Animals At Play.

Cats delight in racing about, but OF
so often, I think, in circles as dogs do.
They prefer straight lines and sharp
turns with the genuine goat jump.
This sudden fight into the air, which
appears to take place without the ami
mails knowledge or intention, cannot
here be preparatory to life in the
mountains, but the cat finds the high
jump very useful, not only In pouncing
on its prey, but in escaping it's hered-
itary enemy. Brehm records move
ment play Of young chamois. When in
summer the young chamois climb up
to the perpetual snow, they delight to
play on it. They throw themselves in
n crouching position on the upper end
Of steep, snow-covered incline, work
all four legs with a swimming motion
to get start, and then slide down on
the surface of the snow, often travers-
ing n distance of from 100 to $50 meters
in this way, while the snow flies up and
covers them with fine powder. Ar

THE WOMAN'S WORK
By IRVING DAcHELLrR,

MY LIFE had been full of work and
lv worry. On leaving college l had
planned to do many things that had
never done. / was TO travel. was to
read and study, was to wish and have
indeed what was I not to do and
what had done? Nothing but drudg-
cry that had prospered so as to beggat
me OF my best hopes. The hurry and
hazard OF business HE had never given
me SO much even as q day of. 1t had
been hard on my wife. and from the
first I felt sorry for her. We had no
children and In our little fiat my wife
insisted that o servant would be no
help. I was detained at my office fire.
quently untn neither my wife nor my
dinner were at their best, / often tie
with suppressed emotion those days,
while my wife sat beside me In tears,
and could never quite understand her

myself.

reading. or going after pleasure when

Somehow the weight Of the whole
day seemed to fall on me Of sudden,

dishes. That done, We talked Ian
guidly about the events Of the day,
and were In bed by half after nine. I
loved books and bought them freely a.

and do lot Of delayed shopping. l
sat alone reading for a long time after
she went away. There was deadly

about this impression Of what had
read:
II purpose to write the history Of
England from the accession Of King
James the Second down to time that
Is within the memory OF men still liv-
ing. I shall recount the errors; Good
Lord! have made many errors"
And so It went. One standing near
would have heard the first chapter in
a well-known history Of England, but
l heard only the history Of my recent
life. ! threw the book inside presently
and fell asleep. When l awoke 1t was
near five O'Clock. The fiat was as dark
and silent as tomb. My wife would
be coming soon, and thought would
get the dinner started. So | strung the
beans and pared the potatoes and got
fire going. The pots were boiling mer-
rily in short time, and then spread
the table and got out some Of our best
china. 1t occurred to me, suddenly,
that few flowers would improve the
locks Of the table, and so I hurried
down to near shop and bought lot of
roses and ferns. On my return
strong odor greeted me at the door.
The water had boiled out of one of the
pots and the beans had touched bot
tom. The potatoes were also crumbling
on the verge of dissolution. I made
things move so quickly then that I
scalded my hand with hot steam. I
lost my temper for moment and flung
the empty potato kettle into the mir.
