may not be desirable wholly to deny
that this term Indicates an eXiste n
condition that requires DIRECTION,
feel quite justified 10 denying that the
term is in any degree properly de-
scriptive While, superficially, the
problem appears 10 be one OF race
the truth is that 1t alwsys was and now
is industrisI. Any one who doubts this
should but consider the relation be
tween the slavehOlding class and the
non.s Iaveholding class OF whites be
fore the Civil War. The problems o
that day were based upon the diff
ferences In material pOss essiOns and o
relation to industrial pursuits. Ii thi
ls admitted, it fl lICWs as a matter o

problem now exists, must be IN the nG

one reason why the French peopls consume so little sugar is because their ways of living require less of that article. For the great mass of the French people breakfast consists of a bowl of soup, which is also fre- quently a part of the other two meals Their drink is wine. and, as they use but little tea or coffee, especially in the country, there is scarcely any de- mand for sugar They make neither preserves HOT cake in the family.

A Prodigy in Modern Languages at an
 English School.
 A prodigy in modern languages is to be found at Eaeld Grammar school "a boy who can speak Russian. Ger man, Italian, Greek and a little Ar menian. He is the son of murdered Cretans, and at the age of II pos sessed a certificate of proficiency from the Italian admiral as police court in terpreter and from the Seaforth High landers as general interpreter. It was while cruising in the Grecian archipel- ago during the present year that Sir Thomas Eipton was brought in con- tact With the lad, whose name IS Stello Arghiri. He was but IA years of age, his parents having been murdered during the sanguinary days of the in surrection in Crete There was noth- ing abnormal about the boy except his marvellous mastery of languages. Buff feted about, living as best he could, he had mixed with men of many races. and when just on the verge of his teens he had managed to pick up more than a smattering of German, French, Greek, Italian and Russian, in addi- tion to a tolerab,c acquaintance with Armenian. The presence of the allied forces in Crete accounted principally for thls development of linguistic ca pacity, and it was not Ion before the leaders of the occupying force realized that young Afghiri might be of serv- ice to them. Accordingly, the Italian admiral first utilized him as interpre- ter on board his vessel. and subse- quently he was employed in a similar capacity with the Seaforth Highland CTS, a detachment of whom. formed part of the British force Eventually Sir Thomas resolved to adopt him. He was brought over to tnis country by Sir l nomas and placed under the tu- telage of the masters of Enfield Gram mar school, where he has been since the lalter end of April. At present Aghiri is enjoying a cruise in the Med iterranean with Sir Thomas Lipton.- London Globe.

mean that the members will draw

put it mild, upon the people OF the
