ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LIFE AND
LUXTTRY,

l.. I. jennings, formerly the editor OF the
New York Times In Its palmy days, and now
the London correspondent Of the New YORK
WpyM. IN one OF his interesting letters, says
that n man who has lived long in tho United
States finds It very difficult to settle down to
I'M huudrum life Of his old native home In
Great Britain; that the fascination Of Amer
lean life, with oil its exetements, turmo1ls
and yicissitules Is spell which no man ever
breaks away from The dull monotony OF
English life is an intolerable bore to all per-
sons who have lived In this country long
enough to get the hang OF our affairs ana

British capacities and tastes Of Mr.. Jennings

American resources and appliances Tor pleas

able to supply the Old World from our

save their poor from starvation, but that
we can meet their drafts for Injuries, sports
pleasures and enioyments not to be found In
their worn-out native land
It Is for these. Jennings and his club and
literary friends sigh SO pitaously. For good
fish and fishing game and wild adventure
amid vast natural forests, for yachting to
oyster and clam banks, for barbeeues and
great political gatherings, for agricultural
fairs and expositions. for long exeur-

these peculiar American pleasures. settle
down to the stupid life OF MI English gentle
man of leisure. and be content with shooting
birds which light upon your head, or hares
that run between your legs, and deer which
are fattened In pens-wfth fish that eat from
your hands, and oysters that oo1e verjuice.
With barbarous cuisine Of unvarytng roast
beef, chops, violent sauces and heavy wines,
unrscogni5able coffee and indigestible plum

condemned to hard lines. and jennings gives
eloquent expression to bis ennui and disgust

Next to the Ferry education bill the subject
now uppermost In France Is that OF divorce.
In that country there Is no such thing as an
absolute divorce. The courts decree and reg
ulate separations, but the law forbids any
rupture or the bonds Of matrimony. Some
notable hardships are cited by the opponents
OF the law. as 1t stands, why 1t should be re-
pealed. The church partly and the con-
SENTATIVE classes generally insist that there
shall be no change. The agitators for the
modification Of the law are growing 10 num-

Crops are 80 bad In Italy, and 80 many per-
sons In the agricultural districts without
work 81 any kind, that great restitution and
suffering Is threatened. The Minister OF
Home affairs has hit upon somewhat novel
method Of decreasing the suffering incident
TO this condition of affairs. He pro-
poses to billet 50 many wOrkingmen
On every large landed property; in
other words, to compel the latter to en-
ploy certain number Of laborers for super
tiuous work. The idea is, to q certain extent,
borrowed from the system pursued by Great
Britain In famine years in India, where large
numbers of natives are employed on govern
ment works which are not needed, but which
are undertaken simply to give employment
to these unemployed laborers. The Italian
system is different In this: the government
falls to supply the work and the wages, but
compels the landowners to doso. 1T is mild
form Or communism that, once tried, will be
only too likely TO become popular.
