Serbian Superstition.

On the eve of St Barbara's day in
Serbia it is a custom to boil a small
portion of every species of grain in a
pot over woodfire. In the morning
the surface of the grain is critically
examined, and should il be uneven it
is thought good omen. The grain is
then thrown in spoonfuls into a neigh
boring stream. and if three wishes are
asked for they are always said to be
granted.

Comfortable Bed for Baby.

Babies are carried on, or rather in,
long pillows by the peasant women in
Hungary. A baby is laid on the pillow,
the end is Tapped over and is usually
long enough to come up to the infant
chin. A string is then tied around the
pillow, holding it close about the
youngster, thus making a snug and
comfortable little bed.

An Ambitious Action.

An Amphibi0us Action.
The actions which led UP to the
capture of Eden were fought in the
fresh clear cold air of December
mornings, but the second affair at
Qurnah where we drove the Turks
from the islands they occupied in the
flooded area above the town, took
place under the same atmospheric
blanket Of sweat and heat that was
stretched over us during the longest
days of the year. On May 81, 1915,
we fought an amphibious action,
which probably has no parallel in mil
itary records. We collected all the
bellUms in Basra, five hundred or
more, and allotted them to one brig
ade. In this strange armored craft,
with iron shields in the center, we
advanced like the Vikings of old
against the enemy's fortified island
The greatest danger was from the
Turkish artillery. A direct hit would
capsize boats whole crew, and the
wounded or stunned might drown be-
fore the floating ambulances could
L
tention was almost entirely taken up
with our ships and our artillery af1Oat
and ashore, which were concentrating
very heavy fire upon the island after
making their position almost unten-
able.
One June 1 the Turks were in full
retreat up the river. This brilliant
little marsh battle was Townshend's
first action in Mesopotamia, and the
beginning of the series of victories
which carried our small British force
up to the Arch of Ctesiphon and with
in eighteen miles of Bagdad.
We suffered more casualties from
heat stroke in the action than from
shot or shell. Nevertheless, the most
memorable thing about it was the en-
durance of our troops. Polling all the
morning through thick rushes, wading
through water and mud waist-deep,
might have been fatal as a mere pleas
ure jaunt in an atmosphere whose un-
aided hostility to the human system
fills cemeteries and keeps doctors and
padres busy. But the lust of battle
is great restOrer, and in victory the
spirit carries along the flesh. 1t is
better to fight in climate like this
than to moralize or think. The men
who evicted the Turks from the Sum-
erian paradise have happier recollec-
tions of it than the draft fresh from
home who passed through on the long
est day Of the year and left their toll
behind
