iu.e ten P sidrnta If the United
States weie called from harms
% Washington, the laud surveyor
and former, from Mount Vernon,
e. John Adams, Of Quincy, who,
during the last year Of his Presidency,
said; ~ am weary, worn, and dis
gusted to death. / had rather chop
w cd, zig bitches, make fences upon
my poor, little farm, Alasi poor farm,
and poorer family, what have you lost
that your country might be free!"
8. Jefferson, farmer, philosopher, and
statesman, from Monticello. 4. Madi-
son, farmer and lawyer, OF Montpelier,
Va. s. Monroe, from Oak Hill, Va.
6, John Quincy Adams, from the
Quincy farm Of 100 acres, near Boston.
CIT is said that most OF the trees were
raised by John Quincy Adams, from
the seeds which he was in the habit of
picking up in his wanderings. The
most peculiar interest attaches to a
shellbark hickory which he planted
more than fifty years previous to his
death. In this tree he took peculiar
satisfaction, but he was an enthusiast
in regard to all the trees OF the forest,
differing in this respect from his faith
er, who was an agriculturist of the
Cato stamp,-was more inclined to lay
the axe to them than to propagate
them.''
z. Andrew Jackson, OF the "Hermi-
tage" in Tennessee, who as farm er sol
diar, and lawyer, was most excellent
type of the best Americanism. s. Van
Buren,, OF Undertook. N. Y, was
called to the Presidency from his
sheep and wool fam, although he was
a lawyer of far above average acquire.
ments and ability. 9. William Henry
Harrison, from his farm at North
Bend, Ohio. 10. Tyler, of Sherwood
Forest Farm, Virginia, where he sub
sequently died. IL. James K. Polk, OIL
Duck River, Tennessee, also came
from the farm to the Presidency.
This selection Of Presidents from
rural homes-from among the farms
of the country-illustrates the feet
that in those days there was no prtfes
sion or calling which held a more ex
allied position in public estimation
than that Of Agriculture.-SecretarS

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES IN FIERCE.
NESS AND STRENGTH.-Tt is the opinion
OF tanners that the tiger is more to be
feared than lion. One will kill
man with as much ease as the other
but the lion gives fair warning OF his
murderous intention by rushing at his
victim with a roar, whereas the tiger,
true representative OF the cat tribe,
comes sneaking up with the semblsnce
of an affectionate purr. only to set his
fangs,with sudden spring, into the very
life of his victim. The lion has some
what greater muscular power than the
tiger, but the latter has greater quick
ness In intelligence they are about
equal.
II lion and strong horse were to
pull in opposite directions, the horse
would pull the lion backward with
comparative ease but If the lion were
hitched behind the horse and facing in
the same direction, and were allowed
to exeSt his strength in backing, he
could easily pull the horse down upon
his launches, or drag him across the
ring, SO much greater is his strength
when exerted backward from the hind
legs than in forward pulling. A lion
springing through the air from a dis
lance of six feet would knock down a
horse or bullock with single blow OF
his fore arm, backed by the moment
um Of his three hundred pounds
weight A full grown lion in the jun
giles will jump twenty-five or thirty
feet on the level from running start.
10 captivity the same lion would clear
distance about half as great. A lion
can jump over fence eight or ten feet
high, but not at bound. He catches
Fl ct with his fore legs and drags his
1
body after him. l have repeatedly
watched the lion Yellow Prince jump
over the tigers with bound which
,ould have cleared an obstacle four or
five feet above the floor. Tigers will
jump trife higher than this. But oil
all wild ANIMALS the leopards are the
greatest jumpers, being able to hurl
their 1.-THE and beautiful bodies, curled
up almost into ball, extraordinary
bciShts They bound with ease, for
instance, from the floor of the cage SC
as to touch ceiling twelve feet high
For a short distance lion or tiger
can outrun man and can equal the
speed OF fast horse, but they lose
their wind at the end Of half mile al
the most They have little endurance
and are remarkably weak in lung
power. Their strength is the kind
which is capable Of terrific effort ioi
short time. 1t would take six meu
to hold lion down, even after his legs
were tied so that he could not use his
paws.-From an article on Wild Beast,
an Captivity" by Cleveland Mo6et, IN
McClure's Magazine for June.

Senator German and his followers

Senator German and his followers
have gained complete triumph over
President Cleveland and the admins
tration in the fight over the senate
tariff bill. On Monday in caucus the
Democratic house agreed to legislate on
the corrupt, monopoly-catering tariff
measure as it passed the senate, and
if there is any tariff legislation enacted
by this congress at all it will be this
bill, which in ClevelandAs own words
is tainted with perfdy and dishonor."
1t will be a bitter pill for the presi-
dent to sign this measure, after the
course he has pursued.
