as the source Of its inspiration. aIIp the
present case, however, oYerrzealous
newspaper correspondents in JGermany
have not only proved beyond question
that Seidl arranged the hymn in the
form in which piously loyal Austrians
now sing it to one of Haydn's melodies,
but that it was originally composed to
order" by one, Laurenz Leopold Haschka,
who in the year 1897 received a
commission from the imperial Minister OF
the Interior, Count Saurau, "to write a
hymn, which, firstly, should be adapted
to make known to all the world that the
Emperor was a Just father of his people !;
and secondly, should. be capable Of
awakening a proper national pride in the
people, which was the more necessary sirce
the Jacobins in France hattered themselves
with the belief that they nowhere bad
more jealous adherents or more earnest
sympathizers in their nti-Royalist
doctrines than at Vienna" In obedience
to this order for a patriotic regeneration,
Herr Haschka produced verses which
were approved by the Court, and through
his intervention we're set to music by
Haydn, in return for which that great
composer received the thanks Of the
Emperor, and a gold snuff-box embelllshed
with the portrait of the Imperial donor.
The Prussian anthem, "HeiI dir i'm
Siegeskranz' {" Hail to thee in Victory's
band r'), can scarcely lay claim to as
much nationality, having been adapted
from Carey's "God Save the King" and
arranged in honour of Christian VII,
King of Denmark, by Heinrich Harries,
a native of Flensborg, in Slesvig, who
died in 1902 pastor of Brugge on the
Eyder. In 1918 the Prussians, being in
want Of a metrical exponent Of the
nations fervent loyalty, adopted, and
have ever since lovingly cherished, this
Anglo-Danish anthem.

believe, after years of study Of the evil
dence adduced by experts, that they have
been exaggerated in a very curious way.
Opium affects all patients in England
more or less in the anne way, and it has,
therefore, been imagined that it affects all
men throughout the world alike, but that
is not the case. 1t is probable that, like
whiskey, it has q different effect on differ
ent races. Scotchmen and Swedes drink
too much whiskey; but to say that whis-
key destroys Scotchmen and Swedes, is
a rhetorical exaggeration. The liquor
does not make them, as races, less strong,
less brave, or less prolific. But it is
nevertheless a certainty that whiskey can
kill out some races, such as Red Indians,
some tribes in the South Seas, and it is
probable, though not quite proved, some
castles of low vitality ID India itself. ST.
milarly opium, and especially Indian OPT
um-which is extremely "mild," and there
little used in medicine-does not appear
permanently to injure the Chinese of the
Delta, who have taken to it by q kind Of
instinct, and may find in it a protection
against fatigue and malaria, such as the
Peruvians find in coca !; while it kills out
the Assamese, and we greatly fear would
kill out the Bengalese Of the Gangetic
Delta, who, were the drug but cheap,
would be under the same atmospheric
temptation as the Chinese.

A PRACTICE.
7Z:J
(I5td.)

There is o dogma Of Buddhism that In
culcates respect for all life, and those of
the Orientals who profess and abide by
the dictates Of that religion are sometimes
required to undergo all sorts of physi-
cal discOmforts in order to give the pre-
cept in question its due observance. Not
long ago two natives of Calcutta became
engaged In a loud quarrel on a street corn
e. The policeman on whose beat the
disturbance occurred was a foreigner, and
when he inquired of the disputants the
cause of their difficulty, he was told that a
Marwaree merchant had given his servant,
one of the pair, two annas to pay the
other for "feeding bugs" and the former
was attempting to defraud the latter out
of a portion of his earnings. The officer
was unable to understand what was
meant by "bug-feeding," and was prepar-
ing to gather the couple in when a by
Btander explained that the Marwarees con-
sidered it sinful to destroy the life of any
insect, and deemed it a duty to feed them.
For this purpose the mar had been hired.
1t was his practice two hours before night
tall to repair to the residence Of the mer-
chant, and after stripping himself to lie in
the room where the bedding was. Here he
remained until the bugs had made a meal
off him. The insects having thus RECALLED
themselves, would retire for the night, and
the Iordly merchant was enabled to sleep
the night through in peace. True, there
is a deal Of practical benefit that accrues
from the minding of this tenet of the
Buddhist religion, provided one is rich
enough to serve up a live native to APP
pease the appetite Of the sleep tormentors.
1t would, however, be of little use to
adopt the plan at the seaside or the sum-
mer resorts of this country, as the
incident at once suggests. The Ameri-
can insectivora that disturb ones rest
ct these places are too heightened, too cpl
curean, too %appreciative of astronomical
deIicacy to compromise with a wealthy and
physically we'll conditioned nabob, and
satisfy their hunger by feasting off his
valet. The idea of such q thing would
make q ciner 1ectuI0rius laugh you to
scorn.

A NEW STEP IN JOURNALISM.
(From the Evening T'elegram)

The success of " the Telegram quota.
tons has introduced a new feature into.
American Journalism. 1t shows the grow
ing value of the evening press in an age
of cables. and wide-spreading t~elegraphs-
an age of excitement and events. The
true newspaper is that which records from
hour to hour the transactions of the day.
The Evening journal is slowly taking the
place Of the morning newspapers in this,
that its readers can learn in the afternoon
what otherwise would be unknown until
the next morning at breakfast. The value
of this precedence in giving the news is
inCalculable. Let us suppose such an
event as the fall of Sedan, the assassination
of President Lincoln or any of those
remarkable occurrences which affect the
fate Of nations and in on hour change every
money market in the world. If these
events could only be known to the public
through the morning papers they would
be m%onopoIized by eager stock spectators.
They could use the telegraph for their own
business advantage. 1t is related that the
head of the old house of Rotschild made a
large sum ofmoney by being able to know
the result of the battle of Waterloo before
any other merchants in London. This he
did by a system of trained carrier pigeons,
who brought him the intelligence twelve or
twenty-four hours in advance of the slow
ly moving mails. The result wa that
Rotschild was enabled so to arrange the
market that he made an immense profit.
Such an achievement would be impossible
now. The work of the carrier pigeon 10
now done by the newspaper. The COM
mercial people, the merchants. the dealers
in stocks, the bankers and business men
generally, are no longer at the mercy Of,
rich houses like R~otschild's. What a
Rotschild could do fSf his own personal
gain the newspaper does for the general
public. Such a work we are doing row..
Our despatch of the morning quotations
makes the EUening Telegram a recognized
financial journal Of New York.

O u S.
MOTHER.
(From'he Herald.)

Lord Macaulay, the great essayist and
historian, wrote these words =
Children, look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the FEELING of
even a single touch that is bestowed upon
you by that gentle hand! Make much
Of it while yet you have that most precious
of all good gifts-a loving mother. Read
the unfathomable love of those eyes the
kind anxiety of that tone and look, how
ever slight the pain. In after life you
may have friends-fond, dear, kind friends
but never will you have again the mex
pressible love and gentleness lavished upon
you which none but a mother bestows.
Often do I sigh in my struggles with the
hard, uncaring world, for the sweet, deep
security I felt when, of an evening, nest
ling in her bosom, l listened to some
quiet tale, suitable to my age, read in her
tender and u%ntiring voice. Never can
I forget her sweet glances cast upon me
when I appeared asleep; never her kiss
of peace at night. Years have passed
away since we laid her beside my father
in the old churchyard /; yet still her
voice whispers from the grave, and her
eye watches over me as I visit spots long
since halIowed to the memory Of my
mother.

A WESTERN BABE.
Rocky Mountain News)

In September, 1860, the first babe saw
the blue Idaho armament and breathed
the crisp mountain atmosphere, under cir
cumstances little less primitive than those
which attended its Saviour'S birth. David
Cartwright and wife were the parents who
were rendered happy by the little fellows
appearance, and the boy was born under
the spreading branches OF a pine tree,
which is yet standing near the centre of
the village. This specimen nugget soon
became the pet-and, it is said, somewhat
demoralized pet-of the rough miners, and,
catching their rowing disposition, he ram
bled around the confines of the camp at
the rather youthful age Of two years,
with the apparent ease of an Arab. He
was called Crock" on account of his won
derful hardness, and often showed his ap-
probation of the honor conferred upon
him. The browning act of Rocks life,
50 far as known, was accomplished just
before he discarded his swaddIing gar
ments, at the age of two and a half.
While on his way to superintend the work.
ing of some extensive gulch diggings one
day he tumbled head foremost into a we'll,
where the bottom could only be found at
a depth Of thirty feet. Upon striking he
only found six inches of water, and didn't
propose to be worried much by such a
fall, so Immediately commenced calling
for help. 1t was his sad fate, however, to
remain there six long hours before be-
ing discovered, but when men finally came
to his rescue, his pent-up wrath knew no
bounds. There was no crying about it
but such a volley of invectives upon the
heads OF the neglectful parents never be-
fore fell from childish lips. Here is a
sample :-"You fink I kin tay in a we'll

OPIUM EATING.

In an article on the effects of opium
eating, which discusses measures pro-
posed in Parliament concerning the re-
venue derived from the production of the
drug in India, the Spectator expresses the
following opinion concerning the effects
of its consumption by the inhabitants of
the Chinese lowlands, which will be novel

arising from opium eating may be exagger-

NATIONAL ANTHEMS.
(Academy.)

A study of the mode of origin of almost,
if not quite, all national airs might
reward the labours of a cynic bent on
proving the hollowness of the so-called
patriotism of nations. The recent
announcement of the death at the Austrian
lyrist, Gabriel Seidl, has given occasion
to a discussion of his claims to be
regarded as the author of the inspiriting
national anthem, "God preserve our
Emperor" {" Colt erhalte unsern Kaiser'O.
That the question should have been raised
at all was awkward, because in regard to
an anthem, which is supposed to express
the collective aspirations of a united and
devoted people, individual authorship
is something that shoulds for obvious
reasons, be ignored, since nothing short
