Growing Evils.

Social gambling and the drink
ing of intoxicating liquors are
greatly on the increase. They
constitute one Of the gravest per
| lis of the day. Women arein the
greatest danger, for it is among
them that these vices are on the
increase, and these chiefly women
in whatare called the higherclass-
es of society-the more wealthy
and aristocratic. Among them at
this time card-playing is a craze:
Card parties are the fashionable
social events. Women spend at
these a whole afternoon engaged
atnothing else but playing cards,
and that for prizes; that is for
stakes. It is gambling pure and
simple, and has been so decided
by the courts. In principle it does
not differ in any manner from the
gambling men do in the dens OF
vice. The only difference is IN
the social surrounding.
Theothervice of which we have
spoken is the social drinking OF
intoxicants. LatelEwe h a e
heard, and the-papers Of the coun.
tryhave commented on the rapid
increase of drinking among wom-
en- in the older countries across
the sea. We have held up our
hands in horror, and wondered
what the world is to come to when
its women become drunkards.
But we need not go so far from
home to find the beginnings OF
this vice. We need not go even
to New York and its famous
s:Four Hundred" The thing is
here, right at our own doors, and
in our own cities. Comparatively
few receptions or parties are now
given among wealthier people at
which strong drink is not literal
ly forced upon the guests. Ii IS
not etoutin bottles or decanters,
as OF old, but is put into the lem
onade or punch.
The pulpit and press should
cry out against these evils. They
are real, and they are growing.
They threaten the very fountains
of our social and domestic lie.
Woman is the conservator of the
very best there is in the world.
If she becomes evil, the fountain
is corrupted and all life will fol
low in the ruin. We must pro-
tect our women. We must warn
them Of the dangers into which
they run, and we must entreat
them for their own sahes and for
the sake of the race to mend their
ways. And we must warn others
toavoid these perils. ls.-Exchange.

Some Visual Measurements.

"When watch new building going
up day by day from foundation to
flagstaff" said the city salesman, Il
get so muddled by the time it is COM
pleted that I cannot tell for the life OF
me whether 1t is fifty feet wide or 800
feet. So far as mere visual measure
ments go, the size varies so much IN
the course of construction that confu-
sion is unavoiE BILE. When the ex-
cavation for the foundation is in order,
the hole in the ground seems so enor-
nous that I could take oath it covers a
ten acre lot. After the steel frame
work goes up the building shrinks
amazingly. and I say to myself: Well,
that isn't going to be such a big affair
after all. How could my eyes have de-
ccived me so when looking at the eX-
cavation:' But when the walls are
finished and the windows in and the
decorations all stuck in place the whole
building swells out again prodigious-
ly."-Nev York Times.

Some Foreign Coins.

The franc was formerly called hvre
(pound), though the connection with
any special weight is not evident. The
name of the German coin, mark, mean
ing weight of eight ounces, was for
merly in general use in Europe. The
name Of the Italian coin that CORE
spends with the franc Qira) also means
pound. The coins in present use IN
Spain have their names from other
sources.
The five peseta piece, which CORE,
spends with the American dollar. is
called escudo Shield. "Peseta," the
name Of the small coin representing
the monetary standard, means simply
little piece" "Ruble" is from the
word meaning ito cut" and was SO
called because originally the coin was
made with an ornamental edge.

Cav the State Legalize Wrong!

u Society, as we'll as individ-
uals that make up society, has a
moral responsibility for its acts.
Society has no right to do a
wrong. Much less has tia right
to license and legalize Il wrong.
It cannot share in the profits Of
theft; it must punish and prohibit
a theft.
Society has NO right to do what
an individual has no right to do.
Society is only q collective indi-
vidual. In a republican form of
government, Eve the people" are
that s;collective individual. :"
"We the people" have amoral re-
sponsibility for their collective
acts; and that responsibility rests
on those who make up "we the
people"-in other words. on the
voters. A Christian voter has no
right to endorse by his vote an
attitude or an action by society
which he would not endorse as a
private Christian
For example, he has no right
to vote to have society license a
saloon unless he were wiiling'per-
sonally to license a saloon-to
sign d petition for the granting
Of a license to run saloon, and
unless he would be willingto to sign
the bond of the saloon-heeper to
run the saloon opened under the
license for the specific granting
of which he signed the petition.
We go 6 step further and raise
the question: How can a Christian
vote to endorse a business by Civ
ing it legal sanction and guaran-
tees. and not be willing to receive
into his church the man who sim
ply takes up this sanction and
guarantee. and runs the saloon
this Christian voter has licensed?
It is a familiar law that a man is
responsible for the consequences
of his acts.
G. Is a saloon Il wrong: 1t is
pretty late III the day to ask that
question. tits not only wrong
it is a crime. It is a crime against
morality, and tits a crime against
good government, since it sub
verts and destroys both. It at
tacks virtue; it is the open gate
way to the brothel; tits the great
cause Of pauperism; it is the hot
bed of anarchy; it is a source of
burdensome taxation; it is a
steaming vat Of political corrup-
ton; it always needs police sur
veillance; it is a menace. a peril,
a athreatagairstmorality and good |

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS
Their Life i. an Exciting Cne and

Their Life is an Exciting Cne md
Carries Many Responsibilities.
American visitors in Paris, Berlin or
Vienna often wonder how and where
correspondents do their work. 1he
truth is :. large part Of their work Is
done at these very social gatherings
where YOU have met them. Important
news is usually there obtainable only.
Statesmen and diplomats. generals ano
admirals, leaders of thought and action,
the foremost men Of business and the
indefaticable promoters of great new
vont,lres-all the men and women, IN
fact. who make the news and who are
tie fountain head Of 1.-THE correspond
cnr will meet there. 1t depends on his
individual exertions and on his tact
and gift Of persuasion what use ne
makes of his opportunities. Being
treated as a social equal. it deyolves Of
course on the correspondent to recipro-
cate favors shown, not in quantity per-
hans. but at least in quality. The lead
inc correspondents must have homes OF
comfort and must throw them open to
the official and unofficial world at stat
cd intervals. say three or four times
per season. Their private fortunes or
their incomes must be large enough to
admit that. Their annual expenditures
canrot be less than $1,000 and may ex-
ceed $4,000. The London Times, for
instance, pays its correspondents on
liberal scale, salaries Of $1,000 to S1O,-
600 being the rule. Yet the majority
of them find it necessary to make up
regular deficiencies in their eXchequer
out of their own private funds.
The life of the American correspond
eitt on the continent Of Europe is life
interesting and fascinating enough in
Its way, and it broadens the mental
horizon as perhaps no other occupa-
ton does. But it is nerve destroying
life. a life in which there is scarcely
minute he can call his very own. Ev-
cry day in the year it spurs its slave on
to utmost exertion. 1t barely pays ez-
penseS, and it necessitates constant
outlays in time and money which can
not be put down in the expense ac-
count and which are drain on health
and purse alike. Even under the most
favorable circumstances the game Is
hardly worth the candle. 10 so to bed

the nearest telegraph Office and there
wire a hasty reply; then to return and
seek a few hours Of fitful sleep and to
rise morning after morning unre-
freshed. with never repose for body

The South Carolina College
for Teachers.

Although nearly approaching its c1n-
teaasS: anniversary, the South Carolina
College shows none Of the decrep1tude
CT old age, but rather increasing signs
OF vtgcrons life. A new departure OF
great Importance to the College and to
the State has just been inaugurated.
For some years the College has had a
department of pedagogy, for the train
ing OF teachers; but last winter, foT the
first time, the Legislature created a
number Of endowed normal scholar
ships, one for each county It is the
intention Of the Trustees and Faculty
to set these scholarships upon high
plane, and to seek thereby TO qualify
superior young men for positions of
leadership and influence in our public
schools. However largely women may
be employed as teachers, the work Of
superintendence, direction and control
must continue to be most largely in the
hands OF the men: and it is to supply
these teachers Of leadership and in
fuence, in the community as we'll ais in,
the schools. that the College will chiefly
aim, through these scholarships. Hence.
no young man under nineteen years OF
age will be eligible. and preference will
be given to those applicants who have
already taught with success for at
least one year.
A special and technical course Of
study has been established, on high!
yet practical plane; and 1t is intended,
that this department shall be worshily
entitled to be called a college for
Teachers" All the work will be dis
tinctively normal, and apart from the
regular College classes The Trustees
and Faculty fsei sure that in preparing.
a body Of strong and we'll eQuip2ed
men teachers the College viii aid in
supplying one of the most important;
needs OF the State. They hope, also,
that this work, in its success and its
results, may meet with such public ap-'
pzoral as to lead hereafter to its still
further enlargement.
Circulars have been issued giving the;
details Of regulations and course OF
study.
The present session, now nearly
cnded. has been very encouraging Not
a ripple has disturbed the internal
peace Of the College. The rev -Presi-
dent has won golden opinions, and has
more than maintained the confidence
and affection gained in his long seFEice
as professor. The friends Of the Col
lege look hopefully forward 20 the con-,
tinued success and increased usefulr eSs
OF this vececateG tnstlsution, whtca 'gi;!
soon enter upon its second century Of
honorable history.

The use of liquors will count
against young men and even
young women, in the future more
than in the past, for as business
becomes more concentrated and
the number of employees under
one management increases. the
number Of bonded employees will
increase. It can readily be seen
that this requirement will dim;n
ish the sale Of liquor, but is due
to the boys and girls for there
seems to be an increasing number
ofwomen who drink that they be
clearly taught habits of total alb
stinence, so that the doors OF op-
portunity may not be closed to
them in the future.-Exchange.
