Interrupted Table Talk.

The other evening the Rev. Mr..
Philacter sat down at the tea table
with very thoughtful air, and atend-
ed to the wants of his brood in a
very distracted manner. Presently
he looked up to his wife and said.
'The Apostle Paul

above the ear, an dropped me Hurt?

dismal but expressive pantomine as
he tenderly rubbed large lump

blue flowers. She's going to Chicago
The good minister waited patient
ly and then in tones just a shade
louder than before, said:
'The Apostle Paul
'Went in swimming last night with
Harry and Ben, pop, aud stepped on

son ; cut my foot SO I can't wear my
shoe; and please, cant l stay home

The pastor informed his son that he
might stay from the river, and then
resumed his topic. He said
The Apostle Paal says
'My teacher is an awful liar

the father resumed:

reproving the assault of his little
brother on a piece of cake. The

decided tones:

Com starch is manufactured by

Com starch is manufactured by
sleeping the corn in water, at a tenn
psrature Of from 100 to l40o F., for
about week, changing the water at
le ist once in twenty>four hours, A
Certain amount of acid fermentation
is thus produced, causing the starch
and refuse of the corn to be easily
separated afterwards. The swollen
corn is ground to a current OF clear,
soft water, and the pulp passed
through sleeves with the water into
watts. In these the starch gradually
settles to the bottom, the clear water
is then run off by tap, and the starch
gathered and dried in proper apart
ment for tho purpose.

the grasshopper. Every man here
knows of the operations of the wire-
worms and grubs, What surprises
me is that we know so little of the
habits and life of our very worst en-.
emies One form ofinsect life would
eventually destroy human life if not
held in allegiance by another grade
ofinsects. Bow many farmers can
say intelligsntly.: "This insect is my
friend, this my enemy" How many
can tell of the laws of the grub or
the loeustP ! have made point for
several years past of going to Al
bany to get appropriations for two
classes of men who are most poorly
paid--our botanists and entomslogists
Some farmers are surprised at this,
and inquire, "What is the use of bug
ology'?' and "What do we want of
dried leaves 2" They give US knowl-
edge of our enemies, SO that we may
contend with them successfully.
When I ask Oneida farmers "From
what do the wire. worms come?"they
cannot tell me, but they say they are
great pests, etc. Suppose you neigh
bors should trespass upon your lands
how long would it be before you
would seek out q lawyer, and find
the law upon the subject of trespass,
and direct the attorney to commence
suits which may last the whole of
your lives ? No man ever had a
o neighbor who trespassed as much
as the thousand of insect enemies of
which speak. How few say they
will take the law on them, although
these pests are governed by fixed
natural laws. TO the farmers of
Lewis county will say, 10 addition
to mechanical skill and improved i'm
plements, you should seek for broad
or knowledge and culture, and more
perfect acquaintance with the things
which pertain to your daily life. Ii
true to yourself, you will seek to
place your position On higher ground
then has been occupied yet. The
world is full of life, and 1t is matter
Of universal interest that teaches Us
that there is no such thing as death,
no matter how many changes are un-
dergone.
Gov. Seymour concluded his re-
marks by extolling the merits of the
men who made their living from the
tilling of the soil; by warning young
men OF the country of their errors in
believing that city life has more at
fractions and promises of success
than tan be found at homo, and urg-
irg Oh am to devote as much time ss
possible to increasing their store of
klowl edge, so as to benefit them
selves aud their fellow men.

We are wagiug war on Europe as
other countries are doing, but in u
different way. Ours is II peaceful
struggle, but we are taking year
after year over three hundred thous-
and prisoners TO give US now life, new
blood, and new strength. No other
people on the globe have taken ad.
vantage of the aid of machinery in
all branches of labor as we have. All
our people are ingenius and expert.
As Mr. Conkling well said, one of the
greatest questions 70 bs solved is
oan we send across the broad Allan
tic and put down in the docks of the
European ports the products of our
soil AZ cheaply as they can be put
there by other countries nearer by

Mr.. Fl. A. Perkins, one of the founders
Of the Sioux City journal, is a candidate
for reelection to the Office Of state binder
of Iowa. He has held the position during
one term, and nearly the whole time has
been an invalid, notwithstanding which he
has performed his public duty faithfully and
well, with a conscientious desire to give the
people of Iowa the full value of Their
money. Mr.. Perkins has done a great deal
for the northwest portion of his state-no,
only in disseminating sound political prin-
ciples, but in inducing settlement and en-
couraging improvement. He has earned
the right Il ask and receive a favor at the
hands of Iowans, and if they have a due
appreciation of his labors, they will give
him the position of state binder without q
dissenting voice.
