The Youthful Kaiser and Mr.. Firth.


Although Professor Knackfuss is usu-
ally credited with assisting the kaiser
i'll the production of his surprising pic
lures, the German monarch owes his
earliest introduction to the mysteries
of art to an English painter. The first
time the kaiser handled brush was at
Windsor, when Mr.. Firth was painting
the picture of the Prince of Wales mar
riage for the queen. All the royal per-
sonages gave sittings to the artist, and
the kaiser, then a little 4-year- old
prince, spent several mornings in the
room where the picture was being paint
cd. To keep the child quiet, Mr.. Firth
gave him some paints and brushes and
allowed him to dabble ON one of the
unfinished corners of the canvas.
AS the natural result of this very in
judicious proceeding the princes face
was i'll very few minutes covered with
streaks of green, blue and vermilion.
The sight Of his smeared face terrified
his governess, who begged the artist to
remove the cClors and Mr. Firth, arm
ed with rags and turpentine, had nearly
completed his task when the pungent
spirit found its way into a scratch upon
the child's cheek. The future kaiser
screamed with pain, assaulted the emf,
nent painter with his fists, and hid him
self under large table, where he yelled
until he was tired Mr. Firth de-
clares in his "reminiscences" that the
little prince showed a most unforgiving
spirit and revenged himself afterward
by sitting SO badly that the painter
failed altogether to produce satisfac-
tory likeness. London Chronicle.

ChiyairOuS Nir, Fields,

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in her book,
"Chapters From a Life" pays the fol-
lowing tribute to James T. Fields:
"Mr. Fields was man of marked
chivalry of nature, and, at time when
it was not fashionable to help the move
ments for the elevation of women, his
sympathy was distinct, fearless and
faithful. In few instances, we knew,
and he knew, that this fact deprived
him of the possession of certain public
honors which would otherwise have
been offered to him.
''He advocated the political advance
ment of our sex, coeducation and kim
bred movements without any of that
apologize murmur so common among
the half hearted or the timid. His fas-
tidious and cultivated literary taste was
sensitive to the position of women in
letters. He was incapable of that liter
airy snobbishness which undertakes a
woman s work because it is woman's.
A certain publishing enterprise which
threatened to treat of eminent men
came to his notice. He quickly said 4:
'The time has gone by for that! Men
and women! Men and women!

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 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 correspondent informs the
writer that he has watched the old
birds so engaged and the young eagles
reluctantly following them to a height.
Specialized education i'll animals be-
gins late. The beaver kittens training
does not begin until the autumn of tho
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 the winter They then cut down
few trees, and, dividing them into
logs, roll them or tow them to the dam.
The kittens meantime are put OF to
what in IA workshop would be called q
''soft job" They cut all the small
branches and twigs 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
because their elders are so engaged. 1t
is a kindergarten of the best kind, be-
cause 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 offers, and probably also young
water rats have to be taught to go into
the water. According to the observa.
tions of Mr. Hart, the late head keeper
at the ZOO, the young offers 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 naturally when once i'll the
water, and this seems true of all ami
mails. London Spectator.
