JJ1CH bendzle pochevnlowy Jesus Chrystus" ( Blessed be the Lord Jesus Christ). "Na wlekl wlekow" (for ages and ages). Thus one Polish peus ant greets another, ns his nncestors have done for centuries, writes Nevln O. Winter In the Christian Herald. This Quaint salutation Is heard everywhere to the Polish section of Austria, Ger many and Itussln, the peasant always removing his hut In a truly gracious way as he thus greets a noble or a stranger. It is one of the surface In dications of tho deep religious Instinct that seems to be Inborn with the Slavic races, and Hint Is found among both Russians and Poles. Devotion to the church of their choice readies a de gree for which It Is difficult to find analogies in the now world. Tho ovents now taking plnco In Eu rope may result lu a realignment of Poland, if not In a re-estubllshment of her natlonul sovereignty. Independ ence In a limited degree has been prom ised by both Russia and Gerinuny. Whatever may be the outcome of tho titanic struggle now taking place, the allegiance of at least a purt of the Poles Is very likely to lie transferred to another overlord If the dream of another Poland, so long cherished In tho Polish breast, fall of realization. Our sympathies must go out to these downtrodden poopte, who are so proud of their own Ideals. It Is only In the Austrian province of Gnllcla, where bii much lighting has taken plnce, that tho Poles have been allowed to breathe freely, speak their own languuge with out four, and openly educate their chil dren In their beloved tongue. Polish peasants do not shlnn Intellectually, since thor'o has been little opportunity to develop the Intellect. But, for that matter, what peusant does? The most of thorn are not even able to rend or write. Superior to Russian Brother. As a consequence, tho Polish peas ant Impresses one aa being rather slow In both thought and action. But he Is not so slow as the Russian peasant, and he has raoro Independence of) thought nnd action than his Slavic brother. This quality sometimes ap proaches unrullness, n characteristic that, at tlmos, has led Poles Into con flict with authorities In the United States, as well as with their own cler ical authorities. It bus also resulted In the formation of a number of Inde pendent Polish Catholic churches on this sldo of the Atlantic. Tho Polish peasant Is essentially n tiller of tho soli. This tins been his occupation during all the preceding generations, and It still continues to be tho height of his ambition. Ills talk Is of agriculture, and most of his Joys are connocted with the different sen- sons. Most of his foud Is raised In his own garden or Uelds. Potatoes are a grent staple, and cub'iinges are al most ns Important. Beans, corn and beets add to the larder. Cabbages are much used In making the thick soups so well liked, ami a soup is also niudo of red beels. In summer his costume is Simple, consisting only of thin shirt and trouserB; but In win ter a padded sheepskin cout, with the wool turned Inside, Is added. To the bure feet lire added coarse boots, and to tho hare bead a hat. "Do the women do the work of sec tion bunds here?" I asked of a fellow traveler as our train was approaching Lemberg, which bus been (be olijec tlvo of contending forces so frequently Women Inured to Hard Labor. "Yes," he answered, "and they do it exceedingly well." It was only another evidence that tho lot of the Polish woman Is especially hard. This is no tlcenble throughout nil Hie Polish prov. luces of tho three dominant countries They do more than their full share of the family work. The Polish woman of tlie lower clusses has not yet emerged from the physical mid mental slavery of former ages. Sometimes one will see more women In (be Held (bun Bird Life In Alaska. Persons with a fancy for ornithol ogy may be interested In the fact that AhiBka has few birds In winter aside from grouse and the innumerable flocks of ptnrmlgan to be found throughout the territory. These lat ter are numerous nt nil seasons, but are to be found only at high altitudes In summer. Geese are to be seen by the million from lute June to October, but seldom inter. Ducks are fully as plentiful, but with the coming of full they also migrate South. For some reason an occasional duck winters In Alaska, but a goose never. Most of tho birds which nest north of the circle spend the rest of the year In South America, some, like tlie Alaska night hawk, going so fur ns tlie Argentine, while the tern Is not satlstlcd until he roaches the Antarctic regions. This means that most Alaskan birds travel annually, coming nnd going, from 1 1 -000 to 20,000 miles, uot counting the distance covered In side trips for food and other purposes while on the way. From the middle of May until the first tat July tho birds return to Alaska In countless myriads, those which travel and a kaleidoscopic effect of color Is then visible. Blue, green, yellow, gold, and sliver are mingled in various combinations. They pin up the over- skirt, which lenves a bright petticoat exposed to view. At Cracow I have seen these women carry mortar for the musons and plas terers, where new buildings were be ing erected. They were spading up the flower-beds in the parks, und were doing the work as well as the masculine overseer could have done It himself. They can hung pa per or paint u house. Along tho romis women would be seen carrying heuvy bundles, or pushing loaded wheelbarrows. Everywhere tney are doing work that Involves considerable physical strength. Hence It Is that Many of these Polish Women look hug gard and old even before they have missed the third decade of life. This Is more true than ever nt the present time, for the men are in tne armies, frennentlv flirhtinir each other, becauso they cunnot help tliemselves. It is no wonder that a girl naturully attractive Hntiii prows old nnd hnggnrd. Hard work with little pleasure, und the care of it family, which Is generally large, must inevitably leave their maris ue- fore many years. Picturesque Marriage Ceremonies. Tho mo Mi a up (lav Is the one bright spot in tlie girl's life, since It Is made the occasion for festivities, nnd the ceremony Itself is very picturesque. There Is music by the peasant rausl m.na who nlnv their liveliest tunes. The whole village turns out on such occasions. Joy and Jollity reign su premo for the duy. The old Polish costumes nave dis appeared in Russia, but distinctive costumes are still worn. Red or yel low, with alternating green stripes, Is most common. The men wear baggy trousers made of the same material as the skirts of the women. In one dis trict west of Warsaw, every ncasant seemed to wenr tills costume. Some were wnrklne In tho fields, others walking or driving along tho highway. Tim dill, heo looked like little grand fathers or grandmothers, being dressed In exactly the same styles as tneir olilors. The neasunts dwell in the quaint villages which aro scattered everywhere throughout Poland, me vllhiires of Gullcla are especially In teresting on Sunduys and holidays, when the nntlonai costumes are donned. The cottages arc generally tnude of stone or boards plastered over, and are then covered with n coat or whitewash. The straw roof Is fro- nianrlv crowned with ercen-erowlnc moss which adds to Its picturesque ap pearance, if uot to its neuitniuiuess. Water Is druwu from the wells by a long pole balanced near the center. These wells have a decided old-world appearance. The interior of the cot tages Is usually divided into two rooms. In one room the entire family live, eat ami sleep : In the other, In more or less harmonious contentment, dwell the cows, pigs, chickens and geese. No household would be complete without a number of geese. Around the cot tages a number of children are sure to bo seen playing. A dozen or 20 or HO of such cottages, each separated only by a .small yard, make up a vil lage. If tln rc is a marriageable dangle tee to the house, the Hotel of the door and the window surroundings are ornav mented with little Irregular bunds, which Is a notice to uiurrlugeubl young men. We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable. Let us live well. eat well, digest well, worn wen, sieep well, and look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy It is If one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, Instead, feel as fresh as a dalBy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the Internal poisonous stag nant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In It to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, Bweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully In vigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of people wno are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but Is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of inslde-bathlng before break fast. Misunderstood. She Does Dr. Cutter treat many people?

Require Care In Their Preparation and Baking, but Are Well Worth the Time and Trouble Devoted to Them. There are two tests to put to break fast breads. One Is put by the cook, and that has to do with the time and trouble required In their preparation. The other has to do with flavor and texture, and that comes from those who eat them. Always let breakfast breads cool slightly on a cloth or wire rack before sending to the table. They will then be more digestible and more easily han dled than If sent to the table literally piping hot. Heat all muffin tins before putting In the muffin mixture. The muffins rise more thoroughly and more quickly when put into hot tins. Remember, too, that most muffins need a quick oven. Popovers need a quick oven, but they also need long and thorough cook ing, and some popover cooks let them stay in the oven 40 minutes. Popovers. Popovers, robbers caves or wheat puffs, as they are variously called, are not difficult to make. The Ingredients needed are two unbeaten eggs, two cupfuls of milk and two cup fuls of flour, with a quarter of a tea spoonful of salt. Beat all thoroughly together until not a lump remains and then pour the mixture into very hot muffin pans, well greased, filling them about half full. Cook thoroughly, un til one broken open Is hollow Inside and shows a firm wall or crust. Emergency Biscuit. Make a good baking powder biscuit dough and drop It, by spoonfuls, Into well-greased muf fin pans. These biscuits nre crusty lit tie things, especially delicious If you hove the continental habit of serving honey or Jam at breakfast. A good rule for the dough is this : Mix six even tenspoonf uls of baking powder and one of salt with three cupfuls of flour. Sift all together three times and then chop in, with a silver knife, six table spoonfuls of butter, lard or some other shortening agent. Mix together quick ly with a knife and add a cupful of cold water. Mix lightly and then put In the greased pans from a spoon. Illce Muffins Rice muffins are made of one cupful of boiled rice, two eggs two cupfuls of flour, a tablespoonful of melted butter, three cupfuls of milk and salt to taste. Mix the eggs, butter and milk, sift flour and salt and add It and the rice to the wet Ingredients. Bake the muffins quickly. Rye Gems. Rye Is not in as general use as corn and wheat and graham flour. Rye gems and rye bread nre nourishing and economical and rye gems made according to the following rule are a good addition to any break fast: Beat three eggs, three cupfuls of milk, a tablespoonful of sugar arid the same amount of butter, with three cupfuls of rye flour. ' The secret of making these muffins lies In beating them hard and baking them quickly. Dines at Home. Brlggs "Whittler says he has to get away from his family once a week."

As a weapon of offense and terror, the Zeppelin did not fulfill all the pre dictions of early war days, when the "great raid over London that was to blow Britain's capital from its base was hourly expected. The national hopes were founded on the Kaiser's characterization of the Count as "the greatest German in the twentieth cen tury." But if the military officials and the populace were disappointed in the Zeppelin as an exponent 01 frlEhtfulness." their inventor was un doubtedly aware of the limitation of hiB airships. He had designed the great machines not for "participation in actual warfare, but for observa tions of hostile fleets and armies." And as a scouting instrument, the Zeppelin has done valuable service. The mighty British fleet in the North sea has not been without its apprehen sions of the danger from the air, and in the Jutland battle, the Zeppelins, hovering over the scene of the fight ing, were in a position to discover the approach of the English dreadnought fleet and give timely warning to tne endangered German cruisers.
