Demoralizing Effects of the War.

The effects of wal appear to be pretty
much the same everywhere. Of the
state of affairs in Paris, after the close
of the Franco-Prussian troubles, we have
heard a good deal, but the vail disclos-
ing the condition in Berlin has Just been
raised. A pamphlet recently published
in Germany, entitled "Berlin's Moral
and Social Condition" tells the story:
"Out of a population of eight hum
bred and t~hirty-two thousand, n hum
dred and twenty-five thousand are re-
ceiving public charity. In 1867, nine
per cent. of the population lived in
cellars, and twenty per cent. in crowded
apartments. Since then, two hundred
thousand souls have been added to the
population, and rents have increased
greatly, SO that the poor are compelled
to pay nearly half their earnings for
decent shelter, and numbers have been
forced to sleep out of doors. 1t is said
to be dangerous to go through the streets
unarmed, because of the increase of the
rowdy element, and petty riots and con-
flicts with the police are frequent. More
than half the population are working
people, and the city has become the
center of the socialistic movement.
Many of the workmen also openly favor
community of wives. Divorces have
increased to ten per cent. of the number
of marriages solemnized. The attend
ance at the churches has decreased tC
one per cent. of the adult population
and, of twenty-three thousand funerals
in 1870, nearly twenty thousand were
performed without any religious cere
monies whatever. Women flock b.
the thousands to Berlin to obtain EN-
ployment, and, failing, large number
fall into shame"

THE wOODNIAN.
BY JUDGE sILAs Il. WRIGHT.

AL day long the stalwart woodman
Swings his glittering ak amain,
Anu n stricken mountain monarch
Means with heart-consuming pain.
Each incessive stroke is followed
By a clean and clear-cut chip
Tough enough to pin together,
Some Alaskan ice-struck shin
Round about his feet collecting.
Reaching even to the knee
Two white heaps hewn from the bosom
Of that stont and stately tree.
And at length a timid tremor
Steals upon each limb and leaf
And a groan so very human,
Now a wall akin to grief.
Hark a sound as if of thunder
Shakes the hill and shakes the sky,
And the echoes catch each other
AS among tbs rocks they fly.
Now the woodman stands a moment,
70 regain his failing breath,
And with open, careless collar
Breathes in rosy, hill-born health.
4Atu liz HlOltUbS Jue 1dlltu IuOUhTCl,
As a king might mount his throne,
And he triumphs in the conquest,
Which his arm hath won alone.
Log on log of lengthy sedgment
Down the hillside soon it rolled
Where the plow ere long will struggle
To explore the virgin mould.
Now the heaps are nightly kindled,
And the fires light up the sky,
And a more than boreal brightness
Beams about the hill-tops high.
New he builds his cribbed cabin,
Fences round about a field,
Which no foeman e'er can conquer,
Which no freeman e'er will yield.
SpriGkled be our land with cabins;
Grandeur but provoked a groan-
And liberty is ever Graded,
In the cots that poor men own.

How GOodyear's Secret Was Stolen.

In a late number of Hearth and
Home, Mr.. N. S. Dodge tells how the
secret of vulcanizing rubber was stolen
from Goodyear. After this great inven-
tor had perfected his process and ap-
piled for a patent in this country, he
took some samples Of his prepared rub
Der and exhibited them to Charles Han
cock, of the great rubber firm of Charles
Macintosh & Co., of London. Leav-
ing the samples with him, to test their
excellence, and offering to sell them the
secret of their preparation for the sum
of 910, 900, Mr.. Goodyear paid a visit to
Paris. The temptation now came to
Hancock to try and find out how the
American had prepared his rubber.
Persuaded by his partners, he employed
the best analytical chemists in London,
who worked night and day till they
found out that the rubber contained sui
phur. Having made this discovery, it
was easy to see that these substances
could only be combined by means OF
heat. AS the proportions could be ac-
%curately determined by analysis, it was
easy to combine them at different tenn
peratures and to note the results. Soon
specimens were prepared in all respects
equal to Goodyear's. The day before
his return the firm of Charles Mackin,
tosh & Co. had applied for a patent on
vulcanized India rubber. Mr.. Good
year called at the Office to hear thei1
decision about purchasing his secret,
but learned that they did not want to
buy.

LEFT ALONE AT EIGHTY.
BY ALICE ROBINS.

What did You say, dear-breakfast?
Somehow I've slept too late
You are very kind, dear Efie;
Go tell them not to wait.
III dress as quick as ever I can,
Ny old hands tremble sore,
And Polly, who used to help, dear heart,
Liest t'other side of the door.
Put up the old pipe, deary,
1 ouldn smoke to-day;
Tn sort o. dazed and frightened,
And don't know what to say.
It's lonesome in the house here,
And lonesome out o. door
Inever knew what lonesome meant
In all my life before.
The bees go humning the whole day long,
And the first June rose has blown;
And 1 am eighty, dear Lord, to-day,
Too old to be left slonei
O., heart Of love so still and cold,
0 precious lips so white
For the first sad hours in sixty years
You were out of my reach last night.
You we cut the flower. You're very kind;
She rooted it last May.
1t was only a slip !; I pulled the rose,
And threw the stem away.
But she, sweet, thrifty soul, bent down,
And planted it where she stood;
& Dear, maybe the flowers are living, she said,
Z" Asleep in this bit of wood"
I can't rest, dear-I cannot rest;
Let the old man have his will,
And wander from porch to garden-post-
The house is so deathly still;
Wander, and long for a sight of the ate
She has left ajar for me
We had got so used to each other, dear,
So used to each other, you see.
Sixty years, and so wise and good,
She made me a better man;
From the moment I kissed her fair, youLg face
Our lovers life began.
And seven fine Boys she has given me,
And out of the seven not one
But the noblest father in all the land
Would be proud to call his son.
o, well, dear Lord, III be patient,
But 1 feel sore broken up;
At eighty years it's an awesome thing
To drain such a bitter cup.
1 know there's Joseph, and John and Hal,
And four good men beside:
But a hundred sons couldn't be to me
Like the woman I made my bride.
My little Polly-so bright and fair!
So winsome and good and sweet
She had roses twined in her sunny hair,
White shoes OF her dainty feet;
And 1 helC her hand-was it yesterday
That we food up TO be wed?
And-no, I remember, I'm eighty to-day,
ARd my der wife Polly is dead.

THE CUBAN WAR.-The last authentic
news received from the seat of war in
Cuba is of a decidedly favorable char
acter. The patriots are not only steadi-
ly holding their ground in the Eastern
Department Of the island, but gain
slowly outside of it. They have now a
suficiency of arms, though their quality
might be better, and have lately received
a large supply of ammunition. The
officers are drilling the blacks with great
assiduity, and the men show by their
tact and devotion that they are both
earnest and sanguine of ultimate sue
cess. The ranks of the patriots are re-
ported to have latterly received consid-
cradle accessions from slaves, who seize
every opportunity to leave their Spanish
masters.

of the South, we find in the Editors Draw

"The negro and mule (writes friend in

ia the Southern cotton fields, and like the
Hi4wathsn string and bow, useless each
without the other. The lazy indifi areuee
and careless cruelty Of one, and wonderful
powers OF endurance of severe labor, bad
treatment and nasiec5 of the other, coin

An EHESYFUE. MONTH

The London Pal Mall Gazette saws that
the month Of May has ever been an event
ful month in the history of France, and It
certainly hiss preserved its sensational
character in the present year. On the 3Oth
OF May, 1i3l, Joan of Arc was burned at
kOuen. On the 18th of May, 1910, Henry
". IVES murdered by Ravsillac. On the
18th Of May, 1913, Louis XIV. assembled
the throne. On the 23d of May, 1905, the
French were defeated at Families. In May,
1856, began tho ''saven years war" On
the 10Th of May, 1874, died that estimable
monarch, Louis Ky. On the 9TH of NAV,
1850, the States-Genersl commenced their
sittings at Versailles. On the oath of May,
1871, BabGu: paid the penaltv Of his head
for being an unsuccessful conspirator; AID
n the same month Of the same year, P3eh-
egru failed id his little plans. On the 10Th
of May, 1o05, Napoleon l. was crowned
King OF Italy. On the 27th of MAY, 1903,
Charles the " and his son abdicaied The
throne of Spain in favor of Napoleon.
On the Sd of May, 1914, Louis
XVIII arrived in Paris - Napoleon
| arriving at Elba on the Sol.
lowing day. On the 9Th of May, 1921, Ma
poleOn 1. died at st. Helena. On the 18th
of May, 1880, under the PoIignac f.dminis-
tratioD, the Chamber Of Deputies was dis
solve /, the dissolution leading to that crisis
which cost Charles y. his cro'Hn. The goth
Il May, 1884, is the date IF the dea:h of
Lafayette. On the Sth of Nav, 1857, an
amnesty for political cffanses was declare.
On the 20th OF May, 1883, Talleyrand lied.
GA the 18th OF May, 1899, Paris was e. ,liyeu-
ed by the insurracfion of Barbes aus. Bsncui.
On the 18th Of May, 1910, the Chambers
decTeed the removal Of Napoleo on from St.
Helena 10 France. TIE 18th of MAY, 1916,
Louis Napoleon eS-eaped from Ham. On the
IN OF May, ~ 8, the Provisional Govern
ne !II IoFOc d sf,er the sbdic2tion of Louis
I I'LL p$ resigned to an executive Commits
SION .ected by the National As'embly-the
~ Jack on the Assembly being suppressed on
, the 10th, and the perpetual Punishment Of
the Orleans family being decreed on the 26th
of the same month. On the 18th of
May, 1855, the Industrial Exhibition was
opened at Paris, and universal peace would
no doubt have prevailed in the world fcs-
tered by arts and commerce, but that I'M
fortunately France declared war with Aus
tria, and bis Majesty Napoleon LII arrived
at G anoa on the 18th Of May, 1859. On
the S5h of May, 1868, tee Chambers were
dissolved, and in the Same month II. dc
Persigny issred some rather arbitrary ad-
vice TO electors. On the 9Th of May, 1866, the
late Emperor expressed bis "detestation"
Of the treaties of 1916, and on the 18th Of
May, 1871, the good people Of Paris showed
their detestati0n of the column of the
Place Vendome by knocking it down. Such
are few or the events which have made
the month of May peculiarly merry one
for the French, who will no doubt be all
the morrier for the May frolics of the last
few days. 1t is, however, only fair on the
other months Of the year to observe that
shey have none Of them been backward in
contributing to the fun of France.
