The Englishman Accustomed to Abuse
by Foreigners

by Foreigners.
From the London Spectator
The first thought which occurs to an
average Englishman, reading words of
praise OF his countrymen and their char1c-
teristics written by foreigner, is prob
ably one OF distrust rather than pleasure.
We do not mean ito say that Does he
want anything" is the first question &C.
curling to the Engllshman scanning half
a column Of CONNIE ndation quoted from a
foreign newspaper, or that he always fears
the Greeks when they bring gifts. That
would be to write him down a churlish
even II a valuably cautious. person. But
ne Is unaccustomed to much praise. and
thoroughly accustomed to abuse. from for
elgners and from, his own countrymen
alike When, therefore, he ready in a for
Sgn paper long ranegyric of the dignity
and the virtues of the nation to which he
helongs. although he Is to a certain extent
pleased that he should have made a good
impression upon his critic. still at the back
or his head there is a dull feeling of wonder
whether his critic has rightly Judged him:
whether the critics mind is evenly bal
anced, and whether his judgment is likely
to be accepted as authoritative; whether,
In short, the words of praise will be ac-
cepted by others and should be accepted by
himself.
That is, we believe, fairly accurate de-
scrtptfon OF the frame Of mind in which
most Englishmen will have read the ex-
tracts from Baron Iwasaki's article on the
character of Englishmen recently printed
in the Jill Shimpo Of Toxic and published
In Mondays Daily Mail. THE individuals
of the upper and middle classes among
them are distinguished no less for their
strict morals than for the dignity and pro
prtety of their manners. Whatever may lie
the work they are engaged in. they bring to
1t keen sense Of responsibility and VIC
liant attention. together with honesty and

of promise. be the matter important OF
trifling, as the height Of enormity. '
The prevailing neral tone among the mid
die and upper classes is SO healthy, and
constitutes such a powerful influence as
social sanction, that anybody falling under
the general standard at once forfeits tho
esteem and society of his fellow-men. be-
fore whom he can never again hold up mis-
head" And this is Baron Iwasaki's sum-
ming up: THE characteristics of the Eng.
fish are their dignified carriage. the purity
Of their private life. their love Of truth and
honor, and their amenableness to discipline
and law"

Electricity on Trunk Lines.

From the New York Tribune.
All authorities on electric traction have
for years been in substantial agreement OIL
one point. They believe that there is a
greater economy in frequent service and
short runs than In trains making long runs
but dispatched several hours apart. Hence
they argue that IT will pay to use electricity
on urban and suburban lines: that it is
doubtful whether expresses can be advan-
tageously operated with 1t, and that the APP
plication of 1t to freight traffic is a still
more remote possibility. At present the
first and third of these propositions may
be regarded as automatic So far as any
change of conviction Is likely to occur In
the next few years. 1t will affect only the
second. Theory and practice in regard to
long distance passenger service may be
modified by two influences. There is a
steady, though slow. increase in the num-
Der of trains over the principal lines of the
country, and marked. not to say revolu-
tionary. improvements are made in traction
methods from time to time. It is expedient,
therefore, to sum UP the case afresh every
few years and see whether changed condi-
lions warrant new conclusions.

School for Little Cripples.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
To take children whose deformities make
It impossible for them to share the work
and play Of their fellows. to give such chill
dren the special work and play they need.
and to train them in handicrafts which w1l
raise them to economic independence In
after life-this is a beautiful and a useful
service to the community. II Is a service.
however. which cannot be properly per-
formed till we have q building entirely de-
voted to it. At present there are sixty
seven crippled children at the Tiiden School
and twenty-three at the Fallon School. Be-
tween thirty and forty other children are
on the waiting list. Only children who arc
90 badly crippled as to be quite UNFIT for
companionship,s with normal children are
admitted to the crippled children's depart
ments. At both the Tilden and the Fallon
schools thissdepartment IL completely sep
arated from the rest of the school. In both
cases. however. the accommodations are
not altogether desirable. and II b ma
strange that people who are interested in
the work feel that a special building with
special fittings would offer great opportuna-
ties for improved methods.

A Remedy for Insomnia.

From the London Daily Chronicle.
Even a simpler remedy for insomnia than
the repetition Of go to Sleep Is said to be
found in German medical gymnastics,
which prescribe a certain exercise to be
done just before getting into bed. The pa
tient must first stand upright, slowly rails
ing the arms forward and up till they are
stretched above the head. He must then
as slowly bring them forward and down
again, at the same time bending the body
in the same direction. being careful not to
bend the knees, TIL the nnger-npe almost
will be hanging downward and his body
bent Imply in two. position that produces
a relaxation of the muscles and a conse-
quent feeling of lazfness. This exercise.
repeated two or three times has been
known to have excellent results: but, Of
course, everything depends on its being
done slowly. and on the patient allowing
himself to hang with absolute limpness
when his head is pointed downward.
