German Education.

The Germans are the most thoroughly
educated people in the world. What
they know they know we'll.
A fellow traveller had taken his de-
gree of B. A. in the University of Penn
sylvania and gone to that of Berlin,
where he spent three years. Suisse
quently travelling in Switzerland, he
met a young German whose range and
accuracy of knowledge weee simply be-
yond that of any man of the same age
he had ever met. In many walks and
talks the German had absolutely pumped
the American dry, while his own store
of knowledge had only been touched.

At the Queen Mine.

A reporter visited the Queen mine
this week, and found the work of de-
velopment progressing in a healthy
manner. Superintendent Nelson was
quite well satisfied with the prospect,
and told the scribe that the mine had
never before looked so well as now.
The main drift on the 800 level is being
pushed south through two feet of high
grade ore. the men having already pass
ed through more thar 30 feet of the
chute, and opened slopes.
This chute which was recently en-
countered promises to hold out for a
long distance, and in richness equals
any ore yet taken from the Queen. The
drift is running southwark following the
ore, and is headed directly for the shaft
100 feet away, but it vii! most probably
swing to the west and miss the shaft a
few feet. The north drift is being
worked with II few inches of pay ore in
sight, and the management expects it tc
open into a strong ore body.
There are % men on the pay roll al
present, divided between night and day
shifts. They shipped a car of ore Sat
urday and will ship another today. Ev
erybody is glad to note the success o
the Queen under the new regime.

N to that 1t comes back from its vari-
Gus excursions by day.
Customers that come III to buy birds
and birdcages and bird seed and one
thing and another never fail to notice
the titmouse. They may not notice an
other bird there individually, but their
attention is sure to be attracted by this
one as it darts about, free among so
many captives, and they are likely to
smile at it, they are so pleased with it.
And sometimes children, looking in at
the windows of the bird store, come in
20 tell the clerk that one of the birds
has got loose.
When it has nothing else to do, the
titmouse sits OF its gas pipe perch and
perks its head this way and that and
looks about. Sometimes it whets its
beak on the gas pipe. Every now and
then it dashes off somewhere. If it
wants a drink, it perches IN the rim of

and stock for them are sold here as we'll
as birds-no doubt to the great surprise
Of the goldfishes and certainly to that
of the human beholders, who wonder
that it doesn't fall in, it has to bend
over so far to reach the water. But it
gets it, and when it has taken it's fill it
flashes back to it's perch Oh the pipe in
the window.
The titmouse catches spiders and 9th
or insects, and it feeds in the larger
cages when it will. 1t goes in and out
of them between the bars with perfect
ease. 1t is a very little bird, even with
its plunlage in its natural form. With
its feathers pressed against its sides il
can get through a very narrow space
between the bars of a parrots cage, for
examplc-with ease. There are in the
window a number of parrots cages in q
row. The titmouse almost flies through
these cages, stopping in each perhaps tc
eat of the parrots food, but they never
modest it. Parrots that would bite al
the finger of a man who should put hi
hand near enough to the outside of theil
cage stand back in fright or sheer
amazement when the little titmoust

The crane is an interesting creature
from his dimensions, if for nothing else.
The length of his neck and body to the
tip of the tail is about 81 inches; from the
tip of tho bill to the claws, about Go
inches, while his wings are often as much
as 90 inches in their spread.
