preach than they begin to doze."
"Do you" asked the bishop, preach
your own sermons?''

"Then, my good friend, suppose you
try some one else 6, retorted the bishop

The Apparent Difference.

Johnny-Pa, some of the curious peo
pie round here they call "odd" and
some Of the others eccentric. What's S
the difference?
Pa-When a man is said to be eccen-
tric, he usually has more or less money.
When he is poor, a man is simply odd.

brought her daughter to see him.
The girl was suffering from what is
known among many people as gen

much the matter with her, but she
was pale and listless and did not
care about eating or doing anything.
The doctor, after due consultation,
prescribed for her a glass of claret
three times a dag with her meals.
The mother was somewhat deaf, but
apparently heard all he said and
bore off her daughter. determined TO
carry out the prescription TO the
very letter.
In ten days time they were back
again, and the girl looked quite a

CHAPEL DEBATES.
Eailham's Informal Contest on the
Temperance Question. From
the Roatrum

An interesting little temperance de-
bate has been in progress for the last
week or so from the Earlham rostrum
during the chapel service Professors
Moore and Russell are advocates of
prohibition, Professor Dennis has ad
vocated educating the people to abhor
the habit. The funny part of the
whole affair is that not one of the
speakers has made straightforward
argument pro or con, but has rather
"whacked around the bush," by means
of another subject, and incidentally
dealt pokes at the opposing speaker.
Prof. Moore began the contest by a
talk on prohibition in an indirect way.
Prof. Dennis followed in a talk in
which he held, indirectly always, that
people should be educated to abhor
things that are not good for them, and
he exemplified his argument by asking
which is the better method of teaching
a child, to be a good man or woman
by always keeping the bad out OF his
sight, or by placing the evil thing be-
fore him and teaching him that il is
not right to touch it.
Prof. Russell then took = hand 1t
one of the exercises, talking on
the duty of law, which he held
to be to prevent crime and to protect Sc
eiety, deducting very ev IDENTIFY, but not
in an out and out statement that in
preventing crime and protecting so
ciety laws should be passed prohibit
ing the liquor traffic. Prof. Dennis
then took rebuttal. in which he intro
duced some argument, and yesterday
Prof. Moore continued the subject.
The discussion has been a source of no
| little amusement to faculty and schol-
ars. All feel that the thing most to
oe deplored is that there is not a board
of impartial judges to render de-
cision.
