Why some birds should thus hop
after their prey and others run is a
curious problem, observes writer in
pearson's Weekly A solution may be
found in the different life habits of
the hoppers and runners and in the
different habits of their prey.
70 hop on lawn after worms may
be the best way to disturb and pouncc
upon them. But il would be better to
run after low-nying winged insects

Walk softly in this tortured brick-hlled
street:
The shadowy corners of each shattered
stair
Once echoed TO the fall OF eager feet
A home was there.
Grim ruin that the laughing sunbeams
mock,
Where the once furtive rat plays his bold
part.
The spllntered door hangs swaying on
its lock,
So like broken heart.
BE piuful before each house forlorn.
Some woman's all was shattered by these
walls
Where now, upon the wind Of every
morn,
The voice OF martyrs calls.
In yonder church she knelt upon the
lloor.
The raised Host set her gentle heart
astir;
And FALLEN bells that swung above the
door
Sang their clear notes to her
BE tender to the pain which LEFT us free.
our English soil felt not the invading
tread
But war-swept France, from Alsnce to
the sea,
