispering to the happy day,
The brook sets forth upon its way.
Farther bright pebbles line its bed
And CLEAN and glance beneath its tread.
1t rushes through the alder shade
Nor loitcrs for the open glade.
Down swift cascades it flies and sings
Shakes the white spray in airy wings;
Then, plunging, with a dcepened roar,
Through the cleft rock its waters pour.
The solid basin far below
Is followed wide beneath its flow.
Here for a space it stops, to gain
New volume for the open plain.
At length, fuil-swelling, broad and free,
ii sets serenely toward the sea.
Beside the green, dark pool wait,
Stayed by thy warning hand, o Fatel
] may not follow, though hear
The sirens song within my ear;
Nor may, for me, the motion stay
That rolls the river on its way.
] only know its path must be
Down from the mountain to the sec.
The brook that lightly sped away
Lies wcltering ocean-wde to-day.
The child, whose days were bound with min
Is tossed and torn on life's cold brine.

Talking about funny things" said q
big bronzed, bearded man in the read
ing-room of an uptown hotel last
night, 1.-THE funniest thing ever heard
Of happened in my saw-mill out in
Michigan. We used heavy upright
saw for saving heavy timber. One day
not long ago the men had all gone to
dinner leaving the saw, which ran by
water power, going at full speed.
While We were away big black bear
came into the mill and went nosing
around. The saw caught his fur and
twitchcd him little. Bruin didn't like
this for cent, so he turned around
and fetched the saw lick with his
paw. Result: badly-cut paw, blow
with the other paw followed and it was
also cut The bear was by this time
aroused to perfect fury and rushing at
the saw caught it in his grasp and gave
tremendous hug. 1t was his last hug
and we lived on bear steaks for week.
When we came up from dinner. there
was half bear on each side Of the
saw, which was going ahead as nicely
ms though 1t had never seen . bear.
This is q fact, 90 help me, Bob." and

those manufacturers who endangerng health and life

exposures then made Disguised public and the influence

who had shot another while the latter

it is well for burglars, picI,poclcts and

they are in danger OF sudden death while
in the commission of an unlawful act.
Such criminals can be shot down with
impunity, because Willie violating the
law they fo:ieit all claims to protection
