'hi April 20, 1792, the national assembly of
Frence voted for war with the emperor of
Austria It was a solemn moment, for it
wa.» the opening of a struggle which was to
lav" for thirty years; u struggle iu which
France, single‘handed, would have to con
tend against the armies of Europe. If reason
had been alone consulted, there seemed no
hojte of success.
Strasburg, in the month of April, 1792,
was in a condition typical of most of the
great towns throughout France. Its streets,
its squares, were tilled with people of all ages,
but chiefly with young men. The bells were
tolling, and mothers and sisters were’ hurry
ing to the churches, for the dread boom of
cannon was he«rd at intervals. But the new
hope, the new faith, rendered the youug full
of joy, and fetes and banquets, siuging, em
bracing and tuuidshakiug were tlie order of
the day.

him to try to do this, and the company pres
ent joined in the appeal.
There is more than one account of the cir
cumstances which attended this request, but
a note is preserved in the Bibliotbeque Na
tionale at Paris, written by M. Delabarre, a
friend of Rouget de l'lsle's, which is said to
give the facts as narrated on the poet’» own
authority:
“M. Dietrich appealed to him to compose
both words and music of the song required.
A'l concurred in the request, and about an
hour before midnight he returned home, and
finding his violin 011 his bed he took it up,
Slid, full of the idea of that which he was
requested to do, he began playing upon the
upper strings for a fugue for the air. Be
lieving himself to have found it, he immedi
ately comiMwed the worda Trusting entirely
to memory, and not committing anything to
paper, be went to bed. The next morning,
rising at 6, he fortunately recollected both
music and words. He took them himself to
M. Dietrich, to whom he Submitted it, and
who was not a little astonished at its very
prompt inspiration. He was in liis garden,
and after a cursory perusal of the song be
said: ‘Let us go into the drawing room, that
I may try your air on the piano.’ He was
«ti uck with its beauty, aroused his wife, who
was still in lied, and diratted that each of
the guests of the night liefore should be bid
den to breakfast, as be had something of im
portance to communicate to them. All came,
believing that be bad already received news
jf blow» struck in the wnr from Gens. Luek-
oer and Lafayette. He would not satisfy
their curiosity on the point until they had
breakfasted. Then he sang the hymn heart
ily, and it produced immediate admiration.”
According to Michelet’s version, some one
had said that “Allons” should be the key note
at' the hymn; aud now. as the poet entered
the room, he.came singing the strophe:
Allbus, enfants de la patrie!
The friends listened with ever increasing
emotion; it seemed, both words and music, as
a flash of light from heaven; it expressed, in
a way characteristic of a true inspiration,
the feeling of every heart. France had not
(inly realized her unity, but found the gift of
«neecu.
The song, once sung, passexi l.ke wildfire
from mouth to mouth, and in two months
was all over France. The poet called it
“Hymn of the Army of the Rhine,’’ and he
lent it the same day to Gen. Luckner, who
was at the head of this jxirtion of the French
troope It was immediately printed on a
half sheet in obloug quarto, and those who
xiiild not obtain a copy made one for them-
jelves. The orchestras at the theatres gave
it, and the band of the national guard played
it on the following Sunday.
Who composed the music! Undoubtedly,
as we have said, music and verse were of one
and the same inspiration. Germany has
:la:med the music as taken from a mass by
Holtzmann, but research lias been unable to
hud the trass iu question, or that such a com
poser ever lived. The point is settled by the
tact that in the original impression, dedicated
to Luckner, and published at Strasburg in
17U2, the music is there, and that contem
poraries who knew Rouget de I’lsle say that it
*as he himself who oomjiosed it. It would
be difficult to find a rational ode filled with a
patriotic fervor more intense, but the music
is undoubtedly superior to the words, aud I
venture to say the m<«t inspiring the modern
world possesses.
The Austrian emperor had made three de
mands. Submission to the first two would
have reduced France to a fief of the empire
The third was still more odious, for it meant
a return to the old order of things.
The answer came in this “Hymn of the
Army of the Rhine.”
In June, 1792, it was sung to the volunteer»
departing from Marseilles, and to each was
given a copy. Three day s after the mani
festo was issued, the fatuous “Six hundred,
who knew bow to die,” entered Airis, ginging
what had now beccnxe the hyrnu of the revo
lution. Henceforth it wus called tho “Hymn
Of the Marseillaise," and tbeu simply the
“Marseillaise.” It «lid at once terrible and
effective work; for to its strains the Tuileries
were taken and the French monarchy over
thrown. Valmy and Jemappes followed, and
tlie invasion collapsed. What the ode did in
battle may be seen by a demand of tine of the
Republican generals: “Send me 1,000 men
and a copy of the ‘Marseillaise.’ ”■

Natural Gas aa4 Fat Chickens.
Somewhere in the book of Job the Har-
monites found authority to drill into the
earth for fuel, and, acting upou such author
ity, discovered a reservoir of natural gas
1,800 feet underneath their hearthstones. It
has been piped through the village, and
serves for both fuel and light in every Lome.
Cool, wood and oil are no longer used. At
every street corner are elevated pipes where
flames burn night and day, winter and sum
mer. They are never extinguished. Econ
omy is certainly the best lighted village in
America; one can read fine print in almost
any of the tret‘a at midnight.
“Do you like natural gas, August F we ask.
“Goot! goot! It makes my sine kens fatl"
“Makes your chickens fat!” We can only
look our surprise.
“Ya, »0 fat like peegs. Bugs come at night,
’ big bugs, little bugs, tail sends! Dey fly’ in
de gas blazes, uud drop down. Hens ketch
’em, like die”
August opens his mouth and closes it, with
a mighty smack of the lips. We are thus let
into the mystery of how natural gas can
fatten chickens.—H. D. Mason in American
Magazine.

mates the total loss to France from tbs rav

scourge of the French vineyards first made
its appearance, at the enormous sum of 10,-

This estimate is based upon French official
statistics giving the aggregate area of vine
yards destroyed in the country at about 2.SOO,-
000 acres; and on the assumption that. I d ad
dition to the acreage of vines thus utterly de
stroyed, the extent of vineyards more or less
infected with the phylloxera amounts to
about 500,000 acres; making thus together
3,000,000 acres.

into his heads of cabbage, which be sella

trees loaded down with fruit, nine-tenths
t.f which is cleverly wired on to branches
which never fed and developed it. Or, if
by accident, a hole has been knocked in
t he side of an old porcelain vase, he grinds
the hole into some sort of shape, cleverly
grinds, fits and glues any bit of old brick
i.ilo the opening, and then so accurately
reproduces in every detail and shade of
color the outside decoration and glaze,
that by the application of acid alone can
the fraud be detected. The smallness of
the profit to be derived from the fraud
never deters him.—Chester Holcombs
