A Goat in q Studio.

Among other stories in the charm
ing "Reminiscences Of Augustus Saint
Gaudens" by father and son is a con-
fession by the son. When he was q
boy in Cornish, he had a pet goat
which he had trained to play a buttfng
game. The coat would butt. Homer
would doc. and then, to his great gfse
the goat would butt the wrong thing or
the air. One day at dinner time, waen
the studio barn was deserted, Homer
was playing this game. Beyond the
open barn door stood the wax model Of
the Logan horse, waiting to be cast In
plaster" This time, when Homer
lodged, the goat butted the back Of the
horse. But since IL did not fall or
break, the relieved child thought IL
wasn't hurt, and didn't tell. Before
any n noticed that the rear Of the
animal was strangely askew," the
horse had been cast In plaster and the
enlargement begun. This meant the
loss of O. whole summers work--just
one more OF the accidents and errors
that increased the 'toughness OF the

hair twisted into a turban; some roll
head over heels for hundreds Of miles;
some contemplate the tip OF their noses

by the fraudulent sale of drugs or by
feats Of legerdemain. In warfare they
are towards, fighting by treachery.
In their religious customs the Der

which have led to certain castles being
known as the dancing Dervishes.
The act of q dancing Dervish Is
supposed to carry him forward to the
ecstatic state In which the soul enters

The cattle scarcity affects something
else besides the price and consumption
of beef. 1t threatens the supply and use
of milk. In Boston. where there was an
apprectable milk scarcity during the year
1913, the question has been raised by the
state milk inspector whether II win not
become necessary to sell skim milk in the
market, as an ordinary source Of supply
as well as milk containing the cream. Al
matters are now, the SKINNED milk,
which is the bulk Of the product. m the
