A gentleman from the city who re
Gently visited Morgantowu, and who
has been more or less connected with
Colleges and Universities from his
boyhood to the present, and he is
past middle life, says: II never saw
as beautiful a sight for a University
as the one at Morgantown."
Can not the new building be fur
nished and made ready for the throne
of classic feet that will desire to use
it next Fall ? We hope such will be
the case. 1t is beauty in itself, is
grand and imposing and is a sturdy
reminder to all who sec it of what our
progressive state will do in the future.
The want of a railroad has been felt
in the past, atMorgantown and by the
University. Fortunately this disad-
vantage will soon be. overcome
When our railroad is completed it
will add largely to the success of the
University and the community at
large.

The friends of the University now
congratulate the State upon the era
of success it is entering. 1t is repre-
sented by a man who is fitted both by
nature and education for the work of
popularizing its interests, and build
ing them up on sound basis. Pres
idcnt Thompson is among the most
remarkable men of the country.
Whether upon the lecture forum, in
the pulpit, or in private circles, he is
the same combination of energy,
magnetism and culture. With such
man to lead, is it a wonder that
West Virginians bear such a love for
it, and that its influence is being felt
far and wide.

The Military.

One of the most important features
in the University is the Military Do
partm ent. This element In the edu-
cation of the young men OF our little
State l. one that heretofore has been
but little attended to, But now things
begin to assume 81 moro favorable AS
pect as regards the military education
of our young men. There are but n
very few vacancies in the cadet corps,
in fact, fewer than there have been
for several years past, Also there are
more volunteer cadets than there u.s.
ually are, and probably it will soon
he that the greater part of the STU
dents will belong to the corps, either
by appointment or as volunteers.
For some time past the Military
department has been considered as n
very insignificant feature, ~ ma
jority of the people but now they
are beginning to ser the advantages
to be derived. and to look at II in an
entirely different light.

An African Belle.

In one tribe through whose territory
we passed after leaving Tanganyika,
Lieutenant Cameron found the women
much more regarded THANH is usual among
the Africans, and consequently they
were far more fashionable than the rest
of their sex in that happy country. One
of the bellies of the country is thus de-
scribed in Cameron's Journal "She is a
merry sort of a person, this Mrs. PAX
wanya, and really lady.like in her man
ners. 1t was great fun showing her a
looking.glass. She had never seen one
before, and was half afraid of it, and
ashamed to show she was afraid. She is
a dressy body, double rows of cowries
around her head, besides copper, iron
and ivory ornaments stuck in her hair.
and Just above and in front of each ear
a tassel Of red and white beads. A large
necklace of beads was around her neck,
and around her waist a string of opal
colOred sinagomszz and a rope made of
red beads, Her front apron was a Loop
ard skin and the real one of grass cloth,
with its fringe strung with beads and
cowries sewed on in a pattern; bright
iron rings were around her ankles, and
copper and ivory bracelets were on her
arms her hair was shaven a little back
from the forehead, and three lines, each
about q quarter of an inch wide; were
painted below. The nearest one to the
hair was red, the next black andthe next
white. Her upper lip was perforated
and a piece of stone inserted, until the
upper lip protruded a couple of inches,
giving a hideous expression to the face
and making her articulation indistinct."

Sunlight.

1t is a familiar fact that a potato vine
growing in a dark cellar is white, punv,
and without strength. 1t would be
almost precisely the same with a child
confined to q dark room. 1t is also we'll
known that light is somehow essential ia
health, and that simple sunshine il the
best medicine in many diseases. But il
is not klown how the hygienic effect is
exerted, though there is reason to believe
the effect is mainly due, not to the color
rays, but to the actinic-the invisible
rays that paint the picture in the photo.
graph, and penetrate to the seed beneath
the sod and quicken its germ.
Some experiments, however, recently
presented to the English royal society,
have a bearing on the solution of the
question. They prove that the presence
of light, but especially of direct sun
shine, prevents the development of the
microscopic fungi which are associated
with putrefactiOn and decay. When
there are germs already present in a
liquid, it destroys them. and perfectly
preserves a putrescible fluid in which
they have not yet been developed.
While this p~reservative quality is most
powerful in the direct rays of the sun,
it also exists in ditfused light.
The hygiene of light will doubtless
sometime be fully understood. Mean.
while we know enough to make it a sin
against health not to let the sun have
ireest admission to our dwellings.

Working and Thinking.

Ruskin made a very practical point
when he said 1t is a no less fatal error
to despise labor when regulated by in
~telleCt, than to value it for its own sake.
We are always, in these days, trying to
separate the two we want one man to
be always thinking and another to be
always working, and we call one a gentle
man and the other an operative whereas
the workman ought often to be thinking,
and the thinker often to be working, and
both should be gentlemen in the best
sense. As it is, we make both ungentle,
the n envyiDg, the other despising his
brother and the mass of society i. made
up OF morbid thinkers and miserable
workers. Now, it is only by labor that
thought can be made healthy, and only
by labor that thought can be made
happy, and the two cannot be separated
with %impunity. All professions should
be liberal, and there should be less pride
felt in popularity of employment end
more IN excellencs of achievement.

alton for alcoholic stimulants, after
partaking of such food, is due to the
carbonaceOus starch contained therein,
which renders unnecessary and distaste-

proves successful, it will be the medium
of effecting a more thorough reform than
