COLLEGE HAzlMG.
II Was Called "Wreckins" In Carthage
In ST. Augustine's Time.


At most American colleges 1t is called
"hazing;' Mt West Point it is called
crawling and at English schools
tagging" is often applied. When st.
Augustine was a boy they called it
''wrecking."
In translation of his Confession"
for which l am indebted to a learned
clerical friend. st. Augustine relates
what the boys did at the University OF
Carthage.
II would take no part in the wild do
ings Of the 'wreckeIs,' cruel and dew
ilish name, which was looked upon as
the stamp of the best set. ] went about
with them, ana of some of them j made
friends, yet l always disliked their
ways of going on their wreckings
their wanton attacks upon the shyness
of freshmen and the unprovoked at
fronts with which they carried on their
malignant amusement Nothing could
lie more like the conduct of devils, and
what name could be filter for them
than 'wreckers.
That sounds us if the Carthage soph-
omore was fully rs much endowed
with self importance as the American
sophomore. l may add that st. Angus
tines criticism of 'wrecking' is one
more ancient proof that boys will be
boys. '-phlladelphia Ledger

MEASURING A RIVER.
How NapoIeon's Engineer Found Its
Width Without instruments.

Width Without instruments.
An engineer found himself summon
ed one day into the presence of his
commander Napoleon stood on the
bank of wide river gazing across to
where the enemy had planted batteries.
which he desired TO attack with arti-
lery.
'fHow wide is that river" was the
question put TO the engineer
Let me get my instruments was
the reply US he turned to go for them.
IL must know at once" the emperor
insisted.
The engineer went down TO the level
bank OF the river and, standing erect.
gradually bent his head forward till
the edge of his hat brim just touched
the line from his eyes to the water line
at the opposite bank of the river.
Then. keeping his head bent as il was,
he wheeled a quarter turn till his eyes
looked along the hat brim and met the
land at point on the same side of the
river on which he stood. Here he
noted n rock or tree near the point at
which his eyes met the ground and,
calling n soldier. directed that a stake
be driven near that point as he should
direct Then, by motioning inst where
to drive the stake, he fixed the point
at which the line from hat brim and
eye reached the bank. Turning - the
emperor, he said. "Your majesty. the
distance from where | stand TO thr
stake is the width Of the river"
And so it was. as you can readily
see. If the emperor did not promote
that officcr-why, then the story does
not end as il should.-St. Nicholas.
