FOE OF THE COLLEGES.

OF all the foes of young manhood
on the American college campus, al.
cohol is the most subtle and destrpc-
tvs. 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 If
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 ghastly
with thick-strewn headstones. With
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 REINFORCE 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, the promoter OF
tragedies innumerable on every cam
pus. the tireless enemy of virtue pup
ity, diligence and intellectual develop
ment.-Henry Louis Smith, President
Washington and Lee University.

SOLITUDE is R0STAND'S CURE
French Poet Spends All His Time in
Bed, With All Noises
Forbidden.

Paris.-A friend of Edmund Rostand
SAYS that the poet is taking an iso-
lation cure of three months, which he
is passing in bed in his house at Cam
bo. He sees nobody except one serv-
ant, everyone takes pains not to make
any noise in the house. and the poet
receives no letters nor communica-
tions with the outside world except
through newspapers, the war account
ing for this compromise of what would
otherwise be a perfect isolation. NJ.
Rostand's beard has grown fast, and
the servant who attends him says
that he is now unreeognizable.
He has taken one or two of these
solitude cures before, once when he
was working on "Cyrano" and once
when he was slightly i'll. He is not
| working particularly during this cure,
except for some reading. He was feel
ing out of sorts for several weeks be-
fore he took it, which accounts for his
decision. His friends say that these
cures have remarkable effect on his
health; he gains great deal of weight
during them, loses his habitual nery-
BUSINESS, RECEIVERS his powers of work
ing hard and generally becomes his
| old, genial self again.

treatment himself and that it was

Different Matter.

1t was the first night of the panto-
mime, and Jack took his seat in the
pit next to a lad about the same age
as himself.
Say, mate, can you smoke in
here?" he inquired, when he had made
himself as comfortable as he could.
NO" briefly replied his neighbor
A few minutes afterward Jack saw
others smoking, and, looking about,
discovered that there were no prohibit
tory notices on the walls, so again ad-
dressed the quiet one

GOOD LINE OF BUSINESS.

1t was at campaign meeting in
Ohio The speaker said that West Vir-
gania had profited financially by yot-
ing dry. A man in the audience dis
puted this statement. He said that
he was salesman, that he visited
every county seat in West Virginia,
and that his business had fallen off
considerably since the state went dry.
Another man spoke up and said that
he was salesman and made" West
Virginia regularly and that his busi-
ness had increased since the state be-
came dry. He asked the fellow who
reported a falling off 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,

1T was dark The Breslau closed
in. 1t was ten o'clock in the evening.
Then came the order from the bridge;
Right about; starboard; make for
Cape Matapan' (the southern point of
Greece.
The watching British cruiser saw
the maneuver, but before it could wire
less the news that the Germans were
making for the east the following or
der was flashed out from the admiral:
Jam the wireless; jam it like the
devil!'
THE Goeben operators began the
work of confusion. Wireless wave
broke in upon wireless wave; sound
interrupted sound for two solid hours,
And during all that tine the British
fleet lay securely off Malta ane the
straits of Otranto, ready to prevent
the Germans bearking through into
the Adr:atic. During these two hours,
however, the Germans were travelling
90 astward without obstaclN while the
patrol boat tried to make itself un-

of sounds quivered through the air,
wireless wave crashed into wireless
wave, always confusion and uncer-
tainty."
The writer admits that the wireless
messages of the cruiser which he calls
the Gloucester evidently reached the
British fleet, but they reached it too
late-the German ships were on the
way to Constantinople.

scIENTiFIC INSTRUCTION.
In 1897 two leading professors Of
Germany sent to the men Of that coul-
try a announcement fayoring total ao-
stineuce. It contained this declarI
ton:
"science has shown that alcohol,
eveu in moderate quantities, CAUSES
disturbance in brain action, paralyzes
The critical capacity, power Of will, the
ethical and esthetic sense, and lowers
solf.control For this reason wa

The document received nine sigma
tures. Ten years later it was sent cut
again and received 300 signatures CT
German medical men, 116 Of whom
were professors.
In 1913 a q eat antialcoholic meeting
was held In the Prussian house of dep
uties, Berlin. The honorary president
was the German chancellor, 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 aHtialcohol element in it,"
Since then such instruction has been
made part of the regular course in
the public schools of Germany, and
entire courses in that subject are Of.

laid her hand on his arm. Il want you
to wait till you have seen her." she
continued.
Ostensibly the words meant that
Ralston was to postpone his departure
until Lillian had come; but, actually,
he knew they meant that until then
nothing was to be said of marriage.
Yet it was with difficulty that he
could restrain himself, for his love
had again given Mrs. Symon the as
poets of the woman in his dream, and
he felt that he could with her attain
that peace of soul which he had lost.
Lillian IS coming tomorrow" Mrs.
Symon said one day. will you take

"Oh, l shall not have time if am

swered Mrs. Symon with a little
laugh
Ralston drove to the depot, and
presently fresh-faced young girl got
down from the train and glanced
about her. Ralston went up and stood
staring foolishly at her. 1t was the
girl of his vision. So she had been
there, had seen him while he lay in
his delirium!
She knew him, too; she put out her
hand, and mechanically he clasped it.
He helped her into the carriage and
they whirled away. And though not u
word had been spoken Ralston felt his
heart leap up with ecstacy, She was
his! He blessed his stars that moth
ing had been said to the mother. She
knew-Lilian knew. He felt that with
perfect instinct. They were born for
each other, each was destined for the
other.
And the mother was forgotten, and
two young people drove along abb
sorbed in one another Their glances,
at first shy, became more ardent.
Ralston put out his hand and closed
it on the girls warm fingers.

mered.
She nodded shyly.

She nodded again. And suddenly
he drew her to him and pressed his
lips to hers. And all pretense seemed

Care of the Piano.

Half the pianos of this country catch
winter colds exactly as we do. They
get hoarsS or have a cough or a stiff
note or some similar complaint, which
cannot be cured by home remedies,
but which requires tedious and expen-
sive doctoring. In order to prevent
these avoidable ailments a piano
should be kept in moderately warm
room, where the temperature is even,
say 60 or 10 degrees, the year round
not cold one day and hot the next. The
instrument should not, however, be
too near the source Of heat. 1t should
be kept closed and covered with felt
cloth when not in use, particularly in
frosty weather. Always place the piano
close to but not against an inside wall

All through his delirium Ralston
was family conscious of woman 8
face bending over him, with look of
compassion that transfigured it. Again
and again, as he came weakly back
from the fog of delirium into conscious
ness, he would realize her presence
and feel the cool hand on his burning
forehead.
When at last he opened his eyes to
the realization of his position he saw
that the face had been largely the
f1gment of his dreams 1t was pleas
ant, motherly face, the face of WON
an of thirty-fve, perhaps; but 1t was
not the face he had imagined
Are you feeling better?" asked a
soft voice.
Ralston tried to answer, but he was
too weak to speak. And, lying there,
he began to remember the circum-
stances of the accident.
He had gone West three years be-
fore to take up the homestead miles
away from the city, nursing in his
heart the remembrance of the girl
who had Tilted him and ruined his
life. He had abandoned everything
his friends, his interests. Gradually

the charm of the peaceful country had
clung about him, and he realized that
nature had a healin.- balm for his
wounded heart
He had known that Mrs. Symon, a
widow of culture, had taken up the
homestead adjacent after her hus-
bands death, preferring the solitary
life in the wilds to a struggle in a
city; but he had not chosen to see
any woman, and on the rare occasions
when he saw her, as he rode past on
his way to the post, he only raised
his hat and turned his face away.
So he had lived three years. alone,
save for the occasional visit of a
neighbor, or the appearance of some
wanderer at his sod cabin. He passed
for morose man, as, indeed, he was.
Nobody intruded on his life. Each
man had his own interests in that
wild region.
He had been riding to the post, ten
miles away, when his horse stumbled
and threw him. He had sustained in
ternal injuries. but no bones were
broken. The worst thing was a severe
concussion of the brain, and for three
weeks he had been semiconscious, liv-
ing in world of delirium.
1t was odd that in the place of the
woman who, till then, had occupied
his heart, he should have pictured
that face that bent compassionately
above him. The force of the delusion
had gripped his heart; now, on awak-
ening, he was almost glad to find that
IT was dream; and yet he knew that
the image persisted 1t was ex-
traordinary that he should have i'm
agined what could never be in the
face of Mrs. Symon
For days he lay there, gradually
recovering his strength. 1t amazed
him that anyone should be so kind.
Ralston was thirty and Mrs. Symon
not too old for his expressions of graf
itude to bring q warm flush to her
face.
Gradually the motherly attitude
seemed to vanish. In place of it was
very womanly sympathy, a certain
equality that set Ralston thinking
hard.
After all, man could not live alone
forever. And this woman was very
kind, kinder than any he had ever
known. She would assuage his lone
Illness, and something told him that
she was not Indifferent to him.
During the days of his convalescence
he told her much about his past, and
what he did not tell her she surmised.
1t was only when he approached the
subject which had begun to possess
his thoughts that she nervously
checked him.
do you know how old l am, Mr..
Ralston?" she asked, with laugh OF
embarrassment. Forty"
1t did check him, as it was meant to
do, but only because he meant to
make no error this time. A wife ten
years his senior! Well, such things
had been. He resolved that he would
ask her.
Yet, with her woman's intuition, she
postponed the matter until Ralston
was convalescent, till he was able to
hobble about the house. Yet each
knew that the other was acting a part
and that it was only matter of time
until the words were spoken.
Did you know that had a daugh

Equally proficient at the piano, on the
violin and cello, delightful in both
