THz LoUvRE-The fears now SO preva-
lent that the bombardment of Paris will
destroy the art treasures in that city, it Is
stated, viii be dispelled when il is known
that the palace of the louvre is situated
about three miles from the enciente or en-
circling wall. 1t is further mentioned thnt
the detached forts are from /, COO to 6,OOO
yards beyond the walls, and that the Ger
man army lies from one to three miles be-
yond the forts. It is believed that the
works of art will not suffer except in case
street lighting should commence, when in
jury might be done by rockets or hand
grenades. 1t is mentioned as a curious
circumstance in the history of art, that
pietores have suffered little by sieges in
modern times. The accidental FIRE in
which Titian's "Peter the Martyr" per.
ished, has. II is alleged. done more injury
to the art Of painting than all the warsl o
this century.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Shrinking OF Corn Measuring and
Weighing.


The overcoming question when to
sell farm produce whether to take pres
ent prices or wait for higher ones, taking
the chances of their being lower-should
not he decided without taking into con-
sideration the shrinkage. The Country
Gentleman has an interesting article on
Shrinkage in Corn in Drying, especially
because it gives the results of careful,
though very simple, experiments, to test
the amount of shrinkage in corn. OF
course the results in one year might be
much different from those in the succeed
ing year, owing to the difference in the
season. Much corn now, November /, is
dryer than much of last years crop two
months later.
In the experiments tried with last years
corn-of the common large eight rowed
variety-it was allowed to dry in the open
air until about January 1. At that time it
was taken from the crib and kept in dry
room until October 1, when it was found
to have lost one-fifth in bulk, or five BUSH
els at January 1, were only four October 1,
without making allowance for wastage by
rats, etc. 1t will be seen that 40 cents per
bushel at the first date would be equal to
so cents at the last, except the cost of
handling the additional weight. Another
point is mentioned by the Country Gentle
man in this connection-the well known
difficulty in satisfactorily selling corn in
the ear by measure. A half busbe, care
fully filed with moderate 1--WE should say
smalD sized ears was found to weigh "a
pounds, and to contain Sc ears; while,
when the ears were thrown in loosely, it
held but Al ears, weighing 10 pounds.
In regard to the shrinkage in weight,
the variation is widely different in different
ears, owing to the different amount of
moisture in the cob as well as the kernels.
In one experiment shelled corn taken in
January and placed in a room where there
was stove lost one-eight of its weight in
three weeks, after several morths the en-.
tire loss was one-sixth of the weight, and
one-seventh of the bulk.
From the various experiments our con-
temporary concludes 80 cents for corn in
the fall is equal to or better than s1.00 in
the following summer-In other words
prices must advance one. fourth TO make it
advisable to hold corn six to nine months,
and this makes no account of loss in other
ways or Of the use Of the money for this
time.

There's hush in the noise Of the plsyroom
Che laugh and the carol are still;
Have they left me. my own little darlfngs.
Sweet Kittie and miscLievous Will
Have they flown to the garden or highway,
In quest of some ewosderment SWEET
For hear not the quick restless patter
Jf their-yes, their eloquent feet.
That is surely the word to embody
The music mother may hesr,
As the footballs on threshold or stairway
Reach the heart through the listening ear
as peep through tho half-open curtains,
The breath OF blissful surprise
Stirs the pulses Of love in their fountains,
And tears MI my wondering eyes,
Little hazel-eyed viii in the corner
Is kneeling and whispering low,
so my Father who ruleth in Heaven
Please send us the beautiful snow;
While my sweet, patient Kittie is watching,
From her lookout. the large arm chair.
For the fall of the winters first snow fakes.
To answer their undoubtng prayer.
Still II comes not yet never shadow
Steal over wills bright sunny face,
While the watcher soon glides from her station,
And finds by his cushion place.
''Please. cur Father" dear Kittie is praying,
The Kingdom of Heaven is of such.l
"You will send us the snow, won't you. Father7
We wantit indeed. very much"
But the sun stoops behind the far hill tops,
The shadows grow heavy and deep.
''God will send down tbs snow. i ann certain"
VIII Whispers "when we are asleep"
With light hearts 10 the nursery chamber
Ny little ones silently crept
Surely God heard their trusting petition;
His messenger came while they slept.
For the morning woke regal In ermine.
And thrilled them with widest delight Imur,
1--WE will thank God-He heard u.s." they mur-
HE answered our prayers in the night.
All the lips of my babes have tanght wisdom.
No creed can be purer than this;
Trust God amid hfe's diss sppointm ents,
And thank him In moments Of bliss.
