The Extinction of Large Animals

In an interesting article on this
subject in a French journal, NJ.
Vignes shows that those species
which exceeded their fellows in height
and bulk are more than ever at the
present day threatened with extinction.
Since the recent geological epochs the
progressive diminutiOn of their num-
Der has become all the more rapid that
they must now count man among the
numerous competitors that dispute
with them the surface of the earth.
Thus the present age may be called
upon to witness the accomplishment
of their extinction. In the struggle
which they have to maintain against
the new competitor, they present. in
comparison with species of moderate
or small size, two disadvantages. The
mass of their body being more than
developed, they require more abund-
ant nourishment, and are thus liable
to be deprived of sufficient subsist-
ence. Besides, their multiplication
being comparatively slow, they can
only repair their losses with great
difficulty. Certain small species
rats, mice, insects, etc. against
which there is universal war, with no
hope of eXterminating them, owe
their safety to their extraordinary
fecundity whereas, the losses among
the larger animals can be but partial
ly filled up by reproduction. If
science does not make haste to COM
plete her knowledge of these animals,
She will by and by find herself de-
prived of subjects. 1t is certainly not
rash to maintain that the whales,
lamantins, dugOngS, walruS, certain
species of seals and diaries, the great
white bear of the Attic coasts, the
common bears, wolves, the great car
nivora Qions, tigers, etc., gorillas,
the giant armadilo, giraffes, Glands,
aurochs, bison, elephant, hippopo.
Janus, rhinoceros, kangaroo, elephan-
tine turtle, crocodile. birds of the
ostrich group, the Artic penguin, ETC.,
are all threatened with the same fate
which during recent centuries has
overtaken them, among others, the
gigantic epiornis Of Madagascar, the
great moas of New Zealand, and,
within the last two centuries, the
enormous dove and gigantic water
fowl of Mauritius. Among the an
imals which have recently become
extinct birds are specially cOnspicu-
Gus. Numerous other victims of
human competition will soon follow
moas, the dinornis, the epiornis, etc.
All the great animals, in general,
tend after their kind to disappear, in
consequence Of human competition.
The only ones which man will allow
to survive will be those from which
he can, without much trouble, draw
some profit, either by a regulated
pursuit or by domestication.

reads the papers, and sneers at books,
farming and improvements, generally
has a leaky rSof, brOken-doWn fences,
and COMPLAINS of bad seasons and poor
crops. The farmer who is above his
business, and intrusts to others to
manage, in due season has no business
to attend to-"
HORSES are quite sensitive to chill
ing draughts of air blowing upon them,
and especially upon their heads hence,
in construction of stables this should
be born in mind. Many stables have
the horses face an alley, along side of
which are doors, OF large space is left
entirely open; in such cases, wher.
ever the rear stable door and the one
leading out of the alley are open, the
horses stand in q chilling draught,
from which they can not escape.
Horses, like many people, can stand
much wind in an open field, but will
catch cold when in q draught only a
short time. With proper ventilation,
| the doors of the stable should be kept
closed in cold weather that no draughts
may occur.

One of NapOleOn's Veterans.

The Montreal Witness tells of most
remarkable man at present living in
that city, being no less a person than
one of the Great Napoleon's soldiers,
named Louis LeSsard, now over 1O3
years old. Nh. Lessard is we'll edu-
Gated man, and tells the story of his
life in manner at once quaint and
interesting. Atan early age he enter
ed the army of the first Napoleon,
and soon rose to what was then known
as q s commanding captain" He &C.
companied the renowned conqueror
in all his principal campaigns, was
present at the battle of the Pyramids,
Austerlitz and Wagram, and finally
went to Moscow with the Grand
Army of 1nvasion,' the defeat and
destruction of which by the Russians
is SO we'll known in history. The
memorable ''retreat on that occasion
in midwinter, and the sufferings Of
the French army. are described by
Mr.. Lessard in vivid language. He
fought his final battle at Waterloo.
Retiring from the army, he settled
down in a country part of France to
the quiet pursuit of farming, but
finally came to Canada. He has been in
Montreal forty years, and has taken
considerable interest in the progress
Of the country, although never taking
an active part in it's politics. In the
troubles of 1887 he held a commission
in the militia; he can speak with
remarkable accuracy on all the lead
ing incidents of the rebellion. But
perhaps the most remarkable thing is
his memory of the days of Bonaparte,
the incidents of the battles fought,
and the names and appearance or the
officers commanding. He speaks Of
these as matter of almost yesterday.
He received a silver snuff box from
the hands of Napoleon. He never
during his life used tobacco or spirits
of any kind. He has been twice mar
ried, but has no children, and here
comes what may be called really
strange episode in this remarkable
history: He married his second wife
only eight months ago. The bride is
a lady of middle age, and the twain
live happily together, and appear to
take the liveliest interest in each
other. Altogether, the story of Mr..
Lessard is replete with interest; and
although he is now 103 years old, his
days appear to be no means numbered.
Indeed, he expresses the hope to see

Beside babbling mOuntain-stream
Where softly alders CULVER
Where eddying bubbles CLINT and CLEAN
" Adownward toward the river
Two fair-haired children traced the mead
OF butter-cup and clover;
Or rode, on Farcy's winged steeds,
The purple hill-tops over.
Two children roamed the shady dells,
By fancy blithe or sober,
From Mays first blossoms on the hills
Till crimson Tipped October.
They watch the waxen May Flowers Greer
From russell covers under;
And whispered low Of fancies deep,
With mods, and smiles, and wonder.
Till Time the gray beard-fairy he,
Unfairy-like his doing
Had touched the maiden's merry glee
With his resistless wooing;
While Life his heavy hands put forth,
And chained the childish ardor
To days and deeds of use and worth,
Beneath his strong recorder.
The joyous ways they wondered down,
Life's sunny, spring time weather;
Then parted in the rose-hedged lawn,
To walk no more together.
For one, the roar of Oceans surf
For one, the wales are blooming;
One sings the weary dirge of Earth
And one its songs is humming.

That eager eyes look tow'rd the height

THE WISE BELLS.

On sunny Sabbath morning
Forth two messengers were sped.
That the bells be set a-ringing,
One to say, in chime and singing:
CA fair maiden is to wed!'
One to say, with knell and moaning,
GA fair maiden lieth dead"
By mischance the stupid servants
Went not whittier they were babe,
But each where was sent the other;
One said, "Ring the bells right glad
"For the bride !" One said in sorrow,
"For the dead ring slow and sad ~
So it CHANGED that, at the bridal,
All turned pale to hear the bell;
While the gladstone wedding Ginning
Mid the dirge discordant fell.
But the angels, hearing, whispered:
In the chime and in the knell,
Wisdom more than man could teach thee
Did'st thou speak to-day, o, bell ~

Agricultural Helps.


ONE good farmer says that he pur
chases in the summer his mill feed fol
his stock, when it is cheaper than it is
in winter.
ENGLISH farmers are beginning tt
find that they must fatten their beef
cattle while the animals are young, II
they would make money.
THE meat of turkeys which are kept
supplied with charcoal during the
period of fattening is said to be supe
rior in point of tenderness and flavor.
The early eggs of the season are
more apt to produce strong, vigorous
chickens than those laid later. They
are more apt to hatch cOckerels, but
nobody knows why.
Do NOT undertake to keep sheep on
low, undrained land. They will surely
contract disease, and sick sheep is
about as mean a thing as we know Of,
not excepting sick chicken.
IT should never be forgotten that
rich cattle food makes rich manure,
and rich manure heavy crops, while on
the other hand, poor feed means lean
cattle, poor manure and inferior
crops.
To PRESERVE EGGs.-Pack ON
end, cover with salt and lime water
and keep in a cool place, Proportions -
pound of stone lime and a pint of salt
to two gallons of pure water. Be
sure that the eggs are perfectly fresh,
also be careful not to crack the shells.
ONE Of the sources of increase of
wealth to a real farmer should be an
increase in the fertility and product
i've power Of his acres, but instead OF
this how often we hear the remark,
d" We would give more of such and
such piece of land if it had never
been plowed." Sometimes this depre-
citation is so great as to overbalance
the improvements on the farm. and
raw prairie right alongside is chosen
before the farm by buyer. Farmers
should ponder these things, and begin
to study the wants of the soil as they
study the wants of their stock.
IF any farmer who raises spring
wheat has not good, clean seed, now
is the time to be looking it up. There
is more leisure and better chance to
find it now than just at seed time.
1t can also be thoroughly cleaned.
No farmer should SOW weed seeds,
as he will always have volunteer
weeds and mixed grains. A good
plan to get good seed is to get the
grain dealer to watch the wheat as it
comes on the market, and let him buy
it, as he can generally buy it
cheaper than the farmer can, and in
midwinter it can generally be bought
IS to 80 per cent. cheaper than at seed
time. Get good seed SOW early; and
thresh early; and, as general thing,
sell early.
a SUCCESSFUL old farmer once said
that 50 one acre OF land well prepared
and cultivated will produce more than
two which receive only the same
amount OF labor used ON one. One cow.
horse or mule, sheep or hog, well fed
and cared for, is more profitable than
two fed on the amount that will keep.
one well. One acre of grass is worth
more than two of cotton where no
grass is raised The farmer who never
