compact down. It is therefore not diff
cult to arrive at the conclusion that the
beaver is aquatic, and that his princi-
pal occupation is gnawing. The young
are produced in April or May, and in
four or five weeks are able to follow
their mother in the water. The aver
age weight of the adult individual is
about forty pounds; their winter food
consists of bark and the roots of
aquatic plants, especially the yellow
pond-lily. In summer, however, they
go some distance from the water in
search of berries, leaves, etc. This in
offensive creature has suffered a long
and severe persecution on account of
his very valuable fur and castoreum.
The latter Ga substance secreted in two
sacs near the root of the taiD has been
known since very ancient times for its
medicinal properties; it is chiefly used
now to bait beaver traps.
Two centuries ago these animals were
SO numerous in what now constitutes
the state of New York that from 5000
to 10000 skins were annually taken in
that section alone. The trade in beaver
skins was one of the leading induce
ments to the early French and English
colonists to settle in this country. The
home of the beaver was once in nearly
all the wooded districts of the northern
hemisphere; at the present time it is
entirely exterminated in many places,
and is scarce in the United States east
of the Mississippi river Much has been
told of the wonderful building instinct
of the beaver. Working only in the
night, it is not easy to know the exact
manner in winch this little engineer
proceeds, but in the morning the
amount of work accomplished speaks
for the diligence of this builder of
dams, canals and houses, or lodges" as
their habitations are termed. The
canals afford an easier mode of trans
portation than dragging the wood
overland, and are dug through clear
ings back to the timber; they are some
times many feet in length, and may be
made on two or three different levels.

The Vanity Of Wealth.

a symposium composed of the opin-
ions of nine millionalres OF the country
on the question whether wealth brings
happiness is published in the New Y York
World, and gives the answer unani-
raously in the negative. Russell Sage,
Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller,
George NJ. Pullman, j. w. Macltay,
Russell Alger, Gov. Morton, Jay Cooke
and Austin Corbin all agree that the
rich man is more oppressed by the
cares of his possessions than made hap
py by the pleasures he can buy. Mr..
Carnegie is the one man of the nine
who is able to construct a theory that
accords with his practice; for while he
regards his wealth as the measure of
industrial achievement he declares that
it is only by using the accumulations
of his fortune for the benefit of others
that the rich man can get any pleasure
out of them for himself. Yet the other
eight, who tell piteous stories of the
care, worry and annoyance of the rich
man, will continue to pursue wealth to
the end of their lives-some of them by
means which, if the result were to Sc.
cure single dollars instead of hundreds
of thousands, would be called by very
uncomplinentary Anglo-Saxon terms.
The sincerity of their opinion can be
tried by the single and unerring test,
that, if they wish to get rid of their
unhappincss, they can very easily make
over their wealth to public purposes.
They recognize the emptiness of wealth
in theory, but in practice, like too largo
share of the world, they make it the
sumIum bonum at which all existence
is aimed. But we must credit all the
millionaire contemners of riches with
at least theoretic recognition of the
truth 1t is undoubtedly the fact that
pursuit of wealth, simply for wealth's
sake, is one of the most sordid and
empty vanities of the life which, we
are assured by the preacher, is all
vanity.

kiPLING's ANGEL uNAwAREs.


Rudyard Kipling tells the following
interesting story of his early days lie
was poor and at the same time wanted
to see California. lie also desired some
profitable employment. He found him
self in Lower California penniless.
Illuminating on his misfortunes he
came across a fellow sufferer. This
second victim to the unltindness of fate
was past middle age, i'll dressed and un-
couth.
Apart from a fellow feeling they took
to each other. They decided to tramp
to San Francisco, where Kipling had
possible financial resources. They got
there somehow. Kipling found his
companion taciturn and cold. One day
the silent one fell into muddy creek.
On landing he began to take off his
trousers-a very wretched, sagged pair.
To Kipling's surprise second pair,
thin, well cut and comparatively new,
were disclosed beneath the old ones.
Kipling came TO the conclusion that he
had stolen them, and began to regret
having agreed to travel with him.
Arrived at San Francisco, Kipling
said: "Whcre are you going?" "To the
wharf" was the reply. I'm go with
you to the wharf" said Kipling. At
the wharf there was q neat boat with
half a dozen sailors ''fooling about"
The moment they saw Kipling's com
panion in his ragged coat and slouch
hat they sprang to their feet and sa-
luted him. Get in," he said. Kipling
got in. "Shove Off" The captain of
the boat showed off. The men bent
their backs to the oars. In few min
utes they were alongside a spiclt-and
span yacht, trim and tight as a Yankee
schooner carrying an admiral's flag.
Kipling's friend was a well-l1nown
millionaire, who enjoys a walking tour
and delights to study mankind from a
tramp's point of view,-Philadelph

Mr.. Platt favors dry Sunday. Many
assertions may be made to the con-
trary, but there is no getting over the
fact. AS for the numerous associations
which are founded for the purpose of
drinking liquor on the Sabbath and go
under the name of clubs, Mr.. Platt is in
favor of special legislation to wipe them
out. Indeed, the gentleman from Tioga

uor question and seems to have been
converted to it largely from motives of
policy. He feels convinced that the
people of the metropolis want the Sun.

wealth and influence, are known to
have some object of the sort in view.
Bishop Porter himself is very averse to
the idea and the rumors in circulation
have led to the formation of re-
dictionary movement. This may result
in the complete defeat of the elaborate
scheme for revolution in American
Episcopalianism. The situation has
grown rather tense, and well-known
New York banker, to whom the high
churchmen are indebted for financial
support, has been a special object of
attack. He is accused of being an OBJ
struction to the rays OF the light of
grace, and somewhat virulent pamph-
let dealing with this aspect of the stu
alton is in circulation. The wealthy
Episcopalians are collectively opposed
to the poorer ones in this matter. Hence
the change that the church Is to be
plutocrised. This is new crime in
church affairs and the proceedings of
the house of bishops at their coming
session will be eagerly watched.

An Additional Virtue.

Each day adds some new virtues to
the long list of those already credited
to the pneumatic. The latest of these
is that the wheels of bicycle being
encircled by a band of India rubber
and dry air-which is perfect insu-
lator-the rider is completely insulated
from the earth and consequently inn
pervious to the attacks of the electric
fluid. Thus, day by day it becomes
more and more fact that life without
a pneumatic tire is neither safe nor
worth having. Anyone who suffers
from nervousness during thunder
shower has now only to go into barn
or the cellar and seat himself upon the
saddle of a pneumatic-tired bicycle to
be perfectly safe from lightning stroke.
As the chances of man ON a bicycle
being struck by lightning have been
carefully calculated to be about one in
a billion, the Wheel adds there will, of
course, be some pessimists who will
deny that this newly-discovered virtue
of the pneumatic as lightning insu-
lator amounts to very much.

CoRBETT POINTER. rior to the lat

altered the betting in his favor There
is large fortune wagered in New
York on the result. Corbett's fist in
particular is an object of general
study. That ample specimen of anat-
omy is developing amazingly and
seems destined to ill the place in his
tory so long allotted to Mr.. John l..
Sullivan right on the limbs of Her
cules. Mr.. Corbett playfully alludes
to his fist as the finger of scorn, and
deems it much more powerful than that
metaphorical digit. No one seems to
reckon any longer with the possibility
that the fight may not come off. AT
any rate it will be the most even con-
test since Corbett became champion. 1t
is noteworthy that the fight attracts as
much attention in the fashionable club
of Fifth avenue as it does on the Bow
cry. Many men of social position have
put up snug sums on the outcome.

THE Philadelphia Inquirer makes a
good point when it says: In these days
OF fads in woman's dress and the praise
which is being lavished upon them, it
is pleasant to have to record a real and
an honorable victory for the plain, old
fashioned skirt. 1t was only a few
days ago that young woman, who
was walking along a railroad, saw that
distractions had lodged on the tracks
from a burning freight house adjoin
ing. She knew that passenger train
was almost due, and so she went lit
tie way ahead, took off her skirt and
tagged the train. Now what could she
have done if she had been new woman
clad in boomers?

On farm near Lewiston, Me-, is a
curious pet and u strange adoption.
One day one of the dogs around the
farm brought in baby mink, its eyes
hardly open; a helpless creature, SO in
offensive that the dog would not harm
it. At that time the family cat was
nursing a litter of kittens, and the lit
tie girl of the house put the mink in
with her kittens. The cat made few
objections, but finally accepted the ad-
dition to her family and cared for the
stranger. When the mink and kittens
all had their eyes open, they formed an
exceedingly happy family. The mink
played as gleefully as the rest, and the
mother cat was just as anxious for its
safety as for any of her offspring.

Anlmnl Humbuss are Numerous.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame, in order
to avoid going to military exercise.
A chimpanAee had been fed on cake
when sick; after his recovery he often
feigned coughing in order to procure
dainties. The cuckoo, as is well
known, lays its eggs in another birds
nest, and, to make the deception surer,
it takes away one of the other birdie
eggs. Animals are conscious of their
deceit, as shown by the fact that they
try to act secretly and noiselcssly; they
show sense of guilt if detected; they
take precautions in advance to avoid
discovery in some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after exploits, as if they feared punish
ment. A naturalist describes how his
monkey committed theft. While he
pretended to sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation and stopped every
time his master moved or seemed on
the point of awakening.

WONDER. Satolll, ana the
New York priesthood in particular may
be said to be deeply concerned, as the
announcements to be made relate to
them particularly. For the first time
in many months the position of the
papal delegate with reference to his re-
call or his elevation to the cardinalato
will be made known. The Eucharistic
league is most important organiza-
tion of clericals. The University of
Washington is specially under its pat
ronage. 1t is to the league, indeed,
that the university is indebted for its
superb equipment in the matter of sci
entiic educational pharaphernalia.
They include wonderful array of as
Economical instruments, one so power
ful, indeed, that even the animals on
the moon, if there be any, could be de-
tected by its aid. The fact that the
Encharistic league meets at the uni
versity augurs well for the continue
tion of priestly interests in the institu-
tion. 1t is understood that n wealthy
New York Catholic is soon to make n
princely donation to the university.

TT is a ridiculous commentary on the
movement of the bicycle bloomers to
reflect that skirts are worn by all who
swim, while SO many who ride wheels
provided with skirt guards insist that
they must wear boomers. Plenty of
women bieyclers who do not wear
boomers at these beaches declare that
they would wear them if they could be
certain that they would not have to
get of their wheels. They do not
want to be seen on foot in trousers.
The sight of those women who walk
and lounge about in bloomers, off their
wheels, does more to prevent the gen
eral adoption of boomers for bicycle
riding than anything else, And here
is another grain for reflection the
nicer the place the fewer the bloomers.
