Chiyalrous MI. Fields,

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in her book,
"Chapters From 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 know, 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 kin
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 g.
A certain publishing enterprise which
threatened to treat of eminent. men
came to his notice. He quickly said Z:

and womenl Men and womenp

Animal Kindergartens.

It 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 twoyoung. 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 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 the winter. They then cut down
a few trees, and, dividing them into
logs, roll them or tow them to the dam.
The kittens meantime are put on to
what in workshop would be called a
"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. It
is kindergarten of the best kind, be-
lcause 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 in the
water, and this seems true Of all ami
mails. London Spectator.

A FIGHT WITH ALYN>.

Jim Berry Had q Desperate Struggle With
Savage Bobcat.
The ugliest appearing animal that
ever walked log, killed rabbit or
fought trap is the lynx, which is just
as ugly as it looks ten months in the
year and somewhat uglier during the
other two. Not only will the lynx fight
anything that walks the woods, but it
will also tackle visitor from the clear
iDgs, be he man or dog or half grown
calf, if the occasion offers
Jim Berry was hunting up in Maine,
about 40 miles north of Greenville,
when he and his friend suddenly came
upon the carcass of a caribou which q
bear was eating. The bear made itself
scarce, much to Jim's regret, as he
wanted to kill the bear. Without say
ing anything to his friend he left camp
the next day and started for the carcass,
intending to watch it, in the hope that
the bear would return. He waited and
watched until about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, when he began to think of
returning to camp. A soft football back
in the woods-the crafty step of some
wild animal-just then sounded in his
ears. Pretty soon the bear was, chewing
the caribou meat, and Jim could see it
plainly. He leveled his buckshot gun
and pulled the trigger, when the wab-
bling muzzle was pointed in what he
thought was the right direction. The
beast went down, and Jim started for it.
Then he stopped, with his mouth open.
The beast had leaped to his feet and
jumped sideways. with its back up.
Jim knew the yell, and he. also recog-
nized the bumped back. 1t was wound
ed lynx spelling for fight. Not having
time to level his gun to shoot, the man
dubbed it, and the blow stunned the
cat little, but the beast got in rake
on the mans leg and tore his trousers
and hide too. Another frantic sweep Of
the gun barrel laid the beast fat, and
then revolver bullet killed the animal.
The buokshot had torn the top of the
lynx's head-enough to make it angry.

A Strange Nursery.

On the slopes of the Himalayas the
native women have a most curious plan
of disposing of their babies and keeping
them quiet while they are engaged at
work in the fields during the greater
part of the day. Before the mothers set
out to work in the morning they wrap
their babies in swaddling bands, leav-
ing nothing but their little faces ex-
posed. Then the babies are taken and
laid under ledge of rock from which
water is falling. and by means of a
bamboo the water is made to drip gen.
tly on each baby's forehead. The effect
OF the dripping water is most soothing.
and soon the little ones are all asleep
and remain motionless till taken up by
their mothers on their return from their
work, when they are carried off to be
unwrapped, dried and fed.

NOVEL Entertainment

It Was Provided by st. Louis Man For
uis Wife's Feminine Fricnds.
A wealthy St. Louisan living in tic
vicinity Of Lafayette park provided y
novel form. of entertainment for his
wife's guests one evening, says Tie ST..
Louis Republic.
The hostess was extremely anxious to
provide something original. for the eli-
fication Of score of guests whom she
intended to call together for an informal
evening. Her husband promised to pro-
vide such novelty and took boon COM
panion into his confidence to that end.
They had not exchanged ideas 80 con-
secutive seconds before they hit upon
the device Of converting the elegant
parlors into gambling house pro tenn.
A faro bank, a roulette wheel and po-
ker and keno lay outs were easily pro.
durable, as the conferees well knew,
and that part Of the programme was
soon settled The friend suggested as a
pretty epilogue the introduction of a
pair of bulldogs, guaranteed to reduce
each other to mince meat in three
rounds. This rather staggered the ambi-
tious host, but his friend is ward poll
tician, and with the eloquence he always
keeps on draft soon convinced the other
that the evening would be failure
without those bulldogs.
The evening arrived, and with it came
the guests. The ladies were prettily
shocked at sight of the gambling para
phernalia, but became accustomed to it
in an astonishingly short time and shar-
ed in the games with becoming vim. It
was when the yellow bulldogs made
their unexpected entrance that the hor-
ror of the fair guests proved genuine.
The beasts yelped and growled ard
showed other peculiarly canine synp-
toms of "spoiling for fight.'' Tkere-
upon the ladies sought refuge on the pi-
ano and card tables and chairs, con-
Quoting their retreat as from mouse.
Notwithstanding excited feminine
protestations, the friend who had been
consulted as to novelty in, entertain
ment unleashed the dogs. Itwas an ex-
citing climax to an @original" evening.
The dogs Toasted for five minutes on
choice bits of each others anatomy.
The ladies screamed and the friend who
was consulted exulted in the success OF
his novelty. When he was quite con-
vinced-and it took considerable time
to convince him-that the ladies' desire
for gore had been fully gratified, he
doused the dogs into convenient tub

COACHING.

The musical trumpot's blast
The sound OF laughter gays
Then word to start is passed.
And the tallyho rolls away.
Out of the city's street,
Far from the noisy throng,
Into the country sweet
It rumbles gayly along
Over the cool green hills
And down through the wooded dales,
fragrant with daffodils
And vocal with calling quails.
Happy each youthful face,
Merry the mirthful wits.
And, To- in the footman's place
Trumpeter Cupid sits!

Growth Of English.

The growth of the English language
during the present century has been
without parallel in the history Of any
tongue. The commercial associate rs of
the English and American people'with
all the nations of the earth have brought
contributions from every CLINE to enrich
our mother tongue, and the result is
that there are words in common use in
the English language from every known

The wonderful Marching Ant.

Paul Du Chaillu tells of the doings
Of queer African species of ant, which
the natives call the bashikonay, which
marches through the forests in regular
line. This line usually averages about
two inches in breadth and is often sew
eral miles long, with not a break in the
column. "All along the line, +" says the
great traveller. "large and fierce looking
ants act as officers, keeping the singular
army in order.
