Like the Frenchman and Belgian, the
Italian is disguised at our cooking. "You
need a thorough reformation OF your
cpisjpe." said one. "You have little or
no variety of food, and oh you lack good
vines If you only had our wines, you
would have less drunkenness" The Ger

life; but he seems to regard America as
a sort of promised land, and es-
peciallv paradise for working
men. The Austrian, like the Turk, is dis
gusted with the national impoliteness.
Said one: 1.-The people are pleasant
enough, but they do not know the use Of
the words please and thank you.
The Dane thinks our middle classes
not so well educated as those OF his own
country. The Mexican is particularly
struck by the abuses of our street cal
travel and our hacks. He would have
stringent laws to prevent the over
crowding of the street cars, anC
to stop the extortion of the hack
men, capital punishment. The Dutchmar
doesn't like our women, thinks they art
weak and puny, compared with their bux
ON girls. And the opinion of the China
man is compressed into the following ex
pressive sentences: "Much hkee Mellca
