ANIMAL KINDERGARTENS.

1t will be noticed that all creatures
which have large families, whether
beasts or birds. have less trouble in rear
ing them than those which have only
one or. two young. Little pigs are weeks
ahead of calves in intelligence and the
young partridge, with it's dozen bro
theirs and sisters, is far more teachable
than the young eagle. There seems no
debut that the latter is taught to fly by
its parents. A correspondent informs the
writer that he has watched the old
birds so enga ged, and the young eagles
reluctantly following them to a height.
Specialized education in animals be-
gins 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 summer, then
return to inspect their dam and repair
it for winter. They then cut down few
trees and dividing them into logs, roll
them or tow them to the dam. The kit
tens meantime are put on to what in a
workshop would be called soft job"
They cut all the small branches and
wigs into lengths, and do their share
of light transport service. In the mud
patting and repairing of the dam the
beaver kittens take their share; but
there is little doubt that they do so be-
cause their elders are so engaged. It

The car of Russia has gone into the
anything Of the kind ever seen. The
Russian administration has undertake
en- the control of the manufacture and
sale Of alcoholic beverages. Wine and
beer it does not touch, but all forms of
spirits must be distilled and rectifed
under its supervision, and sold through
it's established agencies. The Russian
government has set about this business
with full appreciation of the magni-
tude of the problem it has attacked. If
the business yields as much as the ex-
listing excise duties, say $150000,000 a
year. the experiment will be deemed a
success, but it is not expected that the
government monopoly will be universal
throughout the empire in less than ten
or fifteen years. The immediate pur-
pose is. first, to provide a guarantee
that only pure spirits are sold, and,
next, that they are sold under condi-
lions least calculated to promote
courage the country drinking shop by
providing that spirits shall be sold
are purchased from the government de-
pot, and to reduce to a minimum in the
towns the places where the sale of
| drink by the glass is the chief business
Russia consumes annually $3.50, 900 hec-
tolitres of alcohol, or about 100000
gallons. This is rather less than the
average consumption of the United
States. 1t is calculated that the con-
sumption may decrease 20 per cent
without affecting the amount Of reve-
nue. which the new system is calculated
to produce.
On the LIST of January, 1895, the sys-
tenn was established in four provinces
of the empire, having a population of
100000 or 10 per cent. of the whole
On the list of July last it was extended
to nine other provinces, with a. popula-
ton of 81 ,0O0, 900; on the LIST of January,
1897, it will be established in another
seven, with 100000 inhabitants, and
on the 1st of January, 1898, it will take

operation over the most populous part
of Russia, and will apply to 100000
people. The price at which liquor shall

Gil, with the approval of the Emperor.

of almost every collar she owned, along
the edge of several of her pretty lace
neck rusche, under each side of the bod
ice point at front and back of her tail
or gown, and all down her adjustable
chiffon fronts Twelve tails will allow
a very pretty garniture for almost any
gown, and if you have the patience to
go in for plenty of loops, you can make
a very good show with less number.

The good people of Vermont are look
ing forward with interest to what
Bradley C. Newell, who has been elect
ed to the legislature from Brattlebor-
ough, will do when the legislature gets
to work. Their interest is caused by
the fact that Mr., Newell has peculiar
influence. Mr.. Newell was a black
smith before he discovered not long ago
that he possessed remarkable psychical
powers, but when he learned that Ver-
monters who imagined they were i'll
could be freed of their delusion by his
passes" over them, and that they
would pay large sums of real money to
the passer, he wisely abandoned the
forge, and has since been professional
healer. 1t is said that at this pleasing
trade Mr.. Newell accumulated $25, 900
in four months, and now that he has
entered the broader field of statesman
ship people are wondering what form
his Influence" will take.
Much can reasonably be expected
from this new Vermont legislator. If
he finds that his influence continues to
be in good working order he will be a
power, good thing for himself and his
friends. But he will have to be very
influential in order to hold his own with
other influential Vermont men who
know how to influence legislators. If
he does what is expected of him he will
make rapid progress in politics.

rather slow this season in settling, but
not so the fashions in regard to trim
ming with peltry All sorts OF dainty
combinations Of fur, laces, chiffon and
velvet airs so pretty and so becoming
that they appear to lightly hoot at the
idea that they represent economy, and
this is an added reason for their popu-

of the day are made with adjustable
collars of lace, fur and tails, and these
collars are reinforced by great soft
chiffon ruffles, and worn as the only
suggestion of over garment when the

THEY Ire EFEICIENT

The experience of the Charleston
(South Carolina) knitting mill takes
out of the domain of argument the long
mooted question in the South as to the
possible efficiency of colored employees
in the cotton mills. AS may be conjec-
tured, the experiment with colored OPP
White girls were at first employed, but,
as they were paid Shy the piece" they
were able to earn little while learning
the business, and finally refused to re-
main longer at the work Then the
colored girls were called in, were paid
the same rate offered to the white girls,
and according to statement by the
mill-owners, are giving perfect salts
faction. This may prove to be mat
ter of considerable consequence to GER
tain industries in the South. The COL
ored girls will, OF course, be as eff
cient in other light mechanical indus
tries as they are in the Charleston knit
ting mill, and with this efficiency estab-
lished wide field of cheap labor is
opened. There are thousands of color
ed girls in the South to whom paying
work is necessity, and to whom hith-
erto almost the only revenue of en-
ployment open was domestic service.
Of course the old race question remains
as troublesome factor, and the en-
ployment Of colored girls side by side
with white girls is not yet to be thought
of.

ney O'Dann as damages due him for
eight years and a half of wrongful i'm

himself out as rightful King of Ireland

which might have led to war between
Germany and France. According to
the London Daily Chronicle, he was at
