morally. Patriotism, intelligence and devotion make them unconquerable.

The spirit of Charles the Hammer, who turned back the Mohammedan tide, is the spirit of France to-day.

France celebrates this day of rejoicing as she has celebrated others, and will celebrate thousands to come-a nation made unconquerable by intelligence and the highest moral and intellectual qualities.

Men pitifully ignorant say to you: "The war has made a new France. The war has been the salvation of France.".

The war has revealed France and her character as they have always been to those that knew neither.

The French have been the great nation of the family-how many Americans know that? How many realize that in France the family tie is closer than in any other country in the world? Obedience of the son to his father and mother lasts as long as the life of the father or mother. The devotion of the father to his children is absolute, and the devotion of all to the State, to glorious France, is and always has been an example to the whole world.

The great Russian scholar, Ostrogorski, author of "Democracy and the organization of political parties," visited this country recently. He spoke of brilliant, earnest young men that France sends to study in foreign countries, and quoted the great English historian Bryce, saying: I am ashamed to say that we have no

κῶς. Ὁ πατριωτισμός, ἡ νοημοσύνη καὶ ἡ ἀφοσίωσίς των καθιστᾷ αὐτοὺς ἀνικήτους.

Τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ Καρόλου Χάμμερ, ὁ ὁποῖος ἀνεχαίτισε τὴν Ὀθωμανικὴν πλημμύραν εἶναι τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς Γαλ λίας σήμερον.

Ἡ Γαλλία ἑορτάζει τὴν ἐπέτειον ταύτην τῆς χαρᾶς, ὅπως ἔχει ἑορτάσει τὰς ἄλλας, καὶ θὰ ἑορτάσῃ χιλιάδας ἐπερχομένας. Εἶναι τὸ ἔθνος, τὸ ὁποῖον κατέστη ἀνίκητον διὰ τῆς νοημοσύνης καὶ διὰ τῶν ὑψίστων ἠθικῶν καὶ πνευματικῶν προτερημάτων του.

Ανθρωποι ἀξιολυπήτως ἀμαθεῖς σας λέγουν ὅτι, ὁ πόλεμος ἔκαμε μίαν νέαν Γαλλίαν. Ο πόλεμος ὑπῆρξεν ἡ σωτηρία τῆς Γαλλίας. Ο πόλεμος ἀπεκάλυψε τὴν Γαλλίαν καὶ τὸν χαρακτῆρά της, ὅπως πάντοτε ὑπῆρξεν εἰς ἐκείνους οἵτινες δὲν ἐγνώριζον οὔτε τὸ ἓν οὔτε τὸ ἄλλο.

Οἱ Γάλλοι ὑπῆρξαν μέγα ἔθνος οἰκογενειακῶς· πόσοι Αμερικανοί γνωρίζουν τοῦτο; πόσοι ἀντιλαμβάνονται ὅτι ἐν Γαλλίᾳ οἱ οἰκογενειακοὶ δεσμοὶ εἶνε στενώτεροι παρὰ εἰς οἱανδήποτε ἄλλην χώραν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ. Ἡ ὑπακοὴ τοῦ υἱοῦ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα καὶ μητέρα διαρκεῖ τόσον, ὅσον καὶ ἡ ζωὴ τοῦ πατρὸς ἢ τῆς μητρός.

Ἡ ἀφοσίωσις τοῦ πατρὸς πρὸς τὰ τέκνα του εἶναι ἀπόλυτος καὶ ἡ ἀφοσίωσις ὅλων πρὸς τὸ κράτος, τὴν ἔνδοξον Γαλλίαν, εἶναι καὶ πάντοτε ὑπῆρξε τὸ παράδειγμα εἰς ὅλον τὸν κόσμον.

Ὁ μέγας Ρῶσσος λόγιος Οστρογκόρσκη, ὁ συγγρα φεὺς τῆς «Δημοκρατίας καὶ τοῦ ὀργανισμοῦ τῶν παλιτικῶν μερίδων» ἐπεσκέφθη τὴν χώραν ταύτην ἐσχάτως καὶ ὡμίλησε περὶ τῶν λαμπρῶν καὶ ἐνθέρμων νέων τοὺς ὁποίους ἡ Γαλλία στέλλει ἵνα σπουδάσουν εἰς ξένας χώ ρας, καὶ ἀνέφερε τον μέγαν Αγγλον ἱστορικὸν Μπράϊς,

young Englishmen like them to send back to France.."

France produces now, as in the past, such men as Pasteur, Hugo, Renan, Taine, Gambetta and Jaures.

France, mother of modern democracy, land of real freedom, real republican government, country in which every human being is devoted to intellectual truth, in which every man, woman and child will sacrifice life to national welfare, may well be honored by all the world.

Honor to France and greater glory to her in the ages to come!

Honor to the nation that has taught the world!

The world wishes for France many thousands of happy returns of this glorious birth day.

BASTILLE

The name given to a French prison, built between 1370 and 1383, originally as a fortress, but later used as a regular prison. It was destroyed by a mob in 1789. It was the seat of the terrible cruelties practised in the early days.

HOW TO LIVE ONE HUNDRED YEARS.

These are Dr. John Sawyer's rules for living one hundred years.

1) Eight hours' sleep. 2) Early to bed, and

εἰπόντα «αἰσχύνομαι νὰ εἴπω ὅτι δὲν ἔχομεν ̓́Αγγλους ὡς αὐτούς, ἵνα τοὺς ἀποστείλωμεν εἰς Γαλλίαν».

Η Γαλλία παράγει τώρα, ὡς καὶ εἰς τὸ παρελθόν, τοιούτους ἄνδρας, ὅπως τὸν Παστέρ, Ουγκώ, Ρενάν, Τέν, Γαμβέττα καὶ Ζωρέ.

Ἡ Γαλλία, ἡ μήτηρ τῆς νέας δημοκρατίας, ἡ χώρα τῆς πραγματικῆς ἐλευθερίας, πραγματικῆς δημοκρατικῆς κυβερνήσεως, ἡ χώρα εἰς τὴν ὁποίαν πᾶσα ἡ ἀνθρωπίνη ὕπαρξις εἶναι ἀφωσιωμένη εἰς διανοητικὴν ἀλήθειαν ἐν τῇ ὁποίᾳ πᾶς ἀνήρ, πᾶσα γυνὴ καὶ πᾶν παιδίον, θὰ θυσιάσῃ τὴν ζωήν του πρὸς τὸ ἐθνικὸν καλόν, τῆς ἁρμό ζει νὰ τιμᾶται ὑφ ̓ ὅλου τοῦ κόσμου.

Τιμὴ εἰς τὴν Γαλλίαν, καὶ μεγαλητέρα δόξα δι' αὐτὴν εἰς τὰς ἐπερχομένας γενεάς.

Τιμὴ εἰς τὸ ἔθνος τὸ ὁποῖον ἐδίδαξε τὸν κόσμον! Ὁ κόσμος εὔχεται εἰς τὴν Γαλλίαν πολλὰς χιλιάδας ἔτη εὐτυχῆ τῆς ἐνδόξου ταύτης επετείου ἑορτῆς.

Η ΒΑΣΤΙΛΗ

«Ἡ Βαστίλη» εἶναι τὸ δοθὲν ὄνομα εἴς τινα Γαλλικὴν φυλακὴν κτισθεῖσαν μεταξὺ τοῦ 1370 καὶ 1383, ἀρχικῶς ὡς φρούριον, ἀλλ' ἔπειτα ἐχρησιμοποιεῖτο ὡς φυλακή. Κατεστράφη ὑπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τὸ 1789. Ἦτο ἡ ἕδρα τρομερῶν βασάνων ἐνασκουμένων κατὰ τοὺς πρώτους ἐκείνους χρόνους.

MAY DAY

The daisies peep from every field,
And violets sweet, their odor yield,
The purple blossom paints the thorn,
And streams reflect the blush of morn.

A!then lads and lasses all be gay,
For this is Nature's holiday.
Let lusty labor drop his flail,
Nor woodman's hook a tree assail:

The ox shall cease his neck to bow,
And clodder yield to rest the plough.
Behold lark in ether float,
While rapture swells the liquid throat;

What warbles he with merry cheer?
Let love and pleasure rule the year.
Ah! then lads and lasses all be gay
For this is Nature's holiday.
