GladstOne's Intensity.

Mr.. Gladstone is a man who. having
once put bis hand to the pillow, not
only will not look back, but frequently
disdains to glance to the right or left
also. Although one of the greatest men
this country has ever produced "a
fnancier of consummate ability, states
man of rare parts, and a patriot of I'M
blemished renown-he somehow lacks
that genial saUoir .faire which drew all
men to such leaders as Lord Beaconsfeld
and Lord Palmerston As lively French
friend of mine remarked, 81 can not
understand your Mr.. Gladstone; he is so
terribly in earnest" The Premier's ends
are always good ends, but he is so "ter-
ribly in earnest" about reaching his
objects that he is apt to overlook not 80
much the principal means of obtaining
them as the small details, which, though
individually insignificant, are frequently
collectively of the utmost assistance to
statesmen and statecraft.
Mr.. Gladstone belongs to the Church
of England, and is fond of fine ritual;
but there is good deal of the old austere
Puritan spirit in his composition. Unlike
Palmerston, / doubt il he ever made a
political convert from the enemies ranks,
and is inclined to despise those small
social amenities outside the walls of st.
Stephens which so often facilitate bust
ness within. London Correspondence

Narrow Escape from Icebergs.

While our ships were lying quietly at
the foot of this immense and wonderful
creation of ice, it happened that the
bergs Immediately to the seward of us
commenced whirling along in al direc-
tions, acted upon either by different sets
of the tide caused by quiet avalanche
at some short distance away, OF else by a
vast bodily pressurd outward from the
glacier ITSELF However that may be,
our danger was imminent The wind
was blowing strongly, so we double
reefed the topsails, cast off, and made
sail. The only passage of egress was
between two gigantic bergs that lowered
loftily above our mastheads. These
were fast closing together we had to
run the gauntlet, and not one moment
too soon; in fact, ten seconds later and I
believe we should all have persisted, and
the ship have been smashed into pieces.
It was a sight to be once seen and ever
remembered. Sir James Ross, standing
near the men at the helm, directing by
the motion of his hand, perfectly self
possessed, more handsome and noble-
looking in his then cool and command.

arbiters of a fearful doom. Our very
to await the inevitable fiat of the angel
of destruction. Moments became hours
as the vessels length forged through.
Crash, crash not word, not move
ment. The lofty giants had closed on
our quarters, throwed one of our boats
inboard OH the deck, crushing her and
her davits the ship, checked, staggered
for one moment; the noise of her rush
ing through the water reverberated up
the sides of the bergs, when, just as we
expected to be overborne and flung into
eternity, our noble vessel, that seemed
to share in the exquisite tension of the
moment, slipped through clear of the
splendid masses, that, losing all their
terror, now commanded our admiration,
with full liberty of breathing action re-
sumed. Life was befJfe us again. The
very ship was endeared to her crew from
that moment? Did she not seem almost
to share our joy and relief when, as it
were, passing through deaths icy grip,
she 80 nobly plunged again into clear
water? But fresh scene had arisen be-
fore our eyes. Countless icebergs of
enormous magnitude had gathered round
in all directions, obliging us again to
yield obedience to their sway, unable to
thread our way to the open sea. Most
fortunately the mysterious commotion in
the water had ceased, and these colossal
monuments of arctic solitude had become
motionless. We looked up to their sum-
mits with mixed feeling of wonder and
awe, and, gazing among the tortuous
passages formed by the accidental va
riety of their positions, were fully i'm
pressed with the certainty that no such
mighty display of marvellous panorama
would ever again confront our astonished
senses. Commander Cheyne.

NOOsing sharks.

The island Of Aitutaki, one of the
Hervey group, in the Pacific, is sur
rounded by islets, underneath which are
submarine caverns, the homes Of sharks.
The natives classify them as lagoon
sharks, which are comparatively tame,
and ferocious sharks, which spare moth
ing they can seize. The lagoon shark,
about six feet long, is esteemed deli
cacy. and the natives supply their feasts
with the toothsome dish by a remarkable
style of fishing.
Arrived over the entrance to the shark
cave, the fisherman leaves his canoe to
the care of his companions and dives to
the bottom, carrying with him slip
knot of strong cord
He expects to find two or three sharks
at home, well satisfied and drowsy after
feeding in the lagoon, with their tails
toward the entrance. Selecting the
largest, the diver adroitly adjusts a
moose over the tail, taking care that it
hangs loosely. If he has another moose
he secures a second shark.
The shark-catcher now, with one
bound on the white, sandy bottom, rises
to the surface, In order to assist his
friends in hauling up the fish. The as
tonished sleepers beneath suddenly find
themselves ascending tail first to the
surface. Once inside the canoe, smart
blow from an ak between the eyes or on
the tail ends its career.
But accidents sometimes happen to
the bravest. One of the most success

SiIos and Ensilage.

The new system of preserving and
feeding ensilage is one of such simplicity
that doubling minds are incredulous as
to possible results. If the building of
sllo and the subsequentprocesso of filing
with ensilage were some wonderful
secret, or perhaps new discovery pro-
tected by series of patents-if the use
of the system were permitted only under
the payment of heavy royalties-there
is class of skeptical minds who fatten on
uncertain quantities, and who have but
little faith in any practice which is
within the reach of persons of ordinary
intelligence and common sense. 1t 10
difficult for many minds to realize the
facts claimed for ensilage, or TO explain
to themselves why such results should
be secured by processes so simple and
by apportions so economical. Yet proof
absolute demonstrations within the
reach of every inquiring mind, or of
every enterprising farmer who Is willing
to expend $50 for commencing expert
ments upon his own farm.
It is the most singular fact that the
doubling minds are those who have had
no practical experience on the subject,
but whose conservatism is ON parade.
1t is equally surprising that no intelli-
gent, practical attempt at silo building
OF ensilage feeding has resulted in fail
ure, although men of all classes and at
tainments have experimental with the
new system. 1t would be reasonable to
expect many failures among SO many
beginners of varying capacities, we're
there anything intricate or uncertain i'm
the process and its auxiliaries. No
authority in this country is competent
to pronounce positively upon the 5ttture'
success or failure of this new System :
it is for the interest of no one to urge or
induce the adoption of the system by
any unwilling farmer, and no one is TO
be enriched by the multiplication of
silos, except, perhaps, the individual
owners. Many a conservative farmer
will await the report of his more enter
prising nelghbor, who has built, OF is in
tending to build, silo, yet it is quite
certain that before many years, every
one will have ample opportunity to
Judge, in the most careful manner, the
merits and drawbacks of the system of
ensilage.
Grave doubts have been expressed by
some authorities of repute as to the
effect of feeding ensilage upon the but.
ter product Though many accounts Of
successful butter making have been
recorded yet our self-imposed critics
have wisely shaken their heads as if
expecting disaster without being able to-
trace the cause or advise the cure.
The value and Instability of ensilage
is capable of practical demonstration,
and the intelligent farmer who desires to-
make his business profitable will not fail
to investigate for himself simple pro-
cess which will enable him to add
largely to the capacity of his farm in
feeding live stock and thus enriching his
sol. CMktiUatOr.

Reubena was making his escape when,

the shark would go farther in so as to
leave the opening free. Unhappily the

Exhaustion of Soil

Considerable fault. has been found
with me for saying that profitable agri-
culture is founded upon the exhaustion
OF the soil; if exhaustion is considered
an unsuitable term; / do not object to
change the word for reduction of its fer
tlity. The prices of the various prod
ucts OF the farm are regulated chiefiyby
the labor expended on their production,
and not upon the amount of soil ingre-
dents which they remove from the land.
If all nations agreed to pass Jaw CON-
peAlng the farmer to restore to the land
the whole of the ingredients which he
removed by his crops. we should not
only see such law followed by a very
general, and large rise in the price of
our ordinary foods, but also that the
relative cost of the foods themselves
would be very much altered. Even
without such law we find that neces-
sity, from time to time, compels farm
ers to alter their mode of cultivation and
cropping; thus, when they find the fer
tility of their land decreasing, they de-
vote themselves to cultivating such
products as contain more atmospheric
and fewer soil constituents. For in
stance, let us take the case of sugar
beet. IF the roots are sold off the farm,
in each 1000 pounds Of the dry roots
about IT'S pounds of soil products will
be removed from the land; while by the
conversion of the same amount of sugar
beet into beef or mutton only about
10 pounds of soil products will be re-
moved; and if the beet be converted
into sugar none of the soil product need
be lost to the land.
For further illustration, viii follow
grass through the same series. If sold
as hay, 7 or s per cent. of the soil con-
stituents are removed from the land;
very much less, if the grass is converted
into milk; still less if converted into
meat; and none at all if converted into
butter this last being purely atmos-
pheric product, all the soil constituents
may find their way back to the land, ex-
cept perhaps some small portion, which,
in the form of skim milk, might be used
to produce pork. It takes five or six
pounds of corn to produce one pound of
increase in pig; large percentage of
this increase is fat, and farmer who
preserves the blood and ofal would ex-
haust very little of his soil products in
producing bacon. 1t is the rich, fatty
cheese which commands the high price;
and the low-priced skim milk cheese
which is comparatively rich in soil
products. The same law holds good
with regard to flour; the finest -four is
exceedingly poor, both in nitrogen and
minerals: cOarser -four contains more.
and bran still larger amount of the soil
ingredients. As man cannot exist with
out certain amount of these soil
products in his food, and as all his
efforts in the production of his food are
directed toward getting rid of such soil
products, the way in which he obtains
them in separate form becomes rather
an interesting physiological question:

UNDER THE SNOW.
AsroR1 IN RHYME BY ROBERT ooLLrxA.

STORY RHYME BY ROBERT ooLLxKns
II was Christmas eve In the year fourteen,
And, as ancient dalesman used to tell,
The widest winter they ever had seen,
With the snow lying deep on moor and fen,
When Wagner John got out his team,
SmileI-and Whitefoot, Duke and Gray,
With the light in his eyes Of young mans dream,
AS he thought Of his wedding, on New Years day,
To Ruth, the maid with the bonnie brown hair,
And eyes Of the deepest, sunniest blue,
Modest and winsome and wondrous fair,
And true to her troth, for her heart was true.
As Thou's surely not goingv shouted mine host
Thou'n be lost in the drift IS sures thou's born.
Thy lass winnot want to we'd WI ghost
And that's what thou'A be on Christmas morn.
" It's eleven long Iailes from Skipton town,
To Blueberg hooses and Washburn dale,
Thou had better turn back and sit thee doom,
And comfort thy heart VII drop O. good ale"
Turn the swallows flying south,
Turn the vines against the sun,
Herds from rivers in the drought
Men must dare or nothing done.
30 what cares the lover for storm or drift;
Or peril Of death on the hsggard way7
He sings 10 himself like lark to the lift,
And the Joy in his heart turns December to May.
But the wind from the north brings deadly chill,
Where the thick Of the storm strikes Blueberg hill
He is weary and falls in pleasant sleep.
he dreams he is walking by Washburn side,
Walking with Ruth on a summers day,
Bnging that song 70 his bonnie bride,
His own wife now forever and aye.
Now read me this riddle, how Ruth should hear
That song of heart, in the clutch Of doom.
II stole on her ear, distinct and clear,
AS If her lover was in the room.
Ard read me this riddle, how Ruth should know,
AS she bounds to throw open the heavy door.
That her lover is lost in the drifting snow,
Dying or dead on the great wild moor.
" Help help or my sweetheart is lost Lost loatw
Rings through the night as she rushes away,
Btumbling, blinded and tempest tossed,
Straight to the drift where her lover lay.
And swift they leap after her into the night,
Into the drifts by Blueberg hill,
Pullan, Ward, Robinson, each with his light,
To find her there, holding him, white and StiI.

"Bonne Ruth were me great-greatgrandsire's bride,
And Master FARMLAND gave her away"
But how did she find him under the snow?"
They cried with laughter, touched with tears.
"Nay, lads, ;" he said, softly, " we never can know,
No, not If we live hundred years.

A RECENT article in one of our ex-
changes is entitled "The Oyster War. I"
Few would believe that the oyster, under
any circumstances, would be combative,
and yet such seems to be the case. The
oyster, as he lies on our plate, looks
calm and unimpassioned. He seems
cool, collected, and reserved, and yet
when the tocs1n of war is sounded, he
rubs little cayenne pepper on his back
and nerves himself for the combat. In
times of peace he is taciturn and IN
demonstrative, but when wars and rude
alarms disturb the air, he crawls out of
the can and makes Rome howl. Lara
