The concert given i'll Coburn hall
Friday evening by the Tufts College
Glee, Mandolin and Guitar Clubs, under
society, was one of the most pleasing
entertainments of the season, and it is
to be regretted that a larger audience
was not in attendance.
The program was opened by the Glee
club who sang Laugh Boys Laugh
rolicking college song, which was we'll
received. This was followed by the
mandolin club who rendered "Memoir
de St Aubin," and in response to an
encore gave medley of all the popular
songs of the day which was the clever
est thing on the program.

The Chicago Tribune recently sent in
quirics regarding the effect of the use
Of cigarettes upon school boys to the
principals of fifty of the city schools,
men and women. The responses of these
teachers are Of an alarming character.
Dullcd intellccts, loss of power of ap-
plication and physical weakness is the
general verdict of these teachers as to
the effect of cigarette smoking upon
boys from ten to fourteen years of age.
cigarette smoker is almost invariably
understood, growth seemingly stopping
when smoking begins The victim of
the cigarette habit is always hollow
checked, pale and thin, and, consequent
ly, suffers the loss of mental and phys
ical strength and all ambition. Several
teachers say that no dependence can be
put upon boys who are habitual ciga-
rette smokers Everything goes to
prove cigarette smoking an unmitgated
evil, and yet many-by far too many
boys and young men will not believe 1t
until they have experienced its evil
effects and it is too late to avoid the
disastrous results.

first anniversary of his birth, Wednesday

of their mental faculties and with
scarcely diminished physical powers.

ITarper's Weekly of New York, has
pictured too plainly the disgraceful
state of affairs in Turkey and as a result
has been permanently prohibited from
entering that country. This is not the
first American paper the Sultan has
refused entrance into Turkey. Moth
ing more clearly proves a mans guilt
than his desire to suppress the truth.
