REV. EDWARD M. WARDIN.
RLOOMSBURG. PA.

The Evening Express of Carthage,
Missouri, Of December 18th contained
the following sketch of Rev. Edward
M. Wardin, whose death was an
nounced last week:
"Rev. Edward M. Wardin died at
his home in this city last night, Dec
ember IL, 1896, at o:3o o'clock after
an illness of fifteen days, caused by
neuralgia, which was later complicated
by kidney troubles.
Mr.. Wardin was born near Light
street, Pa, March 81, 1920, and was
therefore 81 years, 8 months and IL
days old. On March 6, 1856, he was
married to Mary E. Brugler, who with
ais only child, Halford B. survive
him. During the greater part of his
life, which was spent in Pennsylvania,
he was actively connected with va
rious business enterprises, in all of
which he was successful, but for the
benefit of his sons health, and feeling
that he could better himself by moving
tOa newer country, came west in 1877
with several friends with view of
selecting a place to which to move his
home. The entire party was SO pleased
with Carthage and the surrounding
country that all settled here in the
spring of 1873. He bought large
farm near the town on the north and
after farming few years built his
residence on Central avenue in this
city and has lived there happily ever
since.
His peculiar devotion, after his
family, centered in the Methodist
church, he being a constant and con-
sistent worker in that church, which
he joined in early manhood. AS a
token of appreciation of his services
to that organization, without solicita-
tion on his part, iu 1871 his church
conferred license to him to preach the
gospel; in 1876 he was ordained a
deacon, and in 1880 he was ordained
an elder in that church. His valua-
BILE services to the church in this city
were recognized by his appointment
In 1883 as assistant PASTOR which
charge, as assistant, he faithfully filed
for several years.
Mr.. Wardin was respected by the
whole community snd was endeared
IN many ways to his friends and COM
panions. His associates in church
work here speak in especial commend
alton of his labors in the religious field.
He was always more than willing to
work for the uPbuildiug of the church
and the cause OF christianity and was
agreat help and reliance to the vari-
Gus pastors who have occupied the
Methodist prlpit.n

ANIMAL KINDERGARTENs.

Specialized Education in the Animal
Kingdom Begins Rather Late.
It will be noticed that all creatures
which have large families. whether beasts
or birds, have less trouble in rearing them
than those which have only one or two
young. Little pigs are weeks ahead OF
calves in intelligence and the young part
ridge, with Its dozen brothers and sisters,
is far more teachable than the young eagle.
There seems no doubt that the latter is
taught to fly by its parents. a correspond
ent informs the writer that ne has watched
the old birds so engaged, and the young
eagles reluctantly following them to
height.
Specialized education in animals begins
late. The beaver Kittens training does
not begin until the autumn of the year in
which it was born. The old beavers,
which have moved up tributary streams
into the woods, or roamed to the larger
lakes during the summer, then return TO
inspect the dam and repair 1t for the
winter. TLey then cut down few trees
and, dividing them into logs, roll them or
tow them TO the dam. The kittens mean
time are put on to what in a workshop
would be called a ''soft job" They cut
all the small branches and twigs into
lengths and do their share of light trans
pairing of the dam the beaver kittens take
their share, but there is little doubt that
they do so because their elders are so en-
gagged.
1t is kindergarten OF the best kind,
because mud-patting and stick-cutting
are great Joy and solace to old beavers
as well as young ones, and so instruction,
pleasure and business are all combined.
Young otters, and probably also young
water-rats. have to be taught to go into
the water. According to the observations
of Mr.. Hart, the late head keeper at the
Zoo, the young otters born there did not
enter the water for weeks, and even then
their mother had to mind" them and
fetch them out when she thought they
had had enough of it. They swim natur-
ally when once in the water, and this
seems true of all animals, though in the
early autumn of this year young re-
triever, bred on a dry and waterless dis
trict in the Downs was found to be unable
to swim. A stick was thrown into the
Thames for it to fetch. 1t plunged in, but
soon sank, and, though rescued, was al
most nsensible.-London Spectator.
The San Francisco call., 1896-12-25

which are supported by this society were
made happy with Christmas tree and
presents of clothing, candy, fruit and
other things that delight the little toddler.
The little ones all wore artistic paper caps,
made by their teachers, and presented a
pretty sight as they played their games
and went through with their Characteristic
exercises.
The schools supported by this society,
which is maintained entirely by voluntary
contributions, are the Silver Star at Paci-
fic and Sansome streets, Miss wainwright
principal; the Adler, Second and Folsom
streets, Miss Manning, and the Mail Dock,
foot of Brannan street, Miss Schuetze.
Since the organization of the society, in
1878, the best people of the City have
given their time and money to its support
For entertainments for is benefit the
homes of the members have been thrown
open and the fashionable world has given
freely and literally. The good work of
the society has also been recognized at
times by bequests from public-spirited
citizens. The late Robert Johnson left
from his estate $1,000, and the estate of
Isaac Hecht $500. Some of the leading
Jewish families have been faithful work
Adolph Sutro being mem bers of the adj
visory beard, together with Mark Sheldon.
The list of the executive committee and
board of directors exhibits the non-sec-
tartan character os the society.
Miss Kate Smith, now known to the
literary world as Kate Douglas Wiggin,
was the first teacher of the first school,
which was founded through the efforts of
Profes or Felix Adler, then on a visit to
