A New Terror For Tutors.

Dueling has shown a new develop
ment in Germany. The university STU
dent is no longer content with disfigur-
ing the noses, chius and checks OF his
friends to avenge supposed insults or
with gaining the glory of scarification
himself. He aspircs to greater enter
prises and is determined no longer to
stand the tyranny of his professors and
examiners. The president Of the Berlin
university had the misfortune the other
day to plow IL student in an examination
for the twelfth time. This candidate Tor
academic Eonors resolved no longer to
tolerate such repeated insults, and forth
with sent tho president challenge by a
follow student. The president, however,
refused to comply with the polite re-
quest of pistols for two and coffee for
one, or of swords aud holsters in the
park in the early morning. But he has
not sent the bloodthirsty undergraduate
for change in the country, as he might
we'll have DONE The students of Berlin
have dubbed the professor a coward
But the German pruss thinks that his
decision not to accept the challenge IS,
on the whole, justified. They argue it
would never do for the undergraduate
at university to be ablo to appeal to
arms if plowed i'll an examination. And
there is certainly something from the
professor side to be said for this view

Woinan's Wit,

An emperor of Germany besieged d
city which belonged to one of his rebel
lious noblemen. After the siege had
lasted for long time the emperor de-
termined to take it by storm and to de-
stroy all it contained by fire and sword.
He did not, however, wish to injure the
defenseless women; therefore, he sent a
proclamation into the town, saying that
all the women might leave the place
unhurt and carry with them whatever
they held most precious. The noble
mans wife instantly decided to take
her husband, and the other women fol-
lowed her example They soon issued
from the city gate in ii long procession,
each one with her husband on her shout
ders. The emperor was so much struck
with the noble conduct of the women
that he spared all; even the city itself
was left untouched.

4 lady living in an questionable
street invited gentleman Of leisurely
life to her home, because In her SIM
plicity she thought he seemed lonely.
He came, and at the close of the even
ing remarked to her, 81 had no idea l

Pile at your house" his voice uncon-
scicusly emphasizing the pronoun. In a
little book, "About People, ~ Mrs. Kate
Gannett Wells gives the following IL
stance of lack Of good manners:
Gnobbishness is not confined to one
set of people. Emphasized by fashion
or literary pretensions. it spreads from
village to city. 1t exists in sardine fac
tories and in palatial mansions; it is
met with at picnics and dances as we'll
as at dinner or conversation parties
The links are close.
One of Boston's oldest families gave
a reception. Two scions of other old
families attended, to whom the host
said, "I'll introduce you to those ladies
opposite, (" and he moved toward them.
"Excuse US, said one of the men;
"the ladies are of a peasant style of
beauty; it is hardly worth while. "
The host bowed low in recognition OF
their farseeine power, adding, Eyes,
they are my nieces from the country,
but will not trouble you. y
No apology would he receive, though
one was eagerly offered.

ABSEN1M!NDED MAN.
tie Moved, but When Ho Tried to Find
His House &c Failed.

An absentnlinded man moved to this
city from cighboring town last week.
He and his wife staid, ut hotel while
they were finding house, but his bust
ness prevented tho man from doing his
share Of tho house hunting, and the
task fell, us if often does, upon the wife.
She at last found place which suited
her and she took her husband to see it.
1t was satisfactory, and thoy camo down
town, he to go back to his business and
she to attend to the moving OF their
goods from the railway car to the house.
Her task was soon accomplished, and in
a short time she had put away most of
the things, settled bedroom and got
the kitchen and dining room i'll order.
BY 80 i'll the afternoon she and the
new girl had tie first dinner i'll the new
fiat all ready for the head of the house.
In the meantime the absentmlnded
husband was Flooding through the work
at his office. About the time that the
plates were being put on the table at his
home he began to feel the need of food,
and he locked up his Office and started
for the street car. When he reached the
street, he suddenly remembered that he
had not noticed the address of his new
residence. He stood on the corner a long
while and tried to think what the name
of the street was. He consulted the di-
rectory, but mono of the street names
was familiar-in fact, no had not been
in the city long enough to know any OF
the streets by name except that on
which his Office was situated and tho
location of the hotel where he had staid
temporarily He looked aimlessly ut the
crowded street cars and envied the men
and women who knew where their
homes were. The pangs of hunger were
increasing momentarily, but no sug-
gestion of the locality of his home came
to him.
His mind on that point was perfect
blank. He had even forgotten to notice
in what style of building the fat was
situated. Cursing his stupidity, he
made his way to the hotel, ate his din
ner in disguised solitude and went to
bed. In the meantime his wife was
nearly frantic at his absence. Night
having fallen, she was afraid to venture
out and she, too, went to bed alone and
spent sleepless night. In the morning
