The president of the State Agricul-
tural college of North Carolina is a
real reformer. He advised the students
to substitute man-to-man fighting In
the open, for hazing, and the students
have taken up the system with en-
thusiasm. There have already been
encounters with from GO to rs men on
each side, with some broken noses
and numerous black eyes, but that is
vastly better, remarks the Indianapo-
lis Star, than having a crowd jump on
one unfortunate and maltreat him. II
college classes wish to demonstrate
their physical prowess, what can be
fairer than an open, fair fight, on
equal terms? And that is American,
for this country takes no stock in
sneaking. cowardly or underhand
methods.

Belgium and the Congo.

The latest turn in Congo affairs is
the decision of the special commits
sion of the Belgian chamber, by vote
of nine to seven, not to interfere with
the kings control of the budget of the
proposed African colony The world
must, then, hereafter hold Belgium it.
self and its people responsible for the
misgovernment attributed to Leopold,
declares the Boston Transcript. 1t is
evident that public opinion regarding
this open sore of modern civiliza-
ton must be concentrated rather
upon the supine community which tol-
crates money-making king in his
atrocious exploitation of fifteen to
twenty millions of unhappy natives
rather than upon the case-hardened
old sinner himself. Still, as shown by
the size of the minority of the COM
mission in this vote, there is a large
and respectable opposition to the scan
dalous commercialism which has made
the name Congo Free State a sinister
joke and fraud.

moral turpitude, such as the partici-
patton of our former mayor Of our

The most valuable opal in the world
is to be seen in the imperial cabinet
at Vienna. Another, worn by the EN-
press Josephine, known as the Burn
ing of Troy which only is little less
magnificent is in the possession of
the marchioness Of Butte. How the
idea arose in the first instance that
the broken rainbow Of the unlucky
opar' brought Ill luck it is not easy to
tell. Some allege that the word is de-
rived from the Greek for an eye, that
the gem shares the evil influence of a
peacock's feather and acts as a spy
In the house; others that the opal only
got its reputation after Sir Walter
Scott had connected it with bad luck
in Anne of Geierstein."

the industrial structure of the times
has lately occurred in Rhode Island

years was discharged for causes which
her fellow workers, men as well as

The Girls Who Are Snapped Up.

All young men are not silly, and apt
to be fascinated by pretty face when
more enduring charms are lacking.
Marriage is a serious AFFAIR, and thus
they contemplate 1t when looking for
q wife. 1t is no wonder, then. says the
New York Weekly. that the girls de-
scribed below are the first to be
snapped up when they appear in the
matrimonial market: The girl who is
her mothers right hand in household
matters. and who is not above taking
an interest in the most trivial things
in connection with household duties.
The girl who is a bright, entertaining
companion. and who has ever kind
word and pleasant smile for those
around. The girl who is always neat
ly dressed. no matter If with mex
pensive materials, and who never
dresses loudly or in questionable
taste. The girl who can adapt herself
to any society, and who never puts on
airs and who would scorn to do an
action Of which all the world might
not know. The girl who. In an emer-
gency, can turn her hand to anything.
from cooking the family dinner to re-
trimming an old hat. The girl who is
unselfish enough to give up some
pleasure of her own to benefit another,
and does not consider herself ag-
grieved at having to do so. The girl
who can talk Of more important things
than dress or the last new play. and
who can listen intelligently when
deeper subjects are introduced.
