world nobly. Caste is an example. Orig inally the system was of great value in developing the crafts. It was scheme for breeding. as we'll as for training skilled workmen and for preserving the skill attained. Only that which was ''bred in the bone'' could survive the vicissitudes. of war, captivity and the general insecurity of society in the early times. The limitations of cast were none too strict to attain the end in view. When it was no longer nec- essary as practical measure, and e.S- isted only as q social sentiment, it be- came one of the most degrading Of hu- man institutions.
 The priesthood in its prime was the guardian of letters, art, science all that distinguishes man. from the beasts who devouh one another. The decline of the priesthood is another story. The old Saxon proYerb, Every dog has his day" applies everywhere.
 Rome, the impregna ble, the eternal city, had to fall. and decaying Roman civilization had to be fiuxeG in the crucible with the clean barbarisun of the northern hordes. During 401 years they formed a compound and seethinS mass which was finally recast in the feudaI system. Under that agrIcuiture was fostered in Europe. ant q rurai population grew up to form a basis of national life. Never again would na- tiorls consist of scattered towns, sep arated by robber infested wastes, and ruled from one imperial city From henceforth the state was to rest upon broader foundations and its greatness depended upon those who run the blow as well as upon those who bear the sword. Feudalism outlived its useful ness and perished in the heat of the French revolution. Judging from inc penalty, the deadly sin of the ages, is the holding, on to outgrown customs. creeds and systems. which in their de- cay are corrupt and besotted.
 Near the end of great feast a wo- man begged Philip of Macedon to hear her cause. He consented, but some thing she said offended his drunken humor and he decided against her. She calmly announced: "Then I ap- peal" What. from your l1ing?" cried Philip. "To whom. then ?'. ''To Phil- ip fasting" said the woman. It pleas eo his fancy. He accorded her a sec ond hearing later and decided in her favor. So. in all ages, the genius of civilization has appealed from man drunken with conquest and sensuaiitv to man in his sane and sober times of peace, and in the end has gained her cause. The future flows from the past We return from the historian and :n- terpreter of the past to the poet. who is prophet, for a forecast of the civili- zation to come, when sovereign man. fully sane and sober, creates a social crder worthy of his great dominion

language understood by all, which can never become a dead language. When we see etched on the face of a rock
 tablet the outlines of a man blowing with oxen, we know more of the agTi- cultural methods of that age than if they were described in modern Eng | fish. We know the character of plow used, and that it was drawn by oxen, not by mules or horses. The life of this period is fairly understood by it's picture writing, but it's duration is all unknown.
 Act IT. the classical and probably the most beautiful, shows the suprem- acy of Greek influence, afteRward ov-
 ercome by, but blended with, the Ro-
 man. Act ", the medieval, in which Feud- alism and Catholicism conspire to de- vefop an agricultural population and prepare the way for the modern state.
 In act V, where we play a part, the individual looms large with ideas of self government, religious liberty and free thought.
 Our>history department has reached the great epoch of records, and this year we are studying the history of Egypt, translated from the books of stone, but some of us browse outside, eager to see how eacn pef10d passes over into the following one, to get a glimpse of the trend of the whole, to note the influence of events and cus- toms upon race development, whether they be helps or hindrances. Every
 where we see the age-long mystery which we call the conflict between good and evil. Perhaps a clearer un- derstanding would see in it one force moving upon man from opposite direc- tions. He is not allowed to g6 too fast, though he go forward and up- ward. He is dragged backward as well as urged forward but, joy to the world, the upward movement in the long run always prevails. All things work together for good of the whole, though individual nations disappear. Egypt lies prone, buried in the dust of milleniums, but her great central faith, that which inspired her temples and pyramids and made the splendOrs of her tombs to rival the splendors of her palaces, around which he whole life revoIved in her golden age, was the unwavering belief that if a man die he shall live again. It is not buried with her. The soul of Egypt goes marching on. F'urged of many super stitions. but in essence the same, her faith thrills the. hearts and quickens the hopes of the most enlightened peo- ples of the present time; although nothing can possibly be more contrary to evidence than the belief that man still lives when all that was ever wis ible of him lies rigid and cold, and we know it's inevitable end is dissolution

This period, the lowest and longest, no man can measure. It, comes forth from the primeval darkness. Knowl- edge and speculation concerning it's earlier ages cluster about a few skulls and bodies buried in pre- glacial de- posits. On the surface and at shallow depths stone implements and pottery are efound-milestones of progress. By comparing these relics with the struc- ture. habits and implements of the lowest known tribes existing now, we are able to guess the character and conditions of our own remote ances- tors.
 Act II. introduces theocracy. Ma tions are ruled by the gods. who dep utize priests and oracles to make known their will. There are written records, the earliest being upon stone. Why is it that as man advances he works in progressively more perish able material? if some catclysm, like the glacial epoch, should sweep the earth again, excavations might reveal Egypt's glory to the inhabitants of the new earth, but not a trace of our Am erican civilization could possibly sur vive. No one said of those granite books: "In five years they will nor be read any more, and in ten they will be out of print" Yet what a boon that we have invented a swiftly passing ve- hicle for our literature. Better that all should perish than that all should en- dure. Those early records were writ ten for all time, and all people, in a

The worst cases of Asthma in the world succumb readily to tho one great euro that never fails. Dr. Rudolph SchifTmann's Asthma Cure almost performs miracles.

Spencer, 23s0 Vermont avenue, Toledo, O., says: Asthma has been growing on mo for years, until last summer the attacks became so severe that many nights I spent half the time gasp ing for breath. Doctors seemed to give no relief whatever, and felt there was no hope for me, when a drug clerk recom- mended your Asthma Cure. Its effect is truly magical and gives complete relief in from 2 to 5 minutes"
