THE INGENIOUS MAN.
His Invention Was Forg often IN T1ns

He was a very ingenious man. He had
made an invention which was of great value.
He thought so, at least. if the world did not,
and he had his invention patented. 1t
was combination camp-stool, cane and UNI
brella. The cane was the usual form of the
invention. AT big parade nothing could be
more convenient, and for an ordinary, unex.
peeted rainstorm, what could be better?
A man is sure TO have his walking stick with
him.
II was not so very long after the invention
had been perfected that the man was out
walking with his wife, and sudden shower
came up. There were no cars accessible, and
the only thing to do was to run, and the
unlucky pair did this with a vengeance.

PROFESSOR MOMMSEN.
Feculinrities of the Great German
scholar.

Many of the stories about the extreme
German professor had their origin in
tales actually told-perhaps with not
much care in verifcation-of Prof. The
odor Mommsen, of Berlin, great Ger
man historical scholar and liberal poll
tician.
Although the herr professor recently
passed his eghtieth birthday, he is said
to be still in the height of his product
iveness, active and energetic, writer,
teacher and causeur. He adopts the
axiom of Goethe, which is not popular
with most old men: when a man is
old he must do more than when he il
young"
minded in his old age than he was when
he was younger. He has a family of
ten living children and several grand
children, and has always been fond of
them all and not averse to taking care
of them; but woe to any infant of whom
he might have charge if his mind be-
came seized by scholarly preoccupa-
tons!
1t is related that when his first child
was baby it was in his charge one day
in his study. Wishing to make some in
quiry from his library, he deposited the
baby in the waste basket and forgot all
about it; but presently the baby began
to cry loudly.
At last the sound disturbed even the
absent-minded student, whose thoughts
were, and remained, on his study. Con-
scious only of loud noise, he seized
quantity of loose papers and carefully
covered the child with them to muffie
the sound,
On another occasion-so the story
gocs-Prof. Mommsen was going in a
street car from Berlin to Charlotten-
burg. taking with him his little son.
BY and by the boy began to wriggle
about and make a great deal of noise.
BY this time his father was meditating
profoundly. The boys racket soon dis
turbed his meditations. 1t seemed to
the professor that it must be an ex-
tremely ill-bred child that would make
a disturbance in a public place; he
would see If he could not quiet him;
but first he would find out who he was.
Little boy" he said, sharply, what
is your Nance
Naturally the small boy thought it
strange to be asked his name by his
own father, but he responded. politely:
THE same as yours, sir"
THE same as mine." The professors
attention was now aroused by this APP
peal to his ego, and the spell was
broken. lie took up his progeny. to the
tremendous amusement of the people
