He therefore made his way down to the Gruner Mann, which was one of the favorite trysting- places of the wilder students, and ran, boisterously waving his cane in the air, into the little parlor, where sat Spieler and nfuller awl half adman other boon co:cepa-4ton% "Hal hat• mny Level" he shouted.

They had, still more to whisper stbout afterward, for the 'carotid man crack- ed the kelluer's crown, and Wetted the barmaid behind the, kitchen door. "Gt•ntleznen," said the professor, standing up. albeit somewhat tot- teringly, at the end of the tuble, and balancing bias high, eld-faeltioned wine glass in his bony trued. "I mutit now explain to you what is the cause of thus yte "Heart hear!" roareil the students. hammering their beer glasses against the table; "a speeele a speeehl-silence for it speech!" "The fact is, iny friends," eaid the profeasor, beaming through his spec- tacles, "I hope very sooa to be mar- ried." "Mermen" eried o student, bolder than the others, "Is madame dead, then?" "Madame whot" "Why, Madame von Ila.urngarten, of course." "Hal hat" laughed, the professor; "I can see, then, that you, all know t all about my former difficulties. No, she is not: dead, but I have reason to be- lieve that sho will not oppose my mar- riage." "That is very accommodating of her," retnarked. one of the company. "In fact," said the professor, "Ihope that she will now be induced ea lied me in getting a wife. She and I never took to each other very much; but now I hope all that may be ended, and when I marry she will come and stay with me." "What a happy faintly!" exclaimed some wag.' "Yes mimed; and I hope you will come to my wedding, all of you. I won't mention names, but here is to my little, bride!" and the professor waved his glass in the air. "Here's to hie little bride!" roared the roisterers, with% shouts of laugh- ter. "Here's her health. Sie soli leben-ghochl" And so the tun waxed NMI more fast and furious, while each young fellow followed the professors example, and drank a toast to the girl of his heart. While all this festivity had been going on at. the Gruner Mann, a very different soeue had been enacted elsewhere. Young Fritz von Hart- mann, with g solemn face and a re- terved manner, had, after the experi- ment, consulted and adjusted some ma t hema tical instruxnents; after which, with a few peremptory words to the janitors, he had walked out into the street and wended his way slowly In the direction of the house of the professor. As he' walked. he saw Von Althaus,, the professor of anat- omy in front of him, and quickening bis pace, he overtook him. "I say, Von Althaus," he exclaim, ed, tapping him on the sleeve, "you were asking me. for some informa- tion the other day tioncerning the middle coat of. the cerebral arteries.

Von Hart- mann wasg moth surprised at this re- ception, on account of this fail - re of my experiment," he said to him - &elf, and confined moodily on itis way, Frest surprises were M alore for him., however. He was hurrying along when be was overtaken , by two student s.

"Let go my arms! I shall certainly have you eusticated, for OIL Let me go sayl" and be kicked furiously at his captors. "Oh, if irons °Inmate to turn ill-tem- pered, Youmay go where you like," the students eaid, releasing him. "We an do very well without you." "1 Icaow you. pay you out; sold Von Hartmaom furiously, and continued in the direction which he hough:led to tet. his own home, mach incensed at the two ispieoties wletch had ocourred to him on the \fey. Now, Madame, vim Baumgarten, who was looking out of the wendow and wondering why her husbantt was late for dtexter, was censiderably towelled to see the young student a:mu stalking clown the road.

From tho Up- • per windows the fair Elise bud also observed this daring move upon the part of her lover, and her heart beat quick with mingled node axed con- eternatton. "Goed-day, sir," Madame Baum- garten remarked to the intruder, zut ‘, she stood in gloomy raujesty in the open doorway. "A very flue day indeed. Martha," , elm nod the other. Now, don't stand there like a statue of junto but bustle about and get the dinner ready, for 1 OW well-nigh starved.' "Aarthal Dinned" ejaculated the , lady, falling back in astonishment. "Yes. dinner, Martha, dinner!" howl - eel Von Hartmann, who was becoming irritable. "Is there anything wonder- ful in that request when a xnau has been out all dayrn wait in the diningeroom.

In the meantime. Von Hartmann strodo into the roora and threw himself down upon the sofa tn tho worst of tempers. "Elided" he shouted, "Confound the girl!

"I know this is all done for myteakel It is a ruse in order to see me.' To be Continued. OVER A BAMBOO BRIDGE. Exeittng Experience or a Traveller In Mr. L. A. Waddell, in his book, "Am- ong the Himalayas," describtes the crossing of the Toesta. River on a rick- ety bamboo bridge. The bridge, always dangerous, was at that time a mere ragged skeleton of itself, and to make matters worse, was slippery with green slitne. Such nridges are usually rebuilt once in two yeara, but this one had evidently not been touched for much longer than that. On this nar- row, tottering structure, open at the sides, Mr. Waddell had to cross over the turbulent, rapid river, three hun- dred feet wide and seventy feet below the 'bridge. The instant you step on such bridges they recoil from you, and awing and shake in an alarming way, rolling from side to side and pitching like a ship in a stimm. They swerve with a sudden jerk every time you lift your foot; not only sideways and longways, but also downward and forward, as your wiaight depresses the bridge. This goes on until you pass the middge of thehridge, after which the oscillat- ing structure kicks up behind you as you aacend. I got on fairly well so long as I could Wok to see the bamboo rod on whioh I had to walk, although the open sides heightened the .litenae of insecurity. Ilut away frogm the bank, if you look down to e.ee where to placeyour foot, the rush of leaping water in the tor- rent below gives you the giddy sen- sation that both you and the bridge are running swiftly upastreata. Yet one mutt keep his eye upon the single bamboo overhanging the abyss, and find a shaky footing upon it, since to mass it means certain death - 1 was a quarter of the way over, perhaps, when, as I stepped from one bamboo to the next, it tilted up, and I could see that most of those in front were lying loose and disjointed in their NT -Slings. They had been broken away by the passing of the person who had preceded m.e. I could not srwing round to go batik ; forward vvas my only course. T went on with long strides to get a foothold on this shaking, swinging line of slimy bamboos. After each step had to half close my eyes to coun- teract the giddy feeling of the up- ward rash of the bridge. It was a creepy, ghastly process. A false step meant death in the raging gulf be- low. After what seemed an age I reaatted the oppoaite hank, 80n NSTRUOTIVE .F11138 THE Finn KNOWN 18 THAT OF $0D0111 AND GOVIODEAD. he Hortastr, of Rome -The Great [ire Lontion-rtetures of atoseon. nod Chie- n.% In olainee-reve itinidren rersons Cast a fear LIVcS in (memos At rarioue times in the world's his- tory tire a have wept over cities and eountries for that matter, leaving be- hind them deetructima and ruin.

"The flames had subsided, after rag- ing for six day; and the wretched outcasts were beginning to take breath and visit the ruins of their habitations when a second conflagration burst out in a different quarter. Three days ex- hausted the fury of this second visi- tation, in which the loss of life and property was leas, but the edifices it overthrew were of greater interest. Altogether the disaster involved near- ly the whole of Rome. Of the fourteen regions of the city three were entire- ly destroyed, while seven were injur- ed and four only of the whole number escaped unhurt." Nero did not fiddle while Rome burned.

It followed close upon the black plague, which had decimated the pop- ulation and had the effect of purging the infected city from end to end. Nor WIEU3 this the only beneficial effect re- sulting frocoa a ealtimity which ren- dered 200,000 homeless. The fire broke out early in the morn- ing of Sunday, Sept. 2rrd1 1866, in the blouse of a baker in Pudding Lane, TheineS street. In this region of Lon- don the houses were of wood, painted with pitagh to make them wind and waiter proof. The lanes were very nar- row, and as the upper storeys of the houses projected one above another, Afur. Wood's Phosphodine, The Great English. Remedy. Sold and recommended by all druggists in Canada.

Extremely anxious to preserve what was most valuable to them, they loaded themselves with packages which they could hardly sus- tain, and which they frequently aban- doned to escape from the flames. The women, impelled by a very natural feeling a humanity, carried one or two children on their shoulders and dragged the others along by the hand and in order to avoid death, which threatened them an every side, they ran with their petticoats tucked up to take shelter in the corners of streets and squares. But they were soon com- pelled, by the intenseness of the heat, to abandon those spots and to fly with precipitation every way that was open to them, sometimes without being able to extricate themselves from that laby- rinth in which many of them experi- enced a miserable end. I saw old men, whose long beards had been caught by the flames, drawn on small c,arts by their own children, who en- deavored to rescue them from that real Tartarus." CHICAGO'S GREAT FIRE. Probably the fourth great fire in history was that whioh reduced Chi- cago to ashes in 1872. A fractious cow is generally credited with having caus- ed this disaster, by kicking over a sta- ble lantern, but history also hints at the malice of Southern sympathizers or the desperate methods of the Ku - Klux Klan. The Chicago fire broke out on Sun- day evening, Oct. 8th, 1872, and raged until noon on the. 10th. The spread of the flames was so rapid that the in- habitants had Lime only to flee for their lives, and so wild was the stam- pede that many were trampled to death. The fire brigade were powerless, as a strong wind was blowing, and the expedient of blowing up blocks of houses proved untivailing. The flames were finally checked by a heavy downpour of rain on Tuesday. The toes of life in the Chicago fire has been fixed it 590 persons, and the loss in property at 0195,000,000. One- third of the oity was destroyed and 100,000 persons renderect homeless. The burned area covered 2,00 acres. The cities of America and Europe genet' ously assisted the people of Chi - (tag°, and the hardships occasioned by the fire were of short duration. The city began to grow rearveleatsly, and in it short time watt entirely febuilt. sigegignageon, 'fief HISIteattsP1,. 900 Ditiips • t4,o4 AgetablanparationtorAs- shmuung uta- ongthaStoroothsandBowe of ProinotesNestiongheerrtil- IleSSancirtestfrontainsnelther =Morphine 'nor Mineral, ,..erA.33,C 0 WIcs Aiwaeors.zuzaf 1,6944 ,eiettete.tvelee- eeirselleeig Antenena fiereetteaniefelea PMPIria" itM%.445VIn ApeLrOt Remedy for CoatT tion.

The cre- dit for this novelty belongs to the Japanese, who are noted for design- ing beautiful things. They have prepared little pieces of wood, whicb, when thrown into water, expand into odd flowers which they call "water flowers." The wood is painted in all sorts of pretty colors and is cut in- to little sticks. The sticks are not thrown into the water until after the finger bowls .have been placed before , the guests. It is quite interestingal to watch the little splinters expand into flowers. Some of the prettiest of the sticks are those orbieh form ehrysantheinums and these are fav- ored most by the Japanese because the chrysanthemum is their national flower.

In the days uf the primitive Britons the bride wore no veil, but allowed her abundant locks to fall about her shoulders. Tina fashion was prevalent with both nobles and serfs.
