SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The University of Pennsylvania has added to its many courses school of journalism.
 In the city of Edinburgh there are thirty-two churches of various de- nominations which have adopted un- fermented wine for communion pur- poses.
 -Lasell Seminary, Auburndale. Mass, will endow pew in the Amer iean church in Berlin, Germany, at 8 cost of one thousand dollars. Zion s Herald.
 A rule has been adopted by the faculty of the Indiana State University. that in future all members of the senior class shall take part in the commencement exercises, for which two days are to be given, and more ii necessary.
 Dresses worn by candidates for confirmation have grown so elaborate and showy lately that the Bishop of Rochester has protested. Young girls present themselves ''rather in the guise of 8 bride than in the simple toilet that befts the applicant for reception into the church. The Bishop mentions false pearls as particularly needing avoidance by poorer people, and satin shoes by the rich. In France it is the same. A confirmation dress was recently described by a French fashion paper as extremely 'fcoquet- tish." The Bishop, in his protest, de- clares that nothing would distress him more than to have to send candidate back for wearing showy or tawdry ap- parel, but he adds that for example sake it may be necessary for him to do so.

4 Soldier and Marine and Never Discov-
 cred to Be a Woman.
 Hannah Shell hourished in the rcign of George IL Her grandfather was soldier who fought at Nal plaquet; she married early, her hus- band being Dutch sailor, who mal= treated and deserted her, leaving her with 6 baby. which died, whercupon Hannah appropriated a suit of her brother-in-law' clothes, and assum- ing his name which was Thomas Grey. enlisting in General Gurse's regiment After awhile she deserted, but subsequently, re-enlisted in the navy as a marine, in which capacity she served~ in tho East and West Indies. From her dexterity in wash ing and mending for the men, and from her being beardless, she ac- quired the nickname of Miss Mollie;" but her bravery in action eventually caused her to be invested with the more honorable cognomen of Hearty Jenny."
 Being at last discharged from the service, during all which time her sex was undiscovered, Hannah Shell went on the stage, and appeared with much applause as Bill Bobstay, sailor, and as Firelock, a grenadier. In consid- eration of tho hardships she had undergone in the service of her coun- try which hardships comprised, among other tribulations, Gvo hun dred lashes that she got at the hal- berts, and an almost equally barbarous scourging at the gangway on board ship-Government awarded Hannah 8 pension of f20 (s10O) year, on the strength of which she took public house in London, with the appropriate sign of "The Widow in Masquerade; or the Female Warrior From Mod ern Amazons.

Water as a Medicine.

Some of the doctors have been tell ing their experience in practicing ''the faith cure;" in other words, working on the imagination of their patients. Besides the bread pills of which our forefathers partook, it seems that now we are indulging in small doses of in- jected water in the place of morphine. One of the Manhattan hospital physi- clans asserts that it often puts a patient to sleep quite as well as the drug. Dr. Clinton gives water tinct- ured with quinine instead of mor- phine, and reports that it works wonders. So also salt and water are surreptitiously administered in place of bromides. Are we in reality only bundles of fancies, or are we develop ing into physical era, in which the mind shall control the body in ways not formerly possible? Can we not manage in some way to fool ourselves and go to sleep without being fooled by the doctor? Who will invent a substantial trick on himself? - St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
