studying in Germany.

From observation should say that
the average age of Americans studying
ut the German universities is twenty
five A graduate of one of our coli
leges or leading academies is ready to
get and appreciate the best that the
universities offer, as well as to observe
and weigh the political and social ele-
ments in which he moves. His vaca-
ton travel is itself delight and an
education. The benefits of such study
to men are so well understood that to
point them out more in detail would be
needless. But practical information
as to the conditions of study, as to
courses and degrees, is so vague, and in
newspapers and magazines often so
erroneous, that some facts may be
given here. The graduate of any
American college may mraticulatc. in
full standing, at German university
on the presentation of his diploma and
a passport. These take the place of
the certificate of maturity (Naturitats-
zeugnass) from the gymnasium or real
school, which the German candidate
must submit. Men who have no col
lege diploma may attend lectures and
have access to all privileges, but they
may not become candidates for de-
gree There is an impression that
American students must encounter spe-
cial difficulties in seeking :, degree, and
that few succeed in gaining it. This
is an error. Many students do not
choose to take the required subsidiary
studies, lying perhaps outside of their
special field, and hence d. not try to
get the degree. But it is q fact that
fewer difficulties beset the American
in this quest than the German himself.
The university is the regular and es-
sential avenue to the professions and
many civil careers, and competition is
very keen. But the faculties well know
that the American does not seek pro-
motion on German soil; they recognize
the compliment of his long pilgrimage
to their shrines, and they are willing
to encourage him, avoiding the appear
ance of anything like protcctivetariff:

Rub-A.Dub! Rub-A-Dub!

The snare dunn of familiar use-and
OF particularly familiar use during the
last months of two sorts, designated
as the "Prussian' and the regulation, !"
says the New York San. Both sorts
are in use, but the Prussian pattern of
late years has got rather the better of
its rival. The differences between the
two are these: The regulation drum is
fifteen inches deep, and is strung with
cord, and hangs at the side from a
shoulder belt. The Prussian drum is
eight inches deep, is strung by metal
rods which are worked by key, and
hangs from the waist belt, hollow
rest further supporting it on the knee.
Maiden lane is the great warehouse
for snare drums, which are manufac-
tured all about. They are classed with
musical instruments, and are sold by
those who sell guitars, violins, flutes,
etc. There are seven such wholesale
houses in Maiden lane.
The round body of the snare-drum is
called the shell. 1t is made of brass,
plain or nickel plated, or of BIRDS
maple, mahogany, rosewood or white
holly. The heads of the snare-drum
are made of calfskin or sheepskin.
Sheepskin is used in cheap drums for
children. The drum seen in the bands
has calfskin head sixteen inches in
diameter. The skin is prepared with
great care, in order that all the fatty
parts may be removed, and that there
may be no flaws in it.
The drum of the Prussian model, as
has been said, is frightened with metal
bars instead of cord. The bars are SIM
pie screws, and are worked with key.
The regulation model has the old
fashioned cording and the leather ears
or braces. The ends of the cord are
secured, in what is called drummer's
knot-about as incomprehensible
knot as there is. The purpose of the
knot is to regulate the length of the
cord, and it does this in sin gular IA
cile fashion, growing larger or smaller,
and taking up or letting out slack
under merely the simplest manipula-
ton.
The ordinary drum has further seven
snares made of catgut, and frightened
nowadays by simple apparatus called
snare-strainer. The snare-strainer is
not many years old, but drummers now
call it necessity. Drummers in the
war Of the rebellion got along without
it. Finally, every snare-drum has a
little hole in the she'll called a vent. If
it were not for this the drum-head
would burst at tho first good tap.
Snare-drums, Prussian or regulation,
cost from 49, to $1,000. The ordinary
drummer perfcrs, perhaps, $40 drum
with mahogany she'll. Drum sticks
are made of rosewood, cocoawood, and
ebony, the two woods last named being
preferred.

Whittier and kI..ln,es.

Mr.. Whittier and DR.. Holmes are now
our patriarchs of song. But it is in

verses of Whittier have the same up-
changed quality and graphic simplicity

penetrating pathos and New England
vigor, which have been always his. For

Good Advice on Reading.

There is, perhaps, no greater wonder
than book. BY the help of little fig
ures or marks placed upon reeds or
skins or some other available material
men have been able to transmit their
thoughts through thousands of years.
The names and shapes of things, the
deeds and sorrows that have occurred as
far back as the time of Adam have been
made known to us. Even those alb
stract and invisible thoughts which
have no shape or substance, but which
nevertheless inspired the writer ard
have since inspired others, are al put
down in little letters or figures and
made eternal. The songs OF David; tho
sublime grieyings of Job; the specula.
tions of Plato; the visions of Homer,
have by these means been handed down
faith ully for many centuries and dis
tributed among mankind. Ii there were
no books our knowledge would be al
most confined TO the limit of sight and
hearing. All that we could not see or
the inhabitants (if there be any of the
planet Saturn-a mere matter OF idle
conjecture. To read, mark, learn, and
inwardly digest all the thoughts and
learning OF others is evidently impossi-
BILE. 1t is beyond the compass OF any
intellect. But we may gather portion
of this knowledge, and the object is to
know how to begin thi, humber task
and how to proceed for the purpose. We
must not read to waste. We must be
moderate if we wish to gain much. The
bee does not overload herself with the
nectar of flowers, but takes what he
can carry away. We must select also,
and sec that the quality of what we take
be good. We should read, not merely
that we may make money, not to sharp
en- our intellect, but to enlarge it. We
should read in order to know and feel
what is good and what is evil, and to
do what is good and useful. Are we
ambitious? let us learn humility. Are
we ayaricious? let us learn content.
When a man can truly say to himself:
"My mind to me kingdom ISL a
kingdom of which he is the absolute
ruler, there is no king beyond him

A Dog That Collects Bad Debts.

A stout German in the Seventh Ward
keeps lager-beer saloon and big ST.
berian bloodhound. There was time
when he kept only the saloon. He is
of a peaceable disposition, and would
rather lose round of drinks than fight
for the money. He lost so much that
he took to keeping the dog, which he
has trained to do his fighting for him.
Saturday night two haIf-drunken men
entered the saloon and drank two glass
es of beer.
''See if you can remember that owe
you 10 cents until tomorrow said
one of the men. IF you don't forget
it, maybe I'll come around and pay you
and maybe l WON'T

bay now, shentlemens, said the Ger
man, mildly. The men laughed and
turned to go out.
''Nerow. said the German, sharply.
The bloodhound sprang out Of the
back room and stood in front of the
door, growing ominously. The man
hesitated a moment, and then one Of
them dragged 10 cents from his pocket
and laid it on the bar.
''Coom away off, Nero, und led dose
nice shentlemens go oud. The dog
retired, and paid no attention to the
men, who swore at him. New York

The Beds Of the German Peasantry.

The dwelling houses -or, rather, the
are at one end of the barn,
and are separated from the store-room
for hay and grain by a brick partition.
The sleeping apartments arc made in
the walls of the room, those in the kitch-
en- and dining room being used by the
family, while the one in tl:c parlor is
reserved for the stranger within their
gates. The walls selected for the beds
are the outside ones, as they are thick
enough to make bed Of the average
width. The walls are plastered nicely,
and the beds are simply niche largo
enough for bed, the wall presenting
an unbroken surface, save tie opening
where you get into bed. These OPEN
ings are sometimes 0; IN ordinary
height, while others require :, step-lad~
der to reach them, to the complete dis
comfiture of the festive bed bug. The
beds are made first OF a lot Of loose
straw, s,lrmounted by a thick feather
mattress. This is covered with 4 sheet,
while above it is another mattress of
fine feathers made lightenough to serve
as covers. Just imagine the feelings
of an American who has to make and
unmake his toilet after getting into bed!
The opening in the wall is closed by a
calico curtain, except the spare bed in
the parlor, which has doors of wood
that are opened and shut at pleasure.

The Case Was Continued.

A well-known lawyer had case in
court the other day, in which he was
for the complainant, claiming damages
for railway accident. He had three
witnesses to his version of the story
and he anticipated sweeping verdict.
His case was that through some OBJ,
st~uction placed on the track in the
dark night, through the carelessness of
the defendants, his client had met with
severe injuries. He called in most
assured tone for the first witness. To his
dismay this individual sWore that it was
q bright moonlight night and that
everything on the track was visible.
He withdrew him suddenly, Witness
No. 2 was relied upon to controvert the
first statement. He declared that the
whole neighborhood was lit with cleo.

creasing assurance the lawyer called

rhe Norwhal's Horn.

In the upper jaw of the young mar
.whal are found two small tusks, which
in the female regularly remain undevel-
ioped throughout her life. In the male
the left tusk grows into a spirally
grooved rod, sometimes attaining the
length of ten feet. A large narWhal's
tusk has no small commercial value,
for the ivory is very hard and solid,
will take high polish, and keeps its
beautiful wilderness long time. Sew
eral ingenious speculations have been
made in regard to the use of this re-
markable growth; killing fish for food
and breaking breathing holes through
the ice are two uses suggested which fail
to account for the long tusk being con-
fined to the males. The females GER
tainly can not live on air alone, nor
without air, and they cannot count on
always having male near to wait up
on them. 1t is more probably to be
accounted for by the same reasons
which explain the possession of horns,
tusks, or name by the males only of
some land mammals. Rarely the right
tusk is developed instead of the left,
and sometimes the female has a weap-
on like that of her mate. One female
has been taken with both tusks devel-
oped, one being seven feet in length,
the other five inches longer. Like his
