Relative Merits of Immigrants
Roughly speaking, the North OF Eu-
rope people make better citizens than
those from the South of Europe. The
better class go to the country and the
worst to the cities. The Greeks are
considered about the least desirable OF
all; the Italians from the southern por'
ton of the peninsula also make poor
citizens; but those from the northern
part rank with the Swiss and other de
| s;rable nationalities. From 1871 Il
1900, according to a recent census bull
letin, over 100000 immigrants land

The American goes to work early,
like the Frenchman; like the French
man, he works hard; like the French
man, he works late: but, like the Eng
lishman. he takes no time to himself
at midday. His luncheon is the
merest smack" 1t Is often cooked bad
ly and served worse; 1t is oftener still,
perhaps, drawn from a paper in his
pocket and not served at all. As for
any intellectual repose or mental dis
traction from the grim facts of work
mot only is 1t not thought of, but the
very idea would be laughed to scorn.
From the moment of setting forth to
the moment Of return mind and body
alike are deprived of their proper nour-
ishment and rest. 1t Is scarcely
strange, therefore, that Europe should
= be rich In elegant American widows
and orphans and the churchyards at
home too full of young mems graves.

The best histories record many things
besides battles and legislation. In j. +.
Rhodes History Of the United States"
for example, there are some remark
ably suggestive pages about the physi-
cal health OF the American people In
the decade before the Civil Waf In
this decade of our own we are SO used
to the spectacle of athletic young men
and women, the product Of the new
methods in education and hygiene, that
we forget the pit whence we were
digged Let Mr.. Rhodes remind us Of
1t by few of the contemporary COM
ments he has collected. One Of them TO
Thackeray's remark in letter from
New York: Most Of the ladies are as
lean as greyhounds." From the Allan
tic Monthly In 1858 IL taken the confess
sion: I'VE are nation Of health
hunters, betraying the want by the

1t happen to live through the period
when health and strength are most
wanted" MIR. Rhodes makes a signl-
ficant point in saying that ''the hearty
English salutation Of good morning
had given way to an inquiry about
ones health" not of perfunctory sort,
but calling for definite answer. Then
follows an amazing array of excuses on
the ground of Ill health brought for
ward by members of both houses OF
Congress. The causes Of this condition
bad cooking and diet, fast eating,
lack Of exercise-are shown to have
been fairly national in their scope.
Against all this contemporary testa-
mony 1t is fair to set the consideration
that the historian Of fifty years hence,
noting the frequency Of nervous
breakdowns" In the record Of our own
times, may suppose that we are gen
Grafton of weaklings. 1t is always easy
to generalize too broadly. Yet the fact
remain that Uncle Sam is gradually
growing from a raw-boned, sallow, un'
healthy fellow into a creditable spec
linen of health and manly vigor.

 reputation of Hon. Wm l.. Diston, ap-

 and have behind it flavor of personal

 little cheap advise for which they were
 not grateful What some people may
 have done is no charge against Diston.
