A BABY OUT OF BED.

Who Tumblcd Out of IT'S Cage.
All the bells of village will ring

the fuss the father and mother beasts
make about it is likely to be terrible
rather than comic especially If lot of
other wild creatures join in with them
in their outcries. The Philadelphia
Times gives the following incident at
the Zoo"
In the menagerie there are six as 1.-the
and brightly marked tigers as any body
ever saw. One morning at daylight the
keepers were surpr sed by an unusual
commotion among the cat-animals. The
men got. out strong ropes, lassoes and
nets, believing that some of the moro
formidable of the wild beasts were out
of their dens. They approached the
wide stars cautiously and entered the
room. The tirer-dcn was scene OF
fierce confusion, and the other animals
shared the excitement. The men ad-
vanced to the front of the den and were
met with demonstrations of anger.
Lying clo;e to the wall in one corner
was huge Bengal tiger, and at her
side pair of beautifully marked cubs.
with eyes closed like young Kittens.
With cries of wonder the men gazed mt
them, for they were only day old.
Still they could not understand why all
the wild beasts should seem so restless
One of the keepers. following the eye
of a hugo panther. shouted:
Look, boys! One has got olt and is
on the tloor!'
One cub had crcpt through the cage
and tumbled out, and wandered around
until it had tired out and gone to sleep.
When one of the men carefully
p cked it up it uttered feeble
cry. The scene that followed
made those men. used to danger as they
are, white with fear. The tigers bent
the bars of their cages, and the lions
roarcd in unison with the shrielis of the
other animals.
To attempt to put the cub through
the bars into the cage from which it had
fallen was certain death to whoever un-
dcrtook it, for with their long forearms
and their curved claws the tigers would
have torn to shreds whatever had been
in reach.
Finally one of the cooler-headed
keepers took the little spcckled, sight
less beast, and climbing up the end of
the den, opened the small hole left for
for ventilation, and dropped tho cause
mother. She tenderly placed it beside
her other offspring, lay down herself.
and in two minutes the cunning-look-
ing kitten was taking its nour;shment,
and every thing soon quoted down.

FASHIONABLE FURS.
What the Lenders of Fashion Will Wear
During the Present SeasOn.

What the Lenders of Fashion Will Wcal
During the Present Season.
There is but little change to note iE
the fashion of furs. The most impor.
tant this season is the introduction of q
pelerine. with long "s:olc'' fronts, very
much after the style of the cape will
very long square ends worn over hun.
dred years age. This handsome gar
ment will be worn by number of lead
ers of fashion, who have brought it
among their list of garnered treasures
from abroad. There is great style, how
ever. in the brcvity OF the back which
displays the tou9nnrc aud the rich fabric
of the dress, and the long ends which,
upon stately figure, give an appear
ance of unusual distinction. In other
elegant garments for more general wear
are surtouts, pelisses, Ncwmarkets and
paletots long and luxurious, and in short
wraps which display the skirts of hand
some costumes, are models in visite
jacket, dolman and pe!er ne shapes,
the latter reaching the waist line only.
Upon new pelerlnes very rich orna-
mental clasps are seen, one Mt the
throat, another few inches below it.
The ascendancy of dark furs this season
IS only in keeping with the preference
for decp-hued colors in every portion of
street attire. which with women of re-
fined and cultivated tastes has passed be-
fixed principle. Gray and golden
brown furs are about the only exception

CORN VS.. COTTON.

corn and peas. In ordinary times

corn he can save, and another on the
same kind Of land plants and cult
Yates all the cotton he can make and
save. which crop will bring the most
clear money after all expenses arc
paid The corn, peas, hay, and en-
riching the land by the pea crop, will
certainly give these decided adyan-
tagc over cotton. There are plenty OF
farmers in the West vino DO not make
more than fifty bushels Of corn to the
acre, and sell corn at twenty-five
cents a bushcl, equal to $3.50 an
acre. \ good farmer on most any
land in the South, properly fortified
with pea vines and other home fer
tilizcrs, should make twenty to TWEEN
ty-tivc bushels Of corn to the acre,

worth 500 to $40 an acre. Why then,
will not the corn in the South pay
Besides. home made corn sold to
non-producers in the South, prevents
SO much money from leaving the
country, while Western corn takes

agricultural.
SMALL FARMS.

Intensive farming might he prac-
tlced more extensively without Diet
riment to the agricultural interests
Of this country. There is too great a
tendency To farm too much land and
spread over two acres the work and
manure for one. Such system grad
ually deterioratcs the soil and leads
TO its impoyerishment. Intensive
farming, on the other hand, seeks to
have each acre better, after each
crop is taken off, than it was before.
The one necessarily leads TO small
iaruis well cultivated, which is the
index Of fourishing agriculture, and
the other leads to large farms, brok-
en- down fences and neglected land,
and is the banc Of successful tillage
Of the soil. Farmers need to learn
70 concentrate their energies,
time, intelligence, labor, etc, upon 3
few acres, and make these produce
more than ever before, instead Of
spreading their labor over so much
surface that none Of it can be made
to produce its full quota. All these
things have tendency to tell upon
the hourishing condition Of this great
industry. The coming increase of
population will gradually make in
tensivo farming necessary, in order
TO support the teeming millions who
will try to thrive upon our soil.
