Social Life in Prussia.

DR.. Bellows writes from Berlin to the
Liberal Christian
1.-The education TO cleanliness, decent
manners, good carriage and respectful be-
havior, which this great camp called Prus-
sia secures, is something most instructive
to see. The soldiers do not look brutal
coarse or sensual. There is some secret
about their training which neither the
French nor the English have caught. II
must be a good deal in the German blood
which is not hot, but as if made of beer,
not beef-a little cool and sluggish The
German military spirit is enforced and
corrected by the universal education of the
people. German soldiers and sailors are
different from American English or French
They are neither drunkards, nor quarrel
some. nor reckless. The union of care,
ful elementary education with a universal
participation in the soldiers calling, takes
away the exceptional character of a H.
censed rudeness which belong to soldiers
when they are only a special class of the
population.
But, doubtless, this soldiers life so ia,
vorable to order and decorum, and even SC
Christening to youthful passions, was another
and most painful side to it. 1t drills the
Prussian youth to mechanical habits, re-
presses personal enterprise, delays the self:
relying qualities in their character, habitu-
ates them to being taken care of, encourages
them TO lives of busy idleness, and sacrifices
each to all, the people to the country
Accordingly, there is a general spirit OF
listlessnesS. occupation with Immediate
pleasures. or magnifying of eating and
drinking as very serious occupations, con-
tentment with humble means, patient
waiting for slow advancement, which 1t Is
discouraging to see in so we'll educated, SC
respectable and so orderly people.
Quick as Prussia is in arms-because
her military life is all reduced to machine
rv, and the machinery Is In the finest order
and can be set in motion i'll an hour-there
is no other quickness about her. She is {
slow country. Every practical interest
| lags Her workmen are slow, and do not
effect in Il day three-fourths of the work
of an English or american workman. L
drives one nearly crazy to see how many
arms there are on the levers by which the
smallest object is reached. In the restau
rants one man receives the orders, anothe
carries it, third transfers it. fourth ex
ecutes it, fifth receives the thing executed
and a sixth makes it over to the origna
orderer. 1t takes twenty minutes to get
chop which would be before you in tiv
minutes in an American eating-house
There is system of military sunordina
ton running through the whole social an
economical life, and this narrows an
limits everybody's sphere, and contract
and paralyZes energy and hope"

The Massacre of st. Bartholomew,

Samuel Smiles, a popular English writer,
is the author of valuable and exceedingly
interesting history of the Huguenots, just
published by the Harpers, from which we
take the following account of the massacre
of St. Bartholomew
Having thus led the reader up to the peri
cd at which the exodus of Protestants from
the Low Countries took place, we return to
France, where Catherine de Medicis was
stealthily maturing her plans for stamping
out heresy in the dominions of her son.
The treaty of 1870 was still observed; the
Protestants were allowed II worship God
after their own forms, and France was slowly
recovering from the wounds which she had
received during the recent civil war. AT
this time Catherine de Medicis artfully con-
trived marriage between her daughter
Margaret and Henry of Bearn, king of Nav
ARE, chief of all the Huguenots. Henry Is
mother, Jeanne D'Albret, and the Admiral
Coligny, concurred in the union, in the hope
that it would put an end to the feuds which
existed between the rival religious parties.
Pope Plus ", however, refused to grant the
necessary dispensation to enable the marriage
to be celebrated according to the rites of the
Roman Catholic Church but the queen
mother got over this little difficulty by caus-

CONCERNING CoMETs.-A writer re-
marks in the Intellectual Observer:
when first seen in the telescope,
comet usually presents small round disc
of hazy light, somewhat brighter near the
centre. AS the comet approaches the sun
the disc lengthens, and, if the comet is to
be tailed one, traces begin to be seen of
streakiness in the comets light. Gradu-
ally tail is formed, turned always from
the sun. The tail grows brighter and lon
ger, and the head becomes developed into a
coma surrounding distinct Unmarked nu-
cleus. Presently the comet is lost to view
through its near approach to the sun. But
after while it is again seen, sometimes
wonderfully changed in aspect through the
effects of solar heat Some comets are
brighter and more striking after passing
their perihelion than before: others are
quite shorn of their splendor when they re-
appear.
The latter was the case with the comet
of 1896, as We learn from Sir John
Herschel, who watched it in the Southern
skies after it had become invisible to
Northen observers. On the other hand,
the comet of 1861 burst upon us in its full
splendor after perihelion passage. Some
comets have more than one tail
One appeared in l744 which had no less
than six tails, symmetrically disposed (if
one can trust the pictures handed down to
us) in the figure of half-opened fan.
Others have presented a yet more peculiar
appearance, having, besides tail in the
usual position, a second uncomfortable
tail at right angles to the first, or inclined
to it at some incongruous, out-of the way
angle for instance, in one case, one hum
dred and sixty degrees. Sometimes the
popularity is presented of perfectly dark
gap sepa-ating the tail from the head.
More commonly a dark space is seen be-
hind the head, but on each side of this
space the light from the head is continued
so as to form a bright border on each side
of the tail"

THE ABsURDITY OF DRINKING.-It has
become sort of popular-almost national
faith that it is not possible to be truly
happy unless you drink. Among certain
classes-and they are by no means exclu-
sively the lowest-drink is the beginning
and end of everything The very name of
liquor is held to be synonymous with en-
ioyment, and the dearer the liquor the
more it is priced and coveted. Yet every
man who is not a downright drunkard, is
well aware that the pleasures of drinking
are, beyond a certain point, mockery,
delusion and snare. [ put it to any one
who has stood half the night at bar or
sat half the night in club room, drink
ing, smoking, and bandying reckless talk.
if the enjoyment of such an evening has
been anything like that of a few hours
spent at home with book or newspaper
The evil influence of tavern pleasure on
the health is too obvious to be denied by
any one, and the illusory nature of the
pleasures themselves would be undeniable
also, if the persons who indulge in them
did not deceive themselves and put the
truth out of sight.
No one ever brought any good out of
drinking bout yet. 1t is short, feverish
spasm of animal enjoyment, which leaves
nothing behind but moroseness, regret, bad
temper, self reproach and headache. 1
should like to ask you, sir, if you say your
prayers when you come home in that state?
No, you don't. You are ashamed to say
them. You postpone them until you have
purged yourself, your mind and your lips
| BY more sober and rational behavior. Next
night when you pass the hours quietly at
home with book or friend, you feel that
you have had real enjoyment, and that the
time has passed pleasantly, that you have
learned something, and that you have not
injured your health. You are not ashamed
to say your prayers, and you get up next
morning with clear head, good appe-
tite, and an increased facility for work and
enjoyment of life.-AH the Year Round.

crater, and begins to play at throwing
stones. The third issues from lateral
opening on the verge of the precipice, with
a smooth, quiet flow like that of molten
iron from furnace. We approach it from
above, and look down upon it; we burn
our canes in it, at its very fountain-head
and an offcious guide carrying basket
goes through the ceremony of roasting eggs
in it. While we are thus occupied, the
eruption begins to show symptoms of in
creasing violence, and a large stone falling
within Il dozen yards of us gives warning
that it is time to depart. We descend the
mountain the same way by which We came,
and as we look back from the distance to-
ward the summit, where by day we saw
rising pillar of cloud, now, on returning
by night we see pillar of fire.

THE DARK AGEs-In modern Europe,
the Middle Ages were called the Dark
Ages. Who dares to call them so now
They are seen to be the feet on which we
walk, the eyes with which we see. 'Tis
one of our triumphs to have reinstated
them. Their Dante and Alfred. and Wick
life and Abelard and Bacon; their Magma
Charta, decimal numbers, mariners COM
pass, gunpowder, glass, paper. and clocks /;
chemistry, algebra, astronomy their Goth
ic architecture, their painting-are the de-
Hight and tuition of ours. Six hundred
years ago, Roger Bacon explained the pro-
cession of the equinoxes, and the necessity
of reform in the calendar; looking over
how many horizons as far as Liverpool and
New York, announced that machines can
be constructed to drive ships more rapidly
than whole galley of rowers could do.
nor would they need anything but pilot
to steer; carriages, to move with incredible
speed, without aid of animals, and ma
chimes to fly into the air like birds.-

PRACTIcAL EDUcATIoN.-Education should
consist much more than it does in learning
to do, to act, to perform. The successful
men of the world are those who can accom-
plish the ends of life, who can by their
own energy and skill bring about grand
and useful results Our educational insti-
tutions make us learned, cultured, but not
sufficiently actors. One reason why very
often the young men who have but little
education from the schools surpass those
who have lived for years in college walls,
is because they have been trained to action.
Action gives health and strength. Culture
gives ease, grace and finish. They belong
together, but have been separated. Let
them be brought once more into some
grand scheme of education. and we shall
have men and women as the result who can
not only accomplish noble work, but have
at the same time fine scholars, with culti-
waited manners, with grace and dignity of
demeanor.-Herald of Health.

of the long way that humanity has yet to

nothing of the fruit perceive that things
do move so slowly, that it seems to me as
though if l were jeremiah, l too could
pray that my head might become a toun-
tain of tears.
Well, that tends, you know, to useless
sympathy That tends to kind of senti-
mental dependency. l do not know but
in some sense a little bath once in while
in the Dead Sea of despair may be bene-
fetal but do not believe those brackish
waters are good for a man to bathe in every
day. Hope is better. Confidence in God
is better Cheer is better. Expectation
in respect to the future of the human
race is better. 1t does not do to take too
close an inspection of the facts of the hu-
man condition. We are to have kind of
campaigning spirit. When soldiers are on
campaign, they do not stop for comforts.
They do not look very closely at anything
They look at the great ends which they
expect to realize, and sink out of sight ten
thousand things which they would look at
if they were at home. And there is need
of a great deal of this in Christians. The
world will not bear much examination un-
less we have better glasses than our eyes
to reveal to us the hidden counsels and in
tents of God among men. And, on the
other hand, the love of working for the sake
of work ; working from motive of sympa-
thy with men , of gratitude that
makes us thankful for a little; patience to
work under discouragement, to work even
and to work no matter how dark the night
or how heavy the load-that is the better
Christian state And this state patience,
and gentleness, and expectancy, founded on
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, will be
sweet to the taste and strengthening to the

granary, the fine he had to pay was milch
eve, with her lamb and fleece, or as much
wheat as would cover the cat when held
up by the tail, with its head touching the
floor. No reduction was to be made. The
very tip of pussy's tail must be covered
with the culprit's wheat. Thus the price
given for cats was high, considering the
value of specie at that period, and the fact
of laws being made to protect the breed of
an animal which multiplies so fast, shows
that in the Middle Ages it must have been
scarce in Wales
