NO CORN WITHOUT FERTILI-
ZATION BY THE POLLEN.

When I resided In Brooklyn I
planted few hills of corn in the
back yard, where 7 felt assured that
the growing stalks would be far be
yond the reach of the. pollen from
any other corn, as there was not an
orher hill of corn probably, within half
a mile of my residence. As soon as
the tassel began to appear, even be-
fore the tophad risen out of the sheath
Of leaves, everything that belonged
to it was cut off, A knife was run
down into the sheath in order to
make clean work. The stalks and
ears continued to grow until they
had attained the usual size. The silk
unfolded as is usual; but there was
no grain on any Of the ears except
one, which bore four smnll kernels.
The experiment proved conclusively
that in order to complete fructifca-
ton the pollen must fall on the silk
at the period in the growth Of the
corn when fertilization can be effect
ed. After these four kernels had
matured fully the ear was broken
from the stalk, the kernels shelled off
the cob and were planted in flower
pot in damp soil, place favorable
Tor termination. Only one kernel
terminated. The others decayed,
which showed that they were not
perfect kernels. The females of
oViporous animals will produce eggs
that may not have been fertilized by
the male; but it appears that we can
not expect crop of grain unless the
pollen performs its appropriate infu-
ence in fertilization.--S. e. TODD,

ANOTHER CURRANT CUES
TION.

In February last I, the Doctor,
answered a little girls question, who
wished to know what the dried cur
rants of the stores were. Now it is
Miss Amy, down in Nova Scotia, who
wishes to know why our garden
currants, which do not come from
Corinth at all are called currants.
Don't I wish / could tell her. Tits
probably because of a resemblance
of the two in size and shape (when
the store currants are fresh), but /
am not sure. / can not find in my
library any book that tells when and
why the name was given. My Oldest
book about plants is dated 1910, and
and they were called catrraaas then;
but the author says that in some
parts of England the currant is call
ed goz7e, which sounds like Anglo
Saxon name. If we wished to
know why the early inhabitants of
Britain called the fruit "gozel" we
should be equally puzzled. The
study of names is a very interesting
one, and I like to see young people
wish TO know all they can about
them: We can learn much about
the origin of names, but however
far back name may be traced, there
is a point beyond which wepn can not
60. We can learn that most Of the
words we now use were originally
Anglo-Saxon, or from the Latin,
French, and other languages, but
why the names in these languages
were given to particular things not
SO easy to discover. The use of
sounds to signify things began long
before the sounds were expressed in
writing, and the early history of Ian
guage is very obscure. hope the
Nova Scotia Miss wifi get a more
satisfactory answer to her next ques-
ton, and should she find out anything
more about this one I hope she will
let us all Observation-Disclosures.

CAUSE OF TYPHOID FEVER.

Professor J. Buchanan recently discovered
microscopic fungus in water, which was
suspected of developing cases of typhoid fe-
yer. The main points of his Investigation

Buchanan examined the spout of pump
which had supplied water to a family attack.
ed by typhoid. 1t was found to be lined
with gelatinous matter. Under the micro
scope this substance was seen to contain
some elegant branched contervoil of fungoid
growths, intermixed with which were minnie
avoid cells. AS the fungoids require nitro
gentor their nourishment. the auth or inferred
that theyz came Z from some neighboring
cess-pool. On examination he found in the
exit-draain Of the town sewerage bits OF
sticks, leaves of water plants, and the like,
covered with this same gelatinous matter.
He next detected this fungus in water used
by his own family, some of whom were severe
~ attacked with typhoid fever a defective
drain near the dwelling having been set t.
rights, and all the water pumped. out. tn,
water has been Of excellent pur ity HAVING
cited other cases, Professor Buchanan remark
that il would be difficult to determine how
the supposed action takes place. but it ia a
least conceivable that the spores othe fungu
may get into the circulation, and bring abou

in the view that, being present, it is highly dan

PTYMOTJTH ROCK FOWLS.

IL
This breed of fowls is comparative
lynew in the West, but in my oplnT1
ion is destined to eventually be the
most popular Of all the improved va
rieties, always excepting the well
known and incompatible light Brah-
mas. but the Plymouth Rocks have
as many distinct excellencies as the
Light Brahmas, and Of different
kind. The origin Of the breed is al
so. like the Light Brahma, a matter
Of dispute and doubt, but it matters
little to us who first introduced or
bred either variety. They have
stood the severest tests of climate
and have proved themselves to be as
worthy Of perpetuation as the best Of
the older varieties.
The Plymouth Rock is, SO far as
known, cross between the old tash-
toned American Dominique and
Black Java, breed now almost, it
not quite extinct in shis country. The
Dominique in this, as IN other cases,
colors the progeny; SO in Gcolor the
Plymouth Rock is a pure Dominique,
has the SINGLE como of Java, also the
yellow legs, without feathers. The
tail is about the size of the Brah-
mas, the breast very full, carriage,
lively, and motion quick and grace
full. They are larger than the ordi-
nary barnyard fowl, cocks weighing
from eightto nine pounds, and hens
five to eight pounds.
The flesh is short grained, juicy
and tender; in fact, they are a fine
table bird. The hens are good lay
ers, good settlers and mothers, and do
not want to set so often as the Coch
in or Brahma.AlI of these qualities in
connection with their ability to with
stand the climatic changes of the
North and West, make them particu
larly the farmers. fowl. They are
moderate eaters and good foragers,
but are quite contented when confne
ed. For the Western farmer, the
Plymouth Rock, in my opinion, is far
superior to any of the'French breeds,
being harder, as good a table bird,
and not so troublesome and liable to
diseases. have bred both and have
discarded the French entirely, as not
so well suited to the wants of the
farmer, or people generally. In the
eastern states the Plymouth Rock is
growing favorite, and many breed
ers are discarding all other varieties,
breeding Them exclusively, believing
them to be the coming fowl" as
their many excellencies justly entitle
them to be.-Fdrpaer's Union.

FIT. MADISON, Iowa, May 81, 1874.
In many places through the United States
and Mexico, there have been found mounds
filled with the remains of former inhabitants
OF this continent, showing some evidence
of ancient civilization, and as their origin
is unknown they are called ''The Race of
Meund-Builders In company with others
we had the pleasure of visiting one of these
mounds recently discovered some six miles
from this place, on the property of j Myers.
The mound is about thirty feet long, fifteen
feet Wide, and five to six feet high. The
floor is of smooth, fat limestone, the walls
and roof of the same material, and all seems
formerly to have been closely put together.
The walls and roof in many places have cav
ed in SO that it is difficult to get the exac
hight of the vault, but should Judge that 1t
was originally abouG forty inches. The vault
was filled with human skeletons, bones of
animals and birds, flints and curious-shaped
stones, also some charred wood, which seems
to have been used in their funeral rites In
honor of the dead. The skeletons were all
in sitting position, with the legs drawn up
and the head resting on the knees. Their
arms were either by the side or clasped
around the legs. There is no way OF telling
now long they have lain here, but no doubt
they are great many centuries old.

Sweet soul, 1 think of thee

Even than it's went, shone vi it'll thy spirits light,
The while we sought to prove
Which better Ike ps and cheers peoples hopes,

"And loP' said, ''besde
This servants right hand, on this church's wall,
To quicken Thought and Work the words look down.
As sunbeams cheer the sod"

But had the fiding glory of that day
Been as Gods voice which saitn
To startled hearts: "Choose ye messenger,
One without spot or blemish, fit to bear
And be first fruits to me,
Hearing had they turned quickly TO OBEY,
who had not turned to thee?
Go thou most sweet most rare!
Another's life were GONE,
Gone from our vision but while thou art there,
Still art thou here; thy grace, thy gentleness,
I'by love, The marvellous sweetness of thy face,
Thy courteous sympathy;
Graces and virtues which in thee were one
Heaven suffers not to die.
Quick in our hearts thou art
Already rooted an undying joy,

Deep gref is ours, but deeper gratitude
Beside, that we have known a soul SO good!
Sweeter shall all things be;
