and shortly h" 5.tss aes when An1fetg. u.s.
nnti-Pope in opposition to him, had
entered Romc and there fortified his
rule. he invested his kin with the dig
nifty of princes.
Now. legend tells that when Count
Albrecht Cor Albert) III, the real
founder Of the House Of Habsburg, re-
turned to Rome from crusade he fell
in love with the Pope's niece, the for
mer Jewess, and took her for his wife
with the Pope's consent. The official
genealogical table of the Habsburgs
designates Albrecht's wife as Roman
woman and relative Of Pope, but does
not mention anything concerning her
descent. 1t seems, therefore, very prob
able that she was Pierleoni. Count
Albrccht III, also called the Rich, died
in 1199. He was succeeded by his son,
Rudolph II, Count of Habsburg, whose
son, Albrecht " (died 124O), was the
father Of the later Emperor Rudolph.
From emperor to emperor, or, rather,
from King Rudolph, descend all the
Habsburg-Lorrainers of the present day.
AS all the ruling houses ara. through
intermarriage with the Habsburg- -Lor-
rainers, intimately related, it is obvious
that through them Jewish blood has
come into the veins Of all European
dynasties.

1918 or 1919?

Is the year 1918 completed with De-
cember 81 or begun with January /? In
other words, is 1913 or 1919 begun
with the present January L?
AS in geography and navigation,
longitude is measured from some arbi-
trary line. such as the meridian
through Greenwich, so in historical
chronology dates are fixed by giving
their distance from some arbitrary
point of time, usually chosen because
OF some remarkable occurrence that
slgnalled it. Such fixed point, or
epoch, forms the beginning of an era.
The Christian era starts at the birth
OF Christ, on January /, and although
the exact period of the event is con-
Jectural, historical chronology uses
this unit, among others, to measure
the distance in point of time and to
fix dates. From the above it will be
seen that December 81. 1917, means
that counting from the supposed birth
of Christ 1917 years were fully COM
pleted years, and with the present Jan
uary l was begun the 1918th year,
which, in its turn, will be completed
with the following December 81

against fatigue and sleep and able to

which strikes one on the ground; then

Queries and
Answers
Hapsburgs' Jewish Blood

E. S.-Can you inform me through
your "Questions and Answers" column
whether there is any truth in the story
that the House Of Hapsburg has q
strain of jewish blood and that
through them many of the ruling
houses of Europe have the same herl-
tagc? l have been told that the Jewish
stra;n comes through the family of one
of the Popes, who was a Jew by birth,
but later was Christianizod.
The assumption that the Habsburgs
count Jews among their ancestors has
partly an historical and partly a
legendary foundation. In the early
Middle Ages there lived in Rome the
Jewish family of Pierleoni, who had
accumulated great wealth A son OF
this family, Pietro Pierleoni, embraced
the Christian religion and became a
monk in the famous Monastery of St.
Benedict, at Clugny. His great learn
ing. cleverness and neophytic zeal
gained him great influence, and it did
not take very long before he was made
abbot and superior Of the monastery
in Clugny, and he thus became the
head Of the Benedictine monasteries,
Of tho Benedictines, played an i'm
portant Part IN the events of that time.
Little wonder, therefore, that the
Abbot Petrus Leonis, who in the mean
time had been raised to the rank Of
Cardinal and as papal legate in France
and England also represented the in
tercsts OF Pope Honorius II. was elect
ed Pope of the Roman Church. AS
such he assumed the name Of Ana
cle.us II.
This happened in the year 1870, and
for twcnty-four years the former Jew
occupied the chair of st. Peter. The
abbot's family, too. had in the mean
time become converted to Catholicism,

q HE LISTENED, her elbow on the
table, her chin in her hands.
While he spoke he gazed at her
with eager eyes-the eyes Of amorous
youth. He was telling her the story of
his life-of his brief memories of boy
hood, of college, the ending of his
studies; the war, his ardent desire to
fight, his mothers fears and, finally,
his dream Of fighting realized.
She interrupted him:
"How old are you?"
Eighteen years."
She smiled and laid her finger on the
narrow ribbon which he wore on his
coat.
What is this?"
"That is the emblem Of those wound
ed in battle"
Have you been wounded?"
"Yes," he answered, without attach
ing any Importance to 1t.
Moved by the thought Of this mere
boy stricken down. lying in ditch, she
murmured. with an air Of almost ma
ternal interest and concern:
"Poor little fellow! And when were
you wounded?"
"At the Marne."
"Was it a serious wound"

his breast:

BY Mrs. Lenore r. Ranus

The play instinct is Unborn in all
children the world over; it Is natures
own method for developing the senses,
the muscles and all bodily growth.
Play is even more than this; it is the
outlet Of expression of the child's in
ner life. Many faults as we'll as Writ
ues may be discovered while watching
children at play. Perhaps a mother
will find that her child is selfish or
rrde, and it is easy to discover gen.
erous disposition and a good temper in
the course of play hour.
Games are the expression of the play
spirit and toys are the instruments
necessary for the expression of this ac-
tivity Of child life. AS farmer needs
garden tools to do his work, so child
needs toys for his play-or work, which
play really is to him. And if toys are
not provided ready made he will invent
them in order to be able to express
his play spirit and put it into action.
Health Is Important
All play depends upon the physical
condition of the child. A normal.
healthy child plays all the time,
is easily interested in his toys and
as he grows older invents games with
them. If child plays little, cannot
easily be interested in his toys, will
not play alone and is cross. look first
to his physical condition, then begin
course Of training. or directed play.
Start with the suggestion, "Why not
biuld a high steeple?" or MAKE
mother train of cars with your
blocks" Often, especially in the case
of an only child, if mother can enter
into the play-spirit and play hide
and-seek. or march and sing. or even
build with the blocks, it is such a treat
and often real help in promoting a
readiness to play alone when mother
must go back to her work.
Almost every child wants to help
mother sweep, dust. make beds, wipe
the silver or run errands. Make play

out of the work, and yet let the little
one feel he is really doing something.
With tiny babes too little even to
walk, a mother can make play out
Of work. Have the high chair or the
bassinette or carriage in the room
whero you are working and keep baby
busy with toys. For instance, if you
are working in the kitchen. let. the
baby have a big spoon, clothespin,
tin covers or anything new and safe,
but always keep those things for the
kitchen. II he is allowed to have them
all the time they soon lose their in
tercst and he becomes restless and un-
happy.
Making a Little Surprise.
A sense of newness, even with old
toys, makes them desirable to child
Children need change and variety
because their power Of concentration
is not fully developed.
This is the plan l use with success
with my own little girl. Her box of
dominoes, her nest of blocks and her
box Of building blocks composed Of

closet out OF sight l also keep some

to the closet for a surprise. If give
her the blocks, it is always with a
suggestion for making something with
them. She now comes to me and asks
for "a s'prise, muvver." When she
tires Of the blocks l have her pick
them all up, ready to put away, before
she can have another "surprise."
Sometimes for days at a time she
does not ask for surprise, and then
when / do bring out the dominoes, for
instance, she is as delighted as if they
were brand new. Her dolls separate
in groups. II she has four I put away
two, and at the end of week l bring
out these two and put away the two

the trees tossed, the wind bent the

Strictly speaking, Yiddish is not Ian

jargon used by Judeo-German COM
munities dwelling chiefly in Germany

coming from those countries to the
United States. Yiddish owes its exist
ence to the persecution to which the
