It was not righteousness on your part.
It was perhaps through the geniality

A Rude Awakening.

He was a dreamy romantic young
fellow from Tacoma, and he was doing
the fair thoroughly, entering into the
spirit of the thing, so to speak, with all
his ability. When the purple shades Of
twilight were falling he stepped gayly
into picturesque gondola, adorned
and propelled by real, live gondolier
attired in blue and white, with every
detail of the Venetian costume COM
plete. Our westerner reveled in the
charm of the hour and the surround
ings. He threw himself into the spir-
it Of ancient Venice and fancied he saw
the bride Of the Adriatic lying ghost
like upon the sunlit-tinted waters.
With a woman's artifice he tried to
tempt the gondolier into song. 1t was
in vain, however, for the solitary boat
man at the stern was evidently think
ing Of his beloved Venice. The young
man from Tacoma at last sought terra
firma and as he scared, rather than
walked away, he heard with horror
the mystical gondolier distinctly re-
mark to his fellow in the bow:

WOMAN STUDENTS AT ZURICH.
Their Study and Manner of Life Abou,
the Old University

Ihelr Study and Manner of Life About
the Old University.
1t is now about fifty years since
woman students have been admitted
to lectures in Zurich university, and
though from time to time reports not
altogether favorable have been cir
culated about them, perhaps without
foundation in fact, and certainly
greatly exaggerated, the seriousness
and ability of the woman student of
to-day is gaining well-merited re-
spect. The community of students
comprises all nationalities and condi-
tions OF women, says the New York
Sun. In the year 1892 seventy ladies
matriculated, belonging to no less
than fifteen different countries AS
rule they are older than the men.
Indeed, one of the American medical
students became a grandmother while
pursuing her studies at the university,
but she was only Al, and her new
honor v~t., did not prevent her
passing an excellent examination.
According to the custom in
German and Swiss universities the
women have little to do with the pro-
fessors outside the lectures, although
they would be much benefited by the
aid and advice of their instructors did
not conventionality forbid; nor is
there any great social intercourse be-
tween the professors and the women
in their classes. The relations be-
tween men and women students are
formal, each sex holding out for it's
respective rights. Filtration is al
most unknown and the marriages
contracted by students are few. At
least half of the women live in lodg-
ings and prepare their own breakfast
and supper, practicing the strictest
economy and fully occupied with their
studies. In the town itself the medi-
cal students are much liked from the
gentle manner in which they perform
their duties at the hospitals.

From the Cape to Cairo.


The business partner Of one of the
directors of the company formed to
build the telegraph line from the Cape
to Cairo has given a Pail Mall Gazette
reporter some interesting information.
Capital has been subscribed to the ex-
tent Of 100000, which is considered
sufficient to carry the line as far as
Uganda. The materials are now being
ordered in London, and will be shipped
shortly. The poles are to be of iron Of
light construction, in order to outma-
newer the white ants, who would eat
away wooden poles. From Salisbury
the line is to be carried to Tete, on the
Zambesi, and from thence to Blantyre.
There Consul Johnson will REPORT the
result Of his surveys as to the best
manner of proceeding on to Uganda,
and the constructing party will have to
come to terms with the natives and
Arabs by substituting the chiefs and
others of influence There will be moth
ing in the way of impenetrable under
growths or rank vegetation to contend
with, as the line will avoid the low
country and keep to the high plateau
the entire distance.
