The following exquisite lines were writer

on facts occurring IN q district school in tn

A district school one summer day,
Mid Berkshire hill, not far away,
Was humming with its wented noise
OF threescore mingled girls and boys,
SOME few upon thtir tasks intent,
But more on iurtiye mischief bent.

And to the awful presence came
a great, green, bashful simpleton,

With smile suppressed and birch upraise,
The teacher faltered: I'm amazed
That you, my biggest pupil, should
Be guilty Of an act SO rude
Before the whole set school. to boot,
What evil genius put you to it?'

Birds and Human Nature.

What is that legend of Mrs. Piatt's
poem about the bird in the brain =?
Birds are perhaps the most human Of
creatures, and should not he surprised
if told we all carry more or less of them
in our hearts and brains. | have seen
the hawk looking out of the human
face many time, and | think have
seen the eagle; | credit those who say
they have seen the owl. Are not the
buzzards and unclean birds terribly sug-
gestive? The song-birds were surely all
brooded and Matched in the human
heart. They are typical of its highest
aspirations, and nearly the whole gamut
of human passions and emotion is cX-
pressed more or less fully in their varied
songs. Among our own birds, there is
the song of the hermit-thrush for de
voutnesS and religious serenity, that of
the Wood-thrush for the musing, melO-
dious thoughts of twilight the song
spawow's for simple faith and trust, the
bobolInk's for hilarity and glee, .hc
moumlng-dove'S for hopeless sorrow.
the vireo's for all-day and everyday
COntcntment, and the nocturn OF the
mocking-bird for love. Then there are
the plaintiye singers, the soaring,
ecstatic singers, the confident singers,
the gushing and voluble singers, and
the halt-voiced, inarticulate singers
The note of the pewec is human sigh,
the piping of the chikadee umspeakable
tenderness and fidelity. There is pride
in the song of the tanager and vanity
in that of the cat-bird There is some
thing distinctly human about the robin;
his is the note of boyhood | have
thoughts that follow the migrating fowls
northward and southwark, and that go
with the sea-birds into the desert of the
ocean, lonely and tircless as they. |
sympathize with the watchful crow
perched yonder on that tree, or walking
about the fields. | hurry outdoors
when hear the clarion of the wild
gandcr; his oomrade in my heart SENDS
back the call.-John Burroughs; Scribner

TreacLery Of Wild Animals.

According to the best trainers no villa
beast can ever be trusted, not even tha
so-called noble lion. They are all
treacherous. the females generally being
more deceitful and dangerous than the
male. The llonesS is more difficult n
manage than the lion, the tigress than
tiger. klndneos-that is anything but
ordinary kindness and civility-is .lbso.

1t has occasionally some little effect upon
a lion, but really very seldom, the lion
really being Il surly and treacherous
brute, all lion stories and talk to the con.
trary Notwithstanding. But with a tiger
and especially with tigress, all affec.
ton is literally wasted. A tigress is a.
likely to eat you up after years Of atten.
ton on her as after six days if she only
fancies she is safe in so doing. In ali

lion tanner. Keep your eve on them ali
the tlme-not that your eve alone will
have any effect on them. All these
stories IN books about cycling animals
into submission and the power of the
human eye over the brute creation are
sheer fabrications. And as a rule the
whip is the most efficacious of instru.
ments in training or subduing a wild
beast 1t can be used quickly and at
once, and it hurts every time. So the
beasts learn to dread it even more than
a gun-morc than anything save red
hot bar Of iron or fire. Il depend
more on my whip when l go in among
my tigers, said the reporters inform
ant, than upon myself. If were to
drop''my whip the beasts would fancy
had lost all my power, and wouid
pounce first upon the whip and then
upon me. | would consider the droD-
ping of my whip while III the cage with
my animals as almost n fatal calamity.
TO train a wild animal You must first
make his or her acquaintance from the
outside, doing chores around the cage
and getting the animals acquainted with
your face, and, above all, with your
voice. They remember voices more
acutely than they do faces; they are
governed more by sound than by sight.
Once | had Il beast in my cage that had
not seen me in n red suit that | wear

Reading.

In these days, all men and women
read something, but the trouble Is that
Ivy reading in Il single vein, which SO
strongly appeals to their individual
tastes and personal idiosyncrasies that
it j, not study 1t all, they lose their
power to study anything else. The
rule for successful and profitable read
ing would, in the light Of these facts,
seem to be to read only what one does
not like 10 read That reading which
costs no effort and necessarily dissi-
patcs the power of study, is that which
we should indulge in only torrecreation.
while that which we know to be impor-
tant in itself and in its bearings upon
broad knowledge and culture, should
most engage our time and attention.
The trouble Is, not that We do not read
enough. hut that we read SO much of
