Doctor D. A. Sargent, of the Heminway
Gymnasium at Harvard, has invented a new
game which he calls "battle ball" This game
is SO we'll adapted to the needs of gymnasium
work that it seems destined to come into
general use, even outside the confines of the
school or college. The game has been thus
far tried only at Harvard. II has met every
objection. Both the men in college and their
fair co-students of the annex find it absorb
ingly interesting, quite replacing tennis as a
competitive game. It has the additional ad-
vantage OF permitting any number of per-
sons, within very large limits, at least. to
engage in the play at once.

English and French Morals
RUFUS r. WILSON.

Frederick Carrel has recently been invesH-
eating the subject of French and English
manners and morals. He has come to the
conclusion that the general distinctions in the
characters of the two nations are an excessive
constituencies and punctiliousness on the part
of the French, and a corresponding excess Of
prompt enterprise and Indifference on the
part of the Briton. Mutual courtesy between
superiors and interiors is greater in France
than in England but the old time respect
for persons of refinement is rare. The lower
classes in France have a better place in the
plane of society than have the English peas
ants, and their dignity is greater.
The French people, particularly those living
in Paris, are degree higher on the social
ladder than the corresponding classes in Eng
land. M. Carrel maintains that the French
are healthier, happier and more intelligent;
their dress is cleaner and more suitable to
their eallings; they are more thrifty, and they
are never Extensively vulgar. He claims that
the French have greater respect for women
than the English, and that the faces of the
French workingwomen are much less care
worn than those on the other side of the
channel. In France, he says, patriotism is a
warm and early sentiment. There is COM
mercial patriotism which too often discredits
the genuine article. English patriotism is a
practical virtue, with much stern courage
and resolution to support it, but with
scarcely particle Of romance. In politics,
NJ. Carrel says that the Chamber of Deputies
is the worst, the most wicked and the most
crooked of the Institutions of France. The
superiority of the English parliamentary
system is indisputable. The French press is
the brightest most interesting and most
literary press in the world artistic in all it's
methods and full of nerve and good humor.
The English journalist is much more sober
if not dull; he is a hard worker, dealing with
facts, and careful of his language; but he is
inclined to be heavy, and mistakes ponder
osity for dignity. 90
One great difference between the nations is
the way in which they regard the questions
of morality between the sexes. In France,
moral life, according to the English concep-
ton, is almost unknown among men, and the
condition of mistress is more openly recog-
nized. The majority of the French people
consider that flirting is dishonorable
amusement, and that a woman who has once
listened to the overtures Of man loses her
position. In England, immortality tends to
become unbridled, and in its lower forms it
almost invariably becomes coarse and in
temperate.
NJ. Carrel is strong in the statement that
the greatest degree of immortality in England
is to be found in the highest and lowest
classes-the two classes which, from opposite
causes, are the best able to hide their pro-
civities. In matters of personal cleanliness
the Engiishman has the advantage; but when
it comes to art the French have their revenge.
