A Serenade of Wolves.

In the May Century, Ernest Seton
Thompson, who used to be known as
"Wolt" Thompson, from his familiarity
with this particular form of wild animal,
tells how be started wolf serenade at
the National 200" in Washington.
While making these notes among the
animals OF the Washington Zoo, used
to go at all hours to see them. Late one
evening sat down with some friends by
the wolf cages, in the light of a full
moon. said, "Let us see whether they
have forgotten the music of the West"
| put up my hands to my mouth and
howled the huntiug-song of the pack.
The first one to respond was Coyote
from the Plains. He remembered the
wild music that used to mean pickings
for him. He put up his muzzle and "yap-
yapped" and howled. Next an old wolf
from Colorado came running out, looked
and listened earnestly, and raising her
snout to the proper angle, she took up
the wild strain. Then all the Others
came running out and joined in, each ac-
cording to his voice, but all singing that
wild wolf hunting-song, bowling and
yelling, rolling, and swelling, high and
low, in the cadence Of the hills.
They sang me their song of the West. the
West,
They set all my feelings aglow;
They stirred up my heart with their artless
art,
And their song of the long ago"
Again and again they raised the cry,
and sang in chorus till the whole moon.
lit wood around was ringing with the
grim refrain-until the inhabitants in the
near city must have thought all the
beasts broken loose. But at length their
clamor died away, and the wolves re-
turned, skunk back to their dens, silently,
sadly l thought, as though they realized
that they could indeed join in the hunt
ing-song as of old, but their hunting days
were forever done.

Pullman's First Sleeper.

After 3S years of useful existence, the
first modern sleepingcar has lately been
condemned and broken up into Junk.
Long ago, in the later forties, George M.
Pullman happened to be travelling at
night on the New York Central road.
The interior of the Sleeper" of those
days resembled the hold of a canal boat,
with its three rows of berths on either
side OF the aisle. The car jolted and
ratified, and Pullman could not Sleep All
that night he lay awake thinking, and in
the morning he had the idea of modern
sleepiDg-car pretty we'll in his mind.
However, he had neither time nor capital
to work out his plan. For years he kept
on at his railroad work, but in 1858 be
transformed several day coaches on the
Chicago & Alton road into sleeping-cars,
embodying his plans. But the result was
not satisfactory, for the jolting, although
greatly lessened, still interfered with
good nights rest.
1t was necessary to build sleeper from
bottom to top. Pullman risked his for
tune on his judgment. Securing the SER
vices of an excellent master mechanic, he
furnished plans and $4,000 for the
building of car. Railroad men thought
him fool frittering away his money,
and when he announced that he proposed
to charge So for berth, instead of the
old 80 cents bunk" the officers of the
road told him his car would go empty.
But the Pioneer" as the new car was
called, prospered. The berths were eager
" sought after, and people began to
clamor more and more against the old
"rattlers." Other sleepers were built on
the new lines, and soon Pullman began
to make money rapidly. In 1865 the
Pioneer came East for the first time, to
return with the funeral cortege of Abra-
ham Lincoln. So wide was the new car
that several depot platforms along the
route had to be cut away.
The Pioneer introduced in elementary
forms most of the features of the sleepers
now in use. Seldom has car been more
solidly built. For many yearsit Travelled
more than $4,000 miles annually, and
its total mileage was more than 40 times
the circumference of the globe. Good
work paid, as it always does.- Youths

Roosevelt on KipIing.

In st. Nicholas for May Governor
Roosevelt of New York, writing of the
American boy, criticizes and contrasts
two books by Rudyard Kipling. One,
he says, called Captains Courageous,
describes in the liveliest way just what a
boy should be and do. The hero is
painted in the beginning as the spoiled,
over-indulged child of wealthy parents,
of type which we do sometimes uu-
fortunately see, and than which there ex-
list few things more Objectionable on the
face of the broad earth. The boyis after
ward thrown on his own resources, amid
wholesome surroundings, and is forced
to work hard among boys and men who
are real boys and real men doing real
work. The effect is invaluable. On the
other hand, if one wishes to find types of
boys to be avoided with utter dislike,
one will find them in another story by
Kipling, called "Stalky & Co.," a story
which ought never to have been written,
for there is hardly single form of mean
ness which it does not seem to extol, or
of school encouragement which it does
not seem to applaud. Bullies do not
make brave men; and boys or men of
foul life cannot become good citizens,
good Americans, until they change; and
even after the change scars will be left on
their souls.

ness in palming. In his performances the
young man was shenough to contend
that he made no use of coat sleeves or
other parts of his clothing in making OBJ
Jects disappear. Some medical students,
before whom he exhibited, doubling his
alleged supernatural power, propose that

Shut madly assented. Brought to bay
in the nude, the magician" found that
he had but one alternative to confessing
that his art was merely sleight-ofhand.
That was to palm the objects handed to
to him into his mouth and swallow them.
He chose the alternative, and by skillul
work succeeded in swallowing the entire
mass of junk without affording the spec
tators the slightest suspicion OF it's where
abouts. He gained their enthusiastic ap-
plause as being a second Hermann.
