GERMAN DEGENERACY.

WORKS OF ART DEFILED IN POLAND. "Things that were done by German soldiers in Suvalki, things in mj" own house which I myseli saw, cannot be told. Things were defiled in a way u hicli it would seem nothing but degeneracy to explain." Tho foregoing is portion of a crushing reply by the Marquise de Gozdawa. a Polish refugee in New York, to allegations against the Russians made by Judgo Ni : ppert, who, tilled with conceit by the condescension of the Kaiser, 13 now vilifying Russia. The marquiso says : " Every holy image in the church* ,es, every cottage ikon with the image of tlui Virgin or saint, was defiled. Wlien I returned to my own house J found untellable th'.ngs had been done with everything fliat was finest and most delicate. A beautiful library, with old manuscripts, was deliberately ruiood."

A THOUGHT FOK THE WEEK. A man's real disposition usually plays itself most strikingly in small matters: like light which gleams the n.ore brightly when through nariow chinks. —Samuel bullies.
