The Marvellous Skill in Drawing Exhibited
by the Great English Artist.
Landseer had an extreme fondness
for studying and making pictures of
lions, and from the time when, as q
boy, he dissected one, he tried to OBJ
tain the body of every lion that died in
London. Dickens was in the habit of
relating that, on one occasion, when he
and others were dining with the artist,
a servant entered and asked: "Did you
order a lion, STRIP as if it was the most
natural thing in the world. The guests
feared that living lion was about to
enter, but it turned out to be the body
of the dead "Nero,' of the Geological
Gardens, which had been sent as a gift
to Sir Edwin.
His skill in drawing was marvellous,
and was once shown in a rare way at
large evening party, Facility in
drawing had been the theme of con-
versation, when lady declared that no
ono had yet drawn two objects at the
same moment Landseer would not
allow that this could not be done, and
Immediately took two pencils and drew
horses head with one hand, and at
the same time a stays head with the
other hand He painted with great
rapidity; he once sent to the exhibition
picture OF rabbits painted in three
quarters of an hour. Mr.. Wells relates
that at one time when Landseer was
Wis ting him, he left the house. for
church just as his butler placed fresh
canvas on the easel before the painter;
on his return, three hours later, Land
seer had completed a life-sized picture
of fallow-deer, and so well was it done
that neither he nor the artist could see
that it required retouching. -- clara Frs

And churning and chores went on all day
Nobody could have stopped to play;
Now, whore were the little children thcnI

Not a High Charge Either.

When Boston was Fanny Kemble's
home, and her summers were spent
here and there in rural Massachusetts,
she engaged a worthy neighbor TO be
her charioteer during the season of one
of her country soiournlngs. With
kind-hearted loquacity he was begin
ming to expatiate on the country, the
crops and the history of the people
around about when Fanny remarked,
in her imperious, dogmatic fashion:
"Sir, / have engaged you to drive
for me, not to talk to me-"
The farmer ceased, pursed up his
lips and ever after kept his peace
When the vacation weeks wef1 over,

Milk as a Pork Producer.

An English writer who claims to
know from careful experiments, states
that one bushel of Indian corn will pro-
duce twelve pounds of pork, and that
four or five times the weight of corn
in skinned milk will produce the same.
Thus two hundred pounds, or twenty
five gallons, of milk will produce as
much pork as one bushel of corn. From
our own observation we doubt if the
average feeder obtains twelve pounds
of pork from bushel of corn, but UNI
der favorable circumstances and judi
cous feeding, this might be a fair esti-
mate. The estimate of the meat pro-
ducing quality of milk would indicate
that it is usually moderated in this
respect and should receive more atten-
ton. There is Ger tainly no better food
for the growth of young pigs.-Prairje

ONLY HALF ALIVE.

There are hosts of men and women, who to
coin a phrase, are only half alive. That is to
say they have seldom if ever any appetite, are
nervous, weak, fdgety and troubled by num-
berless small pains and aches, In the presence
Of vigorous, exuberent vitality they seem
mere pigmies. Such persons are usually fond
of frequently dosing themselves, swallowing
in the course of year enough drugs to stock
any apothecary's shop of average dimensions.
This of course defeats instead of furthering
the end in view viz, the recovery ofhealth and
vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfailing
source of vitality Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
how different would be the case. Then vigor
would return to their debilitated frames, the
glow OF health to their wan cheeks, their
uncertain gait would grow firm and elastic,
appetite that grandest Of all sauces, would
give relish for the food, were it ever so
coarse, and refreshing sleep would crown the
tasks of the day.

Where he dwelt with his family.

Old Doctor Chug had inquiring eyes,
An imperturbable face,
While his portly mouth was a useful size,
And his voice was trombone bass.
In thorough bass he could teach by rote,
And gesture could teach by rule;
So they learned 20 quote, and to sing by note,
In the Frogs Collegiate School.
Now Doctor Chug had mind serene,

And his broad demesne had campus green
Where Olympian games were taught
All the students were athletes big and bold,
Excelling in strength and ease;
While the younger Chugs, II was proudly told,
Were experts at the light trapeze.
Old Doctor Chug was q social dean,
Adored for his hidden wit;
He had set the fashion for bottle green,
And his clothes were a tailor fit.

Drinking Toasts.


tirely disappeared. A hundred years
ago and less it was rife in the extreme.
Half dozen men could not sit down to
dinner without drinking toasts. In the
event of any great victory there was no
end of it. The nation was for time
half insane in drinking the health of
Nelson, Wellington, or other successful
commanders by sea and land. 1t was
part of young mans education to get
familiar with q few toasts which he
could bring out when called upon in
turn at evening entertainments. At the
age of fifty he had become so hackneyed
in toasting as never to be at loss for
hero or for sentiment suitable to the
character of the company. AT the very
least he could give, THE rising genera
tion," ''All ships at sea, or, MAY the
wings of friendship never lose feath-

to amuse themselves in this kind of

quiry on variety of important ques-
tons. A great part of life was con-
sumed in dawdling and drinking. as is
still the case among certain classes In
small country towns.
Discountenanced in general society,
complimentary toasting holds its ground
in public festivities. There the liba-
tions are observedly copious, rs provoca-
tive of oratorical display, and as much
attended with senseless uproar rs ever.
Corporation dinners, charity dinners,
reception and farewell dinners are all
alike in these respects. Every toast
must be prefaced by drink all round.
The quantity of champagne consumed
on some occasions is immense, the re-
moval of wagon-load of empty bottles
not at all unusual. What may be tho
different degrees of intoxication we shall
not attempt to specify. One would not
like to be too severe in matter admit

Insanity is on the increase. Statistics show
this. Many cases are brought on by overwork,
anxiety, excitement, mental trouble and ner-
