An Adjective That Pleased.

There is a mode of speech which may be
termed euphemistic by those who are fond
of calling spade a spade" but is it not
rather the natural expression of the charity
which never faileth To say the best of
Others is manifest duty, and to do it in
the prettiest language enhances it wonder
fully. And where defects exist that are
commented on by the unfortunate possessor
in that ill,judged fashion which attempts to
assume indifference to the imperfec.ions
how deity may the confdante turn the
current of self depreciation into a smoother
channel by "a nice arrangement of cpl
taphs." A young woman bewailed her thin
ness in the hearing of man of tact, who in
stanty exclaimed: "Thin Why you are

Possibly no sermon that this courtly
clergyman ever preached was more immedi-

so to choose her word as to present realities
in their most favorable light, and to make
truth palatable instead of hard, bitter aud
indigestible morsel.-NeW York Recorder.

Mr.. Gdllaher. An editor is regarded as q
walking encyclopedia-knows everybody
and everything in his community-a kind
of Pro Bono Publico, TO answer questions
and give desired information-as sine qua non
to the body politic-a real necessity to the
happiness, well-being and enlightenment OF
the dear people among whom he lives and
for whose advancement, morally, intellect
ually, socially and in matters great and
small he labors in his sanctum and sends
forth weekly his paper brim full of matter
that concerns any body and every body
every man, woman and child in the vicin-
age. Now, Mr.. Editor, / have one or more
questions to ask you which we, the people,
would like to have answered:
What is the matter with the town clock :?

Whose business is it to watch the clock,
regulate it and see that its works are in
order?
If there is such an employee, does he I'M
derstand his business, or is he ignorant of
clock machinery and his tinkeriDg makes
| it worse?
Is he a doer.up of corporation chores on
poor pay and don't care continental how

The editor is presumed to be good on
| the watch and an economizer of time; but
as to strikes he is, sometimes, non-commit-
tai. The editor of THE FREE PRESS doesn't
know who the present supervisor of the
town clock is. He does know that for more
than quarter of century the timepiece
on the courthouse has been doing faithful
service and that it must originally have
been first class bit of machinery. Proba-
bly, just now it needs thorough overhaul
ing and an appropriation TO that end may
be necessary He feels that way himself,
sometimes, Especially when he has to go
on tick without having been properly lubri-
cated.-Ed. T. p

The Improvement Of Horses.

The sooner the farmers in the United
States realize the fact that the ordinary and
commonly bred horse is likely to deteriorate
wear by year the better it will be for them.
The use of cables to drag street cars has al
ready reduced the service performed by
horses in the cities, and the extension OF
the trolley system in the suburbs and the
perfection of electric motors will relieve
many other thousands of horses from such
service. 1t has not been so very long since
nearly all the threshing was done by horses;
now only very small percentage of even
the threshing machines are worked by
horse power. Practically all of the plough
ing is now done by horses; but a cheap
and practical steam plough will be shown
to visitors to the Worlds Fair. and it is not
improbable that in ten years from now
quite large percentage of ploughing will
be done without the aid of horses. The
need in the cities and on the farms fer few
er horses will tend more and more to reduce
their market value. Commonly bred horses
will be the first to deteriorate in price; in
deed, it is doubtful whether finely bred
horses will suffer at all. There is no reason
why they should. The purposes for which
they are used will not be affected by any in
ventions revolutionizing methods OF trans
portation or tilage. Even though we could
fy in the air with balloon entirely under
control, a spin on the road behind a pair Of
trotters or a gallop across country would
give just as much pleasure as it ever gave
The horses who get the blue ribbons in the
horse shows will continue to be as valuable
as ever, while humber animals-those that
drag street cars and ploughs-will be less
valuable year by year.-Harper's Weekly.

West T1rgimia University.

DR.. W. w. Brown returned Saturday
from MOrgantown where he has been at
tending the meeting Of the University re-
gents. The board adjourned without tax
ing final action on the matters before 1t,
until July 20. The friction between Presi-
dent Turner and several Of the professors
eliminated in charges of more or less sever
ity in the Presidents report to the board,
and counter-complaints by the professors
against the head of the University. Among
the members Of the faculty who have in
CURED Dr.. Turner's displeasure are Prof
St. George I. Brooke, accused of disrespect
TO the President. and Prof. II. B. Daven-
port, charged with incOmpetency. Prof.
Brooke's ohense seems to have been that
he resented some interference on the part
of President Turner with the affairs of his
department, informing that gentleman that
the need Of the Law Department was TO
be severely let alone whereupOn an acrid
correspondence ensued Prof Davenport
replied to the charges of attempting to
shirk work and being incompetent, that he
has voluntarily taken more work than he
ever had heretofore. He says that when he
first became connected with the University
be had asked that a committee be appoint
ed to revise the engineering course. DR..
Turner appointed a committee, and left the
Professor Of Engineering of that committee,
but later he was made member at the IN
stance Of Prof Emery. Prof. Davenport
then compared the engineering course with
the school Of mines in Columbian College,
showing that instead of there being def
cheney in this lhisl department, it was in
the chemical department. He said that DIR.
Turner lad accused him Of incompetency,
and he recited the fact that he had attended
St. Johns College, the University of Vir-
ginia, and was graduate of Troy Poly
technic Institute, and suggested that it was
rather amusing that Greek scholar should
set himself up as a judge of what an en-
gineer should be.
Resolutions were adopted by the students
and presented to the regents, commencing
the work of Prof. Davenport and denying
the allegations Of ineficiency.
The board seems to be almost evenly d.
yided between the opponents and the
friends Of DR.. Turner, and it would be I'M
safe to predict his retention as president Of
the University or his removal. The fate of
several of the professors is also in doubt.
A resolution to repeal the co-education
clauses, thus prohibiting females from at
tending the University, was voted down.

The East India coOlie is fatalist; thinks
as little of killing himself as the Chinaman
or japanese. In point of fact he entertains
marked preference for self-destruction as
means of showing pique at real or fam
cied injury. In the city of Bombay this
tendency has long been source of consid-
cradle inconvenience and danger, as the ia
vorite method of the eastern suicide is to
jump into a well, and it is stated that there
is scarcely we'll in the city that has not, at
some time, been used for that purpose. An
ingenious native East Indian has met this
difficulty by inventing simple and durable
appliance, which has the merit of not only
preventing suicide, also accidental drowning
in wells So excelently is this device adapt
ed for this purpose that it has obtained the
approval of the Royal Humane Society of
Great Britain. 1t consists of hoop of
wood or metal, over which is stretched net
of light tarred rope with four-inch meshes.
Metallic drums support this net just far
enough under the water of the well to ena-
BILE the buckets to sink and dip, but there
is not enough water above the net to drown
a person.

The latest species of society recreation |
have heard Of is the Turkish bath party
A lady who wishes to give one of these par
ties first makes all necessary arrangements
with the proprietor of high class bathing
establishment. The necessary accommoda-
tions must be prepared and reserved at the
appointed hour for a specified number of
guests Refreshments are to be provided
and desirable attendants secured. Occasion
ally the whole establishment may be taken
for the time being, says a recent New York
letter
The SWEETEST of these parties are given in
the evening, aud the hostess gathers her
friends around her and they all enjoy their
bath in company. There is no hurry, but
ample time for chat and comparing notes
as the various processes go on. After the
finishing touches have been put on there is
a supper at some club or restaurant, and in
this the gentlemen guests, who have been
awaiting the arrival of the bsthers, take
part with the best grace possible. The par
ties are understood to have originated with
Mrs. Charles H. Raymond. The idea is
certainly novel one.
