MIR. BnIfour,s RemnrIsr.

London, Jan. l5.-The frivolity dis
played in his recent speeches by Mr.. Bal
four, the government leader in the house
of commons, has landed what has been
known as the strongest government OF
modern times in the slough from which
eXtrication is difficult ii not doubtful. His
light-hearted remarks, which We're pleas
antly accepted by the nation when times
were good and all was well, are offensive
to a people mourning for lost sons and
deeply angered by the unprecedented re-
verses. MIR. Balfour, if he had tried, could
not have more successfully put his coun-
trymen on edge, and when Lord Salisbury
speaks he will have much to atone for.
The memory of Mr. Chamberlain's 'alli-
ance' speech was dying away before Mr..
Balfour put his foot still deeper in the
mire. The conservatives hope that Mr..
Balfour will follow Mr.. Chamberlain's lead
and keep a discreet silence" As the
Saturday Review, one of the government 5
staunchest supports, puts it, "the admin
istration is now face to face not with the
opposition but the nation. IL is crisis
out of which several must come with rep
utations smirehed and possibly result in
the wreck of the government"

ToBoGGANING AMONG orTEns.
The Canadian otter Loves to Coast
and Slides Down xiii for Pure Fun.

1t seems strange to think that any fun
grown four-footed animal should indulge
in play like a child, and yet this is what
the other does His amusement is tobog-
gaming and his playground is a slope, COW
cred with ice or snow. that goes down
grade into pool of water. Here he takes
his recreation; and no lNtle boy with a
new sled every enjoyed coast down an
ice-bound hill more than this beautiful
creature from the frozen north.
The otter is perhaps the most interest
ing of the fur-bearing animals. He is
quite large, sometimes Weighing as much
as twenty-five pounds. He resembles the
seal and the mink, being. however, of
heavier build and is both supple and
strong. Living, for the most part, in wa
ter, he preys on fish, which his swimming
and diving ability enables him TO catch
easily. The entrance to his home, which
is a burrow in the bank of a stream, IL
under the water >'tr
In the early spring, when the ice be-
gins to thaw, these animals start on their
travels from one stream to another. some
times spending mon his on their journey.
If they happen to see an inviting hill by
the wayside they Immediately stop their
pilgrimage and prepare for some sport.
One Of the number leaves the water and
slowly climbs the slope, making smooth
hollow in the ice with his wet body. When
the slide is prepared, he lies fiat on his
belfv thrusts his nose forward and turn
ing his forepaws under his soft sides, goes
sailing swiftly down His speed steadily
increases until he reaches the water. 81
lently he parts the surface and is lost from
sight for a few seconds, then his head
appears above the surface and you can
hear him give a call which sounds like a
whistle This is a signal. The next otter
assumes the position and shoots down 10
the bottom to join his companion, who has
meanwhile crawled out on the ice. Then
another whistle and the next in order
slides and plunges, and the performance
is kept up until each one has several
trips to his credit.
The first makers of a slide will keep this
IN for an indefinite time, speeding down
hin and then trudging up again to their
positions at the top, where they wait for
the whistle from below in the meantime
ulavfully biting each other or rolling in
the snow Finally, though, when, like
children, they begin to tire OF their
amusement, they go back to the water and
fish Even then, If they should happen
to spy another slide, abandoned by a diff
ferent band Of offers, they cannot resist
at least one trip. In fact offers prefer the
ready-made places; II is only when they
are unable to find any such that they go
through the laborious business of smooth
ing a hollow in the snow.
There seems 10 be no reason for this
practice beyond that Of pure enjoyment.
The otter has his play just as the puppy
or kitten, though perhaps more human
in its methods.
