SO . BEAVER FINDS. AN ADVOCATE British Rancher of Opinion the Little Animal Is Much Abused, and Glves His Reasons. “There has been a lot of garbled stuff written in regard to the poor humble beaver,” says a correspondent. “He 18 the most cussed animal of any in existence in British Columbia to- day. 5 “He shuts up water in creeks, over- flows meadows, eats off apple trees if you get them too close to his wander- ings, and, in fact, to hear the com- plaints about him, you Yolks on the outside would think he should be ex- terminated. But not so; he is man's best friend in regard to the water Question. “Now, I am an admirer of the beav- er; he has not a lazy hair on his body. He works unceasingly to shut up v-hat you have torn out; not only for his part, but for the rancher that wants the water. As fast as you can open their dams every morning all the sum- mer through, they' will close them agaln at night. But put in a good dam and flume box with gate, and your trouble is over in a great measure. “They will once in a while shut up the box, but not often. Hang up a plece of bright tin on a spring hole so the tin will swash ip the water, and you will not be bothered much at the box. Now, if the ranchers left all these cuts open, which they all do, your water would all run off in the winter’s thaws. BSo that is where the beaver comes to their relief. He shuts them up himself!. And then he gets blamed for doing it. “A beaver is awful shy when he first sees man. He certainly puts out for a hole in the bank. But you show up evenings for about a week or ten days and just walk around and pile a few sticks across their path where they are hauling down cotton wood or willows to the lake or pond and they will come and smell of the stick and get the scent of your hands and your tracks. “Then they will quit that place and g0 make another. Well, you do the same at that place and so on two or three nights and they will get your gcent go that they know it means no harm to them. They will pull all your pticks out of the road and keep right on at work. Now their fear of man 18 ell past; they take no more notice of your being around than they would of a horse or cow. ! “The beaver 15 one of the easlest of the larger animals to domesticate. He Is fond of mogt any kind of roots, but of all the wild roots, he likes the big pond Uly root that grows to enormous pize. Some roots are ten to fifteen Jeet long, three to four inches in dl- ameter. "THEY crisa erods and grow together till they are a regulai mat. Then what he likés next is the white carrot, also.the féd. They are poor up and brace themselves on that mus- cular tall and take the food in thelr forepaws, or thelr little hands.”—Fur, News. . * Fifty Thousand Child Gardeners. ' As a result of a state-wide indus- trial contest in Oregon there are now 50,000 children busy gardening. It is thought that of the 125,090 school children of the state at least 75,000 will exhibit at their county falrs or at the state fair at Salem in the autumn something they have raised or made. The superintendent of public instruction and public spirited citizens are responsible for this wholesale plan of child farming. Sub- stantial prizes are fo be awarded to those who have been most successtul in raising garden stuff, chickens and pigs, or in making some useful artl cle. To ald the little ones the agrk cultural college has issued 50,000 bul letins containing directions for plant ing and growing seeds. The scheme is an excellent one, so different from. the murderous child labor of the fac- tory. It includes plenty of fresh air, healthful exercise, pleasant mental exercise, and blessed contract with nature, her beauty and life. There is here the early lesson of obedience to the royal law of labor.—Christian Herald. About the Spare Room. How often the best and sunnies: bedroom in a small house 1s set aside for the rare visitor, while the chil- dren are cramped for space, or its master, the bread-winner, bas some dark cupboard as his specisl sanctum If he attempts to write in the dining: room he must bundle away his papers whenever the table is required for a meal, and the wear and iear to fis temper—for every man finds it ag- gravating to be “hustled”—often makes him “gey {ll to live with.” But for the “fetish” of that seldom used spare room he would find hoffie far more home-like, and his wife would reap & sure reward for the #acrifice of the petty pride which m@Zes her think more of “what people will say” than of her husband’s comfort.

Every street has two sides, the shady side and the sunny, When twq men shake hande and part, mark which of the two takes the sunny side; he will be the younger man of the two.—Bulwer Lytton, ' Dog Policeman Traveis Beat. ‘An Irish terrier named Jerry, which has developed a wonderful capacity for police work,'is now stationed at Burbiton, England. The terrier, own. ed by a sergeant of the Metropolitan police, knows all the “beats” in the district, and always accompanies his master when making patrol by cycle. Jerry's “speclality” is in the captur- ing of stray dogs. These he lures in & friendly menner to the police sta-: tion, and then mounts guard at the gate until the derelict receives official attention. Boon to Those of Weak Heart. A German aymy doctor, M.
