system that is almost perfect. He re-
aliases the Importance OF the work and
goes at 1t with earnest vigor and takes
pride in its completeness. The great
est difficulty in the enumeration Is in
the section Of the city populated in the
main by foreigners who retain their
native language, but he has become
acquainted with these people and he
has but very little difficulty In Sc

Stromboli's Spasms.

Stromboli, in pouring out streams of lava, is playing most unusual part For the remarkable character of this aeolian isle is that it vomits flame per sistently and cinders spasmodically The Lighthouse of the Mediterranean has been known to stick to its func- ton of torch-bearer (without dropping an ounce of tar) for the space of 2,000 years. Whenever the tiny, irregular eruption takes place the stones drop back again into the crater. While the ancients regarded Stromboli variously as the smithy of Vulcan and the head quarters of Aeolus, the men of the Middle Ages looked upon it as the main highway to purgatnry.

A Practical Education.

Obviously, the most effective plan
ready to our hands is industrial educa-

far as it gives control over essentials
and really shapens the mind; but for
definite economic progress it is very
far from sufficient. AS yet it may be
safely said that industrial education is
almost untried in our country, at least
for the classes (such as the "A class,

people among us, who need the direct
means of earning a subsistence, it il
rather absurd to give them the studio.
