"A GREAT ANIMAL"
Wonderful Orator Seemed Half Asleep
When Trying a Case.


When Trying Case.
Il heard him once in Faneuil hall,
Boston. Every man In the audience
and the hall was crowded-gave one
shout OF applause at what Everett
said. The subject I have entirely for
gotten, but this fact remember"
says writer in the Critic. l inquir-
ed If he had ever heard Webster pro-
duce such an effect on an audience.
He said never; but he had only heard
Webster in court; 1t was in defense Of
a celebrated criminal--perhaps the
Phoenix bank cose in Boston. "Mr.
webster seemed In a semi-dream. l
thought him half asleep, for he had
his eyes almost closed and was in a
heavy state, taking little notice of
what went on in court. William De-
hon, brisk young man, sat near him
and furnished him with law books and
papers and acted as II he we're there
to keep Webster awake. There were
three judges on the bench-probably
Judge Shaw and two others-one on
each side OF him. They watched Web.
ster closely, for 1t would not do to
neglect what he might say. He, on
the contrary, appeared to take no ac-
count OF other persons, as II his mind
were anywhere but there. I fancied
he was thinking what his next politi-
cal move should be. He was re-
markable man to look at-far other
than the ordinary run Of men-I sup
pose the most remarkable American in
his aspect that ever was seen. They
thought SO in England, where they
stopped to look after him In the street.
But he was heavy-a great animal, In
volved In his own dreams and paying
little attention to what went on
around him."

The Life of the Soil.

Every time crops are hauled away Off
the farm, life is hauled away from the
soil, and the farm loses in value. Even
hauling away hay and straw is pretty
nearlyjas bad; and the old-time way OF
burning straw is worse.
knew an eccentric man once who
would not even have his fruit gathered
and made use of, because he said it
was due to the earth to return to her
what she had taken the trouble to pro-
duce.
The Indian to-day, who fights against
civilization, says, "Grass-mother
Earth hair 1 not cut mother hair.
Earth-mothcr breast. l not plow
mother breast!''
But to get value from the farm, some-
thing must be shipped. The question
Is, what shall that be, to be the most
advantageous?
The answer, according to friend Of
mine, is ''That which will take the
least value from the soil. and which
Will be the most easily replaced. To
this end the value must be In the most
concentrated form"
Clearly, meat stuffs; cream and eggs
are highly concentrated products. or
course the cost OF production and the
market values have to be considered in
making the selection.
Everything raised on the farm (what
Is not wanted for the family larder),
can be turned into these crops. More
money can be made of them than Off
other things. When you haul them
away, you leave the bulk of the life
OF the soil behind. Live weight and
cream weight have so little bulk. COM
paratively, and the small extraction of
fertility can be replaced at small cost.
The skim milk occupies correspond
ing place to the cream, that the per-
manent pasture does of the live stock,
when It goes eventually to the cattle
dealer.
A Government bulletin makes skim"
worth from fifteen TO thirty-five cents

to poultry 1t is easily worth from thir-
ty-fivc to fifty cents.-L. A. N, in In

A MIDNIGHT PERIL.
Ely M. QUAD.

BY M. QUAD.
Now and then when the geological
Gardens lost a bird or animal that was
desirable Of preservation for the mu-
scum, was sent for as a taxidermlst
to do the work, and a room was set
aside for me to work in. Sometimes
managed alone as with a bird or
small animal, and sometimes I had
the help of a hand or two.
I had been going to the gardens in
a professional capacity for three years
when I met Binks. He was a young
man of eighteen or twenty, and a half
wit. He had neither home nor friends,
and no one knew where he came from,
the place and assist the keepers for his
board. He had been there about a
month when I saw him. He was a
butt of ridicule, and some of the keep
ers were treating him harshly. He had
been severely euffed by one of them
just before being sent to me, and was
crying over it Ike a girl. Sympa-
thized with him and braced him up by
giving him the first coin he had had
in a year, and we two soon got on
good terms.
About six weeks after my first meet
ing with Binks was sent for to pre-
serve the carcass of a buffalo, and the
lad was ordered to assist me. It was
in winter time and the weather very
cold. The buffalo had been ailing for
a week or two, and had died at night
in a shed and his body froze as hard
as iron. Binks and I had to thaw 1t
out before we could start at the real
work, and so it occurred that we work
ed until a late evening hour before
was ready to go. 1t was after 10 o'clock
when began to wash up, and I looked
around to find the boy curled up on
some blankets and evidently asleep. AS
it was a, room heated with steam pipes
I decided not to disturb him.

their rounds every three hours. be-

while Binks was in and out of the
place four or five times. I had no
recollection of seeing him near the
locked door. however. He was SEEM
ingly asleep, as I said. and I was
washing my hands preparatory to
taking my departure, when low
growl behind me made my hair stand
up. I turned to find a male Bengal
tiger on the far side of the carcass
of the buffalo and between me and
the animal house door. The door. as
I afterwards found out, was a swing
door, and opened without noise after
being unlocked, and shut itself with
a spring. No one but Binks could
have unlocked it.
The tiger was looking me full in
the eyes as I turned, and it seemed
as If 1 turned to stone. 1 must have
breathed, but I was not conscious of
it. The beast had somehow escaped
from its cage in the animal house,

him to my room. He did not have
