Idlenass German Dniversitics.
The following is an extract from an
open letter by Prof. Schmollcr , one o
the most influential men in the law fa
culty of the University of Berlin. Its
publication has called forth a storm o
controversy in the German newspapers
The fact that German students fre
quently spend the first half of their tini
versity course in idleness is not denied
even by those who oppose the views o
the learned professor , and their chief
argument of defense is that these years
of idleness snake up the only season of
romance in the otherwise unbroken life
of examination and positon-hunting to
which German youths are doomed :
What 1 want to see done away with is
the officially organized untruth , which
excites my indignation every time J
have to carry it into execution. Every
professor twico a year testifies that
dozens of students have been present at
his lectures , who , he knows , have nev
er set foot in his room. It has hap
pened repeatedly that students guile
lessly presented to me Prof. Eck's pan
dects for me to sign , thereby admitting
that they did not know that either Prof.
Eck or me by sight. 1 don't want to
force anybody to hear tedious lectures ;
I've cut many a lecture myself , and
know well enough that hard reading
1 and industry in his own room are in
the end more important , perhaps , to
a student than hearing the university
courses. But 1 can not pursuade my
self that this industry is to be found in
the case of those who attend no lec
tures the first two or three semesters
and calculate from the very beginning
on the ability of the paid "coach" to
cram them up for examination. The
number of these men , however , is verv
large among the law students certain
ly from one-fourth to one-third ; and so
the question simply is , Can not a sj-s-
tem of marking , without compulsion ,
be employed ? To all industrious stu
dents this would be a matter of indiffer
ence. Would it not save the majority
of the lower layer of our future govern-
! ment officials from that bumming"
which must occur when one wastes from
one to three years of his life ? The aca
demic freedom would not be affected in
the least by this plan , only the right to
conceal laziness from parents , guar
dians , and the univeristy officers would
be put an end to. I added that the
carrying out of such a change would
not be easy. If it be deemed unworthy
of a student to be thus daily controlled ,
let me merely call attention to our
great military educational establish
ments. The officers in the war acade
my and in the artillery school , who are
on the average much older than uni
versity students , who are in possession
of offices and rank , and are many of
them married men , must daily put up
with having their attendance at courses
of instructions marked.
The lierlin ficichsbttlc , commenting
"
editorially on tiiis letter , is much sharp"
er in its criticism :
If any form of life has remained in
the rear of reform it is the academic ,
and only the romance of student life ,
and the easy-going partiality of wider
circles in the outer world , have kept
the public eye closed to this fact. There
is a mistaken idea current as to the po
sition of the better and more capable
class of students in regard to the exist
ing state of afiairs. The general opin
ion is that this class wov.ld bitterly re
sent every change as an attack upon
their traditional privileges. We should
like to emphas ze the i'aet that , on the
contrary , a deep desire to reform the
present evil circumstances has long
been making itself felt in academic
circles. There is great d scontent and
impatience , especially with the extra
ordinary arrangement of lecture cour
ses , the lack of system , the indigestibl-
ity and even the partial absence of
spirit of the great mass of information
oll'ered in the universities. One of the
most alarming features in the complete
irresponsibil.ty of the professor for the
intellectual progress of his hearers.
From this result the willfulness w.th
which eveiy instructor , according to his
personal inclinations , chooses and
handles his subject , the dry , uninter
ested tone which makes most lectures
an abomination to the useful ferment
ing spirits of the auditors , and the re
markably slight personal relations
which nowadays exist between profes
sors and students , in scientific matters.
One can boldly say that if a student
really does any good work , he owes
this to his own self-teaching industry ,
a good school preparation , or per
haps to the personal interest of some
professor , but least of all , to the insti-
stStutious of the university. When one
adds to this the evils in the system of
salaries , which have turned the office
of private decent into a money specu
lation. In the one-sided education of
whole profess ons , as of the philolog-
ians and theologians , who receive from
the university as good as nothing for
their practical calling in life , in the bad
arrangement of examinations , in the
social life of the students , as in the
dueling abomination , the awarding of
scholarships , and so forth , one is forced
to wish with all his soul that at last
some CEdipus might arise to undertake
the solution of these complicated rid
dles. It is only a consequence of the
want of earnestness with which , owing
to all sorts of sentimental reminis
cences , this subject is usually dealt
with , that in no walk of life does an
equal number of persons morally and
physically go to ruin , as in the student
world , before they have done anything
for the good of the community. Sta
tistics on this subject would bring some
surprising facts to light facts that
would open the eyes of the blindest
We believe that we are within the
truth when we say that not half of our
students reach that degree of attain
ment which they could through a quieter
and more earnest development , and that
a large proportion actually jjo to the
bad. This is not a question of lim ting
academic freedom ; this shall continue
in its noble sense ; that is , that the stu
dent have the greatest possible amount
of opportunity and time to form him
self and his intellect in an individual
way , but not until he has performed
those duties which life with its necessi
ties demands of him as a scholar.
Only freedom based on fulcllcd duty
has any worth , but not a freedom asso"-
cialed with inactivity and prickings oi'
conscience which often annihilates the
noH ; st powers in the very germ.

The Peppermint King.
This potentate was born in Oneida
county , New York , on June 10 , 1810 ,
says The Farm and Household , and his
name , which has for many years been
kept standing in type in the chief mar
ket journals of the world , is Hiram G.
Hotchkiss. jSTow 75 years old , he is ro
bust and plump , bustling with activity
among his peppermint bottlss during
the season of oil production , and in ev
ery way master of his speciality. When
he was 7 years old his parents removed
from Oneida county to Ontario county ,
which adjoins Wayne , and settled in
the town of Phelps. At the age of 18
he started a small country store , to
which later he attached a flouring-mill ,
thereby becoming a general furnisher
of food material. About 1837 , ten to
twelve years after Burnett had put .a
practical appraisement on the value of
the now famous Wayne county weed ,
Mr. Hotchkiss began to buy pepper
mint oil of the farmers about Lyons ,
who took it to him as the most enter
prising merchant they knew. He also
got into the business of buying the raw
meter.al , as it would be offered to him
in connection with wheat taken to his
mill , and distilling the oil himself. He
presently saw a future for Wayne
count } ' peppermint , and , disposing of
his business in Phelps , removed in
1811 to Lyons , here gradually to assert
dominion over the peppermint-oil busi
ness of the world. There are two or
three other dealers in the county , but
the bulk of the crop goes to market
through the hands of Mr. Hotchkiss.
The mint is raised chiefly in the
"
towns of Huron , Sodu > . Galen" Marion.
Arcadia , Williamson. Lyons , and Hose.
The loam soil of the flat lands of these
towns is naturally adapted to it , but the
richness of the plant in oil varies so
greatly that producers can not mix
their crops for distilling , taking a pro
rata share of the oil , sis dairymen mix
their milk in a common pool at the
cheese factory , and take a pro rata
share of the cheese. The mint acreage
of the county this year is estimated to
be about four thousand acres , and this
area is said to be only about one-half
what it would have been if the season
had been favorable. Mr. Hotchkiss
estimates the total product of oil this
year to be worth $120,000. In a fairly
! jood season it rises much beyond thfs
amount. The crop is now , of course ,
all in , and much of it has been sent on
its way to the candy factories , the
bakeries , and the aching stomachs of
the world.
Peppermint long ago ceased to be
looked upon as a weed in these parts.
It is a legitimate agricultural product ,
planted and attended to as systematical
ly as a crop of wheat or potatoes. The
oil is sent to market from Lyons in
wholesale quantities , but a small part
of each year's product is put up in
) hials "to give away to my colicky
Tiends , " as Mr. Hotchkiss says. The
jottles for commerce contain twenty
ounces , and eighteen bottles are packed
in a case , the current worth of a case
it first hand being 896. Mint farmers ,
who during the season of shipping and
lacking frequent Mr. Hotchkiss' fac-
.ory , say that peppermint-raising is
considerably more profitable than
wheat raising , and is a surer crop , the
iverage of seasons and the market
considered , than almost airytlring else
they could produce on their available
mint soil.
A Lost Papa.
The following true story is sent us by
i correspondent in Rhode Island :
Three little children rode down to the
station with papa , who was going "to
town" for family supplies. Papa had
always worn heav\r whiskers and mous-
ache. He visited the barber and came
lome with closely-cropped locks and
closely-trimmed moustache only. The
oss of the luxuriant beard actually
transformed him , so that his "best
'riends" would have scarcely known
nm. The children , being accustomed
to strangers , chatted with him on his
return , and nothing strange was noticed
mtil they began to worn * lest papa was
not coming home that night !
"Why , papa has come home , " said
namma in wondering tones.
"Why don't he come to the house ? "
"Why , he has been in ; don't yon re
member he brought you some peanuts. "
"That gentleman ? That's company ! "
In vain mamma explained , and when
> apa came into the house again he was
old the children's grief at his noa re-
; ui-n. He tried to convince them , but
t was not possible ; the positive tern-
) erament they had inherited from him
vas not to be argued with successfully.
Gravely they noticed that he actually
eceived all papa's privileges , and
eemed scandalized that he put them to
> ed , and occupied papa's room , and
vaitcd on them just a papa used to do !
Gradually they fell in the habit of call-
ng him papa , but to them he was the
new papa , " and they sadly wondered
or months if the'old papa" wL
went to town" would never , never
ome home any more. Babyhood.

A. Lesson In Table Manners.
* It was at a Sunday school picnic , where
great quantities of the regulation eatables ,
chiefly apple pies , had been brought for the
children to eat. Little Mary Jane , from
away back in the hills , was there , and with
her mother , who kept an eye on the child
constantly to see that her behavior was
perfct.
Presently Mary JVje was observed dig-
ging into an apple pid vith her knife ; where
upon her mother spoke up :
"Mary Jane Bcals ! "
"What , ma'am ? "
"What be you a-doin ? "
"Eatin' pie , ma'am. "
"What be you a-eatin' it with ?
"Knife ! "
"So you be f Now what have I told yon
about eatin' pie with your knife , Mary Jane ?
Take that pie in your kand and eat it as
you'd ought to ! " [ Boston Kecord.
How Some of Our Orators Spoke.
Henry Clay never was at a loss lor a
word or "boggled" while speaking. Witt
Mr. Webster it was different , and he often
would hesitate and then rub his nose with
the bent knuckle of his right thumb. Mr.
Calhouu , when at a loss For a word , would
give a petulant twist at his large , turned-
over shirt collar and then run his bony
fingers through , his long gray hair until it
stood up like the hair on an electric toy.
Mr. Benton wouldsink his voice and mum
ble something that no one could under
stand , and Gen. Cass would "Aw ! aw ! " in
the English style , passing his hand beneath
the lower edge of his capacious white waist
coat. Mr. Webster was almost invariably
"stuck" when he attempted to use a Latin
quotation , and when Mr. Everett was in
the senate he used invariably to appeal to
him.
IIio Gift of Imagination.
"Nature has given to thinking men no gift
more splendid than that of a powerful
imagination , but there is no faculty which
is rnoro necessary to guide and moderate.
Ungovorned , it will , as with Blake , produce
nothing but fantastic shapes , in which the
elect alone will perceive the promise of
beauty , the earnest of what might have
been ; as with Shelley , cloud castles and
ethereal glimmerings , lovety , but divided
from the common thought of man. Gov
erned and disciplined , as with Dante or
Shakespeare , it leads to the highest sum
mit of human thought , but by paths which
any but the feeblest climbers may follow.
