ROWS IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

Revelations There Are n Regular Mid.
summer Institution.
''These reported revolutions In South
America need excite no alarm" says
trader who knows the five republics
like n book. 'They are the regular
midsummer revolts. and are one of
the most cherished institutions Of the
country. Without them the populace
would expire Of ennui. You see, the
ayerage native, except in the few large
towns, has absolutely no diversions
Nature relieves him Of the necessity

stlli and breathe. When he desires TO
smoke his wife rolls cigarettes, lights
them and places them tenderly be-
tween his lips. OF course, that Is an
IDEAL existence, but 1t lacks variety.
and at least once a year even a Cen
tral American will feel a craving for
sy ycitement That Is where the regu-
lar annual revolution comes In. In
certain sense 1t takes the place of bull
lighting or lynchings, and, compared
ssith either Of these sports, the casual
ties are trifing.

the established governments regard
revolutions with disfavor. Not at all
On the contrary 1t would be very hard
to get along without them, for each
revolt is Invariably followed by a num-
Der of cOnfiscations. and the national
treasury is thus replenished. More
over, an opportunity is afforded for a
big military carnival, a fanfare of
trumpets, a waving of banners, and a
py yrOtechnical display Of proclama-
tons. 1t is the great event of the year
and after it is all over the patriots dis
perse to their palm-leaf domiciles and
res; up for the next demonstration.

EDWARD 1nRlNe-HeAo MASTER
A Most BILE Man in the Science
of ! dacation,

OF 0dCaetOns
Soon after the death Of Edward
fhring. thirty-fOur years head master
Of Uppingham School, a member of
Parliament said to his biographer:
''Thring was the most remarkable
Christian man Of this generation Be
cause he was the first man in England
to assert openly that in the economy of
Gods world dull boy had as much
right to have his power, such as It is,
fully trained as a boy Of talent, and
that no school did honest work which
did not recognize this truth as the ba-
sis Of its working arrangements"
When Thring became head-master Of
Uppinsham. "faire. free grammar
school, founded In 1854, 1t had twenty
seven pupils. On his departure from
his life-wOrk the school numbered over
four hundred pupils. The schoolmas-
ter, as he called himself had passion
ate conviction that education was, In a
special sense. a work Of God. That
conviction was his starting point for
school work.
One night he had the qualification of

Education" told an anecdote illustra-
tive Of the value of a teachers infiu-
ence.
A boy, travelling on foot in France,
full of spirit and life. had been asked
by his companions to start early on
Sunday to have a long day. The boy
refused. Being pressed, he said:
mo, will not do it; the head-mas-
ter will not like it."
The other boys laughed. and said that
the head-master was five hundred miles
away; his excuse was nonsense
But their jeering did not change his
purpose. Then the lecturer turned
round toward Mr.. Thring, and said:
THAT boy was from Uppingham;
that head-master was you, SIR"
The school cheered. The head-mas-
ter, greatly moved, rose and said, IT
am sure you will all thank the lecturer;
you must feel what feel deeply. I

Among the attractions Of the Paris

and smoke, and simulate the flowing of

volcano will stand on the bank Of the
Seine. and will be 32S feet in height.
While the framework is to be of iron
and steel, the exterior will be covered
with turf, trees and shrubs. and by
shaded paths visitors will be able to
