HONORARY DEGREES.
rimss whan Thay Were Bestowed Upon
Unwilling Subjects.


1t lie to be supposed, sin the judg-
nent of charity" at least, that col
lege degrees are never conferred in
these days except as they are deserved.
This has not always been true, how
ever, and partly for this reason, partly,
perhaps, out of feeling of modesty,
some men have Stunned honorary
titles almost as earnestly as others
have coveted them. Speaking about
this subject, the Boston Watchman
says:
Judge Peters is authority for the
statement that after La Fayette had
been made doctor of laws by one of
our colleges, Baron Stuben was in great
fear lest he should meet with similar
mishap. Having to pass through a col
lege town where the marquis had been
thus distinguished, the old warrior
halted his men and thus addressed
them:
''You shall spur de horse veil, and
ride troo de town like de mischief,
for, if dey catch you, dey make one
,octor of YOU
The tough old soldier had no more
aspect for such distinction than his
,untryman, Handel, who refused to
ccept the degree of doctor Of music
ON Oxford.
Vat, frow my money away for dat
"a hlnolyhaod,r x;sht Il NJ ,r,n@ :, ",
gon doctor"
There is story that not long ago,
when college degrees were scattered
,omewhat lavishly, an illiterate rich
nan, having been honored with de-
rec by college which he had laid un-
or obligation, made wager that he
ould obtain similar honor for his
arvant.
He won the wager, and, encouraged
BY his success, made another that he
could obtain q degree for his horse.
This time, however, he lost. The col
lege authorities got wind Of his game,
and, in answer to his letter requesting
a doctorate for so and so, the president
wrote a courteous note, saying that
though the trustees were very anxious
to oblige so good friend of the col
lege, they had found on examination
OF the records that though they had
once conferred a degree upon a jaclass
there was no precedent for comforting
one upon a horse.

A RABBIT MINER.
The Little Animal Led an Indian to
Fortune In Silver.

The Little Animal Led an Indian to .
Fortune In Silver.
The famous silver mines of Potosi,
in South America, were discovered by
IN Indian who was in pursuit of an
,ntelope. He was climbing the steep
slope of hill and seized bush to help
iimself up. The plant gave way and
ne started to fall backward, but by
desperate effort saved himself, and,
falling forward, cut his nose against
projecting ledge of stone, says the New
York journal.
Stopping to stanch the flow Of blood,
he chanced to look at the stone which
had done the damage, when, to his as
tonishment, he perceived it was almost
'ure silver.
This story may be apochrvphal, but
Il tale which comes from Mexico is
tolerably well authenticated. Ac-
cording to this narrative, one of the
richest mines in that land of mineral
wealth was found by rabbit. An
Indian was hunting rabbits and his
dog chased one to hole in a hillside.
The Indian hesitated for a moment
whether to dig out the rabbit he had
seen enter or go in pursuit Of another,
Determining finally that one rabbit in
hole was worth more than half
ilozen on rocky hillside, he got
made and went to work,
Before he had turned over half
,ozen spadefuls of earth he had for
yotten all about the rabbit, for he
made the thrilling discovery that he
us handling almost solid silver. The
ian dropped his spade and ran to his
mployer with the intelligence, the
after returning with him to the spot
to see for himself and verify the dis
covery. The rabbit escaped; at least it
is supposed it did for it enters no
more into the story, but its memory is
preserved in the name of the mine,
which, being translated into English,
signifies the Rabbits Dem"
1t would have been well for the
Indian if he had escaped when the
rabbit did, for, according to the story,
the poor fellow was murdered by the
Spaniard, who desired to keep the
secret of the mine and was afraid that
the Indian might reveal it and the gov
ernment might step in and claim either
the whole or large part Of the pro-
ceeds,

9he true story Of Frsneh Convict ut
T0ulon.


No criminal Is altogether hardened;
springs of kindness and feeling for his
fellow-beings still exist within his
nature, If one could but find thcm. The
author Of Secrets Of the Prison House"
tells "a true story Of a French convict at
Toulon.
Among the free laborers, who work
side by side with the prisoners, was an
Italian who always treated them with
great kindness, and became in conse-
quence very much beloved. One day,
however, the italian seemed to be much
depressed, and he confided to his fol-
low-laborers the fact that he was ter
ribly in want of money, Not many
days after, one Of the convicts escaped,
sought the Italian out at his home, and
said to him:
"Now | give myself up to you. My
capture will bring you the reward of n
hundred francs, and that will help you
out Of your difficulties"
For a long time the italian refused
to take advantage of the fugitive's self
sacrifice, but at length he yielded and
led back the prisoner.
The wife of a well-known journalist
was reused one night, when she was
alone in the house, by sounds which
convinced her that burglars must be
below. The courageous old lady rose
and went downstairs into the dining
room, where she found man in the
act of rifling the sideboard He
promptly knocked her down, but as
soon as she could recover herself she
got up and quietly took seat. Then
she addressed the burglar.
Il suppose you have been driven to
these evil courses by WANT she said;
"but why add cowardly violence to
your crimeP You see l am an old
woman--old enough to be your mother
Is your mother still alive? Do you re-
member her? What would you say or
do to man who struck her in the face
and knocked her DOWN."
Her words had marked effect on
the housebreaker. He was evidently
moved to the heart
I'm sorry, ma'am," he said, 'and
Pm ashamed of what I'm doing. |
won't take anything belonging to you
except this five-pound note. But |
really am in desperate straits, and /
want money badly"
He emptied his pockets Of the silver
he had taken, but with the full con
sent of the old lady made off with the
five pounds. Some time afterward an
envelope reached her, addressed in
strange hand, and in it was five
pound note.

Coal-Dust Explosions.

The mining Of coal is attended with
many dangers, but none more to be
dreaded than the dust explosions that
are liable to occur at any instant and
against which, in many instances, not
even the most ordinary precautions are
taken. The air becomes thick with
dust, which by some means comes in
contact with flame, and the fire, spread
ing with inconceivabla rapidity, causes
The most terrific explosions. 1t ia
claimed that all danger in this direc-
tion may be removed by a carefully
arranged system Of spraying water
through all the passageways. The
wet Particles at once fall to the
ground and may be washed away by
falling water or trodden down by the
feet Of the miners. Recent investiga-
tion seems to prove that gas alone pro-
duces comparatively few Of the more
dreadful accidents, but that gas and
coal dust mingled make an explosive
compound thatis greatly TO be dreaded.

MAKING POETRY.
There Il Often Hard Work as Wen as
Inspiration.

There Il Often Hard Work as Well as
Inspiration.
There are yet some persons left who
fancy that poetry is the product Of a
fine frenzy; that the poet of genius
awakes from q sublimated cataleptic
trance to fill page after page with ef-
FORTRESS beatitudes, A number of man
useript sheets OF Longfcllow's ''Ex-
celsior,' which may be found in Har-
ward, should not only explode this
theory, writes Boston correspondent,
but give hope TO many discouraged
amateur. As Longfellow first con-
structed the first verse Of this poem it
ran.
The shades Of night were falling fast
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth who, as the peasants sung,
Responded In an unknown tongue.
Excelsior.
This was manifestly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might af-
ford rhyme for the youths response
in an unknown tongue, A second trial
at the verse, however, not only failed
to improve it, but arranged it in such
form that it is difficult to believe Long
fellow guilty of the fault. The two
last lines of thew were made to read:
Ayouth who bore pearl Of price,
A banner with the strange device.
There are not many, even among
the magazine poets of to-day, who
would consent to refer to banner as
pearl 'of price" But the poet had
by this time three lines to his liking,
and the substitution of "a youth who
bore mid snow and ice" completed the
verse as it has been read and spoken
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. All Of which goes 70 show
that the genius Of the poet Is in the
conception, and that the production Of
the poem, being quite another matter,
lies solely in the direction Of patient
labor.
