scandal to eerman culturs.

One of those fugitive little cable
grams which constantly poke their
noses over to this side of the Allan
tic, seking an appreciative reader, re-
ports the scandalous discovery that
the students of the University OF
Gottingen have forsaken the Rhine
and Moselle wines of their fathers
and are displaying an infatuation for
imported California wines. Their al
legiance to German-brewed beer con-
tinues, apparently unaffected. but in
their choice of wines they are stray
ing after strange vineyards, and there
is quite an ado about 1t. II was but a
modest little squib and requires, per
haps, for its appreciation livelier
sense Of German patriotism, not to
say chauvinism, than we officially pos
sess. But one thing added to another
set us to wondering whether this
great old institution-and 1t is a
great old institution, no mistake about
thatl-hadn't for the last hundred
years or more fallen into much the
same sort OF predicament that our
own University of Chicago has been
in. II hasn't been the butt of para

Few motorists there are who know
of motoring in all its fullness. They
drive along country roads for a hun
bred miles or so, through towns so
closely set that they virtually run
through one long village. and they
think they have motored. They Cross
the ocean and enjoy the perfect roads
Of France and Switzerland, and i'm
agine they have experienced all there
is in life in the motor car; but no one
has ever been brought to a full reali-
zation OF what motoring really is. or
what the wonderful modern machine
Of mans creative genius is really cap
able Of doing, until they have sat in a
racing car side by side with an ex-
pert driver and tasted the sport as 1t
is under such conditions. Lord Byron
once wrote: What a delightful thing
is a turnpike road, such a means OF
speeding the earth as scarce the eagle
in the broad air can accomplish" He
certainly spoke in prophecy OF the
motor car. and especially of the racing
machine, which defies distance and
shrinks space into the most tiny pro
portions.-From the Columbian.

Such were the tidings of evil that
burst on the hearts of the hear
ers.
Silent and statue-like stood Priscilla,
her face looking backward
Still at the face of the speaker, her
arms uplfted in horror;
But John Alden, upstarting, as If the
barb of the arrow
Piercing the heart of his friend had
struck his own, and had sundered
Once and forever the bonds that held
him bound as a captive,
Wild with excess of sensation, the
awful delight of his freedom.
Mingled with pain and regret, uncon-
scious of what he was doing,
Clasped, almost with a groan, the
motionless form of Priscilla,
Pressing her close to mis- heart, as for
ever his own, and exclaiming:
Those whom the Lord hath united,
let no man put them asunder!"
Even as rivulets twain. from distant
and separate sources,
Seeing each other afar, as they leap
from the rocks, and pursuing
Each one its devious path, but draw
ing nearer and nearer,
Rush together at last. at their tryst-
ing-place in the forest;
So these lives that had run thus far
In separate channels,
Coming in sight of each other, then
swerving and flowing asunder,
Parted by barriers strong, but draw
ing nearer and nearer,
Rushed together at last, and one was
lost in the other.
