Wismar. a port of $4,000 people on the
Baltic, situated in the German duchy
of Mecklenburg-S -Schwerin, but belong
ing legally to Sweden, has recently be-
come a German city. 1t was pledged
to King Gustav ~ for loan of 81 ,O00,- .
900, and the king of Sweden having
failed to redeem it within the century,
It has passed to the duke of Mecklen-
burg -Schwerin, from whose ancestor
the money was borrowed.
In the early part of the eighteenth
century Denmark, the most powerful
enemy of Sweden, after the destruction
of the Hanseatic league, kind of trade
union established by certain German
cities for safety and commercial pur-
poses. captured Wismar and razed the
forthcations. Afterward peace was
declared and the city reverted 10

threats crystallized into a demand fol
an enormous indemnity. The money
had to be raised at once. The duchy
of Mecklenburg advanced 1,25S'OOC
reichsthaler and took Wismar, Neu-
kloster and the island of Poel as Sc
curity.
Under the conditions of the loan the
city of Wismar and the two govern
ment districts We're to remain in pledge
for one hundred years. AT the end of
the hundred years Sweden could
claim and obtain the pledged city and
land by paying back the original loan
with per cent compound interest. A
further provision, however. of the loan
was that should Sweden fail to take
any notice whatever Of the expiration
of the time, the contract would become
renewed automatically for another
hundred years. The sum which
Sweden would have had to pay il she

that have taken this subject up that
within few years the McAdoo and
Pennsylvania railroad tunnels under
the river will be in operation, and that
in them the danger to shock and ac-
cident will be greater, owing to the
more perfect confinement in those
tunnels.
In the New York subway the stations
are not very far apart and hope OF
rescue is reasonable, but in steel
lined tunnel two miles long, reaching
under the bed of a river, the condi-
tions are quite different and these as
socations have insisted that these
subaoueous tunnels shall be equipped
with reservoirs of sufficient capacity
to draw all the trains that may at any
possible moment, even during the
highest congestion, be between the
New York, New Jersey or Long Island
City openings
The fact that the officials of the
New York Central railroad profited by
the experience of the Interborough
Rapid Transit company by Installing
an electrical equipment calling for
storage batteries to be used in case
their great power house at Yonkers
suffers an accident will doubtless re-
suit in the introduction of similar
equipment in the subway. The bare
fact that trains may be stalled be-
| -, l. M from
the main generating plant of the COM
pany, which is always a terrific ner'
vous strain upon passengers in the
stalled trains, is enough to cause seri-
Gus consideration.
DR.. e. C. Spitzka, the eminent spe-
cialist on nervous disorders, when
asked to express an opinion, said
This is a matter that requires grave
consideration. There is no doubling the
fact that many nervous disorders re-
suit from shocks to which the New
York public, or people living in any
large city, are subjected in their daily
life And it is not always a matter
of shock to the nervous system. You
talk about the manner in which cars
are stopped in the subway far from
good air and light, with no means of
reaching the stations and always that
vague fear that another train may APP
proach with high speed.
"There are perhaps many causes for
lights going out in trains and arousing
in passengers an element of fear. But
there are other means by which per-
sons are apt to suffer nervous shocks
Hearing is the most refined of all the
special senses and most intimately in
terwoven with the mechanism of the

horse power dynamo. By this it is not
intended to convey the idea that pas
sengers are in any danger of being
shocked electrically, but they are sub
iect, owing to accidents trifling in
themselves to nervous horror and
shock quite as great as if wrecks oc-
Cured. 1t occurs daily that the tun-
mel trains lose their motion and the
interior lights go out whenever there
is an interruption in the power house.
and in the space of thirty seconds, in
utter ignorance of what the cause is,
Imagination has time to suspect the
worst. and the nervous system has
had a shock quite as great and almost
as wastefu as if what was imagined
had come to pass.
Shocks of the same kind may be suf-
fered with Indifference on an overhead
structure or on the street surface,
where one has a pleasant outlook and
can at least ascertain what the i'm
mediate cause of the stoppage is, but
in the confined space of the tunnel the
case is quite different, and the horror
of the situation is very much enhanced

boring and bus driving and carpenter
ing. His father and mother have never
mentioned that he might become any
thing very much better than his father
or grandfather have been.
What happens? If the boy is ambi-
tious and has good stuff in him he
suddenly determines that America is
the place for ambitious poor boys, and
ten to one before he is 16 or II he will
come over to the United States in the
steerage twenty years hence returning
first cabin.
American boys and girls who write
over to the English boys and girls are
unacquainted with the differences be-
tween the English board school ana
the American public school, They do
not know of the class distinction that
makes the free board school of Eng
land an institution patronized by only
the humber orders of children. The
lawyers daughter does not attend it.
Neither does the city clerks little boy,
unless the city clerks salary is so mea-
ger, indeed, that he cannot afford to
pay a shilling a week to send his child
to a private" school. The English
board school children are the sons and
daughters of mechanics, farm laborers
and the poorer classes in different
trades and occupations. Almost with
out exception let it be taken for grant
ed that the board school child is a
poor child The children, their teach
ers, their parents, the course of study,
are all as different as possible from
those of our American public schools.
At first the course of study for begin
ners is very similar, but the children
attending usually go no further than
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-09

worked in a factory. The little Eng
lish girl expects to do the same thing
when she grows up, and as she has no
ambition to marry ''outside her sta
tion" she expects that when she does
marry it will be to a good artisan who
will be kind to her.
This same little English board school
girl is also quite frightened when the
little American girl announces, my
papa is a lawyer; what does your papa
do?" She hunts up the word Lawyer"
and finds it means "barrister," which
is even a greater thing than solicitor
Why, English barristers belong to the
gentry" and the little board school
girl has never seen, except at a dis
tanoe, a barrister's daughter. Suppose
she should write back and say, MY
papa is an artisan and earns 30 shil-
linSs ($720) a week" What, thinks she,
will the little American girls mother
an artisans daughter?
So the little English girl very often
keeps her own counsel and becomes
quite disturbed when the little Ameri-
can girl writes: MY papa says he will
take me to Europe when I have fin
ished at the high school and gone a
year at a finishing school, and | look
forward to meeting you in London and
having you show me about" That she,
the daughter of a workingman, living
we will say, near Camberwell green,
should hobnob with young lady whose
father is a lawyer quite takes her
breath away. But the correspondence
goes on and in a year or more the
little English girl begins to understand
that in America there is something
which not exist in her own country.

and his boy friends have fired off their
crackers on Guy FaWkes day.
The London board school boy. too,
takes the greatest interest in reading
how his New York friend assembled to
the top of the Flatiron building, all
though he writes back by the next mail
to inquire if a flatiron is the same as
the sad iron like mother irons her
clothes with" and he believes, though
against all his senses of reason, when
his American correspondent tells just
what can be done inside the thumb of
the Liberty statue and opens his eyes
wide at the American boys account Of
this, that and the other thing as being
the biggest" in the world
AS for the little American girl. she
reads and rereads the English girls
account of how Il was sitting on Il
bench in the park one day and just
then the queen, looking so pretty and
young. drove by and | shook my hand
kerchief at her." She likes to know,
too, that the little English girl is study
ing free hand drawing.
frequently the little English girl is
puzzled over the little American girls
description of her mamma as "presi-
dent of the literary club" and of the
afternoon tea she has given to her col
lege class. Such information as this
bewilders the little board school girl,
for the little London girl with whom she
is corresponding has probably never be-
fore in her life written to or received
letter from the daughter of a college
graduate, unless it might happen to be
her mission teacher or some one of that
sort. The little English girls mother
was in all likelihood a housemaid be-
fore her marriage or possibly she
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-09

She understands that her brother
might go to that country and work his
way through college and get to be a
lawyer himself. That she, if she learns
enough, might go and teach school or
obtain situation as a private secre-
tary and that perhaps in the dim
future nobody will remember that her
father was a workingman.
The English board school boy. too, is
often puzzled at the announcement of
his little American friend that "somo
day l am going to be a doctor. My
father is a doctor and l am to take
up medicine when l have spent a few
years at college," For mark you, the
English boys father is a carpenter or
a bus driver, and in England carpen-
terS and bus drivers sons, unless they
are very exceptional indeed, do not
aspire to be doctors. Next comes along
a letter from an American boy whose
father is also carpenter or a street
car driver. But what writes this young
American of his future intentions
Why, he says: II have made up my
mind to be a reporter on a paper. Then
l shall become editor, and after that l
expect to be the owner of a great news
paper and have big say as to who
shall be elected president of the United
States"
But when an American schoolboy who
says he blacks boots in between times
to earn money for his widowed mother
announces that he is going to study
law and get into politics, and expects
to be United States senator and after
ward be elected president of the United
States, the English schoolboy is fairly
staggered. There has not seemed TO
be much ahead of him except day la
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-09

should not rebuild the Notifications.
The place thus lost its strength ana
importance and became instead am
element Of weakness to the Swedes,
It's great sea trade was ruined and its
inland trade lost.
Under these circumstances it was not
surprising that the Swedes tired at
last of their white elephant. So in the
reign of the incompetent and extrava-
giant Gustavus " with territory lost
to the French in one war; with Finland
lost to Russia, with defeat In war
against Norway. the Swedes seized
an opportunity to relieve themselves o.
the burden of possession.
The direct opportunity was given by
the cancellation by Gustayus Of his
engagement to the daughter Of Duke
Frederick Franz l. That person not
unnaturally resented the insult and
threatened dire things. Finally his

by the lack of light in the cars, which
are lighted from the power rail.
The effort of engineers and officials
in New York to provide adequate
transportation facilities has been so
energetic that this simple precaution
to protect the lives and health of the
travelling community has been over
looked, and it appears that although
in Paris and London the municipalities
specify in granting their franchises
that reservoirs should be maintained
the whole subject was ignored here
by the Rapid Transit commissioners
and the authorities.
Nowhere in the comment on this sub
iect has any attention been paid to
the lack of means in the New York
tunnel, now under operation, for fend-
ing Off so to speak, the jerks and
shocks of the $4,000 horse power dyna-
mo on the brains and hearts of pas
sengers. Delicate women or men with
alcoholic or narcotic hearts can re-
ceive in a sudden emergency like this
a very damaging shock. 1t has been

against the assertion of her rights.
Thus we see that while the immediate
business transaction dates back but
ABOUT one hundred years, any diplo
matte s:luabbles over the city now
would have to revert to the surrenders
and armistices of the thirty years war
Q61S-4S). And the fact that Wisma'
heretofore really was Swedish terri
tory explains why Germany has not
fortified the port, which is considered i
the finest harbor site OF the entire
Baltic coast. Under the Swedish

the seventh standard, which is about
equal to our American seventh or
eighth grade.
Taking these things into considera-
tion, the surprising thing to a keen OBJ
server will be the superiority of the
English children's letters over those of
the American children. After eXamin-
ing several dozens of letters exchanged
1 have most regretfully come to the de-
cision that the American public school
child is far, far behind the English
board school child of the same age in
spelling, grammar, construction of
sentences, handwriting, punctuation,
paragraphing and the art of writing
an interesting letter. With a few ex-
ceptions that prove the rule, 1 have
noted a tendency to the guidebook
geographical style of letter among the
American girls and boys, as opposed
to the interesting, gossipy sort of let
ters sent over by the English boys and
girls. There is, too, more individuality
and originality in the little writer's
themselves as shown in their letters
All this is perhaps due to the fact
which a visitor to England cannot fail
to notice-the natural talent or genius
of the English as a nation for letter
writing. In the matter of writing in
terestlng letters the English are GER
tainly our superiors, and that it is a
natural gift, and not one due merely
TO education, is proved by the superb
ority of board school letters to Ameri-
can public school letters. 1t behooves
the American boys and girls to culti-
vate the art of letter writing, to con-
suit their dictionaries in the matter of
spelling and definition, and it behooves
their teachers to allow them to dis
play something of originality and char
acter in their handwriting, rather than
forcing them TO write "backhanded, "
as many American children complain
they are compelled to do
That English board school pupils
should be sending to America letters
superior in every way to the letters
they are receiving from our public
school boys and girls is nothing short
of national disgrace and shame to us.

"Many of the nervous disorders
brought about by contact with life IN
a rushing city are transmitted to chill
dren. / am a strong believer in pre-
natal influence in women. Naturally
a woman who comes under the influ-
ence of elements of transportation IN
New York suffers to a more or less
extent from shocks. This is most true
in my opinion, with persons who are
fresh from the country. City bred
persons are accustomed from child
hood to escape trolley cars and dodge
from under the heads of horses in
crossing the streets in New York, but
those who are born and reared in the
atmosphere Of country life have their
nerves always tensely drawn until they
are accustomed to local conditions.
"Those who live calm existence or
are allowed freedom from the exciting
episodes of New York life should ex-
ceed the average life of the citizen of
the metropolis. There are many dis
turbing elements here. We combat
them daily Many of them are ele-
ments of discord. From our studies
we may hear the noise of the organ
grinder. This, with the incessant
shouts of venders of fruit and vege-
tables, the awful yells which distract
the mind and play havoc with the
nerves, has a bad effect upon the sys-
tenn.

by living too close to the elevated
railroad. She was so worried by the
constant noise that she became a ner-
vous wreck and died.
There is only one thing to advise.
Advice is the cheapest thing in the
world, you know. Those who can lead
calm existence should do so. lot
of oil is burned in the human system
by too much worry and nerve shocks.
A person would be infinitely better
off physically if he could free the mind
from unnecessary worry. This is so
obvious that there is little use for
comment. 1t is a subject on which
great thought may be expended. The
statement that the average life of
persons has not been extended in spite
of sanitary and scientific safeguards
is undoubtedly true. We are leading
a much faster life than we did ninety
years ago. And there are more things
to disturb us"
