Honorary Degrees.

Our many readers are no doubt
glad to see such a number. of the
alumni expressing in no qualified
terms their disapproval of the actions
Of. the Board Of Regents in finging
around in a promiscnous manner, hon
orary degrees from the first edHca-
tional institution in the state, and
one Of the foremost of the country.
So common has this become in many
colleges that the Commissioner of
Education has published an article
on it in which the bad results arising
therefrom are pointed out and also
comparison Of the numb Ter of hon
orary degrees conferred by each col
lege is given. m III.
The University of Virginia oecu-
pies theEpreudest post Of all, for, in
corporated in her laws, posted over
her doors and permeating every man
connected with that University is
the sentiment, AHtsNo honorary de-
grees are bestowed here" No $40
600 gift, no victory in battle, no polit-
ical preferment can influence her to
make the donor, or victor Or success
ful.politician an IL. D., ord. D. So far
has this custom advanced that cases
are frequent of individuals asking
some college-o or university for d de-
gree, or even of their offering, to buy
one, and frequently they get it.
Probably it has not gone SO far here,
but still it must be confessed that it
seems much easier to get an honor
airy degree than a degree that repre-
sents years Of hard brain work. The
honorary degrees conferred at last

lie at such a rate in a few years they
will surpass the entire number Of
graduates. Such a state Of affairs
is. certainly not encouraging to the
alumni and students. The more

Men distinguished in no walk Of life

ates the value of degrees in worthy

have the welfare of our 4 Ina Mater
in view and not from any cynical
motives. There is away to remedy
this, and that is by placing alumni
on the Board Of Regents. They mum
ber>some of the foremost men in the
state, and are more qualified than
those unacquainted with the work
ings of the University tooccupy this
responsible position. The desire Of
these more than any one else to see
their University prosper, and more
energy would be expended by them
to attain this end.

ED1goRs Univ. DAILY: We take
great pleasure in writing you con
corning the prosperity Of Bethany
College Each year for the past
three years the number of her stu.

is the greatest in the history of the
college. Our patronage is not local
but national. Twenty states and
different parts of Canada are repre-

The college is on a safe financial
footing. $4,000 has been added to
her endowment within the last three

Important Supplement to Report of
a ShepherdstOWn Normal.

The largest number of pupils en-
rolled in one year was S6 in. 1876.
After that time, partly from want of
constant support and partly from
contention and other causes the en-
rollment decreased gradually to AZ.
In 1886 the school was partly reor-
ganized, the work being completed
in 1867. Since that time the school
has been slowly but steadily increas-
ing its enrolment and constantly
growing in favor with patrons and
the public generally. The enroll
ment for this year is II.

full experiment.
An article of DR.. Ernst, in the
American Journal Of the Medical
Sciences, by which the foregoing
remarks were suggested, contains
the results Of such experiments.
If its statements are confirmed
by further observations, no one
need wonder longer at the pre-.
valenCe of this dread scourge of
our race, or remain ignorant of the
proper methods of preventing its
ravages. If cows milk is the
great career of tuberculosis, then
1t must be cooked, like any other
animal food. DR.. Ernst's expert
mentS were made in the most
careful way. The buildings in
which the cows were kept were
clean, scrubbed, washed with
bichlOride of mercury solution,
and whitewashed. Before the
COWS were MIXED the nudders
anu teatS were thoroughly clean
ed. The milk was drawn into
sterilized TASKS and examined for
the Bacillus tuberculosis. Milk
was thus taken from thirty.six
cows, all presenting distinct SYM
ptOms of tuberculosis, but none
having discOverable diseases of
the udder or teats. In the milk
of ten of these cows the Bacillus
tuperculOsis was fOund-that is,
in CO. per cent. The cream, after
rising, was found to contain dacilli
nearly as often as the milk upon
which it tiOated. Numerous inOcu-
latiOn experiments were made
with the milk upon rabbits and
guinea pigs, producing tubercu.

periments were made under the
auspices of the Massachusetts
Society for the Promotion of
Agriculture, the microscope work
being done at the sOciety's labor
atOry and in that of the Harvard
Medical School.

A Remarkable Vision.

MOORFIELD, w. Va, April l.
The following remarkable story is
that in connection with the late
Daniel Thompson, of Hampshire
County. who died few days ago.
One morning twenty-One years
ago Mr.. Thompson was lying wide
awake in bed after daybreak,
when, as he claimed, he had
vision in which Christ appeared
to him and told him he had four
teen years longer to live. A short
time before the fourteen years eX-
PRED he said the vision appeared
to him again, and said if he so de-
sired he would be given seven
years longer to live. Mr.. ThOmp-
son replied that his visitor should
do as he desired, though he did
not wish to live and become a
burden to his family.
Mr.. Thompson often talked to
his friends of these visions, and
always said he would die March
II, 1890, not exactly on that date,
but somewhere near it. He died
twelve days later. A singular
fact in connection with the vision
was that he always referred to
Christ as wearing a beautiful rose
in his breast, and the flower so
impressed him that he made a
drawing of it for each of his chill
drcn.- PittSburg Dispatch.

A CavaIryman on Bravery.

An old veteran cavalryman, who
used to be with the 10th New
York Cavalry in the late war, was
chatting the other day with a par
ty of friends over his army expert
ences.
"This talk about bravery" said
he, "amuses me. This morning |
was looking at the great sheep
skin parchment which hangs on
my wall, and which made me a
brevet Major. The rsasons for
this honor are stated on the
sheepskin, for gallantry at Ream'S
Station. This was one of Han
cocks great fights, Oh the railroad

The fact is that, instead of being
gallant in this combat, by which
we only escaped by the skin of
our teeth, | was scared to death,
and it was only my pride, and not
my bravery, which kept me from
running away. The fact is, men
are never brave who have not
character enough in their compo-
sitiOn to give them pride and self
respect."-I New York Star.

A Mosaic M z SIS.

Newspapers are firm believers
in the doctrine they so constantly
proclaim, that advertising pays,
and show their faith by their work.
There is no paper Of any impOr-
lance that does not try to keep
itself constantly before the public
in this way, and many and ingc-
NOUS are the devices used to
attract attention. One of the
most conspicuous of these is that
of the New York Mail and EX-
press, which the guild profanely
calls the 'religiOus racket" This
paper prints verse of Scripture
at the head of it's editorial columns
every day, and never fails to take
umbrage at anything that seems
to controvert the literal rendering
of Bible statements, of which it
seems to consider itself the aSpir-
ed champion and sole Interpreter.
It's latest tourney is with DR..
Amelia B. Edwards, whose lee
lures on EgygtOlOgy have been
received with so much favor in
this and other cities Philadelphia
probably contains as many be-
levers in the Bible as any other
city in the world; but no question

Value of Rare Books.

1t is, however, by no means easy
to say what book will not become
rare nowadays. A volume that
has a limited circulation, and is
liable to be destroyed, always has
a chance of acquiring fame in this
direction. That is why some
children's books have become so
exceedingly scarce. And probably
for similar reason "Bradshaw's
Railway Guide" is now numbered
among the rare ones. OF course
it is not to he supposed that the
monthly numbers of this perplex-
ing periodical have any value
over and above their published
price, but the early numbers, pub.
lished well-nigh half a century
ago, are worth money. | saw an

Danger in Unboiled Milk.

1t is now known that tuber-
culOSis is very common in the cat
tie whose flesh forms such a large
part of our food. Were it not for
the protection given by cooking,
the history of this disease would
perhaps be a much sadder one
than it is. But there is one sort
of animal food derived from the
COW which is taken uncOOked. 1t
is not possible that cows milk is
the great source of the infection
of our race? 1t is stated that the
appearance of tuberculosis among
certain tribes of men dates from
the time when cattle from dairy
farms were introduced. 1t is fur
Their stated that 80 per cent of
dairy cattle suffer at some time
from tuberculosis. The impOr-
tant point to investigate is wheth-

that it is, when the understanding

therefore, is whether the milk of
tubcrculous COWS is likely to con
tain tubercuIar disease of the

"Sanitarians as Alarmists."

"Sanitarians as Aiarmsts."
1t is strange and surprising to
find in a prominent professional
organ encouragement of the vul-
gar. and senseless notion that
sanitary warnings chimericaI, and
infectious perils unreal, because
most of us have never yet know
ingly suffered from disregarding
them, and perhaps never will.
We have supposed it to be a re-
deeming trait Of the medical pro-
fession, which covers multitude
of-well, impertectiOns-that all
practicable safeguards against
possible dangers to health are
most strenuously insisted on by
doctors, of all men. Yet this is
what one of their representative
periodicals - hardly representa-
tive in this. we are confident
thinks it appropriate to say or
"Sanitarians as Alarmists."
"Men are willing to be scared a
little, but they will not allow
themselves to be scared too much.
