y Da finding the supposed murderer. In the search for the criminal Miss Florence Burns and her circle of intimate friends and girl chums came in for much notoriety. full publicity was given to their habits and amusements, their love affairs and quarrels, ani facts were brought to light by reportorial investigation and by the subsequent court-room testimony which were of a nature to make parents grieve that they should come to the eyes of their sons and daughters. ® laxity of social intercourse and an absence of moral Testraints among the young people concerned which no mother could read without apprehension, The publication of the objectionable story was suf- ficiently regrettable at the time with the excuse given. To republish it now in autobigraphical form serves only the evil purpose of pandering to a taste for the morbid and the sensational while familiarizing young readers with a false code of morals and a false standard of conduct. And to exhibit the young woman herself on the stage is a degredation of the drama as much to be deplored as condemned. RED-HAIRED WOMEN.

EDUCATION OF ANIMALS. In a newly printed volume on animal life by Will- fam J. Long many instances are given of the practice wild animals oblige their young to undergo to attain proficiensy. The author tells of young crows going through exercises with wing and leg In imitation of the mother standing before them, of little otters taken out {nto the stream on the mother’s back and suddenly fesee4 tnto the water to learn to swim, and of fish- hawks teaching their young how to catch fish. (“Letournean some years ago told of a falcon high in ir dropping dead swallows and mice to teach the young Birds to spring upon thelr prey in rapid flight. Another swriter told of a female elephant seen giving swimming lessons to her calf. It is always, as Letourneau pointed . out, the mother who attends to the instruction of her youns. ‘This practice is long continued. story of a lion missing a zebra by miscalculation of dis- ‘tance and trying the jump over again twice.
