. ANIMALS AT SCHOOL.

Is there anything which, without great violence to language may be call- ed a school of the woods? In the sense in which playground is a school-a playground without rules or methods or a director-there is a school of the woods. It is an unkept, an uncon- scious school or gymnasium, and is en- tirely instinctive. In play the young of all animals, no doubt, get certain al lanimals, no doubt, get a certain amount of training and discipline that helps fit them for their careers; but this school is not presided over or di- rected by parents, though it is some times taken part In by them. It is spontaneous and hap-hazard, without rule or system; but is, in every case: along the line of the future struggle for life of the particular bird or animal. A young marshhawk which we reared used to play at striking leaves or bits of bark with it's talons; kittens play with ball, or cob, or a stick, as if it were a mouse; dogs race and wrestle with each other as in the chase; ducks dive and sport in the water; doves cir cle and dive in the air as if escaping from hawk; birds pursue and dodge each other in the same way; bears wrestle and box; chickens have mimic battles; colts run and leap; lawns prob ably do the same thing; squirrels play something like a game of tag in the

nesday is the latest English dramatic and musical comedy novelty, Dare Devil Dorothy" This production has been organized with the greatest of care and with the one desire of dupli- eating, if possible, the one which for the past four years has been making such profound impression on the vast English audiences. Combining all. in one the several phases of stagecraft- drama, melodrama, comic and grand opera, and last, but not least, musical comedy--it is said to be strictly new and novel production, one well fitted to delight old and young, rich or poor alike. The story is simple, but inter- esting; the music, as the London Tele- graph says, "charmingly tuneful and catchy and the scenic production is complete in it's entirety.
 The company, which is an especially strong one, includes G. Lionel Seybolt. the well-known New York Conserva- tory baritone singer, and Grace Gib- bons, the charming soprano who essay ed the leading role in "The Circus Girl. Besides the regular music of the play, there will be sung several of the latest popular airs.
 There has been a splendid advance sale of seats and there is no doubt that the theater will be packed with fine audience at each performance. Mati- nee Wednesday,.

trees; lambs butt one another and skip about the rocks. and so oh.
 In fact, nearly all play, including much of that of man, takes the form of mock battle, and is to that extent an education for the future. Among the carnivora it takes also the form of the chase. Its spring and motive are, of course, pleasure, and not education; herein again revealing the cunning of nature-the power that conceals pur- poses of it's own in our most thought less acts. The cat and the kitten play with the live mouse. not to indulge the sense of cruelty, as some have supposed, but to indulge in the pleasure of the chase and of capture, and unconscious ly to practice this feat. The eat rarely plays with a live bird, because the re- capture would be more difficult and might fail. What fishermen would not like to capture his big fish over and over again, if he could be sure of doing it, not from cruelty, but for the pleas ure of practieing his art?-John Bur roughs in the Century.
