Not on abiding rock.

Tho blood has turned their stones to rust
Their glory TO decay
A ND is it pride? All. that bright crown

But God has struck its lustcr down
In ashes at Isis feet.

7 CANNOT say, and / win not say
/ That he is dead-he is just away!
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave Of the
hand
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how very fair
II needs must be. since he fingers there
And You. on you, who the widest yearn
For the old time step and the glad return'
Think Of him faring on as dear
In the love of there as the love of here:
And loyal still as he gave the blows
or his warrior strength to his countrys
foes
Mild and gentle. as he was brave,
When the sweetest love Of his life he gave
To simple things. Where the violets grew
Blue as the eyes they were hkened to.
The touches Of his hands have strayed
AS reverently as his lips have prayed
When the little brown thrush that harsh
~ chrred
Was dear to him as the mocking bird;
And he pitied as much as a man in pain
A writhing noneybee wet with rain.
Think of him stiil as the same, l say:
He is not dead-he Is just Away!

PERSlA'S NATIONAL DRINK.
sherbet Is the Popular Beverage In
That Thirsty Country.


The great beverage in Persia is sher-
bet, which is plentifulIy supplied and
of which there are many varieties,
from the bowl Of water with squeeze
of lemon to the clear, concentrated
juice Of any sort Of fruit to which wa
ter is added to dilute it.
The preparation of sherbet, which is
done with the greatest care, is a, cry
important soiut in 50 thirsty country
as Persia and ono to which much time
Is devoted. 1t may be either expressed
from the juice Of fruit freshly. gath
cred or from the preserved extract Of
pomegranates, cherries or lemons, mix
cd with sugar and submitted to GER
tain degree Of heat to preserve it for
winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drunk is called
guZangebben. Ii is made from the
honey of the tamarisk tree This honey
Is not the work of the bee, but the
product Of small insect or worm liv-
ing in vast numbers under the leaves
Of the shrub. During the months of
August and September the insects are
collected ard the honey is-preserved.
When used for sherbet it is mixed with
vinegar, and, although not so delicious
as that made from fruit, it makes an
excellent temperance beverage.
Only among the rich and fashionable
are glasses used. In all other cases
sherbet is served in china bowls
and drunk from deep wooden spoons
carved in pear wood.

The colleges are getting ready to
open and find that from half to two
thirds of the upper classmen are in
the military service and that the en-
tering classes will be much smaller
than usual, though the freshman
classes are not affected so much as
those composed of cider men. Even
the girls colleges are affected and
most Of them will have reduced
classes, This is due to women being
called to take the places OF men who
have gone into the army The. col.
leges are enconomizing by closing
some dormitories and not hiring new
instructors in place OF those who
have resigned to enter the army or
to engage in other work. College Of.

are finally compiled they will show
that college boys have enlisted in
