How the Country Marks the Man - The
 HnrryinE American.
 The American Is recognizable from whatever part of our country he may have come, not only because he is imbued with the American spirit which crops out and betrays him, but also from his American physique the elongated head, the fine and transparent skin, the quick glsncing eye, the mobility and fiexibihty of body, the changing features, the gen uine laugh, the nervousness of his movements. But if the four present types of Americans from the north, south. east and west are brought to gether their hkenesses are not so ap- parent
 There yet remain differences due to climatic influences and the topog- raphy of that particular section of country from which he came, en- vironments that declare for him what manner of man he is. Never could l persuade the old darky woman of the south, the 'auntien whom everybody knows, that I was a southerner. ''Ah, boss, she used to say, ''you's come long way north of hyer"
 The Yankee Is recognizable every wFore; there's no mistaking him. The figure of Uncle Sam Is the tradi- tional Yankee. Here in New Eng land the people grow tall and lank, and their temperament becomes vital and nervous. believe the New Eng land people are becoming nervous and dyspeptic, although born in a rugged, picturesque country that Is reputed to and should produce Q rugged, characteristic race. They eat little and hurriedly; they sleep little; they have burned out look that bespeaks nervous strain and malnutrition. They worry and they tremble. The women lose their TO- tundity, and the men strive, and both grow thin.
 The southerner comes among us from the land of flowers and ease and with the grace of one accustom- ed to repose and leisure. But before the Indian summer Is over and the birds are flown the feeling that he must hurry begins to possess him, and by thel of ,Iarch he is on the run with the rest.
 The foreigner comes to us from the rational living, slow going countries of the old world. At first he is as- tonished to see us get up from the table and leave him to take his des- sert alone. He breaches moderation, but the wild race of the people and the climate will not let him have 1t.
 And the German of today, whose grandfathers landed here 200 years ago, Is no longer a German in ap- pearance. The country has trade marked him. In spite of the lynn phatic, phlegmatic temperament of his ancestors, who were thickset. broad shouldered, beer loving and sausage eating, he has the refinement of figure and the vital temperament of the Yankee. He is the Euro pean, as somebody has said, with drop of nervous fluid added"
 Gladstone's longevity may be due in part to this act of his life-that he never cuts a string from bundle, but he takes time to unite the knot What are we born and living forl Is it to hurryl For moneyl For dys- pepsial For a pain in the side, the virtues of which We recite every morning at tablel For the bauble of a reputationl Or is it rather for hap piness and usefulness, so that some one at least may say of us when we are gone that he has been happier and better because we have hve1i- Boston Medical and Surgical Journal
