Spanish Traits.

p. MantegaZza in Nueva Antologia.
The Spanish pride whether Ands-
lusian or Castilian) has an altogether
special character. and Is easily dis
tinguished In its exterior manifesto.
tions from English pride or French
vanity. do not speak of the Italians,
because for centuries their national
defect has been modesty. The Span.
lard is not vain, not Roasting, does
not willingly insult stranger; he is
simply proud, but very, very proud.
His pride is mute, is negative, is la.
tent; but it is very great. This Span
ish pride Is both q virtue and vice. A
virtue, because 1t keeps his back bone
straight, since 1t renders him iDcap
able OF doing many base things; but
1t keeps him poor by preventing him
from performing lucrative labor. II
it were possible to compile statistics
of the lies and half-lies which are told
in the world every day and every
hour of the day, L believe that the
palm for sincerity would 90 to the
Spaniards. This is due, not only to
congenital repugnsnce to telling lies,
but to pride. A lie means that you
are afraid of the truth. BY lie you
lose your own esteem and do a dis.
honorable act. All such things q
Spanisrd abhors.
The Spsnisrds are certainly very
lazy, and the eternal cigarette they
keep In their mouth occupies a great
part of their time. They all smoke,
and always. The coschman who
drives you about smokes, and the
porter who carries your bundle, the
conductor of the railway, the priest in
the sacristy. A barber of Cordova
smoked while he was shaving me.
In Spain they smoke much, but they
smoke badly, unless they are rich
enough to buy the delIciout pours-
that is, the cigars of Hsvan a and
Manila. AS for the cigarettes they
use, they are infinite In their variety,
but all alike In having an Internal
smell, hardly endurable by those who
have been accustomed to good tobac-
co. The patience with which the
Spaniards tolerate this abominable
tobacco is but type of the patience
with which they endure q bad gov
eminent, general and municipal, and
a thousand things which would cause
q revolution in England or the United
States.
To sum up in few words the chaa
acter of Spaniard, would say that
he is q man who Ia mystical, eloquent,
lazy. frank, proud, enamored of his
own country, gallant, chivalric, paH
tient and somewhat cruel.

FERDINAND LOUIS HUH

FERDINAND LOUIS HUH.
A simple life has passed away.
And vet how much this means
To those who loved the dead 50 well
And shared his hOmcly scenes.
We miss the dear old face each day
As ON our way we go.
And though he finds his happiness
His loss to us is woe.
How much this means to that dear wife
The partner of his joys.
To those who lived and worked with him
His own beloved boys.
Those daughters fair, and dearest friends,
Those only know that feel
The loss of loved ones passed away,
And mourn with sorrow real.
What can they do? Why only this
Revere that memory dear,
A nd cherish it within the heart
With love that is siucere.
Go on their way with purpose true,
Make life a grand success,
And If the dead can know or see
Be sure that he will bless.

of the foot ball field, the pugilIstic
ring, the base bali diamond. or looks
on and shouts approval while others
fight. His boys learn to don BILE their
