WEBSTER    "A    GREAT    ANIMAL."
Wonderful Orator Seemed Half Asleep When Trying a Case. "I hoard him once In Fancull hall, floston. Kvrry man in the, audience— and the hall was crowded—gave one ehoiit of applause at what Everett Bald. The .subject I have entirely for- Rotten, but tills fact I remember," «ays a writer in the Critic. I Inqulr oil if ho bad ever heard Webster pro¬ duce such an effect on an audience. He said never; but he had only heard Webster lu court; it was in defense of a rolebratoil criminal—perhaps the I'haoiiix bank cose in Doston. "Mr Webster seemed In a seml-dream. I • bought .hlm half asleep, for he had his eyes almost closed and was in a heavy state, talilnft ilitle notice of what went on in court. William De- hon. a brisk younit man. sat near him and furnished him wilh law books and papers ami acied as if he were there to keep Webster awake. There were three judires on Iho bench-rprobably •ludgo Shaw and two others—one on eaob side of nim. They watched Web stor closely, for it would not do to nexleot what he midht say. He, on liie contrary, appeared lo lake no ac count nf iilher persons, as if his mlmi woi-e anvwhere but there. I fancioii lie was 'hiiiliing what his next politi till nrnve sbould be. He was a re marka'ile man to look at—far other lhan llK^ ordinary run of men—I s'.i|. iioso ibi' most remarkable American In his aspect that ever was seen. Tbey iliouBbt so in England, where they stopped to look after him in the street. Itu! he was heavy—a Kreat animal, in volved in Ills own dreams ami payinK lilllo iittontion to what went on around him."
Why They Waited.
Two voiinK men. not much e.\perl ?nced in drivitiK. went f^ir a drive riuring the ride th'? ^Ijorse haiipenod ;o yawn and ihe bli fell out of hi! oioulh. Two hours later iinolher man passed thc-n and discovered both ol Ihe young nun waltirs with Ibeli ron veyance by th.^ roadside.
"What on oarlh Is tho matter with vou? 1 passed you whon 1 was going out nnd now when I come hack you're still hero.    What's the mailer?"
"Oh." rrplied one of the young men "we're wall ini? for Ihe horse to yawn again to we can pul the bit In."
What Was Neeaea.
Juilpo Henry Bnsworth. of Pprlng field. Mass , is very (ond of young peo |i!o; but he is uot blind lo Iheir faults Whon the city was considering eslab- llshing a curfew law which would call thi' youug people off Ihe streets at an larly hour. Judge Bosworth's opinion «H.-   ought;
¦ Well, gentlemen.' said the good ludge. in bis slow, deliberate way, "I ,lon t think we need a bell lo get the hoys and gills (In nl night half to tiiiicli as we rio a bell tt get 'em up In the morning."

Do YOUR Children
ASK
QUESTIONS?
Of course they do. It is their way of Icaruiiig imd it is your duty to answer. Vou may need s dic¬ tionary to aid you. It won't an¬ swer every question, but there are thousands to which it will gire you true, clear nnd definite answers, not about words only, bnt about things, tho sun, maohinery, men, places, stories and the like. Tben, too, tiio children can find their own unswors. Some of our greatest men havo ascribed their power to study uf the dictionary.
Of (X>ttrse you want the beet dic¬ tionary. The most critical prefer the New and Enlarged Edition of

"I've beeu thiukiug of something." Gertrude began. "Let's pocket our pride, as we can't .ilTord an expensive trip, nnd go as we can. I am sure Ihere are places where we could set n cheap furnished or unfurnished room. aud we could prepare our food ou n little oil stove or a rliafliig disb. Our living expenses would then be no more tliuii Ihey are at lioiue.'
"Our railroad expenses might be something." snapped Fanny.
"They would be almost iiothliig at nil," answered Gertrude. "We could ride our wheels. We need not stay In nny one place very long. We could do like the gypsies—move on wiieii we llred of one location.'
The plan won the approval of .S.ir.'ib, the eldest sister nnd liousekeeper. She agreed that tbey might try it for a aeasidi' town not more than twenty- five mills nway. It tiie iiPcessary ipiarlers could not bo obtained there, tlie girls could return lioiue iminedl- ntely on llie train or remain at a hotel until tiie following day. Such nn ex¬ penditure would not seriously Incoii- venlfncc the family purse.
Tlie summer ride over twenty-five iliiies of country roads proved a de¬ lightful one. 'The day was almost done when they reached their destlua- tiou. Tliey made tbelr way to Ih? less frcfiuented part of th.i town, and Imd uo difllcully In renting a Inrge rooiu for flv? dollars n week, tbe landlady, wben the case wns explained to her, niakliiK no objection to the number of occupants.
.V teiegiani was sent to summon Sarah, who hnd remained at home, nnd then the tired party mnde the best possible division of the bed furnish¬ ings. Gertrude prepared a couch on llii» floor with n comfort aud a pillow, while Ada nnd Fnnny occupied the bed.
Supper hnd beeu bought nt n deli catesseu shop, nnd their morning inenl wns sei ured f n in tiie baker nnd milk¬ man.

I,Iilher Iliirbank. Ill'' famous Califor¬ nia bortiiniturisl. declares that tbe grent object nnd aim of lilf life is to npplv to the Irnining of children those sciei'itiflc Ideas which he has so suc¬ cessfully emiiloyed in working trans- fornmlions lu plant life.
Tlie Iliv, Dr. .lames W. I.ee. pastor of Sl. .Iidin's Southern Methodist fliurili. returned to St. IaiuIs from a trip to Santa Hosa. Cal. whither be went for an interview witll Mr. Bur- bank, lie said to Mr. Hiui.iink that bo had referriHl lo bis work in an address at rorlliiiid. Ore., and had expressed the wish that lie might intrwluce into the method of rearing children some of the scientlll'- Ideas that he wns ap¬ plying every day to the improvement of plants. Hr.

Mr. Hurbank dednred tbnt iilanls, weeds nnd trees wire re¬ sponsive to n few Iutluences in their eiivironnient. but thnt children were Inllnilely inure responsive, nnd the fail¬ ure lo recognize the spiritual elements ill the environing ciuiditions ot cliil¬ dren had bwn the fntnl lack in deal¬ ing with them.
Dr. I.ce asked Mr. Hurbank If he was familiar wilb Ihe works of Thom¬ as J.

I. The temptation. These Toung men were confronted with a powerflil temptatiou. A desire to obey the king'l commuudment, love uf i>opuiarlty, ap¬ petite, u desire to succeed—the«e wer* strong attructiouH. They were slave* lu a strauge iuiid, nud was It not uecaa- sary to fuil iu with the customs of tli* people? They were tempted tl) to do that which was degruding; ci) to dta- obey the biw of Ibeir God; (3) to deny their reiigiuus and Uod and fall ill with Idolatrous worshlii.
II. Tbe teiuptutiun resisted (v. 8). S. "Purposed In bis lieurl." Ue de¬ cided what he would do and theu took the wisust possible way lu accuiupiiik H. At Ilrst he made unly a simple re- (lucst. It wns not puliiicnl strategy; bis actions were not pluniiud to catch the eyes of the king. The Urst emollon of his heart wus loyally to Gud; this led to his resolution. Daniel did uot trifle with God or hla eonsclenee. TUey chauged his iiume, but could not change hU nature. "Would nut deHl* himself." The Hebrew who ale with¬ out redrlctlou ul Nebuchadneuar's table could not but dcfllc hiiuself. ".Nor with Hie wine." He feared tho degrndutiou which would follow from wine drinking.

He does not poal- lively refuse the fnvor which Daniel seeks. This nppeai by Ashpenai wal V(>ry persuasive; and wblle llnuiel did not wlsli to imiierij the life of his ben¬ efactor, yet he felt Ihat 11 was safe to do ri(ht aud thai God would deliver them.

13. "Then -den 1 wilb ihy servants." These words were siioken with ijulet couUdeuce ns to Ihe result. .\ number of other boys besides these four wero undergoing the sniuo ttnining. A fair test, to plHiv these youug ubstuliiero beside those who pnrlook of the royal bamiuels, and see which company pre- leuted the most vigorous apiiearance. U. "Ten days."

Whatever we may give to God of fnllh, or work, or trust; or love, or r.eal. He gives bnck ngalu (Vilh large interest, good measure, pressed down and shaken together and 'unning over—ten, twenty, thirty, sixty or an hundred fold. In whatever wa . need most from Him. "In all learn¬ ing." "In science, astronomy. Iltera- lure. philosiipby. the Chaldeans stood It this time ut the bead of the world. Fhey had the lieglunlnga of cheiulstry ind even of the telescope."
