Nv, year ago, fears of a Jewish

-. pogrom caused the peace
loving inhabitants of se Warsaw to
use every means in their power to
calm. the spirits of the masses, incensed
at some excesses of Jewish hooli-t
gans," for they knew that the Russian
authorities would be glad to see the dis
graceful scenes of Odessa and Kieff re-
peated in the Polish capital. The dan

of a pogrom in Wawsaw. - ,.-,s, zs,
Here, as in other Polish towns, the
Jew has to reckon with two forces
the Polish masses and the Russian au-
thorities. The first may be altogether
ignored except when encouraged by the
second in moments of intense national
excitement, for tho the Pole does not
love the Jew, he is content to live and
let live. But the danger Of the second
is twofold, consisting of the organized
hostility Of the authorities and the per-
sonal hatred of the individual soldier

The military forces in Poland are
made up of men drawn from divers
districts, such as the -steppes of Little
Russia, the Caucasus and the remote
governments beyond the Urals. These
men have little in common with each
other and nothing with the civil popu-
lation they serve among. This has al
ways been so; but now they consider
that they have special grievances
against the Jewish and Polish elements.

They have stood at their posts week

Fought for Her Life. j,
According to DR.. Leblanc, the cor

Miss Taczkow made desperate strug-
gle for her life, as the left side of her
face, extending under the left ear, bore
traces Of having been held forcibly in
the grip Of mans hand, and DR.: Le-
hane is Of the opinion that Hampton
tried to hold Miss Taczkow while he
fired at her.
A new complication in the case de-
veloped when an examination Of Miss
Taczkow's bank book disclosed the
fact that she drew $500 from the. saw
ings bank yesterday. Only a small
amount of money was found on her
body. In Hampton.'s pockets the po-
lice found $40. The relatives of both
families have demanded a rigid investi-

HOW ANIMALS SLEEP.

How do animals sleep? This is question that
writer in Cosmos of Paris tries answer. He
says that those that sleep standing include the
and mule. well the elephant and most of the
other chyderms. Most birds sleep standing ON
leg. Some sleep in groups like the wild pigeons
of North America. Fish have density nearly
that of water that they can rest guilty sand
gravel without apparent effort. Are they asleep?
Probably; though they do not shut their eyes.
Batrachians sleep sitting with the head in the air.
the toad sleeps ny day, in holes under rocks, and
retires under ground for the winter. He burrows
backward his hind feet and the end of his body
ing to dig the hole, while he pushes with his fore
leet. The marsupias generally forced by the
shape of their bodies TO sleep sitting. With the
chimpanzees and other apes the hair the upper
arm and the forearm grows in opposite directions
this serves to protect the animal more effectively
from the rain, when he sleeps crouching in the thick
woods i'm the brush with his arms folded and
pressed against the body.
The whale and other cetaceans sleep the sur
face of the Seals, offers and waruses play
only in stormy weather; in calm weather they seem
to spend their time in sleeping Waruses are often
seen lying the ice close together in the neck
oil one the back of the next, just swine often
do. They do not 90 to sleep until they have placed
a sentry, who awakes the others when he spies
enemy.
Most of the ruminants lie on the flank cames
stretch out with neck extended deer lie near each
other in winter. The horse stretches out his legs;
cats and hares also sometimes stretch themselves.
The carnlvores-the cat family, the bear dog, wolf,
fox etc.-cur up place the head stretched out on
the paws. Several rodents like the rat sleep rolled
up into ball. The hedgehog, which passes the
whole day hidden among stone. or brush, in the
trunk of hollow tree. also rolls up, with its head
and paws under it, belly that it looks like huge
chestnut burr Snakes usually sleep coiled. with the
mouth open. Nevertheless. the viper stretches out
IN the sun for siesta. In alternating vipers sleep
together in the trunE of tree sometimes thirty at
time twined about each other, like a tangled ball of
Irvine.
"Hou sparrows look gloomy this morning" re
marked the tree-toad.
"Why shoudn we?' replied the poor sparrows, in
chorus; "our bills all over dew"

send Thy Son Christ Jesus into the world as little
child, we pray to Thee behalf of all the children in
our homes. Touch them by Thy life-giving Spirit
and lead them early to the Saviour. In the DAYS of
childhood let them follow in the steps of Jesus who
was subject to His parents and who loved supremey
the things OF God. Keep them safe amid the temp

Let not the evil sights and sounds with which the
world Is filled have power to harm them; may they
be so surrounded and defended by heavenly powers
that they shall pass through these things mscathed

to do Gods will Bless the children and voutb If

PENS AND PEN-KNIVES.

Until the year 1920 pens made of the quilts
of geese and other birds. Those pens being soft
soon split and wore out, and new had to be made
very often Most writers in those days kept small
sharp knife to make these pens and these knives soon
came to be called "penknives.' The word "pen" IL.
derived from the Latin word pe,no meaning "a feath-
er." Thus when we speak Of a steel pen we are lit
orally speaking of a steel feather.-The Kings Oion

THE BALLADE OF A BROOM.

BY ROSE MILLS POWERS.
When Susan starts to sweeping,
n cap about her curls,
The broom goes fairly leaping,
The dust-it fairly whirls;
She sounds the ultimatum-
THE playhouse must be clean
And shortly not an atom
OF dirt is to be seen.
When Sally sweeps the playhouse
And plies her little broom,
And tries TO make from chaos
a neat and tidy room,
The dust seems but to scorn her,
1t plays the meanest tricks,
In every crack and corner
So stubbornly it sticks.
Till Susan comes to cheer her
And lends a helping hand,
For there is not a dearer
Big sister in the land;
Then Sally stops her sweeping
And runs away to play,
And that's the end of sweeping
Until another day.
