PROFESSOR MOMMSEN.
Of the Great German
scholar.

Many of the stories about the extreme
Observation-Disclosures of some unnamed
German professor had their origin in
tales actually told-perhaps with not
much care in verification-of Prof. The
odor Mommsen, of Berlin, great Ger
man historical scholar and liberal poll
tician.
Although the herr professor recently
passed his eightieth 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
old he must do more than when he is
young"
He is certainly no more absent
minded in his old age than he was when
he was younger. He has 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-
tionsl
1t is related that when his first child
was n baby II was in his charge one day
in his study. Wishing TO make some i'm
quiry from his library, he deposited the
baby i'm 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 a loud noise. he seized
a quantity Of loose papers and carefully
covered the child with them to muflie
the sound!
On another occasion-so the story
goes-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 n great deal of noise.
BY this time his father was meditating
profoundly. The boys racket soon dis
turbed his meditations. IL seemed TO
the professor that IL must be an ex-
tremely ill-bred child that would make
disturbance in public place; he
would see IL he could not quiet him;
but first he would find out who he was.
Little boy" he said. sharply, what
is your name?"
Naturally the small boy thought IL
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. He took up his progeny, to the
tremendous amusement of the people
in the car, and gave him a good shaking.
