The Daily Telegraph's Che Foo cor

completely unprotected and under the
rays of the searchlight the Russian
machine guns swept them down In

with fanatical bravery" the corre-
epondent adds, "leaping over the
bodies of their dead comrades. Then
the Russians, emboldened by their sue

with machine guns. 1t was the first
time the Japanese had been able to
entice the Russian from their shelters
and they worked terrible havoc among
them. The scene next morning was
appalling. The hillside was strewn
with mingled Russian and Japanese
bodies, some of them gripped with
ghastly realism. Boulders were trick

TIE WREN BUSH.
An old Custom sim Observed In
ireland at Christmas.


Among the many odd customs still
obscr, Ell in Ireland at Christmas few
are more curious than the practice or
carrying about the wren bush" on st.
Stephens day. and antiquaries are puz-
zled to explain why the poor little
king of all birds should be put to
death on the festival of the first mar
tyr.
The most probable explanation is
that the wren was sacred TO the Druids
and was used by them in divination
and other pagan rites at the festival OF
the winter solstice, which almost coin
cided with Christmas, and consequent
~ the clergy urged their converts to
destroy the birds which were associat-
ed with such unholy rites, just as st.
Patrick's relentless destruction Of the
images Of serpents, used in the ancient
pagan worship of Ireland, gave rise to
the legend that he
Gave the snakes and toads twist
And banished them all forever!
This seems the more likely, because
dream" the old Irish name for wren"
also means "a Druid" and old folk still
call Jenny" the Druid bird and say
that she has the gift Of prophecy and
that those who can interpret her tWit-
terings as she hOvers about house or
flies from bush to bush can read the
future In the library of Trinity col
lege, Dublin, there is curious docu-
ment describing how to interpret the
notes Of the wren.-Maud E. Sargent

HE ROUND ROBIN.
Its Origin. II Is said, Can BE Traced
Back to Ancient Greece.

According TO British naval docu-
ments OF the years 1888 and 1859, 1t
was the custom of seamen OF that day
20 use the round robin as a safe and
effective means OF bringing their griev-
ances before the authorities. A similar
practice existed in France, but the al
legged origin Of the term round robin"
from rond ruban, circular band used
In the French petitions, is probably
fallacious
The term existed in England long be-
fore, with wholly different meaning.
Thus In Devonshire a round robin"
was q small round pancake, and the
sacramento wafer was called ''round
robin" by LAtimer 1886.
Dr. limbs says that the idea of the
round robin has been traced back to
Greek conspiracy against the tyranny
OF the Pisistratidae The Romans had
a similar custom of writing the names
OF their guests or friends in a circle
when anxious not to indicate any indi-
vidual preferences.-Londo Standard.
