There is peculiar sadness about
the death of the young man, Frank
McDermott, as announced In the
Grafton Sentinel He was connected
with the Eagle as local editor, and
solicitor, and heroically worked on,
resisting to the last that unrelent-
ing enemy to mankind, the con-
sumption. He was without rela-
tives in this country, so far as could
be learned, and died in poverty.
Mr. Marsh Wilson informs us
that he has over seventy head of
cattle on his farm and over one
hundred head Of sheep and plenty
of grass.-Ritche Democrat.
So comes the news from every To-
cality. With plenty of cattle,
plenty of grass, and engineers per-
ambulating hollows and climbing
hills, in almost every county, loca-
ting railroads, surely West Virgin
ians ought to be happy. Here's
the sort of news our exchanges all
over the State are bringing us:
The engineers of the Iron Valley
and MorgantoMn Railroad arrived
in town on Saturday evening, after
having made a preliminary survey
of the route. The party was in
charge of Engineer Field and was
accompanied by G, E. Grafton, of
Hancock county, graduate of the
University, who is now civil en-
gineer. The party left on Wednes-
day morning. We learn the next
work will be to 60 over the ground
and locate the road. We will keep
our readers advised as the work
progresses. -New Djminion.
STRANGE WEDDING.-We are in
formed that a boy of Is and a girl of
II years were recently married at

for the wedding, that she wasn't

hands. The next day the baby
bride started to school as usual j

miserable worms and grubs all day,

Reform at the Naval Academy.
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF
VISITORS.


The board OF visitors of the Naval Academy
at Annapolis has made report to the Secre-
taIy OF the Navy, recommending the adding OF
number OF new models illustrating the latest
improvements in naval construction to those
how used In the several departments of the
school, and also the fitting out of steam war
vessel, armed with smooth bore guns, upon
which gunnery can be practiced by the cadets
while moving under steam OF sail. The board
says OF the English studies that 1t would be
most desirable addition to this course to bring
into it more Of study of the government and Of
the people whose rights and honor the cadets
are appointed to defend. The board are OF the
opinion that the lowest age OF admission might
oe raised to fifteen years. and that the standard
OF admission might be raised by providing for
temporary sub cadetship for the instruction
Of such applicants as may be deficient. Toe
general management and discipline OF the
academy are highly commended In the opin-
ion Of the board 1t is Necessary that only enough
cadets shall graduate from the Naval Academy
20 make good the annual waste Of the navy,
and that Congress should, by careful lie yisla-
ton, provide against the accumulation OF mid
shipmen and cadet engineers to grow old In
those inferior grades to the manifest injury OF
the naval service, its discipline and its useful
Less. The present system seems to the board
very fruitful of evil.

Relation Of the Nose TO the Face.
A somewhat singular fact has been observed

rather. the setting of it In the face. so to speak
To be strictly correct from the artists point OF
view. the nose should be accurately In the mid
die OF the face and at right angles with q line
from the pupil OF one eye TO that of the other.
As matter OF fact it Is rarely or never found
thus placed; IL is almost Invariably little out
OF 1.-The square" and the fact of its being so Is
and piquancy to the face. A meiicai writer
points out that there are anatomical reasons
why slight deviation from the true central
line may De expected. and that the nose which
is tnus accurately straight between the two
eyes may after all be considered an ABNORMAL
one; the only absolutely true and correct organ

Habits Of Insects.

Sir Sohn Lubbock, President of the
British chronological Society, called
attention the other dav in his annual
address, to the researches of NJ. Fabre
on the habits Of insects. Among other
things NJ. Fabre has continued his
curious observations on the solitary
waSps He describes the singular state
of paralysis into which they throw their
victims, which, if killed, would decay,
and if buried alive would, in their
struggles, almost infallibIy destroy the
egg or young larva Of the wasp. The
wasp, however Stings them in such
a manner rs to pierce the ganglia, and
thus, without killing them, almost de.
priyes them of all power Of movement.
One species Of SpheX which preys ON a
grasshoppor (Ephippigera), after hay
ing almost paral yzed her victim in the
usual manner, throws it on lis back,
bends the head so Us to extend the artic-
cuator Of the neck, and then, selling
the membrane between the head and
body with her jaws, brushes the gangli-
on-truly II marvellous instinct.
Unlike the genus SpheX, BembeX
brings from time to time fresh food to
her young, and it is remarkable how the
Bcmbex remembers (if one may use
such wOrd) the entrance to her cell,
covered rs il is with sand, exactly to
ordinary eyes like that all around. Yet
she never makes Il mistake or loses her
way. On the other hand, M. Fabre
found that if he removed the surface Of
the earth and the passage, thus expos
ing the cell and the larya the BembeX
was quite at loss and did not even
recognize her own offspring. 1t seems
as if she knew the doors, nursery, and
the passage, but not her child Another
ingenious experiment of NJ. Fabre's was
made with Chaicodoma. This genus is
inclosed in an earthen cell, through
which at maturity the young insect
eats its way. NJ. Fabre found that if he
pasted piece of paper round the cell
the insect had no difficulty in eating
through it, but if he inclosed the cell in
"A paper case, so that there was space
even of only n few lines between the
cell and the paper, in that case the pa
per formed an eilectual prison. The in
Slinct of the insect taught it 10 bite
through one Enclosure, but it had not
wit enough to do so second time.
