THE WELSH UNIVERSITY.

A London correspondent. in speaking
OF the position of the University Of
Wales, says there Is one passage in the
treasury minute relating to the Welsh
university grant which is likely to Gre
ate much controversy in educational
circles in Wales. 1t is that directed
against colleges whose students matric.
ulate in any university other than the
Welsh. Only a summary of this min
ute has so far appeared. and 1t will
be impossible to estimate the full effect
of the provision until the complete text
OF the minute Is published.
There Is some suspicion among the
friends of the University of Wales in
the house of commons that 1t Is aimed
against that institution and they mean
to resist II In the most resolute fashion
when the opportunity affords. They
maintain. that hitherto Aberystwith
has achieved much more striking sue
cess In the London university exami-
nations than either or both of the other
Welsh colleges. An inspection of the
list OF passes, and more especially of
honors, during the last few years. re-
veals the indubltable superiority Of the
old college over the younger institu-
tions Of Wales In this respect. This Is
specially i.anifest in subject like
English literature, where examining
does not operate. sos fully as in certain
other subjects.

Washington acknowledged that he
regulates his domestic affairs with n
view to the accommodation of his IA
vorite dog, a very intelligent collie.
So far did he carry out this plan that
when the neighborhOOd became rather
warm for the dog as a result of ca,
nine disposition to bark before people
are out of bed, he forthwith moved
out of town and is now happily lOcat-
ed in the suburbs, where his pet makes
noise without fear of consequences.

the canine threatened to shoot it If

Few women realize the influence exerted
on their bodily and mental well-being by
the special organism of their sex. 1t is hard
for them to believe that the little drain
which goes on from day to day is sufficient
to sap away the very life forces. Yet 1t is SO.
The weakness, exhaustion, melancholy the
periodical prostration and sometimes almost
torture has no other cause, two-thirds of the
time, than the abnormal unhealthy condi-
ton of the generative organs. Strangely
enough even doctors often fail to recognize
the truth, For this condition there is no
other remedy in the world so helpful and
certain as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t restores health and vigor to the feminine
functions and renewed vitality to the entire
body. 1t heals Inflammation, stops dis
charges, strengthens the ligaments and
builds up the internal tissues which cannot
be reached by local treatment" 1t IS of
inestimable value to young women and to
prospective mothers, greatly lessening the
pains and perils of childbirth If taken dur
ing pregnancy. During the change Of
life 4" 1t is invaluable.
