The Guinness Gift.

: The magnificent gift of Sir Edward
Guinness may be accepted without any
fear that it will demoralize the class
which it is intended to benefit. The
G200, 900 which are to be invested for the
better housing of the London poor will
be, in the most unfavorable event, an ex.
tension of the Peabody scheme, which
has been found in practice not to have
done much for the destitute population
that lives upon easily labor. The neat
and comfortable tenements have been
occupied by respectable and thriving
artisans, and. very great has been the
benefit which they have received. But
the object of Sir Edward Guinness is to
provide decent homes for the class below
them-to let the tenements at rents with
in the means of the poorest. Yes, but
these are the persons who have no means
at all-no regular means, none that will
insure the periodical payment of even
the smallest rent. That Sir Edward
Guinness gift will do much good cannot
be denied; but it will require very eau
tious handling to makeit do just that
kind of good which is intended.-St.

Yerr smart Babies.

An instance of premature dentition
came to light yesterday. George Droes-
cher, who is employed in the Gambrinus
brewery, married, year ago, the 1s-
year-old daughter of Jacob Wetterer, a
brewer. Three weeks ago Mrs. Droescher
was delivered of girl baby. 1t was per-
fectly formed and weighed ten pounds.
The first thing to attract attention was
the fact that the little one had an unusual
growth of very dark hair, the mother
being a perfect blonde. The hair was
nearly an inch long. The family could
hardly believe it when the mother called
them in and showed that the babe had
also been born with the two lower in
cisors almost full grown, while with
the finger could be felt the rest of the
teeth on both jaws. Since then the up.
per and lower molars have made their
appearance, and the babe has full
grown set of teeth in sight. .a
Mrs. Tibbles, of Oregon street, gave
birth to a boy baby on Dec. 8. DR..
Halle, who was in attendance, found
that the child, which is fine, fully de-
veloped male, had five upper teeth in
front, well through the gum. The lower
teeth were just under the skin, ready to
pop through. Dr.. Halle then made a
thorough examination of the baby's
mouth, and was greatly astonished to
find two molars in the upper jaw, on op-
posite sides, as large as the nail of the
little finger of man. They were well
out of the gum and had been cut evil
IDENTIFY some time before birth. They
were as far advanced as those of d child
of 9 years, Opposite these teeth, in the
lower jaw, were two more molars just
under, the skin, through which they
were ready to cut. All the other teeth
were plainly visible through the gum,
and it is very probable that. in few
days the child will have full set cut.
! The mother is healthy woman and has
had several children, all of whom, how
ever, cut their teeth at the proper
periods. s.--Cincinnati Telegram. 1

A New Italian Coin.

A dollar is to be struck in Italy, larger
in size and greater in, value than the
familiar five lire piece. The old Marie
Therese is to be the model. Even in coins,
and even in Italy, they seem to be going
back to the old patterns. The Marie
Therese thaler is not now SO unusual as
it used to be. There is a tendency in
coins to locate themselves. To this day
the forty franc pieces Of the First Ma
poleon, rare in the north of France and
not often met in Paris, are in free circu-
lation on the Rivera. The new coin will,
Of course, have ON the reverse the fa-
niliar efigy of King Humbert and be
surrounded by an inscription setting
forth the Italian sovereignty over its
African essions.-American Banker.

A Boston Cats Ride.

One of BostOn's handsomest Maltese
cats arrived in this city this noon on
the 1924 express via Springfield. She
secured passage in a drawing room
car. or rather under it, just before the
train left the Boston and Albany de-
pot in Boston, and came through in a
hurry. One of the porters on the
train noticed her seated cozily upon
the break beam of one of the trucks
just before the train started, but sup
posed she would jump off when the
car began to move. On the contrary,
the cat fastened her claws into the
woodwork all the firmer when the
train started, and during her ride of
1875 miles maintained her position un-
disturbed by the whirlwind of sand
and gravel that would have smothered
an ordinary mortal. When the train
reached the city she was still in pos
session of her senses, and had become
so firmly attached to her new home
that the porter could scarcely pull her
off the truck. When he did she, how
ever, quickly ran back and took her
former seat on the truck, and it was
only when the baggage master again
pulled her off and held her in his arms
till the train moved away that the
cultured cat could be persuaded to re-
main in the capital city. She was not
in the least disturbed by her rapid
transit, and when Hickman Banning
placed her on the back seat of his hack
she Immediately began to purr con-
tentedly, and rode in great style to her
new home on Barber street, running
her claws down into the cushioned
seat and pulling slowly upon the cloth
in her musical peace of mind.-Hart

The Graduate an Excellent Duellist,
With n Great Capacity for Beer.
The difference in tone between the Amer
lean college and a German university is
very great. The universal dueling spirit
is slight index. 1t is hardly possible for
German student to go through his course
without fighting duel, often several. He
is 0stracised and life made a burden for
him if he refuses. This practice is a trifie
more elevated and genteel than tist-fght-
ing, but springs from the same semi
barbarous love of brutal physical encoun-
tiers and the sight of blood.
A student rudely JOstles another, treads
on his toes, or applies to him some insult
ing phrase to provoke challenge to duel,
which challenge the other Is bound to give.
If the needed supply cannot be kept up in
this manner, then the different secret soce-
ties designate certain of their members
to fight with those chosen by other sOcie-
ties, just as the Spaniards arrange for q
buli-fght The combatants have their
eyes, necks, breasts aud arms protected, so
that the wound is generally received on
the left temple or cheek. Occasionally an
ear or q nose is laid open for variety, but
the wounds, though bloody and ugly are
seldom serious. What to an American
Of regret is to a German matter
of intense pride, that is to have his lace
so SCARED that it locks like checker
board, and the more scars he has the
pr0uder he is. The natural result of this
custom is that the sword in the hands of
Germans is mightier than the pen, and in
their Quarrels instead of shedding seas of
ink through the papers they fight duel.
This is such an evil in the army that the
old Kaiser issued an order forbiddng duels
under penalty. but it is often evaded.
But the worst evil Is the almost universal
excessive drinking of beer, or kneiping, as
it is called. number OF students get to-
gether in a saloon or some private room at
about 9 in the evening, and spend the time
till midnight and often till Q or 8 In the
morning, singing, telling stories and drink
Ing as much beer as they can hold. should
say that six big schooners of beer would be
a minimum, and number will drink four
teen to fifteen. They don't often get posi-
lively drunk on beer, but they are so sat-
urated with it that they are little better
than stupid beasts. and the next day have
headache and are generally used up. On
peculiarly festal occasions wine is substi-
tuted for beer, and some of them do get
drunk, and uproariously so. Int0xication
is not common vice, nor is it in England
and America, but there are very few Ger
man students, l fancy, who have not at
some time been drunk, and they have no
hesitation in telling about it. while in
The morning call., 1890-07-01

American colleges such men are rare ex-
ceptions,. the drinking men being found in
other walks in life. The natives can stand
this sort of thing for long time without
perceptible effects, but an American can't.
A German will drink till his head is so
large that he has to use shoe-horn to
get his hat on. and yet appear in
class the next day, while an American will
be laid up. Some of the best German STU
dents follow this sort of amusement for
several semesters and keep up their health
and class work. Americans try it, and
either become thoroughly dissipated or con-
tract habits that ruin them after they get
home, and should they not become actually
dissiI ated, there is apt to be decided low
ering of the standard of gentlemanly con-
duct. If father wishes his son to spend
Sunday at shooting-match or horse-race
and to pass the evening tanning himself in
tobacco smoke, making q beer-vat of him.
self, singing obscene songs and playing
cards with money stake, he will find supe-
rior advantage in this line at a German
school. Some may prefer to finish their
education in less pronounced style.-Chi-
