Not Allowed TO GRADUATES.

A German lady Of the emancipated school
attempted to brave public opinion n few
years ago and attended the lectures of Profes-
sor Du Bots Raymond She was SO annoyed
by ogling students. who one and all fixed their
monocles Oh her classical features and let the
words Of the teacher so by unheeded, that
she had to bc screened from their imperti
nencc and finally leave tho room. A rather
pathetic story Is told Of q woman in Leipzig
who tried To overcome the laws. She was o
poor sir,, and disguised us young man en-
tered tho varsity with honors and took hel
place in the laboratory rs student Of chem
istry. Sho applied herself assiduously during
three years, and distinguished herself beyond
her fellows. Her popularity was great
though she was inIocently called tho LADY
because OF her feminine appearance the stu
dents little dreaming how nesr the truth they
they came. But her sex was discovered or
the day Of her final examination, and despite
prayers and cntreaties she was not allowed t.
graduate. Her expenditure of time and
money went for nothing New York Trib

Glen. SLObcleff's Lucky Flag.

Vcrcschasin. the distinguished Russian
painter, in tho course of some "reminiscences
of his friend Skobeleff, notes that the general
was very superstitious. Skobelef had made
him 4 present of the HaS under which he had
gained twenty two victories. 1t was made of
red silk, with n yellow cross embroidered in
the middle, and it was torn by many bullets.
On leaving for his last Turkestan expedition,
Skobeleff remembered the flag and asked his
friend either to give it back to him or to send
him another in exchange. Madame Veres-
chagin made an elaborate new flag, which
was greatly admired on its arrival in the
camp both By the general and bis men But
SkobeleT was just then unsuccessful. The
enemy made sortie from Geek Tepe, took u
number OF arms, q cannon and flag. Sko-
belief was in despair. Give me the old Gag
back; the new one is unlucky,' he wrote to
me- gave nothing back. Another sortic,
another defeat. and considerable losses An
other appeal: Give back. give back my lucky
flag; take the one away which has no luck.
Still did 10. give it back Finally, Cock
Tepe was taken, large numbers Of the enemy
were killed, and IN abundance of arms and
baggage fcli into the triumphant generals
hands. Ny flag regained its favor. Skobelelf
and his Turkomans were never tired Of Co
miring it To-day this lucky flag rests on
the tomb Of the general "-Exchange

A Once Noted CharncfNr.

Walking down Chestnut street the other
day, mot a man WHOSE face seemed familiar.
vet it was moment OF two before | could
recognize him. Dressed soberly in dark
clothes, with tail hal, his long nlustache
carefully trimmed, and walking arm in arm
with n Handsome, digniiel woman, he at
tracted no attention from tho passing tirony.
Yet the last Vrnc saw him on Chestnut
street, few years ago, be was dressed in out
Iandish attire, his face rousel like q ballet
dancer, and HIS coat ornamental with q
bouquet es large as q head of cabbage. Shortly
afterwaru he was conveyed to an insane osy-
lum, from which he has only recently been
released 1t was DR.. Henry T. Eclmbo.d. Is
it any wonder that did not recognize him
