a Malay's nails would not induce him to
deny his creed or give up a plan upon
which he had resolved, and they would
induce most Englishmen. 1t is the con-
test with difficulties, and especially natu-
raj difficulties, which, apart from ''vexed''
questions as to the influence of "race"
properly so called, makes a people, not
the contest with weather, and ever that
axiom is not invariably true. What had
the Athenlan to fight in particular except
the sea, and that sea the Mediterranean ?
OR what had the Roman? An Iceland
or had twice as much 10 contend with, or
a Malay, and developed just nothing at
all, any more than the Firms did, who, in
the possession of hard, grey weather, are
richer than all mankind, except the ISL
anders of Skye, who also have done
nothing.
1t is quite vexatious to hear an argU-
ment so paipably false as Kingsley's press
ed just When everybody Is suffering
from the hard, grey weather he is SO fond
of. We do not believe London is a bit
the better for the weather of the past
fortnight, hard, grey weather of the worst
kind, SnOW,Tknd Tafn, and wind; and all
climatic unpleasantnesses having been
ceaSeless in their action. On the contrary,
we believe it is "a good deal worse.
There are men OF course, generally men
with a coat of fat, a swift circulation, and
"a belief in a~lchohol, who are the better
tor a thermometer at 200, They enjoy
1t, to begin with, and genuine enjoyment
wonderfully quickens all the powers.
No wonder angels are tall. and swift,
and energetic-Uide pictures pGSSim-when
they always live in heaven. Such men
have, too, a sense of superiority 10 weak
er beings, a pleasure as of a great-coated
caste, and it is the permanent sense of
superiority which constitutes whatever of
truth there is in the aristocratic theory.
Above all, they get "a good fight with linn
tied liability TO injury /; and a good fight
in which n has a hard ~tusslr, and yet
cannot feel despair, always brings out
the manIiness Of the strong. But to the
great majority bad weather like that of
the past fortnight is, We suspect, a mere
evil, Il mere exhaustion, q mere consum-
er of energy without any compensating
benefit at all. They either feel bored, or
depressed, or, 10 use a beautiful Suffolk
word, which is, we suspect, Saxon,
and if it is not, ought to be, "fra'an."
Do you know what it is TO be
"fra'an," reader9 1t is TO feel that your
blood will freeze if you do not exert
yourself and to be incapable of doing it
to be hungry with cold, thirsty with mis-
cry, ready to stamp, if only the wind
had left you energy enough. 1t is not a
good-tempered condition or a healthy
one, and if hot coffee is procurable, drink
it. A bit of energy goes in keeping up
the circulation, and a bit more in avoid
ing depression, and a big bit more in
striving vainly to maintain an equable
frame of mind. Of course these effects
manifest themselves very differently in
different temperaments. One man is pro-
voked by bad weather into "a chronic i'll
temper, accompanied by a vauge disposi-
ton to l~aziness, and a distinct tendency
to snub his wife, as responsible, if not for
the weather, at least for that sense of

day-dreaming, and wakes conscious that
the world generally is going wrong with
him, but very much puzzled 10 discover
why. A fourth, and this is the common
est OF all impressions, simply goes about
his work a little duller and stupider than
ne is by nature, remarking, if at all sci
e%ntltic, that he is "a peg too low,-want
of ozone in the atmospheric" None of
these people benefit by snow, and cold,
and rain, and damp, and slush, and burst
pipes, and the necessity for driving in
cabs with wet seats or dripping glasses.
Does anybody? OF course, if the victim
is compelled by thes.weather to~ssencounter
difficulties, to walk to a newspaper office,
say from Paddington, through knee-deep
sIush, and does conquer them, he is q
stronger man ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS he
does not get a catarrll-or at least Eng
llsh superstition compels us to admit that
he is stronger, but the majority Of men do
not conquer weather difficulties. They
succumb to them and keep indoors, or
put up umbrellas, or take cabs, or make
other folk do their work, in "a decidedly
puslllanlmous manner, or get cross aud
unjust, or swear audibIy, or otherwise
lose all the benefit which, according alike
to religion and philosophy, they ought to
obtain from IA trial. Evangelical women
always say they like trials, hut Just ask
an evangelical woman, when her nose is
red, and her fps blue, and her hands swol-
len, and her temper up with a Journey
through sIeet, how she enjoys thai, and
her answer will SAVIOUR much more of
Deborah than of Dorcas. Those who suf-
ter tom bad weather are not stronger, for
they have usually been defeated, and IL
repetition Of defeats is weakening; nor
are their rivals, for they have simply
wasted energy III fighting rain and wind
which had better have been expended
upon more worthy objects. Londoners
would have more In them by a great deal
if the sky were bright, and the air pure.
and the smoke in its proper place, aud
the snow at home, and the sleet anywhere
except exactly between their neckties
and their necks. They would fight hard
er, and work longer, and resist difficulties
more strenuously if umbrellas were not
required. The truth about weather is,
we believe, that that which a man
likes best does him most good, and that
many Northerns like cold best, and ac-
cept ,cheerfully any evils which may be
inseparable from their ~favourite tempera-
ture. They are happy; and being happy,
have OF course the advantage over the
miserable majority who detest east winds.
and hate sleet, and anathematize "slud,"
and feel miserable if they cannot see the
sky at least once a fortnight. The few
''feel like fortitude," as the Americans
say, and forget that there is no tonic like
a little happiness, that nothing strength
ems men like the "exceeding peace TO
which the weather of the past fortnight
is fatal. Ifa Quaker angeI-there must
be Quaker ~angeIs-had to traverse the
Strand in weather like that of Wednesday
last that Quaker angel would swear, and
how could that make him any better?
