The God Slayer.

From the Charleston Nctcs aud Courier.
A savage stopped on the desert sand.
Where his blistered feet on the sage
brush trod.
And he turned and lifted a threatening
hand
In the face OF his awful god.
His shadow waved In the furnace air.
His eyes were cut by the binding glare.
The suns fierce rays like a hammer
beat
And the far hills danced in the SHIN
mering heat
That smote him like rod,
Till Wild rebellion seized his soul.
And he turned to strive with God
He fitted his arrow without a word,
And long he aimed at the cruel sun.
Then loosed the shaft and the bow
string whirred.
And the awful deed was done.
The arrow shot to the shining mark.
a flash roar. And all was dark.
And the gloom that over the mountains
Fell thick and black on his savage soul.
Night came down on its condor wings,
Night and the ash of the blasted skies,
Night and the end OF all fair things
That ever laughed In lovers eyes
The Indian crept with quaking tread,
Seeking the tents of his tribe again.
That brother and friend might strike
him dead,
For bringing doom on his fellow men.
But the tribesman whispered Let men
be kind
To the wretch that god has stricken
blindl"

These glowing rubies. rich and red.
Were gouts OF blood Ulysses shed,
These moonstones Pcnelopes tears.
Dropped while she spun away the years.
These, sapphires blue were Hclehs eyes.
These turquoises Athenian skies.
This topaz was a ray of sun
That shimmered over Ilion.
These emeralds set In yellow gold
Were waves that high around her rolled
When with her infant at her breast
Fair Danas voyaged in the chest.
From wreathstof silver smoke that hung
Where vulcan's mighty hammer swung
Upon the molten iron came
These opals shot with cloudy flame.
This diamond was a crystal rill
Where Paris stopped TO drink his fll.
And Priam cleansed his spear and shield
Returning from a crimson field.
And she whose eyes are amethysts.
Whose careless coldness still resists
My ardent love---her heart is made
OF this translucent finty Jade.

Quadruplets in Germany.
OF Not Infrequent Occurrence, Sta
.tistical Bureau Reports. Yss.

Berlin correspondence Journal Of American
Medical Association.
AS reference to the reports of the sta
tis.ical bureau will show. there has been
scarcely year during the first two dec
ades of the present century in which
the birth of several groups OF Quadru-
plets has not been recorded, which fur
nishes further evidence of the fertility
of German women.
In 1901, 1906. 1915 and 1919. only one
group OF quadruplets was born each
year. However, in 1908, 1904, 1912
and 1914 there were two groups each
year. and in 1906 and 1909 three groups.
In 1902 there were three groups OF
bankruptcies and one group of quintu-
plets. In 1905, 1910, 1911, 1915 and
1917 there were four groups Of quadru-
plets each year and in 1913 there were
six such groups. The German people
were also richly blessed with triplets
during these two decades. The maxi
mum number OF >tripets were born in
1904 (29l) and the minimum number
In 1918 DID.
The year 1904 has also the largest
number OF twin births to its credit ;
namely, 26,15l OUT OF 09.3oo nuitipie
births Individual children). While the
frequency of multiple births during the
last twenty years bears, in the main,
the usual ratio to the total number of
births, the year 1919 constitutes an ex-
ception. since for that year the proper
tion Of multiple births to the total num-
Der of births was ass whereas in
previous years the proportion was In
almost every instance under ESQ per
cent.
In 1919 there were 1888 groups
among the multiple births and 1856
children were thus born. There were
in that year 17.144 pairs OF twins born
in 5.513 instances both twins were boys
in 6,561 cases there was boy and
| girl. and in 5,070 instances the twins
were girls. There were 1ss groups OF
triplets that year ; in fifty-four instances
all three tripiets were boys. in forty-one
cases there were two boys and a girl
| in fifty-two cases one boy and two girls,
and in forty-one instances all three trip
let's were girls. The quadruplets born
In 1919 were all girls.

World Peace.
A Solution Of Present Difficulties OF
fered by International Law.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: One of
the vital questions at the root OF world
affairs to-day Is whether a nearer ap-
proach to truth in government is attain
able from the standpoint of the national
state consciousness or whether that
which is termed the consciousness of
man is the safest adviser "as to when
principle shall take the form OF COM
mand."
In the body of agreements. positive
and customary, between states called
international law there Is evidence OF a
wider consciousness than that OF any
single state. and in It's application to
world affairs 1t constitutes IAN ensign
for the nations" q postulate OF higher
world order. constraining upon civilized
nations.
The necessity, imnaanent and pressing
of the hour, is how to heal the ethic,
religious. political and economic cleav-
ages of world consciousness and crys-
tallize in universal accord the varying
standards of Individual national states
OF mind. How may we give enlarged
obligation to International law without
abridgment of national sovereignty or
menace to individual liberty?
A readiness to admit that political
authority is constrained by that which
has the universal consent of all nations,
and that treaties declaratory of this
general law shall serve to interpret and
define it, and not the state In the
exercise of an unlimited discretion, and
that it contemplates the inalienable AMI
natural rights of man as peculiarly
within it's protection, must precede any
real progress in establishing for all
states paramount law. The world
must meet its problems upon a common
platform, wherein. is uniformity of rule.
and this law, not the individual state
consciousness. must prove the revelator
OF peace on earth.
1t is difficult. IL not impossible, we
are told, to awaken any real interest in
foreign affairs; the public mind is dazed
by the stupendous events of the last
decade, by the enormity of the prob
lens 1t faces. Yet never was there an
hour in the history OF Western cIviliza-
tion when the need Of clear thinking
and careful analysis of world problems
was i"oio i"siseeh'. Inc Darr1erS OF
western Europe are threatened, are
trembling under the crushing weight OF
communism. If they fall America alone
will have to bear the frightful cost to
civilization.
We, must take heed of world con.
seriousness and cleave to the root of the
problem, the necessity OF extending to
all peoples the equitable obligation OF
international law. and foreclosing that
spirit Of individualism in states which
knows no law but that of self-interest.
