ANIMAL KINDERGARTENS.
The Beaver Kittens Training and the
Young Otter's Swim.

The Beaver Kittens Training and th<
Young otters Swim.
1t will be noticed that all crea-
lures which have large families,
whether beasts or birds, have less
trouble in rearing them than those
which have only one or two young.
Little pigs are weeks ahead of calves
in intelligence, and the young
partridge, with its dozen brothers
and sisters, is far more teachable
than the young eagle. There seems
no doubt that the latter is taught to
fly by its parents. a correspondent
informs the writer that he has
watched the old birds so engaged
and the young eagles reluctantly
following them to height.
Specialized education in animals
begins late. The beaver kittens
training does not begin until the
autumn of the year in which it was
born. The old beavers, which have
moved up tributary streams into
the woods or roamed to the larger
lakes during summer, then return
to inspect their dam and repair it
for the winter, They then cut
down a few trees and, dividing
them into logs, roll them or tow
them to the dam. The kittens
meantime are put on to what in a
workshop would be called soft
job" They cut all the small
branches and twigs into lengths and
do their share of light transport
service. In the mud patting and re-
pairing of the dam the beaver kit
tens take their share, but there is
little doubt that they do 80 because
their elders are so engaged. 1t is a
Kindergarten of the best kind, be-
cause mud patting and stick cutting
are a great joy and solace to old
beavers as well as young ones, and
so instruction, pleasure and busi-
ness are all combined.
Young otters, and probably also
young water rats, have to be taught
to go into the water. According to
the observations of the head keeper
at the zoo, the young offers born
there do not enter the water for
weeks, and even then their mother
has to mind them and fetch them
out when she thinks they have had
enough of it, They swim naturally
when once in the water, and this
seems true of all animals.-London
Spectator.

cold meats until sundown.
The dusk OF the shortening Septem-
Der day was fast approaching when
they heard the sound of horses at the

CHEWING COFFEE.
A Pernioieus Habit That Is Liable to
Ruin the Health.

Physicians claim that the habit Of
tobacco chewing is dying out, but
as insidious a habit has come to take
its place. This is coffee chewing.
which is very bad thing for the
health, for it creates nervousness,
makes the skin yellow, blackens the
teeth and diminishes the appetite.
The habit seems to have originat-
ed in the coffee roasting establish
ments. When visiting one of these
plants one sees nearly all the men
taking coffee grains from little
pouch which is sewn on the front
of their jumpers. Every little while
they take a half dozen or more
grains from it and chew them with
great relish. The women who work
there are addicted to the same habit.
A specialist of Philadelphia has
made a study of the coffee chewing
habit and says; ''lt is habit easily
contracted, for the taste of the
crisp, roasted berries is not unpleaS-
ant, and the exhlaration, the slim
ulus, that the berries give is quite
as marked as that which would be
obtained from q glass or two of beer
or from drink of whisky.
at is this exhilaration, am con-
vinced, that causes the habit to be
formed and that makes it a hard
habit to break away from. 1t should
be broken away from. Its effects
are highly injurious, They are more
injurious than those of tobacco
chewing,
"The coffee chewing habit wrecks
the nerves, it makes the skin sallow
and it destroys the appetite. | have
had occasion to treat number of
men for it. / always advise such
men to break off by imperceptible
degrees give three or four
months to the task. Some succeed
and some do not. Men who work
in coffee plants find it almost impos-
sible to succeed"
Coffee experts seem to be the
only employees connected with tl.o
coffee trade who have not this habit,
for if they had their sense of taste
would be dulled. The experts, by
smell only or by taste only, diStin-
guish without the slightest difficulty
or uncertainty between the Arabian,
the Jayanese, the Guatemalan, the
Costa Rican, the Bogotan and doz-
en- other coffees. They could not
do this if they were coffee chewers.

scHUBERTs SAD LIFE.
~ Shall Have to Sneak From Door 10
Door TO Beo My Bread"

Door to Beg Ny Bread"
One of the bitterest disappoint-
iments in Schubert's life was
Goethe's indifference. In 1878 he
sent a selection of his compositions
to the poets songs to Weiraar.
What precious pearls Of music were
among The collection-the songs of
"Mjgnon" and "The Harpist,' those
from "Faust," the sad melodies
Longing" "Nightsong," "The
Wanderers Nightsong," ''The Earl
King" "Haideroslein," "rhe Fish
erman," "rhe Bard" "The King of
Thule" and the music to "Clsudine
OF Villa Bella" Goethe, who had
an ear only for the stiff compost
tions of Zumsteeg and Reinhart,
then in fashion in Weimar, took no
notice of Schubert's music and left
his letter unanswered. Not until
1830-after Schubert's death-did
Goethe learn to appreciate the ex-
traordinary value of the compost
tions that lay neglected in his
drawer. 1t was then that Wilhel-
mine Schroeder Devrient sang "The
Earl King" to him.
1t was Schubert's greatest delight
to make some little excursion with
his friends to the picturesquely sit
uated villages in tho Wilnerwald or
on the Kahlenberg, and it was in
the arbors of the small inns, with
glass of pure country wine before
him, that inspiration came most
easily. But even these modest de-
lights were imbittered by the malice
that pictured him as a drunkard
who composed his songs when he
was full of wine. 1t is an absolute
fact that he did not lose the faculty
of artistic work even under the sad
dest circumstances. He composed
the greater part of the MILLER
Songs" while he was lying i'll in hos
pital in 1923.
He was quite right when he
wrote to his friend Kuppelwieser in
March, 1924, "Those of my compo-
sitions which have been inspired by
pain seem to please people best"
And in letter to Bauernteld he
complained: "What will become Of
poor me? Like Goethe's harp
player, | shall have to sneak from
door to door and beg my bread"
The only ray of light that fell into
his dark life was when, through the
kindness of Count Johann Ester
hazy's manager, Unger, the father
of the famous prima donna, Unger-
Sabatier, he was appointed music
master in the counts household in
Zelecs, where he spent some happy
summers, the happiest of his life,
1t was in Castle Zelecs that he is
supposed to have fallen in love with
Caroline, his patrons beautiful
daughter, who was his pupil and
who probably never learned the
secret of the musicians heart,
though it is strange that one so
gifted and so beautiful should not
have married before she was we'll
into the thirties. Bitter disappoint-
ment followed this short spell of
life free of care.-London Tele-

1t was one morning in the late winter
that Mrs. Agnew said her "little say"
to her son. 1t was breakfast time, and
Betsey stood beside the stove twirling
pancake turner over smoking grid
die.
Zed still sat at the table. bolting
griddlecakes and listening without
appearing to hear. He sat we'll back
In his chair, with his feet gripped
around the rear legs. His left elbow
rested on the table, his hand clutching
the back of his neck firmly. His fore
head was low and his chin short. The
nose turned up suddenly at the END
and drew with 1t the middle of his
upper lip, exposing cavity which two
front teeth would have become. When
Zed spoke, which was seldom, his
words arrived by way of his nose and
were not intended to give satisfaction
on any subject.
The only response he made to his
mothers ultimatum was. Fork me

Mrs. Agnew, paying no attention,
bent over the griddle. "It amt every
day that a young man can git farm

after fer years. and"-here Mrs. Ag-
new shot keen glance at her SON

Zed's satisfying response as he glued
his eyes to the bottom of the sirup

Betsey continued, knowing that her

"No. l say. 1t Amt every day that a
young man gifts such farm, with a
new house on 1t, and"-here she
paused and threw big cake on her
sons plate by way OF emphasis-"a

Zed unlocked his feet and laborl-
ously arose. He twisted his upper lip
sidewise and looked over the table.
''There hain't nothln' more to eat In
