The commis- sioner of education reports 22,000,000 persons enrolled in educational instl- tlons In 1914. The Bureau of Educa- tion announces an increase of more than five hundred in the number of pNrarlea of mora, than 6,000 volumes in the five years between 1008 and »|3, with a gam of almost twenty million volumes. |*IThere can be no estimate put upon immense value of this increased of books in its effect upon the ic mind, no measure set to the possibilities which open before that large class of.

That the advantage may not be all one way, the new law forbids elec- tioneering by candidates on the day of election. It Is made a corrupt practice to ask any candidate to support a club or organisation, or to buy tickets for any entertainment or ball, or to pay for space In any book, program, periodi- cal, or other publication. The only de- tail that has been forgotten la offering babies for the candidate to kiss. The law provides a scale of campaign ex- penditures which may not be exceeded.

The Iron Crown "Not so very far from the battle swept frontier that takes Its way through the Tyrolese Alps lies the Italian town of Monza, wherein one of the most precious of Italy's innumer- able historic relies Is preserved, the famous 'Iron drown of Lombardy/ ac- cording to a war primer Just issued *by the National Geographic society at Washington. "This Iron crown cams to the Lombards aad to its fame through the gift of Pope Gregory the Great, who presented it to a German princess as a reward for converting her consort to Christianity. "Tbedfiolinda was the dauelter of a Bavarian king. Reasons of policy brought about an arrangement of her marriage to Autbarte, king of the Lom- bards. Theodolinda was a princess of unusual charm and beauty; and, the story runs, Autbarte, who had secretly Joined his.embassy for the negotiation of his marriage, met the princess as a simple Lombard courtier, aad the af- fection that grew up between them caused the princess to oppose har mar- riage with the unknown king with all the power of her persuasion. Named Duke of Turin. "Monza, the northern city, dates its first Important associations from the coming of Theodolinda. The German queen won the devotion of her sub- jects, and upon the death of Authori? they agreed to recognise as their king any prince whom' she might choose for her second husband. Agiiuf, Duke of Turin, was Tneodolinda's choice, and he It was, whom she converted to Christianity, whereby the Lombard iron crown started upon Its centuries' career of wonderful associations with queens, kings and emperors. "Pope Gregory's gift was a fillet of iron, which, according to pious tradi- tion, was beaten ont of one of the nails which fastened Jesus to the Cross. This relic was brought to Home by the Empress Helena, and was guarded as a relic of marvelous powers. "The Iron fillet was used to crown the German emperors kings of Italy. It was used at the coronations of Charles V., of Napoleon, and of Emper- or Ferdinand. It waa this crown, too, that was ased as the symbol for a united Italy, and, with the Lombard iron circlet set In a gold crown of Byxantium workmanship, the king of Italy took his coronation oath and an- nounced the arrival of a united Italian people among the nations of Europe. Golden Hen There, Too. "The church, in whose treasury the i..»m bard crown Is preserved, together with other relics of the great Lombard queen, was founded by Theodolinda. In this Basilica of San Giovanni at Monza are the queen's fan and comb of gold, aad the golden hen an&aeven golden chicks, which represent Lom- bardy and her seven provinces. "Monza lies eight miles north-north- east of the great commercial and in- dustrial city of Milan, with which It is connected by both steam and electric roads. It is built upon the Lambro. a tributary of the Po, and its 32.000 citizens have caught the hustling spirit of the metmpolte tea* ta the south.

Harvests and In the "wheat harvest calendar," published by the English grain trade, occurs the entry: "Julyâ€"Northern United States, Upper Canada, Rou- mania, Bulgaria, Austria, Hungary, south of Russia, Germany, south of England." This 10 a part of the cal- endar which has a curious bearing on the present diplomatic situation in Europe. During at least three months, all the world haa been wondering why Roumania and Bulgaria did not make up their minds which side to take in the European struggle. Definite action has repeatedly beea rumored, but nobody yet knows what the deci- sion is. But, meantime, the people of both nations are harvesting the crops. Seventy per cm of Bulgaria's in- habitants make theii living from agri- culture, and wheat atone makes up 20 per cent of the country's exports to explain to be In the test Junior nation of the London the the advantage It waa to taught to sing.

One of the largest developments In the practical use of movlng-plctures is tor business purposes. Instruction In various branches of Industry Is given by means of them, manual or mechan- ical operations being displayed la or- der to show workmen the most skilful ways of performing these operations. Interiors of factories are "filmed," a new purpose of this action being that of advertising in foreign countries. The films are sent abroad for exhibition to prospective customers, as evidence of the care taken In the manufacture and of the modern equipment of the plant. This Is the ostensible reason, at least; but of two factories, one thoroughly modern, the other a little less so, would not the latter, if it had moving pictures of its machinery going at full speed, be more likely to gain an order that both Of them were after, simply because of the distinction that Its pic- tures gave It? Who would not rather patronize a plant that was so enter- prising as to show itself in full opera- tion thousands of miles from home then a possible superior plant that had no thought beyond that or doing its work? The moving picture, young as it is, has intrenched Itself In the im- pregnable position that belongs to those shrewd enough to hold out en tertalnment In one hand and instruc tlon in the other, leaving it to us to take both or either as we may choose Astonishing Supplication. A famous college principal used to give out notices at the morning devo- tional exercises, which always closed with a prayer. One morning he forgot a certain notice until he had begun his last prayer. Praying for the pro- fessors and students of the college, the notice from the French professor came to mind, and the assembled stu- dents were astonished to bear the president say: "And, O Lord, Mess Professor Karge, whose French class will be held this morning at nine o'clock instead of at balf-paat nine, as usual."
