2 Problem Of Coedueafion.

The Problem of Coeducaffon.
In all that is said at university com
mencements this year nothing will
merit nor serious attent on than the
references to ~coeducat.on VIII ch occur
in the annual report read by Dr.. Bon
bright at Northwestern. The Evan
stou institution is not one from which
we should expect to hear any doubts as
to the a%dvisability Of the system. IT.
hes been thoroughly commi tel to a.
aDd one Of its most conspicuous NY
eHplars. Yet DR.. Bonbright exclaimS:
Is the system of coeducatlon in
Northwestern University still on trial ?
Perhapsl
The facts here, as at Stanford, seem
to show that it is a system which c&n-
not be kept in a state of equil bripn,
because the phenomena of the high
schools are repeated at the universi-
tics. The latter tend to become 81 Is
colleges. In ten years, for example,
the girls attendance at Northwestern
nae increased from SO per cent to near
ly so per cent, and this year tire e
are more young women than y-NR;
men in the graduating class. The gan
sral tendency has been incr ased hy
the policy of encouraging gifts for dor
mitories for the young women in pref
erenc to the young men, and DR.. Hon
bright suggests that the girls enroll
ment should be limited by the capacity
Of the dormitories.

How Figs Arc Prepared.

After figs have been collected they
are dipped in boiling brine, and then
dried on trays for from two to four
days, according to the weather. The
dipping is supposed to bring the sugar
to the surface and hasten the drying.
After being dried the figs are placed
in sweat boxes" holding 1000 pounds
each, where they remain for two
weeks. Then they are washed in cold
salt water to remove all dirt, and are
packed by women and girls in half
pound, one-pound and ten-pound box
es, in layers, being split preliminarily
with a short-bladed knife.

Capt strsetor Of Chicago Has Imitator

apt btreotor OF ChiCnEo HAS Amttntor
in Kansas CITY.
Captain Streeter, the famous squat
ter of the north shore, has an imi-
tator in Kansas City. For the Mis-
souri, town, as well as Chicago, has a
shifting water front, as the Missouri
river has an uncanny habit Of shift
ing its course frequently, submerglng
what has been dry land in the past
and creating real estate where once
there was naught but muddy water
rushing onward to the gulf. In the
channel of the river, just a stones
throw from the foot of one of Kansas
City's chief business streets, is an isl-
and of about 1870 acres, which John H.
Mensing claims to wi His claim dates
from 1857, when he discovered the ISL
and and took up his residence upon 1t.
Later the government came along
looking for a place to establish reser-
vations, and decided to take this.
Mensing resisted, and was driven at
the point Of the bayonet to n corner
Of the island, where he erected a
stockade n babe defiance TO the SOL
diers. At that time the island vas
much larger, but the Missouri river
seemed to resent the presence of the
soldiers as much as did Mensing, and
from that date began to eat the land
away by slow degrees until only about
three acres remained. But the three
acres were those where Mensing had
erected his stockade. He concluded
that Providence was with him. The
soldiers had no further use for the
island and have beer withdrawn. Then
the river began industriously putting
the earth back again, and in due
course the three acres grew to 100.
About this time the prospective value
Of the land was recognized, and pro-
ceedings were begun in the interior
department to have the island declared
a public reservation. This action was
defeated. Then came a mysterious
corporation called the East Kansas
City Land Company, which tried to
prove to the interior department that
the tract had been coded to 1t a long
while ago. The case has just been
argued, and it is confidently predict
ed that the decision will be against the
company. SO Mr.. Mensing now be-
lieves that he has the first claim, I'M
der squatters' title, to land valued at
S125, 900.

CHRISTIAN
Topic for Oct. Is; Dark Days and
Their Les.ons-PsaIm 1O.. 1-15.

Phillips Brooks once declared it his belief that
more unbelievers are made by the conflict OF
faith with life than by any other cause. That Is,
mems faith cannot stand the test OF sorrowful
experiences. When the dark comes on, 1t Is
hard to believe that the sun is just beneath the
horizon, and it is only we that have swung away
from it. and that in a few hours will return the
full glory Of the dawn.
And yet it is in the dark that religion is to
prove itself. All passengers trust their captains
on a smooth sea. Christ is the light of the
world. Christians are TO be the lights of the
world. and lights are not lights unless they shine
all the more brilliantly on a background Of
black.
Indeed. il one has in his soul this light OF life,
to him there is no darkness at all Elizabeth
Gilbert. the charming daughter of the Bishop OF
Chichester. was blind. Cardinal Manning was
at her fathers palace a few days after he left
the Protestant eor the Catholic faith. He saw
the blind girl walk rather hesitatingly through
the great hail. 1nI said gently, Let me show
you the way Elizabeth accepted his guidance
and gave him a simple THANK you" but after
wards in speaking Of the incident she remarked
'It was not / who had lost the way"
No: let the eyes be blinded. blot out from the
skies the sun Of prosperity and take from the
landscape all beauty of love and opportunity and
delights. still if the soul contains the light Of
the world. as Elizabeth Gilbert's did, then in all
the space between East and West, and in all the
hours of all the years. there is nothing but one
unclouded splendor.
Sometimes you will notice a shadow flying
over the sunny fields. and yet when you look
toward the sun the sky appears perfectly clear.
The cloud that caused the shadow was too i'm
pa Ipable to be visible against the brightness Of
the lord of day. 1t is a popular fancy that such
shadows are caused by angels flying across the
sun.
Why not think thus Of all shadows? Let them
be the shadows OF Gods angels. II YOU know
God and His goodness, this will come 10 your
