II were asked what most impressed mo

the supplemented people who have taken
them into their tribes.

Frederick Carrel has recently been investi-
eating the subject OF French and English
manners and morals. He has COMO to tho
conclusion TINT the general distinctions In tho
characters OF tho two nations are an excessive
sonsitiveness and punotiliousness on tho part
OF the French, and corresponding excess OF
prompt enterprise and Indifference on the
part OF the Brlton. Mutual courtesy between
auperiors 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 Il better place in tho
plane OF society than have the English peas
ants. and their dignity is greater.
The French people, particularly those living
in Paris, are u degree higher on the social
ladder than tho corresponding classes in Eng
land. NJ. Carrol maintains that the French
are healthier. happier and more Intelligent;
their dress is cleaner and more suitable TO
tholr callings; they are more thrifty, and they
are never Extensively vulgar. Ho claims that
the French have u greater respect for women
than tho English, and that the faces OF the
French worsingwomen arc much less care-
worn than those on the other side OF tho
channel. In France, he says, patriotism ia
warm and early sentiment. There Is a COM
mercial patriotism which too often discredlts
tho genuine article. English patriotism is q
practical virtue, with much storm courage
and resolution to support It, but with
scarcely particle OF romance. In politics.
NJ. Carrel says that the Chamber OF Deputies
IL the worst, the most wicked and tho most
crooked OF the institutions OF Franco. 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 its
methods and full OF nerve and good humor.
Tho English journalist Is much moro sober
II not dull ho Is u hard worker, dealing with
facts, and careful OF his language; but he ia
Inclined to be- heavy, and mistakes ponder
osity for dignity.
One great difference between tho nations Ia
the way In which they regard the questions
OF morality between the sexes. In France,
moral life, according to the English concep-
tion is almost unknown among men, and tho
condition OF mistress Is more openly recog.
nizod. The majority OF tho French people
consider that flirting is dishonorablo
amusement and that woman who has once
listoned TO the overturos OF a man loses her
position In England, immortality tends to
become unbridled, and In It's lower forms II
almost invariably becomes coarse aud in
temperate.
NJ. Carrel IL strong in tho statement that
the greatest degree OF immortality in England
is 10 DO found In tho highest and lowest
classes-the two classes which, from opposite
causes, are the best able to hide their pro-
cllylties, In matters OF personal cleanliness
tho lnplishmnu Ina thp nfvantngo, Int whom
