Methodist school in Rome is making
most satisfactory progress.

A British surveying expedition recent
ly returned from TERRA del Fuego brings
back some curious news regarding the
advance of civilization in that far off land.
The Fuegians now have glass heads
to their arrows, and they obtain the
glass from broken whisky bottles.
The beer bottle has been called the
entering wedge of civilization" because,
into whatever wilderness the white man
explorer penetrated he left behind him
empty beer bottles. But in the rigorous
climate of TERRA del Fuego the whisky
bottle seems to have taken the place of
the beer bottle, and the entering wedge"
is the wedge of glass with which the ma
tives tip their arrows
This wedge does not seem to split very
deep as far as civilization is concerned,
for the Fuegians cling with tenacity to
their savage customs
They live in little, low. dome-like wig
vans, somewhat resembling in shape
those of the Eskimo and subsist upon
seals, fish and cormarants. The latter
fish they catch by the legs when the
birds are asleep.
They are too lazy to cook their food,
and so generally eat it raw, though they
prefer it cooked.
They wear little or no clothing, except
a coating of dirt, and they do not live
to a great age, thereby disproving the
old maxim that only the good die young.
Morals they have none. The coast of
TERRA del Fuego Is frequented by seal
hunters, and it is largely from them that
the natives get the whisky bottle from

for in this material all the delicate
shades of tea rose, silvery green's and

yet a pale rose, but suggesting all
three, is the color of the gown illus
