The traveller through Germany
wonders why so many crooked faces are
to be seen in the streets, so many faces
which seem as though they had been
wrenched out Of shape by some terrible
conflict. The moment one begins to
study the German language, however,
the mystery is solved. 1t is not by any
wrestling match between husband and
wife, not by the natural contortions
which n makes when he thinks OF the
policy Of Bismarck, but by the attempt
to pronounce unpronounceable words
that this peculiarly comes. Think Of
n language the simplest monosylable Of
which must be well started in the
lowest depths Of the abdominal regions
in order to find fitting utterancel
Think Of a language which delights in
e~xhausting all the letters OF atype foun-
dry in a single polysyllabic word, and
then cease TO wonder ut the dazed and
wild expression on every German face!
