nations in history. Before their gates
and within their walls have been
fought the battles of armies unnum-
bered and for thousand years they
have known the sorrow of death and
destruction-and ofttimes the glories
of victory. In the valley Of the stream
whose banks they adorn a new con-
flict is raging today. On the outcome
of this struggle may rest their fate
in the years that are yet unborn, says
the Philadelphia Record.
Cracow and Warsaw, the cities are
one the capital Of Poland's kings
when the nation was in it's prime;
the second the home of that glorious
hero, Kosciusko, who led the people
in their bloody war for independence
after invaders had seized their
land. Through the centuries of
their country's prosperity and the
dark years of grief the beautiful
old towns have nurtured and cherished
the ideals of the Polish people, and
today they house the only remaining
relics Of that once proud nation which
long since ceased to exist.
One of Them Must Suffer.
Shortly after the beginning of the
present European war the car of Rus
STA issued a proclamation, promising
self-government and religious and ra-
cial freedom to the Poles within his
domain in return for their support
in battle. A similar pledge was made
BY Germany to that part of the an
cient kingdom now ruled by her. Aus
tria called on all her Poles for loyal
ty, pointing to the freedom and kind
ness accorded them in the past. Thus
it was that Poles were arrayed against
Poles, the followers of Russia striving
to capture Cracow and the Austro'
German armies aiming at at NNEaaFFssaE v
No matter who is victorious it is GER
tain that one of these cities will
suffer. Should the Russians in the
end hold Cracow, its people will be
made to pay dearly for their defiance
of the car. If the Austro-Germans
triumph, and Warsaw is finally theirs,
she will give no less price for her
opposition to the kaiser.
While Warsaw has been the center
of agitation for the restoration OF
Poland in late years, Cracow was a
thriving city before Warsaw came into
being. 1t is in the older city that
the most sacred memories of the dead
kingdom are found, for castles, church

AS light muslin curtains often catch
fire, it is good plan to put an ounce
of alum into the last water in which
they are rinsed. This will make
them almost fireproof, or if they do

BROOK FISH.
.,y They Do Not Get Carried Away
 Out Into Deep Waters.

If you watch q school of minnows in some stream that has strong and swift current you will see that they always head upstream. The reason Is plain, Only by constantly swim ming against the current can the brook fish remain Il brook fish and not final iy be carried out to sea, as the brook empties into q river, and the river empties into the ocean. But we can not suppose that the brook fish knows that this will happen if it weakly al- lows the stream to carry it along. The young minnow is born with the in stinct to resist the flow of the brook
 The most natural suppositiOn would be that the instinct amounts to ten dency to push against the pressure of the water, but experiments have shown that 1t is not the sense of touch, but the sense of sight that plays the important part. The instinct ot the brook fish is not to swim against the current, but to keep near the same scenery" on the banks or bottom of the stream.
 The experiments that proved this were performed some years ago by Professor F. ?. Lyon. He put some little fish into bottle filled with Wa ter and corked the bottle, which he sides had seaweed upon them. When he moved the bottle along by the wall all the fish crowded to the hinder end of the bottle. Of course there was no current in the bottle. The fish were trying to keep alongside that part of the seaweed covered wall that was op- posite them before the bottle was moved.
 In another experiment the professor reversed the conditions. He made q wooden box with wire netting at each end. Its bottom he covered with sand and its inner sides with seaweed. Then he put the fish into this box and plac- ed 1t in stream. AS long as the box was kept still the fish headed against the current, but as soon as the box was allowed to float away in the stream the fish inside 1t swan in any direction. While the box was still the fish, unless they made head against the stream, were carried along past their landmarks on the sides and bot tom of the box. But when the box foated along with them they carried their landmarks with them, and so they made no opposition to being swept along by the stream.-Youth's Companion.

CONSISTENCY.

The Great Northern railroad has an nounced its intention of enforcing to- tai abstinence among it's employees, Even to take a glass of beer, if detect ed, means dismissal. Because of the protest of the liquor interests against the employees of the road taking any part in local prohibition campaigns, or Tn urging temperance measures, Su- perintendent McKennon has issued a bulletin stating this fact and forbid ding the men to take any part in such movements. The employees are for bidden to drink, yet they are not per mltted to make any effort to have the temptation to drink removed from their home towns.

Left Handed Men Not Defective.

As left handedness is an inherited characteristic, apparently behaving as Mendelian recessive, it Is interesting to note the belief of some investigators that it is one of the stigmata of degen- pracy, says the Journal of Heredity. Bardeieben is quoted in German peri Gdicals as saying:
 That few great men, such as Leonardo da Vinci, were left handed does not neutraiZe the prevalent be- lief in all ages that left handedness implies a substandard subject. The percentage of left handed recruits is but 6.S; of school children somewhat higher. These figures are very decep- tive, however, for of the left handed children who become right handed the percentage is some 26. This, added to the consistently left handed, raises the original percentage of left handed con- siderably."
 After pointing out that the gibbon and orang outang are as 0 rule rig ht handed and the gorilla and chimpa n. zee left handed the speaker decided there was no evidence at all that left handed person was mentally or physically inferior.

STOP THE WASTE.

STOP THE WASTE.
 That prohibition prohibits is shown by the fact that the federal govern ment's income has been reduced this year $2,000,000 Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Peters says; "The revenues from whisky and alcoholic beverages have shrunk considerably over $2,000,000 a year and this un- occasionally is due to the spread of the temperance movement, and we are preparing to see it continue to dimin- ish from this cause"
 The diminution to come will be be- cause of nine states prohibiting liquor in their borders, to take effect next year. A new plan and system of taxa tion will be arranged and there are many sources of revenue that can be made instrumental for government re- sources.
 The history of prohibition shows that it so lessens expenses that the smaller revenue is amply sufficient. Russia's minister of finance testifies that even in war times this Is true, and England's great expert, Joseph Chamberlain, says on this subject: If I could tomorrow destroy the desire for strong drink in the people of Eng land and could prohibit it's use and manufacture. what changes we should see We should see taxes reduced by millions sterling. We should see our jails and warehouses empty. We should sec more lives saved in twelve months than are consumed ill cen. tury of bitter, savage warfare"
 Yet men still ask what will happen to the revenues of the country if liquor is abolished. Experience, with prohibition almost ill it's infancy, al- ready shows that there will be no shortage in revenue when the enor- nous waste and drain of the liquor tradic is once stopped.
