Influence of College Athletlcs.-That In
terest in college athletics has Waxed
nightly in the past decade is sufflclently
apparent, says the editor of Current L!t-
erature in the January number DOUBT
less it is entirely true. that every year
increasing numbers of young men are in
fuenced, if not controlled, in their choice
of alma mater by the athletic achieve
ments Of the various institutions under
consideration. How young man so IN
fuenced is likely to regard incidental reci-
tation rooms and laboratories once ne is
in them need not be debated. And, ad-
hitting that the purpose of a college IS
to cultivate the intellect and the broader
moral qualities, it MAY fairly be ques-
toned, whether such a young man brings
away from his putative alma mater much
of what he was supposed to get from her
We do not mean to deny that athletic con-
tests have certain moral and intellectual
Values Undoubtedly they have. But,
estimating them at their full worth, II
the college man becomes intent upon ath-
leticss to the exclusion, Or even the sub
lection, of the. influences Of the studies
he is supposed to be pursuing, it Is fair
question whether his years at his uni
versity have been little better than
wasted. t.-.
Marriage Among AnImaIs.-The subject
is one discussed by DR.. S. Woods Hutch
inson in the Contemporary Review for
October and quoted at length in The Re-
view Of Reviews for Australasia for No
vember 9Monogamy. says DR.. Hutchin-
son, had it's beginning among the animal
ancestors Of man. The: anthropo1d apes
are! homogeneous. Doubtless the missing
link was also. The lower animals, how
ever, are polygamous., Hence monogamy
is an evolution. Yet there are those who
would put marriage contracts on limited
time basis Why even the, pig was once
better than that, says DR.. Hutchinson.
The pig has been spoiled by civilization
Doubtless that accounts for some OF the
troubles that human kind Is heir to also.

TisZa' s Fight Against Obstruction.

Count Stephen Tisza, the Hungarian
premier, has been fighting obstruction
lists of sthe. national liberal and inde-
pendent parties in the Hungarian par
lament ever since he organized the
new cabinet a year ago last Novem
Der, and the obstruction of public busi-
ness had been then active for a year.
A peace was patched up, which was
only OF temporary duration, and the
war broke out with greater violence,
the obstructionists opposing the propo-
sition to increase Hungary's annual
contingent to the imperial army, and
on other questions, and on the pre-
mier's effort to give public business
the clear right Of way.
The fight has now reached point
where it is impossible to transact bust
ness, as all existing means for. closing
debate have failed, and Tisza' has ar
| ranged for the dissolution of the Hun
garian parliament, and will go before
the country to get its verdict, which
he thinks will sustain him and enable
the legislature to pass the annual bud
get, the titular king of Hungary, the
Emperor Francis Joseph, having given
his assent. 1t is expected that the
| coming general elections will be char.
| acterized by much violence.
In both divisions Of the Austro- Hun
garian empire the antagonisms of race,
sharp and persistent, and the legisla,
| tive bodies of Austria and Hungary
are continually making spectacles OF
rampant disorders, indicating defiance
Of all parliamentary rules.
| Where obstruction to parliame entarY
procedure is so roughly aggressive as
in the lower house of the Hungarian
legislature, the premier may appeal tc
the nation, as against the obstruction
lists. In this country there is no posi-
BILE way to get rid Of an obstructive
senate or house except thru the regular
and legal elections held at the legal in
| tervals and, after all, we are better
| off than countries where administra ton:
are changed on the turn Of vote touch
ing government measure.
In France cloture must be demanded
by notable portion Of the chamber
before the president will entertain the
motion, and it is not pronounced unless
a ajority of the members are present
and then members may speak upon th'
manner in which the question should b.
put. When the chamber become
turbulent, the president puts on his ha
to restore calm.
In the German reichstag, under suc]
conditions, the same practice obtains.
In the British commons, in case 0
disorder, the speaker may, if he deems i
it necessary, adjourn the house withou
question put, or suspend any sitting fo
time to be named by him, and h
may suspend members obstructing pre-
ceedings, from twenty to one hundre
and twenty days. This arrangemen
was intended chiefly for the obstructiv
Irish members.

Tremendous Growth of Missions; Evil
dence Found by Editors of 1.-THE EncycIo-
pedia of Missons.''-Twelve years ago the
first edition of The Encyclopedia of Mis-
ton is, so hopelessly antiquated that
new edition, practically a new encyclope-
dia, has been found necessary and has
been put forth. In the making of the new
book, of $50 pages. the editors have
had to dig into the affairs of missions In
a way not likely to fall to the lot of very
many students of missionary enterprise.
AS a result of their studies. the editors
make this very emphatic and surprising
statement: ..
In sending out this new edition Of The
Encyclopedia of Missions.' we cannot re-
frain from mentioning the astonishment
mingled with awe aroused in our own
minds by our close study of the growth OF
missionary enterprise since the first edi-
ton was issued. It is our belief that if
any will study this rapid advance and
growth they will find the conviction un-
aveidable that this enterprise and it's
present. power in the non Christian world
is the fruit of more than merely human
Impulse. :, -" 49,.
",rhe mere increase of missionary en-

fields are notable facts, while above every
other reason growth of the Christian

demands of this great, expanding enter
prise, has had to expand also, so that
