Dickens was only SO when / first saw
him, being just two years my junior. 1
have said what he appeared TO mt then.
As j knew him afterward and TO the end
of his days, he was n strikingly manly
man, not only in appearance but in bear
ing. The lustrous brilliancy of his eyes
was very striking. And l do not think
that l have ever seen it noticed that those
wonderful eyes which saw SO much and
SO keenly were a~ppreciably, though to a
very slight degree, nearsighted eyes.
Very few persons, even among those who
knew him well, were aware of this, for
Dickens never used a glass. But he con-
t~inually exercised his vision by looking at
distant objects and making them nj as
well as he could without any artificial
assistance. 1t was an instance of that
force of will in him which compelled n
naturally somewhat delicate frame to
comport itself like that of an athlete.
Mr.. Forster somewhere says of him:
Dickens habits were robust, but his
health was not. This is entirely true as
far as my observation extends.
OF the general charm of his manner /
despair of giving any idea to those who
have not seen or known him. This was
a charm by no means dependent on his
genius. He might have been the great
writer he was and yet not have warmed
the social atmosphere wherever he APP
pearcd with that summe glow which
seemed to attend him. His laugh was
brimful of enjoyment. There was n pc
culiar humorous protest in it when re-
counting or hearing anything specially
absurd, as who should say: "'Pon my
soul, this is too ridiculous! This passes
ali bounds" and bursting out nfresh as
though the sense Of the ridiculous over
whelmed him like q tide, which carried
all hearers away with it.and which well
remember. His enthusiasm was bound
less. 1t entered into everything he said
or did. 1t belonged, doubtless, to that
amazing fertility and wealth of ideas and
feeling that ~stinguished his genius

a teacher in n city near New York
had n email class in easy physiology.
They had had several lessons on the ear,
and had been go thoroughly drilled on
the names and uses of all its parts, that
when some visitors dropped in the
teacher was glad it happened to be tho
hour for this class to recite. After ask
ing several questions, and receiving
prompt and correct answers, she said:
"What is the name of the canal in the
carr"
Tho child hesitated a moment, and
then spoke up, loud and plain: "The
Erie canall'
Tho visitors thought if she judged by
the sound it was no wonder the child
thought the Erie canal ought to be in the
car, and were, perhaps, better pleased
than the teacher was with the answer.
Another teacher in the same city
asl;c,l one of her scholars the meaning of
to word ''vicissitude.r
Change was the reply.
THAT il right" said the teacher, ''now

NJ. Revillout, in conjunction with his
brother, has given tho results Of his re-
searches into Babylonian law, as en-
bodied in the multitudinous contract
tablets that nave been brought from
Babylonia. Ho points out that in Baby
lonia and Egypt VIC find most Of the
germs and principles of Roman law, and
that on this account, il on no other, the
legal documents Of the valleys Of the
Euphrates and tho Milo well deserve
study.
The Chaldcan banks were already nc
quainted v Il the principle q the check,
and the Babylonian could either open a
credit at his bank or deposit his capital
in it for tho sake Of security. Mortgages
had been known from an early period,
and tho legal rate Of interest was 10
shekels d year ON each NINA nina
consisting Of sixty shekels. The married
woman whose father was dead had n
guardian to manage her affairs and see
after her rights; but besides the lawful
wife, the Babylonian Nigh possess an
other of inferior rank whom he had pur-
chased from her parents at 4 given price.
His rights over the latter, however, were
nevef complete, and ceased as soon Us
the parents repaid the sum given TO them.
Companies and associations Of all kinds
existed in Babylon, and q prisoner could
be released on bail if his friends became
sureties for him 1t may be added that
wealthy people employed agents to manage
their estates; indeed, most matters Of
business could bo transacted by n respon-
siolc mandatary or agent.-The Contem-
porary Review.

''Chicory is chiefly imported from Ger
many" said n wholesale merchant TO
q reporter recently. 1T is q root; it is
dried and ground like coffee, which it
greatly resembles. 1t is imported in the
raw, packed in casks"
"Who purchases chicory and what is
it used fors"
at is used to adulteratc coffee with
and by nearly everybody. 1t is not at
all injurious and many claim that it i'm
proves the flavor of the coffee. When
you ask for n cup of coffee in a cheap
restaurant or boarding house, you usually
get nearly all chicory. That is because
it is much cheaper than coffee. By some
it is used in small quantities because they
think it helps to draw out the flavor of
the coffee. Tho French never make
coffee without using chicory, and l doubt
very much if Delmonico and other of the
swell restaurants do not use it in large
quantities. Just now it is worth eight

There is no man living" said q pub
lie school teacher the other day, chat
knows every one of the rs, 900 words in
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, nor
half, nor n third of them. Nor is there a
man who could define them if he were
asked. Shakespeare, who had the rich
est vocabulary used by any Englishman,
employed only 10000 words. Milton
could pick out from 8, 900, but the aver
age man, n graduate from one of the
great universities, rarely has q vocabu-
larry Of more than 5000 or 1000 words.
Right here in Buffalo there are Ameri-
cans born and bred who contrive to ex-
press all their wants and opinions in 300
words, and in the rural districts the
knowledge of 100 or 200 words is sufi-
cient to carry Il man through the world.
So the unabridged dictionary is cluttered
up with 60, 900 or more technical or OBJ
solete words that you never hear in ordi-
nary conversation or see in ordinary
books or newspapers. Buffalo Courier.

Adult students from tho United States
object very seriously to the close hours
that students are required to keep. In
the first place they are required to be
in their quarters at 0 o'clock in the even
ing. If they come in after 8 o'clock they
are fined twopencc; if they como in after
10 they are fined q shilling; if they come
in after II they are fined half o crown;
if after IL they are obliged to pay u
pound, and three appearances after mid
night subject n student to expulsion.
The students are required to live during
the first year or two ut Oxford in the col
lege building. 1t is only in the second
year or in the latter part of their course
that they can obtain permission to live in
lodgings. People who lodge students
can only take them after permission is
given by the faculty of the college where
the student is enrolled, and only after the
lodging house keeper has agreed to make
reports daily upon the character and con-
duct of the student lodger. AS u matter
of fact, the lodging house keepers rarely,
if ever, make reports against the students.
This is pretty generally understood by
the college authorities, and they never
permit students TO lodge outside when
their conduct has been at all question
able during their preliminary course of
study.-T. c. Crawford in New York

They arc great travellers, and always
go in n trot. Their quadrupedal locomo-
tors are in some way connected with an
internal grunting arrangement. This ca
pability for ~locomotion, and their innate
sinfulness, scientifically explain their ex-

%supposing that all the swine historically
described as going down into the sea or

Weare emphatically a people of nerves.
Visitors from other lands are astonished
Mt The fierce activity that pervades our
most insignificant actions; but they them
selves speedily contract restlessness and
no longer marvel at wonderful develop
ments of invention and speed of practical
application A portion of this energy Is
doubtless due to American climate, which
teaches in n vigorous and obtrusive man.
ncr, that quiet and rest do not form part
of natural law in this country, but it is
far more a result of our newncss, our
youth in the family of nations. Scarcely
out of Il swaddling clothes of history,
we arc called upon to stand up squarely
in competition with n thousand years of
past, and show the old fcgies q new thing
or two. And we nave done it, arc doing
it nowa and apparently have shouldered
q contract to keep in the lead for all
time to come. What with now instru-
mcnts for annihilation of time and dis
lance, limited express trains across the
continent and unlimited chances for OK
press speed in dissipation, the American
temperament has already grown to be one
of great delicacy of nerve. Our children,
at an age when their contemporaries in
other lands are still at school, releGate
the "'old folk" TO the rear; and fathers
opinion is voted as good, of course, but
belongs to n past period"
Yet, i'll all this mad speed, there is
reason. 1t does not follow that we live
shorter lives than elsewhere, even in
length of years; that is not the case. We
are not less capable of keen appreciation
of good things, when once they arc in
trOduccd to us: on the contrary. yyp nre
apt to SEQ beauty and say 80, too, when
not even a glance of pleasure shows that
our slower neighbor has noticed it. But,
from a medical point of view, our tenn
permanent is a dangerous one to the state,
in that it does most distinctly repress re
production. The future American will
be conglomorate; tho blood of our fore
fathers will be 20 far diluted that its
characteristic will be lost in foreign over
flowing tide, which, if sluggish in its
flow, may still be of service by reclaim
ing from too much our
hdgety people,-American Magazine.

Watch clubs have done n great deal
for the business in this country and have
put gold watches into the vest pockets of
thousands who could never hope to buy
them in any other way. 1t is not like
the installment business. The club maker
or dealer does not havc to charge an ex-
orbitant price for the watches and he
runs little or no risk, for he never lets q
watch go out of his hands without good
security in the signature of Il responsible
man, who signs an agreement to assume
the debt if the watch holder skips be-
foro tho last payment is made. The
dealer need not buy n watch until every
dollar is paid in for it by the sixty or
moro members of tho club. Then he
draws a slip Of paper from a box, and
the number upon it ~designates the sub
scriber who is to have tho watch that
week. lie notifies the lucky member
that he has drawn a watch, and tells him
TO bring forth n surety, and he al carry
it; but it remains the property of the
dealer until the last dollar has been paid,
and the drawer signs u document to that
effect. The following week the collec-
ton Of 81 is made from each member of
the club, and another drawing takes
place. This business has assumed Won
derful proportions throughout the United
States, and now there is scarcely q town
without its watch club. Rogues have
taken advantage Of the scheme, but only
in a small way, for they cannot operate
moro than one week in a place without
being detected, and then the amount is
too small to be attractive. Dealer in
