Value of n College Trailing.

From the New York Ledger.
The oft-debated question as to the value
OF college training seems to US to be hardly
an open question at all. The fact set over
against the college training is usually the
manifest one that a great many forceful
men have managed to make their way and
to accomplish great things without the cur
riculum Of the college. These are persons
Of such great force that they could not be
kept down even by great disadvantages.
But such persons are rare outside colleges
or within them. They might have been
still more capable men by the aid of college
training. 1t Is well known that many such
persons have lamented their disadvantages.
1t would be difficult to show what harm a
college training could have done them.
But colleges, like many other institutions.
are for the average person, and we cannot
conceive but that the average person is
always better. for the help which the coll
lege course gives. While we find some per-
sons who ire conspicuous for their abilities
and capacities who have not been regularly
educated. the fact is the majority of peo-
pie in high places are college men.

BITTEN by A MAD DOG.
The Horse Ate Nose Bags and mills

The Horse Ate Nose Bags and mills
In Preference to Grain.
A horse belonging to Patrick Flanagan
that was bitten last fall by mad dog in the
streets of New Rochelle. N. Y. died recent
ly. Veterinarian J. p. Nestler says that It
was clear case Of hydrophobia
Mr.. Flanagan did not believe a horse
could go mad. and one morning when he
found that old Dan refused to eat hay, and
snapped viciously at it and Knawed the
manger, he attributed the horses strange
conduct to fit of collie Dan, after he had
been hitched to the wagon, became quite un-
manageable and went through the streets
at an extraordinary pace, swaying his head
and swapping his jaws together.
The story went round that Flannigan's
horse was going mad, and after that every
one but Flanagan gave Dan plenty Of room
-Mr. flannigan was surprised to see Dan act
SO queerly, and was quite exhausted by
noon time from his efforts to control him.
Dan would not look at the oats given him
at the noon rest. He seized the oat bag in
his teeth, and after splitting the grain tried
to bite Mr.. Flanagan. who was incensed
at seeing good grain wasted. Dan next lay
down. breaking the wagon thills and his har-
ness.
Mr.. Flanagan made I'D his mind then
that Dan was sick. He managed, after
much lodging about to avoid Dams teeth.
to get him back in his STALL Dan was no
better here, and Veterinarian Nestler was
summoned.
DR.. Nestler declared that Dan was suffer-
ing from hydrophobia, and instead of shoot
ing the animal. determined to watch the
progress of the disease.
Dan died hard. He tore down his manager,
broke his teeth on the nails in his stall,
kicked down the partitions and was max
ing good progress toward demolshing the
rickety barn in which he was tied, when
death overlook him soon after midnight
DR.. NeStler said the immediate cause of
death was paralysis.
Dan had been a faithful horse. He was
bitten while at work nearly three months
ago by dog that jumped up and set his
teeth into Dams nose. The wound was
cauterized, and it was thought all danger
from the disease was past.
The dog that bit Dan bit many dogs in
New Rochelle that were afterward found
and shot

Oven Doors Of Crystal.

It has remained for a woman to invent
and patent glass doors for ovens. The won.
der is that the ideal has not long ago been
thought of by some Woman who cooks. All
cooking instructors lay the greatest stress
on the care to be observed in opening an
oven door to watch the progress Of cakes or
mullins. Maria Parloa, making sponge cake,
touches the knob with the most delicate
care and lightness,l dreading to jar the cake
within, aid peeks through the smallest
crack that will afford the necessary glance.
What a relief to walk boldly up to the
oven and through these transparent doors,
which the genius Of Michigan woman has
discovered, study at leisure the progress of
rising cake dough or crisping fowl.

TOMBsTOyEs OF GLASS,
An Experimental Monument With
Lettering by Sand-Blast.
FROM fbo

An experimental Monument With
Lettering by Sand-Blast.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
A glass tombstone is certainly something
VI ique. Such grave marker stands in but
one place in the United States, and that is
in the cemetery overlooking the city of Kit
tanning. 1t has but recently been set up
there over the grave of Mrs. Elizabeth Pep
per Of Ford City by her son. Matthias Pep
per.
The kittanning cemetery possesses many
natural and artificial beauties. 1t has been
handsomely laid out, with winding walks,
stately trees and ornamental shrubbery, and
In 1t are many pretentous monuments. Not
one of the piles Of marble and granite at
tracts SO much attention as the piece of
polished glass. with its clear inscription
which stands on gentle slope falling slow
ly from the hill top.
Matthias Pepper, who had the glass set
up. is assistant superintendent at the Ford
City factory. The piece used as q grave
memorial IL part of large plate which
was made Of unusual thickness for the con-
struction of circular panes to cover the
portfolios of ocean steamships. The practi-
cal indestructibility Of glass was the quality
which suggested to Mr.. Pepper its use in the
cemetery Marble and granite seem to many
to be almost eternal in their hardness but
they are far from 1t, and not at all to be
compared with glass; Wind and rain heat
and cold have their effects on stone Of any
granite and cause it to crumble Go into
any old graveyard, where stones were erect
ed more than 100 years ago. and 1t will be
found to be the exception where all the let
tering on the monuments can be made out
The stone has crumbled and the outlines
have been obliterated. No effect is produced
by the weather on glass.
The Pepper monument is Of plate glass
one inch thick. foot and a half wide, and
four feet high. 1t stands in a mortise cut
Into q cube Of sandstone. The top of the
glass is arched The lettering on it is made
by the sand blast process, and is distinct
The monument bears this Inscription:
In memory of Elizabeth Pepper of Ford
City. Died February 4. 1892. Aged seventy
seven years
also. William Pepper. husband of the
above. Died -. Age, -
From this inscription 1t may be Inferred.
truly, that William Pepper is still living
The Peppers are of English birth, and came
to Ford City years ago directly from the
Great Biltipgham glass works in London.

Margaret Bottome in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Just before I left for Europe last sum-
mer great box came to me, filled with
dolls. all dres sed, and the request came
with 1t that 1 should have the m sent to a
cbildren's hospital. There is a hospital in
the city Of New York for consumptive chill
dren as well as for older people with the
same disease. and / gave the dolls to a
physician who is connected with that hos
pital. He said afterward he wished I could
have seen the children trooping toward
him, each carrying doll.
But the most touching thing to me was
what the nurse told the doctor, that after
every child was furnished with a doll there
were number left, and the poor women
dying with consumption asked If each
nigh: have doll. They all wanted them
and the nurse said she could not have
dreamed Of their being such a comfort to
those poor. sick women. There were just
enough dolls for each to have one. All,
who can tell the thoughts they had of ear
lier days when they took q little wee one
close to their heart. az they now took those
little dolls.

Its Real Meaning Concealed by tho
Irish Author.
From the Westminster Gazette.
What Is spoken Of as lone Of the cleverest
political poems ever composed" has recently
come under notice. 1t was written by
Arthur Connor Tor O'Connor), the friend Of
Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and. like him, a
prominent figure In the Irish rebellion of

when on his way to France on a secret mis-
sion. After being detained in Kilmainham
Jail for some time he was al length removed
with other political prisoners to Fort George,
in Scotland. 1t was while on his way
thither that he distributed copies Of the
following poem, which was regarded as
proof of his return to loyalty:

Defeat and ruin seize the cause
OF France, Its liberties. and lawsf
If the above lines be read continuously
they seem to express very loyal sentiments.
But IL you read the first line Of the first verse
and then the first line of the second verse
you will find that they breathe the spirit of
rampant rebellion:
The pomp of Courts and pride of Kings
I fain would Danish far from hence;
prize above all earthly things
The Rights of Man. and Common sense.
I love my country, but the King

Weary of Self-Made Mems BraR.

FROM the st. Louis Mid-Continent.
Mr. Moody has a popular and very tell
ing way of hitting" the errors which are
80 rife in the theological thinking of many
persons today. Speaking of salvation by
grace. he says: at is we'll that a man can't
save himself. for IL a man could only work
his own way to heaven you never would
hear the last of 1t. Why, down here in
this world. if a man happens to get little
ahead of his fellows and scrapes few
thousand dollars together you'll hear him
Dragging about his being 'self-made man.
and telling how he began as a poor boy
and worked his way up in the world I've
heard SO much Of this sort Of thing that
Tn sick and tired of the whole business
and I'm glad We shan't have men Dragging
through all eternity how they worked their
way into heaven"

Women Burglars in London.

from the London Telegraph
Women burglars will exercise a soothing
moral influence on the profession If their
example OF always including family Bible
IN their plumber be adopted by their breth-
rem, followed by assiduous devotion to
reading the volume. One burglarious dam
sci named Sarah Cummins broke into a
house in Fortescue avenue, North London
and appropriated the family Bible, a clock
and an album-the last either through
curiosity or spite-and would, no doubt.
have taken something else had her move
ments not been sufficiently noisy to awaken
the sleepers and thus cause her own ar
rest. Sarah honestly admitted that she
broke into the house for the purpose of
stealing, and asked to be allowed to retain
the Scriptures. This could not, of course,
be done. but no doubt a copy will be pro
vided for her in her CELL although it might
be advisable for the authorities to attach
1t to the wall with chain. She has been
committed for trial at the central criminal
court.
