nent reasons as to why England Is
Unpopular" In fast, Mr.. Dicey is re.
freshingly frank about the matter. and
is fearless enough 10 declare. in sub
stance, that the reason for the unpop-
ularity of the Englishman Is his habit
OF making himself unpopular. That is
the whole matter in nutshell. MIR.
Dicey speaks of the unadaptability OF
the ordinary English tourist 10 foreign
surroundings, and points out that,
while the English traveller pays lib
orally. he contrives to impress upon
foreigners his own private conviction
that he is placing them under obli-
cations by coming to visit them: that
he and his countrymen are the salt of
the earth, and all others are the
salted portion. More pertinent than
all, he shows that enmity to England
Il one OF the natural and logical con-
sequences of the British imperial pol
icy. He says: 1T is not difficult to
understand why to-day the policy Of
all foreign countries should be hostile
to England, or. at any rate. should be
opposed to her ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Great Britain has not only
given grave umbrage to every other
civilized power of Importance in the
past, but. by reason OF her very ex-
istence as an imperial power. offers a
permanent obstacle in the present TO
the attainment of their several ambi-
tons and aspirations" This is interest
Ing. and, moreover. it Is true. There is
another thing. which Mr.. Dicey might
have mentioned. He might have added
that one OF the principal reasons why
England is unpopular lies in the policy
which Expresses nearly every agricul-
tural nation on earth. Ii is the most
selfish as well as the most unprincipled
nation among those accounted civil
lied Under the cloak OF missionary
enterprises 1t has robbed from time
immemorial. and the poverty OF panic
stricken India to-day stands as gaunt
reminder of English per6dy.

Grandeur OF nm Iceberg.

One Of the ice scenes which DR.. Nan

nous berg, of which he writes as fol-
lows.
From Its tip rose two points like
slender church spires. high into the

huge hole, passing like tunnel out
through the whole mass Of Ice. and
down below the sea had followed out
grottoes 50 large that a small ship
could readily have ridden within their
shelter. In these cavities there were
marvellous effects, and tints of blue
ranging to the deepest ultramarine In
their Utmost recesses. The whole form.

1t is refreshing to turn to one inter-
national marriage where the BRIDE
groom was not fortune hunter. It is
that Of the daughter of Millionaire
Claus Spreckles to Mr.. Watson, San
Francisco broker, Of English birth.
But then this was not match arranged
by the brides parents. They objected
strenuously and the couple eloped.
Papa Spreckles had settled a million
or two on his daughter. She was a
high-spirited girl and did not want TO

likely they will ever know the pangs
