Great Speakers Sometimes Routed.

lN' AkouItus
Some of the most experienced orators
have been disconnected by very trivial
circumstances Daniel Webster, rising
TO speak Mt a poultry show, was unable
to continue in rivalry with a giant Shan
ghai which began to air its lungs at tho
same moment, and had to resume his scat
in confusion. Erskine was always ex-
tremely sensitive to a lack of interest by
his audience. "Who can get on with
that wet blanket of n face of yours be-
fore him2' he said once to Garrow, who
was engaged with him in a cause. His
first speech in the house of lords was n
humiliating failure, owing to the action
Of Chatham, who, as a speaker began,
took up a pen and made a few notes as
if with the intention of replying; but
after listening a few moments he dashed
pen and paper upon the floor with a con-
temptuous smile. This indifference, real
or pretended, completely upset Erskine,
whose voice faltered; he struggled
through the remainder of his speech and
sank into his seat dispirited and shorn Of
his fame"
Burke was also extremely sensitive.
Selwyn relates that he rose on one occa-
sion to speak, holding a bundle of papers
in his hand, when a rough hewn country
member started up and said: Mr..
Speaker, l hope the honorable gentle
man does not mean to read that large
bundle of papers and to bore us with a
long speech into tho bargain" Burke
was so suffocated with rage as to be in
capable of speech, and rushed out of the
house. Never before" says Selwyn,
did l see the fable realized of a lion
put to flight by the braying of an ass

AS regards the teeth, it must be adj
mitted that in relation to the subject in
hand they literally and truly cut both
ways. In the complete set of thirty-two
there are twenty for grinding, eight for
biting and four for tearing. Grinding
teeth are required for animals which live
on grains and other hard vegetable sub
stances; biting teeth are necessary for
animals which nibble soft substances like
grasses and some fruits; tearing teeth
are essential for animals which actually
tear tough and resistant STRUCTURES, like
flesh, to pieces. In man the grinding
teeth largely ~preponderate; and how well
fitted these teeth are for grinding seeds,
grains, acorns and the like, the teeth of
our very old forefathers tell a significant
and true tale. In man the biting teeth
have a conspicuous place and a very de-
cisive function; with them, even to the
present, the skilled bitter can cut through
the finest thread, a feat equivalent to di-
viding the most delicate filament of food
fiber that grows from ths earth. The
teeth are vegetable weapons; they are
the best of weapons which the out and
out vegetarian can use; they assist him
both in practice and argument.
But then there remain those four tear
ing fangs, those canine or dogs teeth, so
firm, strong and savage. The canine or
tearing teeth stand put strikingly in
favor of the view that man is formed for
eating flesh; but it cannot be said by the
stanchest flesh eater that the flesh eating
tendency is the strongest altogether.
No; it is certain that the balance turns
fairly the other way. 1t may, however,
be argued that the very fact of the exist
ence of only four tearing teeth gives
countenance to the belief that nature has
supplied the human animal with fangs
for devouring animal flesh if he is obliged
or DESTROYS SO to do. This is true, but
only to a limited extent, because we now
know that eve the teeth, firm as they
are, become, by constant habit of life,
changed in form and character. The
canine tooth itself, even in the dog, has
been exceptionally SO modified from this
cause as to lead to a characteristic type
of structuresindicative of the influence of
manner of life on growth when extended
through many generations. Richardson
in Longman's Magazine.

The Denver Neios expresses a great
deal of unnecessary anxiety over the
alleged fact that the Cheyenne people are
suffering the pangs If thirst through the
absence of stimulanIs that are usual to
anti prohibition towns. We beg to assure
u contemporary that it is unnecessarily
wasting its sympathy. OF course a Dem

The Swine of Lincolnshire.

Old Lincoln has been famous from time immemorial for Is breed of pigs. and the fame which il had in the days when big. slow-feeding, heavy-headed. gaunt animals were the prevalent type. is undiminshed. in the present race of the shire. the Improved Lincoln The Lincoln of the present day is we'll formed animal of moderate size, yield ing excellent pork, and lattening up to high standard with marked and un- usual ease. Its skin is fine. and cover ed. sparsely. with fine. slender white bristles; it's ears are alert and rather erect; it's body round, and straight. and well drawn out.
 Probably the most choice specimens of latter-day Lincolns have been bred at Norihorpe. kirton-Lindsey, in the shire, aud thence came the animal which is the subject of our illustration. and he is splendid exponent of his blood, which flowed to him from Lin colnshire's best improved strains.
 In addition to it's fecundity and developing power. as considered apart from all other breeds, the Improved Lincoln takes kindly to certain crosses in fact. to almost alias it's prepo- tency is q strong trait. but notably to that with the Chinese stock. whose progeny. although of less ze than the Lincoln. reaches maturity more easily. and faster. upon limited rations. and, therefore is very economical animal for both fattener aud butcher.
