THE TITLE OF d. Dan unsuccessful at-
tempt was made at the recent meeting of the
Synod OF the o. S. Presby terian Church of Vir-
ginia, to abolish the custom of ministers ac-
cepting the title of Doctor of Divinity. The
following is the origin of the title:
The origin of the titles OF ID. ID. and LII. u.
date back to the twelfth century, at the first
establishment of the Universities, and were
then held in high esteem. The first person
upon whom title of Doctor was conferred was
Irnerius, a learned Professor of Law al
the University of Bologna. He induced the
Emperor Lothaire H., whose Chancellor he
was to create the title and he himself was the
first recipient Of it, He was made Doctor OF
Laws by that University. Subsequently the
title was borrowed by the faculty of theology,
and first conferred by the University of Paris
on Peter LON bard, the celebrated scholastic
theoiogian. William Gordenie was the first
person upon whom the title of Doctor OF Medi-
cine was bestowed, who received it from the
College of Asti in 1929. For several ages the
doctorats was title Invested with honor, but
III the present century, and especially in this
country, there are SO many thousands of them
that the title is greatly diminished in value,
and now hardly worth having.

A WHALE ATTACKED BY SWoRDPIsH.-
A remarkable scene was witnessed by a boats
crew belonging to the island of Westray,
about fortnight ago. AS Gavin Mowat, and
his boats crew were engaged fishing for cod,
about six miles from land, TO the eastward of
Noup Head, they observed large whale rum
ming rapidly toward their boat. In little
time there was violent commotion. The
whale leapes about six feet clear out Of the
water, when they observed that swordtish
had struck its lethal weapon into its body just
behind the large fin. The huge animal con-
tinued in the greatest distress, leaI ing out of
the water, but obviously getting mora feeble,
while the swordfish clung closely In spite OF
ali its contortons. During all this time, also. a
thresher continued 10 strike the whale on beth
sides near its middle, and the wounded animal
continued TO bleed profusely. The three crea-
lures passed al some little distance from the
boat and the eddies ware so considerable as To
make it sway not little, though the sea was
Otherwise perfectly calm. When it passed,
the whale was putting SO feebly that he seemed
literally gasping for breath, and the mea felt
certain that it must have died in n short tims.
