RESCUED THE ANTIQUE.
(From the Buffalo Expressly

It Is TO be doubted whether anyone
now living has had as great an inrlu.
ence upon the furnishing Of American
houses, In the last 10 or 90 years, as
Mrs. Alice Morse Earle. To her more
than anyone else was due the cult OF
the antique. The old a%nd.irons. shov.
els and tongs which have been hauled
out OF the attic and restored to the par
lor: the old. blue Staffordshire and
brown Bennington pottery. which mas
found It's way from kitchen shelves to
the mantelpiece; the battered tables
and desks and chairs that have return.
cd from their Journey to the loft; the
samplers that have been so nicely
framed and hung upon the wall.-these
and all those other objects used by
our grandfathers and grandmothers.
that have ben rescued and are once
more Haunted before the eyes of those
who! have no ancestors, testify to the
Influence of Mrs. Earle. or course,
there have been other influences in
the same direction, notably the pa.
triotic societies. but she was the great.
est influence of all. She owed her In:
fluence to her books. which described
the old things and pictured them so
well that her volumes have become
handbooks. Her early death. at the
age of SIS years, takes away a pioneer
in the march back toward the old.

This tale cannot be put aside lightly
as incredible. Within recent years re
have seen marvellous results from like
processes of combating physical all.
ments-smallpox. d%iphtheria, typhoid,
tuberculosis. even cancer.
The distinction here is that insanity
is a mental embarrassment, entirely
distinct from germ disease. Some
progress has been made in the treat.
ment Of this malady by relieving,
through surgery, the pressure OF the
skull upon parts OF the brain supposed
to be affected. The theory Of the
cause Of mental alteration upon which
this method is based is entirely dis.
.tinctj from that upon which the report
ed Glasgow experiments have been
conducted. But they are not neces,
sarily antagonistic.

COLLEGE MEN WHO FAIL.
tCharleston News and Courler.)

In every college there Is a class Of
ne'er.do-wells. generally, composed Of
the sons OF the rich. They go to COL
lege for the life there, TO take part In
social festivities, etc, and they care
very little about study. College is to
them merely an excuse for %persuading
their parents to permit them to spend
four years In riotous lazlness. At some
colleges there are special courses,
"easy courses" for such pupils. The
college is not to be blamed for the in
herent weakness OF thee men, although
blame does attach to them for permit.
ting students to waste their opportuni.
ties and their time.
The smaller colleges are much more
careful Of the morals OF those in at
tendance than are the great universe.
ties is largely a question of surround.
ings. Professors are there to teach,
not to spend their time in enforcing
discipline. The result.is bad, not be-
cause the older men are unable to gov.
ern themselves. but ebcause so many
parents insist on sending mere boys to
universities. Where they ought to be
sent is to the small college, finishing
their work, II need be. at the univer,
sity, when they have had enough ex.
perlence to appreciate freedom from
rigid control and to know how to man.
age themselves. To send a boy Of is
to a university where the vast major
ity Of those in attendance are grown
men is to invite his ruin.

MUSICAL EAlRMoMI.

Fairmonters never fail to appreciate
things Of merit nor to respond to any
cause or proposition that is worthy
OF their support. The more meritori.
Gus the project the more generous is
their support. This is true in every
particular. but the latest evidence OF
its truth is demonstrated in the man.
ner that our people sought to take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity to hear a
first class concert at the Swisher
STheatert at Morgantown. tonight.
There were one hundred tickets al.
totted to this city there were one hun.
sdredS and eighty applications for the
one hundred tickets and there would
have been more applications but the
word was circulated among the music
lovers that all Of the tickets had been
taken. In this the spirit Of the Fair.
monter is shown. 1t is also demonstrat.
ed that ours as a musical city Is grow.
ling and that our people are educated
along musical lines SO that they can
listen with pleasure to the most &C
complished artists before the public.

and many appreciative music lovers
and the work that they are doing is a
wonderful Influence for the good OF
