One Of Our VicesV

It Is peculiarly necessary that we IN
America should understand the dan
ger Of morbid self consciousness, for II
is one of our two most distinctive ma
tional vices, being equaled only by our
irreverence. 1t is no accident that
more books are written about America
than concerning any other land, nor
does it mean that we are more interest
ing, except to ourselves, than the rest
Of the world. 1t does mean that we are
so self conscious, so oversensit1ve to
praise and blame-above all, so anxious
to know what our neighbors are saying
about us-that any traveller, however
inane and incapable, who spends few
weeks upon our soil may return home
and write his book about us, and we
buy It by the hundred thousand. We
are doing great things, thanks to our
opportunities and our forefathers, but
how much greater might we do could
we use in quiet, simple action the time
and energy we spend in pluming our
selves upon our achievements.-Ed-
ward Howard Griggs in Ladies' Home

An Oddly Of Lost Caste.

It Is not necessary to 60 to India to

maidservant fell i'll OF diphtheria. Her
mistress nursed her herself through q
tedious illness until she was quite well.
When that happy result was establish.
ed, the maid Immediately Informed the
mistress that she intended to leave her
service. The reason Of the maids de-
parture was this-"I could not live with
q mistress who has been waiting on
me herself" Quite evidently this is not
mere indifference to kindness or in
gratitude. The girl was the slave OF
that mysterious influence of caste
which splits up into minute sections
every modern society, as It split up ev-
cry ancient society, and seems likely to
split up any future society that 1t is
possible to imagine.-London Saturday
