Both STYLISH and HIGH quality snappy furnishings for COLLEGE MEN. The Holt=Cate.s Company, BURLINGTON N. C. count rushed out as if to flsre from God. He loosed the boat from the shore and spranj; into it and would row to his cas tle. But the judfjment of God awaited liira on the lake. Suddenly the heavens became dark above him, the waters black beneath him as if a thousand hurricanes rajjed around him, so that his boat tossed up and down, to and fro. Over his head flashed long. ja^Red lightning, and the rolling thunder appeared to cry out “mur derer! murderer!’’—finally his power gave out. With «yes filled with terror, he looked up and surrendered his boat to the waves. Then—a long, yellow flash of zigzag lightning, a powerful clap of thunder—the angry billows rolled high, the mountain with its castle, the boat with its murderer, disappeared. At once tbe raging wind became quiet, the angry billows departed in all direc tions and presentl^v the sun. looked down upon the still, clwr limpid waters of the lake—the grave *f the murderer. No, it was not the revenge of heaven, it was the justice of heaven. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE ATHLETIC FIELD. Coach Hearne is taking advantage of the Summer-like weather to get the base ball park in condition for the coming sea son. A squad of men has been at work on the infield, raking, rolling, etc., while the outfield is being cleared of all rocks and rubbish that might have accumulated during the months past in which it was not in use. The diamond is in excellent condition as a result. In addition to these improvements, Mes srs. Hearne, Pearsons, Sparrow, Farmer and other candidates for the team, feel ing a need of some means by which the “calico” attending the games might be gathered into one place as nearly as pos sible that they might have some definite spot towai’d which to direct their sensa tional plays, have just completed a struc ture which is to serve as a grand stand. Accomodations for about two hundred have been provided in the first section, and if the need artse, another section can easily be added. Also a band stand has been built which will seat the twenty “wind jammers” and “fram frammers” of the College band. These fill a long and keenly felt need and all members of the school extend their hearty thanks to the enterprising young men who have made the things possible. It begins to look like business around the athletic fi;ld and you may stake your last dollar that when the grand stand is filled with cheering la dies, the boys chime in with their Rah!, Rah;, and the band strikes up some live THE NORTH DURING THE CIVIL WAR. The present generati.)n has an id:a that while the Civil War was raging all othsr activities of the country were either suspended or greatly reduced. It imagines that what happened in the South must have taken place in the North to a greater or less ^extent. That this view is wholly erroneous is shown by Professor Emerson David Fite, of Yale Univei-sity, in his Social and Industrial Conditions During the Civil War. This is an im portant contribution to the history of that period, and is almost unique. We have had any amount of military histories and biographi s, but little concerning the or dinary e\ents while the young men were away fighting. The fact is that the North made extraordinary strides in every direc tion while the war was in progress. Al though, first and last, nearly two millions of men went from the North to the armed camps, it was only near the close that a milliorr were actually in the field at any one time. Most of these young men en listed when they were twenty-two years old or less, and the number of those more than twenty-sevien was very small, rela tive]^ speaking. Thus, although many boys and young men were withdrawn from activities, the older ones remained, and conducted business and tne farms on an ‘elaborate scale. The harvests throughorrt the war were unusirally good, and the for eign demand was heavy. The invention of mowers and reapers made the loss of younger men on the farms less notable. Manufacturing was stimulated by the war itself and by the heavy foreign trade. EduC3(tion also flourisbEd, for many colleges were founded in this period, and the gifts were unusually heavy to those of older standing. On the whole, the chief trouble in the North seems to have been anxiety over the issue of the conflict, and grief for the dead, rather than for a loss of commercial and industrial activities. It is true that many soldiers left dependent families behind, brrt to a large extent these were cared for by friends; so that at the close of the conflict the North, with its new potentialities in all directions, was really stronger than ever before, while the South lay industrially, prostrate. The book is primarily for the student of eco- rromics, but it will be interesting to any one who wants to get a good historical perspective.—Book News.
