he admired as follows: This arises from the
fact that the only passports to the upper So

nothing to be got in Austrian society by SELF
seeking servilty. and n OF tho slightest grounds
for fear that politeness would be mis-
interpreted. Hence general dlsposi-

that those who have mingled with them are

Proportionately to their numbers the Jews
constitute the most vigorous and influential
element in the Austrian population. They
form only about five per cent. OF the whole
number OF Inhabitants. yet In 1888 they
were represented by 1873 per cent. Of the
students at the Austrian University. In the
communal schools Of Vienna in 1S9O-91. out OF
42.624 boys there were $500 Jews. In Ger
many the Jew is almost though not quite. as
powerful in finance and commerce as even in
Austria. but in the former country he Is rarely
met with in manufactures. In Austria. on the
other hand. he is omnipresent as a manufac-
