A Romp Room.

In Sweden, according to travellers
who have resided in that country. it is
household custom to provide rooms
where the children may go and cry and
scream and make all the noise they
need to. In all other parts Of the house
they are expected to be quiet and mind
full of the presence of their elders. On
the whole, it seems rather a good plan
good for the children and good for
the elders too.

GOOD BEGINNlN0A AT CHAPEL Hill L
The Enrolment of Students at the
University at the End of the First
Week Vas 5O4 in all DEPARTMENTS.

week vas 5o4 in all Departments.
CHAPEL HILL, n, c., Sep. II, '96.
The high water mark of atteudan &c
has been reached this week at the Uni
versity. The first week closes with a
total attendance Of 5O4 in all depart
ments. These are distributed as fol-
lows: Collegiate department $50,
Law 40, Medicine &c, Summer School,
1873. This means, if the experience of
the past is carried out, total enroll
ment Of 600. The freshmen class num-
bers thus far one hundred men.
The week has been an interesting
one at Chapel Hill. DR.. Alderman
made his formal opening address to the
students on Tuesday in the presence
OF large gathering, outlining the
policy oil the University and his own
policy to the young men. The speech
speech was received with great enthu-
slasm by the young men and partly as
result of it all the old classes of the
University have voluntarily adopted
resolutions prohibiting hazing, thus
cooperating with the faculty in the
first principles of self government.
The new administration starts off
with all the departments in thorough
harmony. All the student organiza-
tons are forming and the great school
is thoroughly started on its years
work. Commons Hall with arrange
ments for boarding one hundred or
more opens with tea next Monday
night. 1t is one Of the best equipped
dining rooms in the State. Both this
and the kitchen are due to the benif-
cence of Mrs. Frederick Baker, of
New York. 1t is great boon to all
students.
Five new men Of talent in their de-
partments have been added to the
teaching force, an instructor in Latin,
Modern Languages, English, History
and Scientific Physical Culture. While
the last does not count on a course
yet Mr.. Mechling comes to the State
thoroughly equipped to make intelli-
gent physical culture practical, pleas
ant and profitable.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation gives its annual reception to
the new students with refreshments
and short talks, music, &C.. Friday
night in Commons Hall.

Should be Prosecuted.

1t Is reported that some persons are
already shooting young wild turkeys.
This is down right wanton destruction
to say nothing about being violation
OF the law. Young turkeys are not fit
TO shoot at this season, even if 1t were
lawful to do so. In the first place, they
are too small and poor to be good for
table use, and are easy to kill when the
gang is once scattered. All such cases
ought to be reported and vigorously
prosecuted. If the law is wantonly dis
regarded by those who do not possess
the true sportsman's instinct they
should be made to pay the penalty.

REMEDY FOR HARD TINES.
WHAT THE MONEY WASTED ON THE SALOON
WOULD DO.

WHAT THE MONEY WASTED ON THE SALOON
WOULD Do.
In an able article under this caption in
the Christian Herald (Michigan), Rev.
Fred e. Britten has this to say of strong
drink as one of the causes of hard times:
How much waste does it cause? Di-
rectly, 81 800, 5000 annually. The figures
show that in 1892 the annual liquor bill of
the United States was 81 200 900, 900. and it
was increasing a. the rate OF from one or
two hundred millions every year. DO you
know what 81, 200. 0OO, 900 would do? 1t
would build 200 900 homes at $1,000 each,
put 81 800 worth OF furniture in each of
them. add 81 900 each to the salaries of all
the Gospel ministers in the land, and leave
a five-dOllar gold piece for every man,
W man and child in the United States.
There is an indirect waste of vastly
more. There are 600, 900 vendors whose
labor is unprOductive There are GOO, 600
drink. A waste of the labor OF ]. 200, 600
men. Suppose these men were set to work
at a productive industry. They would earn
at 81 80 day, 81 100000 in one day. They
would produce more than that, else the
employer would make no profit. There are
800 working days in year. Hence they
will earn $40. OOO. 900 year. Hence there
is waste of this sum every year because
of this unprOductive labor. Add $40 ,000,-
900 to 81 200, 600, 900 and you have 81 49,
600 900 annual waste. The figures show
that over 80 per cent. of the inmates of
| penitentiaries are there because of crimes
| committed while under the influence of
| drink. Add to this waste 80 per cent. Of
all tie taxes paid to support in all the
States. -penitentiaries. police courts and
| jails. Who can count the waste caused by
drink?
The decalogue has been for centuries
| the great test of morality. The saloon
breaks and causes others to break every
commandment. Nothing so transgres<es
! Divine law. Nothing SO contaminates So
ciety. In North Carolina there is great
''breathing cave" In he winter a violent
wind rushes into it, carrying all before it
1t is impossible at times for man to walk
against that wind. Cattle seeking shelter
frequently come too near the cave and
perish. In the spring the wind changes
and blows out hairs and bones and hor
rible stencil making the atmosphere un
bearable for miles. The saloon is the
great breathing cave of society. 1t draws
in our boys and girls, the flowers Of man
| hood and wOmanhOOd. 1t breathes out de-
stroyed bodies, ruined characters. petrfied
,arcasses and woe to cOntaminate society
