spanish Cruelty.

The cruelty of the Spaniard, or rather
his osllousness, his recklessness of the
lives of others, and even of his own, is
a medieval and oriental survival, says
Irving Babbitt in The Atlantic, and
then, too, there undorlios the Spanish
temperament know not what vein of
primitive Iberian savagery. Mime.
d'Aulnoy relates that ON certain day
of the yoar it was customary for court
gallants to run along one Of the main
streets Of Madrid, lashing furiously
their bare shoulders, and when one Of
theEe penitents passed the lady OF his
choice among the spectators be bespat-
tered her with his blood as special
mark Of his favor.
nsonsibility to the suffering Of ami
mals, though general in Spain, is not
auy greater so far es my own observa-
tion goes, than in the other Latin ooun-
tries. Possibly medieval religion in SO
exalting man above ether creatures in
refusing to recognize his relation to tho
rest Of nature, tended to increase this
lack Of sympathy with brute creation.
The Spanish peasant belahors his ass for
the same reasons that Malebranche kick
ed his dog-heoause he has not learned
to see in it being organized to feel
pain IN the samo way as himself.

According to Tho journal of Mental
and Nervous Diseases, slow eating is
as bad as fast eating. 1.-THE important
point is not that we eat slowly or fast,
but that " hen We do eat we chew with
energy. Of course where the haste is
due to some mental anxiety this may
injuriously inhibit the secretions. Slow
eating bcgets habit Of simply mum
bling the food without really masticat-
ing it, while the hurried cater is in;
olinod to swallow his food before proper
mastication Hence hurried eating is
bad, but rapid mastication is adyan-
tageous. Ii concentrates our energies
on the act in question, and hence more
thoroughly scoomplishes it. Moreover.
energetic chewing stimulates the secre-
tion Of saliva in the most favorable
manner. These various points are 60
commonly misunderstood, at least by
the laity, that they demand our fire.
