: {" ISN'T IT PRETTY ?"
Touching Story of Grandpa and His Little
 Dead Pet.

''tsn't it pretty ?" said 8 little old man as he wheeled baby carriage tc the place where reporter of the World was sitting in the Park yesterday.
 "It must be pretty said the reporter looking into the carriage, and seeing a tiny creature snugly nestling in downy nest, with its face covered with deli cate lace veil.
 The little old man was delighted, his little old chin went twit-a-twit-a-twee, and he chirped like bird. -4 ssThey- keep it's face covered, : he said, with. a4sigh, ''since the little white hearse drove away from the house the other day. But T."
 The little old man stopped and looked all round with his little twinkling eyes.
 "I will show it's face to you, sir, it's so very pretty"
 And the little old mans chin again went twit-a-twit-a-twee.
 ''They will be angry he continued ; 'sbut I'm so proud of it's pretty face that I must showit."
 Suddenly the little old man took the lace that covered the babys face in his trembling fingers, and the reporter pre- pared to burst into exclamations of de- light even if the face should prove to be the homeIiest in the world.
 Mustn't" little child said, coming from behind the bushes, and seizing the coat-tails of the little man. "Danpa mustn't. :"
 ''The flies will annoy Rose, :" 8 gentle girl of twelve said, joining the little group and carefully replacing the lace..
 Close observation showed tear trembling in the girls eye, as the little old man wheeled away the carriage with the little child dancing by his side.
 ''Oh, it's such deception P she ex- claimed, burying her face in her hand. ''Baby Rose died last week" she con- tinued, ''and we are afraid to tell grand pa, as his mind is weak and she was his idol so we put doll in the carriage, closely yelled, so he cannot see it's face, and let him wheel it around. But it's so deceptive" {
 Just then the little old man paused, left the little child with the carriage, and came back to where the girl was seated
 He put his face close to hers and vhis- pered:
 s'What was it" he asked, ''that they carried away in the little white hearse?"
 The poor girl turned away. her face
 "Flowers," she said, 'only flowers, grandpa"
 "I wonder," the little old man unused, ''why they all turn their faces away when they tell me what they carried away in the little white hearse."
 Then he went to the carriage again and chirped like the merry little old man that he was.
 Flowers, only flowers" 7" the reporter heard him murmur as he wheeled the doll aWay.-NeaO York World.

THE NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.
Two Cents Postage eRate-Preparations for
 the Change.

A circular was issued from the office of the Third Assistant Postmaster Gen eral officially notifying postmasters throughout the United States of the re- duction in the postage rates which is to take effect on the first of October, and directing them to make preparation for it. epostmasters are notified through | this circular that it is desirable to have as small 8 stock of the present three cent postage stamps and stamped envel- opes as possible on hand when the re
 duction of rates goes into effect, and they are accordingly directed to limit their acquisitions for stamps and envei. opes of this denomination to such quan- titles as upon careful estimate they may deem sufficient to last until the first of October. They are also instructed to take all available means, withoutincurring any expense, to call public attention to the reduction so that purchasers may not accumulate an unnecessary supply of three cent stamps and envelopes.
 The circular also directs that as no ar- engagements have yet been made for the redemption of the three cent stamps and envelopes in the hands of postmasters, or for the exchange by postmasters of those stamps and envelopes in the hands of private holders, until further notice postmasters will not make exchanges for the public nor return to the department the stock that remains on their hands however, notified that as the two and three cent stamps and envelopes of the present issue will continue to be valid after that date they must be accepted in payment of postage when offeredin proper amounts, and that the three cent stamps can be used in combination with other denominations on letters requiring more than one rate of postage and on parcels of third and fourth class matter.
 The circular also announces that the department will be ready to issue the two cent stamps of the new design on the 18th of September, but that these stamps and envelopes must not be placed on sale or used by postmasters before October l; also that no three cent stamps will be issued after Septe1h- Der IA unless the acquisition therefor is accompanied by statement that they are needed for immediate use and that the full supply called for will become exhausted by October l, and further that no three cent stamped envelopes will be issued after August 1 unless the requisition for them is accompanied by sinailer statement The circular fur. ther instructs the postmasters as to tho design for the new two cent and foul cent stamps and stamped envelopes, and notifies them that the prices of the en
 velopes Exclusive of postage) will re main the same as at present; that nc change will be made in the postage due" stamps, and that the rates on droI letters will remain the same as al | present.

The Color of Corn.

In recent bulletin of the New York Experiment Station, the director, Dr. Sturtevant, referred to the subject of the growth of corn plants from the seed. Among other things which he thought he had discovered was the reason why some spires appear of pale color, some yellow, and some nearly white. Every farmer must have noticed this fact as he looked over his fields to see the young corn appearing.
 I have noticed this same occurrence in corn, says Weekly IS2,ees correspond ent, and have frequently investigated it, going to the bottom of it and carefully digging up the seed. Every farmer knows how seeds are formed; that there is an eye, as some call it, as in beans or peas, or germ or chit, as may be seen in corn or wheat. Every farmer knows, that when seed-ima beans afford the best instance of it-are placed in unfav- orable positions--fat on the side, for insta'ice-the young plants have great difficulty in reaching the surface, and some never reach it, but die in the effort. And when the young plant does appear 1t comes up light in color and very weak. The same thing precisely happens with corn. The seed is dropped haphazard; in some cases it lies favorably for the chit or sprout to appear at the surface in the shortest time; in others it lies in the worst position for this, and the sprout winds around and takes quite as much time to get to the air. Then it is more fully de- veloped, the leaf perhaps has been formed, and by the longer imprisonment and the forced efforts to escape from the ground it appears weak, uniformed, and not colored; The effect is, of course, greater if in addition to the unfavorable position of the seed the soil is dry and hard or an obstacle is met with by the sprout in it's growth toward the light.
 All this have frequently noticed. but this season have been led to notice il more particularly. In planting corn fol experimental purposes, the seeds were numbered in each hill, and the number germinating has been noted, observa. tions being made morning and afternoon at six o'clock. Some few plants ap. peared yellow and weak, but this has invariably the effect of unfavorable posi- tion of the seed. In two or three cases the spire did not appear for more than g week, and the seeds were carefully dug up. In all these cases the sprout was found growing spirally under grouu6 unable to reach the surface, The seeds had fallen with the eye downward and the spire had started to grow on one side, and as the soil was moist and sof below the surface the spire had worked It's way there unable to pierce the harc dry crust above it because of it's misdi rection.
