Beef Eating i'm Japan.

"A Japanese contributor in the
| was u young boy the custom of eat
ing beef began TO spread. AS blood
was regarded as unclean, and also rs
Japan had been "A strong agricultural
country. there was a deep-rooted dis
inclination To eat beef In this. Of
course, one has also to recognize the
influence of the vegetarian principle
of Buddhism, but TO anybody who had
ever tasted beef IL was so delicious
that he could hardly control his nat
ural appetite by his religious scruple
MY father was one of those who
knew its taste, and so now and then
we used TO treat ourselves TO beef.
But where did we eat it? We did not
eat it inside the house. We cooked
and ate it in the open air. and in cook
ing and i'm eating we did not use the
ordinary utensils, but used special
ones kept for the purpose. Why all
these things? Because beef was UNI
clean. and we did not like to spread its
uncleanliness into our house wherein
the god shelft is kept, and into our
ordinary utensils. which might be
used in making offeringfis to the gods.
The day when we ate beef my father
did not offer lights to the gods nor
say evening prayers to them, as he did
usually. for he knew he was unclean
and could not approach the gods"

Men Whom Surgeons Admire.

The old proverb while there's life
there's hope" gains good deal of
force from these brief sketches Of men
who triumphantly survived almost
every form Of accident:
A few months ago died Thomas
Rushton of Walkden. Lancashire. Most
of his life was spent in hospitals con-
sequent on his many mishaps When
) years old he fractured both thighs,
and before he had fairly recovered he
fell downstairs and sustained double
fracture. Thenceforward his life was
one long series Of misfortunes, for be-
sides breaking both legs % times, he
sustained many injuries and under
went countless operations.
A short time ago the Lancet men
toned the case of a man who had
fractured his limbs six times. and on
each occasion the accident occurred on
the same date-n namely. August % Be-
fore he was rs he had met with five
such mishaps, so he resolved for the
future always TO remain at home on
the fatal 10Th. 1t CHANGED, however,
feet health and activity, but the lapse

luton, he went to work on the I'M

FOR The PRIx De ROME
ORDEAL PASSED THROUGH BY
THOSE COMPETING.
Must work In solitary Confinement For
seventy-Two Hours and Depend
Entirely Upon Themselves
To All Intents.

i A promise has been made to lodge
art students competing for the Prix de
Rome In the palace to Compiegne, but
has not as yet been kept, says the
London News. The ten selected TO
compete must mediate In cells at the
Ecole DIES Beaux Arts. The ordeal to
which competitors are subjected was
begun to-day. They are to work in
solitary confinement during seventy
two days. but the first thirty-six hours
are the most trying. The cell is barer
/ than any in Il monastery, where the
crucifix relieves the darkness Of the
walls. All the furniture would not
fetch 100 francs at the auction mart.
| 1t consists of mattress, pillow and
\ bolster. a rush mat, an easel a chair
and small table. There is nothing
else. As light comes from above there
/ is no outlook.
The competitor is thrown completely
upon himself, but especially during the
first three days. He is then deprived
Of all communication with the outside
world, and is to all intents and pur-
poses in jail The sketch of his COM
peting picture must be made in that
time. He may subsequently modify
his design. but must not change the
main features. The figures are to keep
their original attitudes, no figure is to
be withdraw, and the design is TO be
duplicated. one of the two drawings
is sealed up and sent 10 a jury. The
student keeps the other This done,
the door of the cell is unlocked. the
occupant can go in and out, pay, hut
not receive visits, and is free TO take
his meals where he pleaSes. He may
take his drawing to his master and
consult with him as to the best means
of hiding general defects or enhancing
what is meritorious by means of
changes in detail and by effects Of
color.
1t sometimes happens that there is
triplicate. so that Il copy may be given
to the professor should he be disposed
To work it up. But this Is against the
spirit of the rules. In point of fact, it
is rare not to see the masters hand in
the PriX de Rome paintings when they
are finished and ready TO be exhibited.
The subjects are chosen by the jury
and generally are classic or historical
and demand what is termed here
noble style of treatment Plutarch,
Tacitus and Caesar are the great pur-
veyors Of subjects. Scenes from sacred
history are sometimes chosen There
is no more unintereStiug exhibition
than that of the PriN dc Rome. Sell
dom, indeed. is originality shown. or
the promise of future excellence given.
Most of the pictures are 50 to speak,
cooked according 10 recipe. wanting
in expression ana crude in coloring.
To obtain u PriX de Rome enables
the student to complete his art educa-
ton in Italy at the cost of the state
When there he lives at the villa de
Medici and is under the special pa
tronage Of the French ambassador.
The stay in Rome wdens his aesthetic
views and awakens. perhaps. the his
torical sense, for Rome is a museum
city. 1t is of the most service to stu
dents who devote themselves to re-
ligiouS art and portraits. 1t certainly
helps them TO understand Italian art
OF the grand period.

Chadwick Day.

Morgantown opens wide its arms
and extends the glad hand to-day
toreceiye and welcome the throng of
distinguished guests which come to
do honor to one Gifts fellow citizens
In all the history Of this ancient
and distinguished Communicates
tinguished for its natural beauties of
location and environment; distin-
gushcd for the culture and refine
ment of it's entire population; dis
tinguished all over the land for its
educational facilities-its principal
industry has been that Of making
men.
1t has sent out pen to-fill with
honor all stations in life, in all states
of the Union. in all sections of our
great country, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific; and from the Pcnobscot
in Maine to the Gulf of Mexico.
Morgantown has had representatives
who delight to own her as either their
native town or the home Of their al
ma mater, in nearly all the high
official stations of the national gov
eminent, in the executive and judi
cial chairs of other states, in the
pulpit, and at the forum, and at the
head OF the great industrial enter
prises of the country There are
more men scattered over the land,
who keep its memory green, and
fondly call it home, than any other
town in the State, or probably, in
the Union, can boast. Its history is
honorable, its name is illustrious,
and it's memory is cherished by a
great host above any other town. 1t
is peculiarly appropriate, therefore,
that some of the most distinguished
men of the nation from high official
places in the national government,
as well as our neighbors and friends
from many sections, should honor
the town, and honor themselves, by
coming to do honor to one among
the many of its distinguished citi-
zens.
Morgantown, for this occasion,
dons its brightest garb, puts on its
most gracious obeisance, proflers its
ancient and most generous hospi-
tallty, and bids everybody come in
and feel at home.
