On Monday evening the house was again

illustration of the impractrcnbility of the
studies pursued. be related the circumstnuce
of a father asking his son how much a pile
of wood eight feet long. four feet high. and
six feet wide. would cost at $4 per cord;
the boy. who was supposed by his parent to
be particularly bright. after considerable
figuring. answered that the pile would cost
about 3600. He urged the importance of a
more practical system of oducstion: one
that would make our children capable of
solving the problems of everyday life. and
fit them for the various vocations they will
be called upon to pursue when grown to
manhood sud womanhood.

icus bud signalled his intention of passing
on the right side. and was just in the act of
doing so. when the Hope chsnged her
course so as to bring her directlv across the
bows of the Americas. This action was so
sudden that no edhctusl means could be
taken to avoid the collisision. and although
the engine was immediately stopped the

crashed almost entirely through the Hope.

her four or five of the unfortunate men on
