FOE OF THE COLLEGES.

OF all the foes Of young manhood
on the American college campus, al.
cohol is the most subtle and destruc-
tive. 1t is peculiarly fitting that the
American college student Of today,
wiser and better informed than his
predecessors, should give battle to his
ancient and merciless adversary. IL
gravestones were placed on our col
lege grounds to those slain In the flush
of young manhood by intoxicating
drink, the acres OF verdant lawn
around even our best institutions
would become vast cemeteries CHASTITY
with thick-strewn headstones. With a
devilish instinct for maximum destruc-
tiveness, this demon OF the campus
seems to pick out for degradation the
gayest, the loveliest, the most talent
ed, and to re-enforce his assault by en-
listing the social and generous In
stincts which constitute the very
charm OF youth. Opening always the
gate to passion and appetite. he is the
aggressive ally of everything which
degrades college life, tho promoter OF

DIVORCE IN EGYPT.
Ninety Out Of Every Hundred Matings
There End Disastrously.


There Is one country In the world,
at least, where divorce is more fire.
uuent than In the United States. In
Egypt 80 per cent of marriages end In
divorce, says Elizabeth Cooper in her
book. "The Harm and the Purdah,'
and 1t has been observed that two peo-
pie who live to old age together with
out one Of them having been divorced
are rarely found
Divorce can be had for incompata-
bility by mutual consent, Mrs. Cooper
SAYS. without recourse TO the courts,
but If the wife wishes to be free and
the husband will not permit 1t the wo-
man may go before n judge and state
her case. and If her charges are proved
she will be granted her petition. OFTEN
woman will return her dover or
agree to forfeit the part not yet paid,
and i'm many cases the wife makes "A
money payment 10 the avaricious hus'
band I'm return for her liberty.
Divorce Is easier for the Egyptian
husband than for the wife, according
TO Mrs. Cooper, and following di'
vorce the woman Is commanded TO re-
main single three months, while the
man may remarry Immediately.

SCIENTIFIC INSTRUCTION.

In 1897 two leading professors OF
Germany sent to the men of that coun-
try a pronouncement fayoring total abb
stinence. 1t contained this declara-
ton:
Science has shown that alcohol,
even in moderate quantities, causes
disturbance in brain action, paralyzes
the critical capacity, power Of will, the
ethical and esthetic sense, and lowers
self-control. For this reason we
should realize that it is a poison and
no longer to be classed with foods"
The document received nine sigma
lures. Ten years later it was sent out
again and received 800 signatures Of
German medical men, 116 Of whom
were professors.
In 1913 a great antialcoholic meeting
was held in the Prussian house Of dep
uties, Berlin. The honorary president
was the German chaAcellor, DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, and on the commit
tee of honor all the Prussian ministers
were represented and hundreds of EN-.
inent men of the empire. Doctor Jen'
sen, inspector general Of the Berlin
schools, called forth much applause
when he said that "the education OF
youth is absolutely impossible with
out an antialcohol element in it,
Since then such instruction has been
made a part Of the regular course in
the public schools Of Germany, and
entire courses in that subject are Of
fered by the great universities.

LINCOLN'S FIRST DOLLAR.

When he was about eighteen years
old Abraham Lincoln, who, as he said,
belonged to the scrubs" people who
,wned no slaves and not much Of any
thing else, built n raft to carry some
produce down the river to sell.
While he was looking at the work Of
his hands and wondering if he could
better It two men came down to the
shore and, looking over the several
small craft there, picked out Llncoln's
small boat and asked If he could take
them and their trunks out to the blS
steamship coming down the river.
there being no wharves in that locality.
Lincoln scullcd them out into the
river and put them and their trunks
aboard the steamship at the last min
ute, reminding them that they had for
gotten to pay him. Each man then
threw him n silver half dollar.

said Lincoln I'm relating the occurrence.

The Word Calico.

The word calico" has queer ORR
gin. Many centuries ago the first mon
arch of the province of Malabar, In
Hindustan, gave to one of his chiefs
as a reward for distinguished services
his sword and all the land within the
limit of which n cock growing at a GER
tain temple could be heard. From this
circumstance the little town which
grew up in the center Of this territory
was called Calicoda, or "the cock crow
ing" Afterward it was called Calicut,
and from this place the first cotton
goods were imported into England
bearing the word calico.

GOOD LINE OF BUSINESS.

It was at campaign meeting In
Ohio. The speaker said that West Vir-
gania had proflted financially by vot-
ing dry. A man in the audience dis
puted this statement. He said that
he was a salesman, that he visited
every county seat I'm West Virginia,
and that his business had fallen OF
considerably since the state went dry.
Another man spoke up and said that
he was n salesman and made" West
Virginia regularly and that his bust
ness had increased since the state be
came dry. He asked the fellow who
reported a falling or what his line
was and the latter reluctantly admit
ted that he sold undertakers' supplies
at which the crowd yelled. The man
who declared that prohibition had
helped his business explained he sold
furniture.
