Philadelphia had an exciting tragedy or
Monday. Emma Sperry had grown up
among the employees OF DIsston's manu-.
featuring establishment, and at Is was re-
garded as the prettlest and most engaging
other generation. At that age she married
William Bickel, but within three years
deserted HIM and eloped with William j.
Menow, and Blckel obtained divorce.
Menew treated her badly, refused to marry
her. and tantlized her by his familiarity
with other women. On Monday evening
Emma took her seat inside of window
fronting on the street and watched for
Menow. As he passed she shot him dead.
She went out and examined him closely
ana began to cry; but to the crowd that
soon gathered she said, I'm not crying
because l shot him, but because I'm afraid
my aim was not good" The man was
dead enough, however, and the woman was
led away by the officers.

The Leaning Variety of Corn.

j. 5. Leaning, c0rn-groWer OF SKY
years experience, tells the story OF how be
brought TO perfection the variety of corn
bearing his name, as follows: We have
always praciiced the plan Of gong into
the field, selecting, as soon as the earliest
husks show any sign of rlpening, stripping
the husk ana hanging up in open sheds
and drying. We have followed it for TIE
last thirty years, and by so doing have
made what we and others think excellent
improvements IN corn. We claim by such
annual selections to have established the
following characteristics: A pure, fixed
and distinct variety, rich orange in color
caring low on short, heavy stalk, not ex-
ceedlng seven Or eight feet, tapering
from the root to the top; suckering but
little. the suckers bearing ears; main stalk
bearing from one to two ears each, nc bar
rem stalks at all; the ear OF uniform size
granting well over the tips and around the
stems; all full ears having from twenty to
thirty rows of deep, square grains, with
forty to fifty in each row, with remark
ably deep hearts, enclosing strong and
healthy germs, hence unequaled for feed
ing stock; cnuures drouth and wet seasons
better, and ripens earlier than any other OF
the Dent varieties, maturing In from lOl
to 1870 days dry enough to CRIB; weighs
shelled struck measure, sixty to sixty
three pounds per bushel; yielding IN gooc
soil, with proper culture and favorable
seasons from seventy to one hundred anC
twenty bushels per acre.
