Otmkhtt Lichten That Gloom.
A few days? ago some one sent up to
the local room of Hie Herald a sing
faff canary in a pretty prison of brass
wire*, witn water, seed, cuttlefish aU
ccraplete, and directed that it be raf?
fed off for the benefit of the poor
fund. It was to be supposed that 3
bird in such strands quarters would
be frightened out of its voice, but not
so this little songster. He made him?
self at home at once and proceeded to
sll the room with melody. A young
leporter sat watching uie pert little
stranger and listening to his liquid
Botes, when it occurred to him that he
hada great chance to write a pretty
article upon the way in which the
song of a happy bird "could lighten up
r any gioom. He sharpened his pencil
first, ??s????? some of his sentimental
thoughts when the point broke oif
twice, and then started. "How sweet
is thc innocent melody of the warbling
bini." lie wrote, when a messenger
boy fell through tho doorr sp?let a
lot of rain water from his rubber coat
onto tb? reporters shoes, and said:
"Sign fer dis." He signed for the tele?
gram and then starten to complete his
sentence, but befoi-e he could think of
a word a man came in and asked if he
could have an old pair of pants. Then
another entered with a "notice of our
next part j-the Octopus Pleasure
club, you know," and asked him to
'"'senda reporter up." A man who said
be had "read The Herald every day
for thirty-four years" dropped ia on
the reporters train of thought and
Wanted to leave a communication on
the drainage question. He signed it
''Vox Pupuli." By this time the re
porter had written one line and an

Stanley's 3Iaehine Gua.
The prints of the English speaking j
world nave been full of stories about
tho machine gun. which Henry M.
Stanley carried with him in his last
desperate venture in Africa. And vet
it B an old story. It occurs to tais
paper to properly tell it: The weapon
So much talked about is a Maxim gun.
It was invented by a citizen of these
United States. Ho was poor aird
'sought encouragement from our gov?
ernment He got none. Ile went to
England, where they saw its merits at
erice and made him rich. So his gun
is under control of the British govern?
ment. At tho time when he com?
menced his iuvestigatiens the three
great machine guns of the world were
Sie Gatling, the Hotchkiss and the
Nordenhoff-the first two American,
the last English. There was little dif?
ference in their merits, save that the
Hotchkiss was lighter and made for
aeady transportation. Maxim, an
American boy, said to himself, tliere
?re faults about these machine guns:
2. Thc turning of tho crank prevents
anything like an aim. 2. Often the
cartridges hang lire a little, but the
crank turns on, and they explode at
the wrong time. 3. Most of all, tho
rapid firing heats the gun so that it is
useless ano even dangerous in a few
seconds. Tl ie Maxim gun overcame
fill these defects. It is automatic. It
needs no crauk. Pull the trigger once
and it continues to load and lire itself
so long as the supply of cartridges
lasts. The power of "the recoil" does
all tl*e wor'r, even to shooting a jet of
water along the barre! to keep it cook
lt fires TOO shots in a mitrate, and ali
that the operator has to do is to aim iL
This is the Stanley gun. Von cannot
seo it in tito United Slates now, for it
is owned by tlic government of Great
Britain.-Oinciminti Ki:<ju ircr.
Elevated Railroad Paruty>ts.
Residents along the lines cf t!>e ele?
vated railroads and JXTSOHS whose
business has brought them on or near
these lines have developed a singular
periodicity in intervals of speech >?s
?ie result of enforced habit duringa
considerable portion of their waiting
existence. lu voluntarily they erase
speaking, even in tin) middle of a sen?
tence, at the cml of each accurately
measured tenn of four minutes.
Should not their attention be culled tr
the habit by the remark of others,
they will remain silent for a few sec?
onds-thc length of tune an elevated
train ordinarily takes in passing-and
then go on with theirspecch. unaware
that there has been ativ break in it.
During tb?>se few seconds there sterns
to have been entire cessation of
mental action. The interruption is

Poverty and Lo Fe.
Without love, poverty were light
enough to bear. What does it matter
for one's self? It is tho love that gives
the awful sting to want, and makes its
cruel fingers grip the throat as trever
vise or grappiiog-hook took hold, and
torture with a keener zest than fiends
their victims I I/ove and Poverty ! It
is the corubiuatio^ that devils invented
to make a b,eft on earth.
Let me ?*? you a case. In adorne
where coialort is~-gor wealth-a mother
sits, watching by night and day the
awful hand of Death reach nearer,
eloser to her precious babe, and nothing
that skill or science eau suggest will
stay the hand or heal thc aching heart ;
and yet there is comfort in the thought
tfeat all was done that love and wealth,
and skill could do, and that it was na?
ture's way. Bat take from her the com?
fort of that thought. She watches with
the same poor, breaking heart, but with
the knowledge, now, to keep her com
paoy, that science might, ah ! coiOd,
push back the end, could even cure her
babe if but the means to pay for skill
and change and wholesome food and
air were hers Is that no added pangf-j
Is poverty^-no curse to her 2-T-A eursi<?
the deeper for her depth ol love ? Thc
rich know naught of this. It gives to
life its wildest agony, to love its deep
est hurt.
j But let me tell you of another case.
A stone's-throw from this hall, where
pretty things are said week after week
-and kindly meant, I know-of pov?
erty and love-of the blessedness of
these-there is a living illustration,
worth more than all the theories ever
spun, to tell you what 'realities of life'
must be where love is great and pov?
erty holds sway. Picture, with me,
the torture "and despair of a refined and
cultured woman who watches hour by
hour the long mouths through, and sees
the creeping feet of mental wreck and
physical decay, and knows the mortal
need of care and calm for him who is
the whole cf life to her, and^for the
want of that whieb others waste and
hold as dross he must work on and on,
hasteuing each day the eud 7te does not
see, which shall deprive him of all of
life except the power for ill ... .
She will be worse than widowed and
alone, for ever by her side sits Want,
for him, tearing at every chord of heart
and soul-cot for herself-but for that
dearer ene, wrecked in the prime of
life and left a clod endowed only with
strength for cruel wrong, ?hose hand
would sheath a knife in her dea. heart
and laugh with maniac glee at his mad
deeds. She saw the end. She kcew
long months ago what was to be, if he
must toil and strain his nerve and brain
for need of that wbish goes from knave
to knave, and hoards itself within ca?
thedral walls, where wise men meet to
teach the poor contentment with their
lot! She knew he must not know;
the knowledge of the shadow must be
kept from his dear brain until the very
end, by smiles, and cheer, and merry
jest from her. Who dare teil her that
riches are a curse ? and prate of 'dross'
and cali on heaven to witness that its
loss is only gain of joy and harbinger
of higher, holier things? Who dare
call her as witness for the bliss of pov?
erty and love ?
.With love f Ah, there is where the
iron can burn and scar and open every
wound afresh each day, make poverty a
curse, a blight, a scourge, a vulture,
irou-beaked, with claws of buming
I steel, that leave no nerve untouched, no
drop of blood unshed.
'With lovel' 'Tis there the hand of
Poverty eau deal the deadliest blows,
and'show, as nowhere else on earth, the
value of that slandered, hoarded thing
called wealth.
.The root of evil'-'poverty with
love !' Hypocrisy, iu purple velvet
robed, behind stained g'ass, with strains
of music failing on its ears, with table
spread in banquet-ball below, bethought
itself to argue thus to those itself had
robbed ; while, thoughtless of its meau
? ing and its birib, the echo of its lying,
j treacherous words comes from the pallid
lips of many a wretch whose life has
been a failure and an agony because of
that which he himself extols. A lie
once born contains a thousand lies, ano
holds at bay the struggling, feeble
I truth, if but that lie be fathered by a
j priest and mothered by a throne-as
j this one icasi 'The root of evil7 is the
spring of jay. Decry it those who will,
i And those who do not love, perchance,
! may laugh at all its need eau mean ;
i but to thc loving, suffering p;>or bring
I no more cant, and cease to voice the
hollow words of ignorance and hypoc?
risy. It is too cruel, and its deadly
breath has long enough polluted syin
j pathy and frozen up the springs of
healthy thought, while sheathing ven?
omed fangs iii breaking hearts. Re?

UNEARNED INCREMENTS.
j income of Artists and Doctors Effected by
tho Higgling of thc Market.
j Whatever a painter makes hy paint
i ing, from ene point of view, it is ob
! vious that he earns. So much skilled
j labor exchanges for so much money.
! Now let us suppose that a portrait
I painter, vvhcu his skill has come-to
? maturity, discovers, by what Adam
cSnaith calls thc higgling of the market,
.Hhnt'thc value of one cf his portraits is
?200, and this state of things continues
for ten years, during each of which his
j time has been fully occupied. Ile has
I painted, wc will say. one portrait a
j month, and his annual income lias
j been ?2,400 a year. Kow, every one
! would admit, indeed, no one could
deny, that the painter earned by his
skill just what his skill was worth.
Thc world has known what he could
produce, and thc judgment of the
world, which in these cases is the ul?
timate court of appeal, has settled the
value of the product
This applies, I say, to tlic first ten
veal's during which the world has
known him. At the end of this pe?
riod, however, certain changes begin
to.develop themselves. A new art
critic has arisen, who has educated
the public tasto; a considerable num?
ber of immense fortunes have been
made, the possessors of which have all
of them artistic tastes; and ali of them
want to have their portraits painted.
The consequence is that the painter,
instead Of having as formerly twelve
commissions a year, has now sixty.
He cannot execute aX. Ho cannot ex?
ecute more than twelve Thc conse?
quence is he has to raise his price, and
instead of receiving ?200 for a
portrait he finds that he literally has
a thousand thrust upon him. Thus
his income lises from ?2,400 a year to
?12,000. There is an increment of
?9,600. What has been the cause of
this increment? Has tho painter been
the causo of it? How can that bo? lie
does nothing more than ho used to do.
He is abie to do nothing more than ho
used to do. He works no harder and no
longer. He has no more skill. And
yet there is an increment in his in?
come of ?0,000.
A similar phenomenon, and OTK?
equally familiar, shows itself in the I
case of doctois. A doctor at some 1
spa has a certain recognized skill in 1
dealing with a certain class of com- j
plaints. His fcc is a, guinea, and his
time is fully occupied. As years go '
! on, however, an increasing number j
j of rich people overeat themselves, and .
como to tho waters over which this :
doctor presides. Perhaps a king is
among them, whom he happens to
cure of a stomach ache. lie is at once
beset by patients from every quarter of
Europe, and his foo consequently
j doubles itself. This increment is no
? more due to the doctor than a similar
increment in the painter's case is due
to the painter. To emote Mill's words,
they have neither iJ them ''worked"
any harder they, have neither of them
"risked," they have neither of them
''economized." The increment hi
their incomes has come to them, "as it
were, in their sleep." It has come to
thom in tho natural course of things
-that is to say, in the doctors case,
from an increasing number of rich
men gorging, in the painter's case
from an increasing number of rich
men affecting a taste for art, in both
from people in general being geese
enough to follow the fashion.-The
National Review.
