HOW MUsKRAT BUILDS HOME.

If His House is Frozen Up He Enters
 Any Other He Finds.
 The muskrat are growing uneasy. The atmosphere of spring is an irresis- tible temptation, no matter when it comes Whatever we may think of the muskrat's precedence in fortelling the severity of the winter and designing the muskrat's prescience in fortelling pective thickness of ice and depth of frost he certainly shows an apprecia4 ton of warm weather when it comes.
 Then the dead looking house of fro- zen weeds, with it's lining of ice and floor of open water is perforated on the sunny side, and MT. Muskrat makes his way out into the open air. These little excursions are. generally taken at night for, he is above all things, a lover of darkness, refuting his inno- cence all imputations of evil deeds
 Sometimes he runs out into the open day timidly raising his black, dripping head and peering about in search of enemies The round door which he opens is temporary affair, and he is generally wise enough to close it again before the floor, which is the normal means of exit and ingress, freezes over.
 If the floor is allowed to freeze the house becomes useless, but the socia- listic principles adopted by the musk rat community lessen the force of such misfortunes. A muskrat swimming un- der the ice, with luscious green weeds trailing from his mouth, appropriates the first house he finds vacant. and rises into it's black dome to enjoy his meal in invisible silence.
 The wasteful principle of individual ism would ben an intoIerable burden for the muskrats during the harsh Canadian winter. Their socialism is not even class-conscious, for it is uni- versal and, instead of running mino- rity. candidates, they, merely swim to the nearest house and take possession. .a-ua4ssA,4k<a cSiaha

LIMITATIONS OF DICKENS.

With all his genuine kindliness of heart, his sentiment and his emotion alism, he was fond and unmistakahle type of the underbred Englishnan. This was shown at all times and in many Ways-in his velvet coats, his flaming scarfs, his huge double watch chains and the gaudy rings which clogged his dngers, as well as in his fondness for low company, and his frequent exhibitions of bad taste in company that was by no, means low An American girl who met the Dickens family often, wrote many years after ward an account of his uncomfortable fondness for such jokes as would have delighted the heart of Mrs Camp. If he happened to find himself in the presence of q lady who was looking forward to motherhood, he invari- ably called attention to the fact in a series of broad jokes and exceedingly pointed allusions which no one could check and which embarrassed all who heard him fully as much as they did the subject of his obstetric wit. He | lacked in short, the finer instincts of gentleman; and it has been re- marked quite often that in his books he never drew one single character who deserves the name of gentleman, In Nicholas Nickleby," his notions of the gentry are such as one might gather naw from the perusal of Key holds Weekly and which he himself had probably derived from penny dreadfuls, Sir Mulberry Hawk and Lord Frederick Verisopht-the wicked baronet and the foolish lord-refect the lack of knowledge which Dickens always showed whenever he emerged from the sphere of the squalid and grotesque Later, when in Bleak House" he depicted Lawrence Boy thorn, he achieved nothing better than lock we find a wooden dummy. Now, had he been a gentleman at heart. would he have burlesqued his own mother as Mrs. Nickleby, and his own ! father as Wilkins Micawber, and one of his best friends Ieigh Hunt) as Harold Skimpole. But never did he so thoroughly expose himself as a cad
 
 statement of his domestic troubles in his magazine Household Words. His best friends urged him not to do this really awful thing; but his egotism urged him irresistibly on. And so he posed in print as person who was willing to trail his soiled linen in the public view The world has some sympathy, even though it be cynical one, with the femme incomprise; but 1 it bestows nothing for jeers upon the mari incompris. Dickens went even further He wished to have his statement published sn Punch-the last place in the world for such revelation to be made-and he broke off al personal intercourse with the editors because they naturally refused 1 Glis preposterous request.-Fram Charles Dickens as a Husband by Lyndon Orr | in the Bookman.

PROFESSOR SANFORD'S GIFT
HE IS DONOR oFN. r. SYMPHONY
 CONCERT FOR INFIRMARK.


 ard of ExcelIence--A Large Opening
 Sale on saturday-Prospects for a
 Brilliant Cncert
 It has just been learned that Profes- sor Samuel s. Sanford is the friend of the university who is bringing the New York Symphony orchestra to New Ha- ven for a benefit concert to the Yale inirmary next Wednesday evening. Although on leave of absence just now from the department of music in the university where he is professor of ap- piled music, Professor Sanford keeps very closely in touch with Yale and has shown his interest in substantial way many times. He is at present living in New York. Learning that the infirmary was in need of money to establish beds for poor students unable to pay for medical treatment, he took this means of raising money for this worthy pur- pose and at the same time of giving the people of New Haven a musical treat in the way of performance of orches- tral music up to the highest standards.
 Judging from the opening days sale, the people of the city appreciate this effort to give them concert of quail | ity rarely heard outside of the largest cities.
 The sale continues. at Woolsey hall this morning from 10 to and daily un- til the concert.

The meeting was called to order by
George X. Macleod Esq, who in a
straightforward manner, told the facts

chief points Is that he found a portion
