just got out of the army and had my pay
to start in with. Well, we had hard time

mostly on hog and hominy. But when l

for thrashing, and went to bed feeling as

About midnight, as near as l can recollect
l heard clap of thunder and then the
house began to rock like a willow tree.
Then everything was quiet for little while
and went to sleep. Early tle next morn
ing my wife got up and looked out of the
window.
John said she, where ON earth is

stranger, L saw the most remarkable sight

nant of my barn. My barn-yard was gone,
the house, the cows, and even the pigs were
gone. got dressed and walked out doors.
The place was changed, stranger, changed
in single night. My house was setting
in garden by the side of creek. There
was new barn in the yard, some red cows
mine were Wholesome black pigs mime
were spotted--and instead of wheat there
was the atiredest stack of corn stalks you
ever looked at. 1 thought at first l was

neighbors came in and asked where Mr.

A PRACTICAL PHILANrHRopIsT.

Incidents From tho Life OF tho Late
Frank Buckiand, tho Noted Naturalist.
The late Frank Buckland was nat
uralist with such a practical bias that
he preferred rather to improve the re-
sources of the world than to extend the
limits of science. As Her Majesty's
Inspector of Fisheries, he was never so
happy as when he was trying to increase
the list Of edible fishes, or peopling the
Australian waters with salmon. He
was also jealous for acclimatizing ami
mails in England, and for stocking the
parks with Glands. His utilitarianism
made him Indifferent to the disgusting
side of his experiments in the uses of
animal life.
"How can you taste anything so
nastyp" asked friend, who found him
eating piece of salmon at the time of
year when salmon are unfit to be eaten.
at is nasty enough" he answered,
"but how can say so unless l have
tried itp"
When the panther in the Geological
Gardens died, he insisted on having it
disintcrred that he might cook pan
ther chop and taste 1t, which he did,
and then remarked that lit was not
very good"
He records that horse-ilesh banquet
gave him fit of indigestion. and that
he could not soften the hard texture of
an elephants trunk, though he boiled
it for many days.
In his undergraduated days he
turned his college rooms into a menag-
erie. When his friends breakfasted
with him, they found that eating was
made little difficult by the presence
of beasts, reptiles and birds.
A friend once met him coming into
the college grounds with both trousers
| pockets swollen out to an enormous
size. They were full of slow-worms, in
| damp moss, and he explained to his
amused friend that this combination of
| warmth and moisture was good for the
worms. They indorsed his remark by
| poking out their heads necessarily, in
the most lively style, while he repressed
them with the palms of his hands.
| This utilitarian naturalist was as full
| of tenderness to human beings as he
was full of sympathy with the lower
animals. One night, while walking
|
| girl crying in the street. She had been
turned out of her place as unequal to its
duties, and had no money and no friends
nearer than distant town, where her
parents lived.
The naturalist took her to an eating
house, gave her dinner, put her in a
coach, rode with her to the railway sta
ton, paid for her ticket and left her in
charge of the guard of the train. He
did not realize that he had done an ex-
ceptionally kind action.
God, life, earth and judgment were
present realities to him, yet he was the
cheerfulest OF men. He seems never to
have had morbid moment. When he
lay dying he expressed his belief that
God, who was so good to the little fishes,
would prove to be equally good to the
Inspector of Fisheries. Youths Com
