It is this sort of an Italy that the young Italians want to get rid of. Picturesque as may be the little donkey and his nibble of hay and the children drowsing in the cart, the young Ital- ians look forward to the time when cheap automobiles will whisk along the rockbound Roman roads, when indus try will hum to the tune of 5000, 900 electric horse power, when the ratio be- tween agriculture and industry will be more profitable.

 Before indicating the tendency and goal of this agitation I must give some idea of it's pervasive character In Rome I called on Luigi Luzzati Italy's picturesque grand old man. now SS years old, who has been twice prime minister, and has spent 24 years of his life in cabinet office. We had hardly touched upon the question of Italy's fu- ture when he read me a fiery address advocating the revision of the Italian constitution and the adoption of many features of the American constitution, without which he believes the full de- velopment of Italy will be long delayed.

Artistic Temperament

Brain Hooker, in Yale Review.
 We cannot easily think of art in terms of any reputable trade; it seems a mat ter apart from normal categories, like hypnotism or clairvoyance, a thing at once to admire and to despise. A banker is man who manages money, and a doctor is man who can cure disease; not in the same sense as an author, a man who writes, nor a painter man who make pictures. Even a great soldeir is human: but even poor sculptor must be that think We call a genius. He works not as other men by the application of toll and talent to his chosen calling. but
