BY MAX NORDAU.

European literature is very fond of
the American man as a type. Alex
ander Dumas was the first to place
him in the theater in his play PES
trangere (The Foreign Woman).
Since then the American man has
haunted thousands of plays and
novels in European languages, always
the same in aspect as well as in char
acter; tall, thin, very muscular, clean
shaven, Of nondescript age, as he
combines youthful vigor with wrin-
kled forehead, and wears mask of
Indifference.
He emits the greatest Iaconisms in
low, calm and rather draWling voice.
He is married, he loves his wife, but
lives over there, in New York, Bos-
ton or Chicago, while his wife is
amusing herself in Paris. 3D..
Twice a year he makes an abrupt
appearance on the scene, remains a
few days during which time he re-
ceives endless cabIegrams. He re-
sembIes a noiseIess motor; speaks
little but acts all the time. His OUT
ward GOODNESS hides a strong and
naive sentimental life. In his head
nothing but specuIations on the stock
exchange in his heart-nothing but
sentiment.
With men a phlegmatic wrestler,
cold as ice and hard as steel; with
women, a defenceless child.
Americans are apt to smile when
they see this portrait which they fail
to recognize, but these traits are, al
though touching on caricature, what
strike us most in Americans visiting
Europe.
Contrary to the American type of
men who are to be found at every
step in European literature the Amer
ican woman is totally absent from it.
She has neither inspired novelists nor
playwrights. All have passed her with
Indifference. That is worthy of note,

a diplomat nor consul and follows
no professional duties which force
him to social life. AS rule he does
not try to make European connec-
tions. He keeps strictly to his fellow
countrymen whom he meets at their
clubs or in their homes.
The American woman, on the con-
trary, is to be met with everywhere.
Wherever life is costly or where wo-
man is the slave of fashion she goes.
She is the center of attention in all
the fashionable country seats, sum-

places. She is on the lookout for
invitations and receives with great
hospitality.
She does not miss a single circle
where, according to the ruling of the
rich, you must put in an appearance
if you are to be considered. 1t is a
question with her of being present
wherever fashion and elegance rule
supreme.

And yet she does not meet with re-

She fails to become an intellectual
center and never attains any other
role in society than that of brutal
opulence.
The objection cannot be raised, I
am certain, that the ambition of rul-
ing society and being the. center of
all intellectual movement is denied to
all foreign women. The Paris of to-

20, 900 DRUG FIENDS In U. s.
They Probably Consume 1,7OO,OOO,-
600 Average Doses a Year

Washington, Dec. 2.-The number
of drug g 'fiends" in the United States
is not nearly so large as had been sup
posed, the public health service re-
ports. 1t had been estimated that be-
tween l and per cent of the popula-
tion We're drug habitues. The report al
so states that the evils due to the i'm
proper use of such drugs have been
greatly exaggerated.
In Tennessee during the first six
months of the Anti Narcotic law, 1,4O3
permits were issued to persons.
The approximate number of average
doses of habit-forming drugs imported
into the United States in 1911 and
1912 was respectively 3,040, 100000
and 2,308,700,000.
From this data, the report says, it
would appear from the average con
sumption of the drug habitue in Ten
nessee, that each addict would take
1000 doses each month or $4,000
doses year.
Tennessee, it is added, contains one
hftieth of the population of the United
States, and on that ratio there would
be a total of something more than
10000 drug habitues, consuming ap-
proximately S50,O00,00O average
doses per year.
This quantity says the report,
PROBABLY is somewhat low, but it is
fair to assume that not more than dou-
pie TINS amount, or approximately l.
'O0,O0O,0OO average doses are consum
ed annually by drug habitues. -
