of fhe stunts that he pulled at the ex- pepse of players, fans and umpires. Hildebrand's story deals with an um- pire.
 In those days 1t was customary for the umpires to fine the players for various offenses. Often in assessing the fine it was habit with most umpires, If the fine was $5, to raise his hand and say, Tt will just cost you that much."
 Working with Hildebrand in a certain game was an umpire who had only three fingers on his right hand. Hogan got into an argument with this umpire. The umpire finally decided he wanted to fine Hogan S5, but he merely raised the hand containing the three fingers and said, Tt will cost you that much" :"
 Hogan neglected to pay the fine, hoping the umpire would forget it. The lump" didn't, and the president advised Hogan he should pay it im- mediately if he desired to continue playing.
 Hogan immediately sent check for S3 On its receipt the president sus- pended him. Hogan refused to pay the other $2. As manager of the club he refused to put his team on the field
 The president of the league was gotten on the telephone, the conditions of the fine explained, and the presi- dent ruled in favor of Hogan.

Beethoven's Marvellous Music.

The mysterious charms of Goethe's song of Mignon, to which Beethoven wrote the music, is that the song is struck yearning which walls and thun- ders through the music of the master. In the melody alone all the wild vague ness and dim aspiration of the song are manifest, and only because the union is perfect is the impression uni form. Should Wilhelm Meister be lost to literature the blossom of Mignon's life would still bloom in the music.- George William Curtis.

out in a recent Farmers Bulletin 1903, The AngOra Goat, published by the United States Department of Agri- culture. which contains detailed in formation about these useful animals, from brief history of their develop ment down to management of goat ranches, the marketing of mohair, and the treatment of diseases.
 Texas is the leading goat-raising region of the United States, having more Angoras than all other states con- bined. Conditions of topography, al titude, climate, and price of land have all joined to help make the ranches successful. Open-brush range, similar to that in Texas. makes the remaining part of the Southwest second in AngOra ranging. Many fine orchards in the Northwest stand on land that was brushed off by the goats, and there is much land in that region that is adapt ed for permanent goat ranging. The Ozarks, In southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, contain many bands of Angoras and will support more on a permanent brush-utilizing basis supplemented with winter feed ing. Outside the areas where there is typical goat range Angoras may be used for brush-clearing by handling them much as sheep are handled.

 Some of us are fond of living in the forests, others by streams, others again by fields. We're not in the least fussy.
 "We burrow in the ground and have fine runways where we go from place to place.
 "Our homes are beautiful with a number of rooms papered and car peted by soft grass and leaves.
 'We eat more in a day than we weigh. That is if anyone weighed the amount of food we ate in a day they would find that we were much smaller in size than the quantity of food we had eaten.
 But it doesn't hurt us for we are so active, always so busy. We do not even rest and sleep in the winter the way some creatures do.
 "That is, I mean we do not go to sleep for the winter.
 "We have very keen sense of hear ing. "Oh, yes, we can hear very well.
 But I must say I have no use for creatures who eat all the time and who are lazy. We must eat lot in order to have the strength to do so much.
 And we must do lot in order to he able to eat lot I don't like to hear of creatures who eat and eat and eat and who then feel too lazy to do anything. That is dreadful.
 "We can protect ourselves by our bravery and also by our musk glands which have a curious odor to them which the other animals do not like, we are thankful to say.
 "We can squeak and cry and we can become very angry. But we're not dreadful little creatures at all, and l do wish people would hear that we are not"
 Perhaps they will," said MT. Short Tailed Shrew. And perhaps the next time they see a little dark animal which looks something like a mole they will say:

Moths and Mimicry.

In some large quarries in Argentina 1t has been observed that a certain species of night-fying moths frequents these places during the day to rest. The moths lie flat against the rocks, which they match perfectly in color, and are practically invisible. This in stance is peculiar by reason of the fact that these quarries contain a colored stone which is unknown elsewhere, and the further fact that it is less than a hundred years since the quar- ries were Scientific American.
