rods from the field where common corn
is raised, and against the direction of
the prevailing wind. the danger Of mix
ing is very alight. Sweet corn is much
more desirable for cooking purposes
than the common varieties. It ID also
more nutritious II seed is planted once
q week from this time till midsummer,
a succession Of roasting ears can be
secured. Sweet corn is Q very desirable
crop to raise for cattle. The stalks are
small and the amount of foliage large.
The stalks and leaves contain almost as
large . proportion Of sugar as the grains.
Most kinds Of, stock will eat every por-
tion Of the plant above the roots. Sweet
corn is very valuable for converting into
ensilage. 1t is also one of the best kinds
of fodder to raise Tor mich COWS. It
should be extensively produced by dairy
men for supplying food for COWS during
the time that feed is short in the summer
or early part of the fall. If more il
raised than is wanted for this purpose it
can be cut up and placed in shocks and
used for feed in winter. IL is also a
desirable crop to raise to feed to hogs
during the early part of the fall before
the common corn is ripe. They will eat
every portion of it. .o13 Boa siT2 f.-g g q

ENGLISH HOTEL CLERKS.

I tried conclusions with hotel clerk
in city in England, writes Nasby, but
shall never do it again. I went to bed
at night with two candles on the mantel.
1t was bright moonlight, and, as I had
read my regular chapter in the Revised
Testament in the office, I had no occa-
sion for light. I simply wanted to get
into bed; therefore I didn't light the
candle at all.
The next morning found in my bill
a charge for two candles, shillings. I
protested.
81 used no candles" said.
''But they were there" was the cool
reply. perhaps you used matches
it is all the same"
A "But didn't use matches, and, if l
did, 1 had my own"
"We do everything for the comfort of
the guests of the house. There were
candles and matches for you.' ....
He never blrshed, but took the 2
shillings as coo1ly as possible, receipted
the bill, and said, "Thank you," and
hoped if 1 ever visited the place again
would call upon them.
1t reminded me of the man who built
tavern i'll Indiana. A traveller stopped
with him one night, and the next morn
ing asked for his bill.
"Twelve hundred and fifty dollars, :"
said the landlord, promptly.
"Twelve hundred and fifty dollars,
for one day! 1t is outrageous"
1t is little high," said the land
lord, "but I'll tell you how it is. I
opened this house exactly year ago
yesterday. L expected to make $1,000
the first year, and yon are the first Gus
toner I've had. ought to charge you
little more to cover insurance, but ]
like you and don t want to be hard on
you; 81 $50 will do"
have grated much against the Alner-
lean hotel clerk and his diamond pin
and cool insolence, but shall never do
it again. He is a babe compared with
his English brother.

UNITED STATES COINS.

Gold coins of all denominations are
legal tender for any amount. So are
silver dollars, except the trade dollar,
(Which, though seven and half grains
heavier than the standard dollar, is not
legal tender for any amount. Halves,
quarters and dimes are legal tender to
the amount of $40. Twenty-cent pieces,
half dunes and silver Scent pieces are
legal tender for amounts not exceeding
! S.. Nickel and copper coin from l cent
up to 5 are legal tender only to the
amount of 25 cents. A gold dollar
weighs twenty-five and eight-tenths
grains, and it will take about 223 gold
dollars to weigh pound. When a gold
coin Is reduced in weight by use or
otherwise more than II per cent, or is
in any way mntilated, it is no longer
legal tender, and will only be received
at the mint for it's value in bullion.
When gold coin is presented for pay
ment at the ub-treasury it is carefully
inspected, and if found below the re-
quircd weight it is stamped with the
word "Light" and returned to the de-
position. If he has been careful to note
of whom he received it he may recover
the amount for which he accepted it, or
he may send it to the mint, which will
return him whatever it is worth for re-
coinage. -.-... 60.
Tile standard dollars weigh each 42. 5
grains, which is about I'll pounds for
the weight of $1,000. The weight of
81, 900 in gold is Al pounds. One hum
dred dollars in gold weighs the same as
$50 new 81 greenbacks. Greenbacks
of larger denomination are little
heavier.
Silver is about fifteen and a half times
as heavy as gold, and about twenty eight
and third times as bulky in proportion
to It's value; or, in other words, dollars
worth Of silver is a little more than
twenty-eight times larger than dollars
worth of gold.
Our gold coins contain 900 parts of
pure gold and 100 parts of alloy; the
silver coin 900 parts of silver and 100
parts of alloy. The and cent nickel
coins are one-fourth nickel and three
fourths copper. The small cent is 95
parts copper and parts tin and zinc.
It is estimated that the gold dollar is
used by $4,000, 900 of people; the Brit
ish sovereign by 30, 600, 900; the French
franc by 100000; the silver dollar of
all countries by about 552, 600, ,OOo.-

CHEMISTRY.

Some time since the director of the
museum was granted leave to provide
himself with apparatus and chemicals in
order that he might make some expert
ments for the benefit of the club. Being
now called upon to report progress, he
came forward with his first experiment.
Taking up an egg, he explained its pro-
portions of lime, albumen and sugar,
and broke it into tin dish. He then
poured in a gill of whisky, and explained
that whisky was the juice of corn and
was principally used to tone up the sys-
tenn, prevent badness, cure lockjaw and
produce pleasant dreams. He grated in
little nutmeg, and explained that the
nuts couldn't grow in this country on
account of the weather fooling around
so much. Milk was added without com.
ment, and the mixture we'll shaken and
poured out in tumbler and handed te
Brother Gardner. he gulped it all down
with evident relish, and remarked that
he should hereafter encourage chemistry
with all his might.-Limae-KSl1a Club.

papermoney it may be brought by mail
in newspaper or letter, or in pack

fellow-traveler on a railroad, or from q
passer-by in the street, or from the cas-

the like, for months, and, perhaps, for
years. 1t respects no season of the
year and no spot on the earth. 1t visits
the tropics; it has slain its millions in
Mexico it nearly depopulated Green
land it reaches the mountain tops and
breaks out in mid-ocean; it has no fa-
vored localities; the whole earth is its
home. Its most frightful slaughter was
in the seventeenth and eighteenth cent
uries. But in those days there were no
railroads and no steam, and but little
commerce. no express companies, and
but little mail matter, and but very little
travel in any way. In these days OF
ceaseless intercourse and perpetual run
ming to and fro, if the disease were un-
checked as it was then, its ravages would
soon depopulate the whole civilized
world; and perhaps this proposition
would remain true if the word civilized
were stricken out, for it is well-estab-
ished fact that the dark-skinned races
are much more susceptible of it than the
whites, and are also much more likely to
die from its effects.
