lie Had 10 Corn.

A resident Of this city had corn on
the middle toe of his left foot, which had
bothered him greatly for many years.
One morning he could bear it no longer
and adopted unique and sudden method
of getting rid OF il.
He obtained a rifle and fastened il
firmly, muzzle downward, on a board set
for the purpose. Then he laid board
down under it and fired it twice. The
bullet entering the board at exactly the
same point each time convinced him that
the rifle was firmly fixed and properly
adjusted, and his next move was TO place
his bare foot Oh the board SO that the
corn on his toe came directly over the
bullet hole.
This matter being arranged TO his sat
isfaction. he got friend. who was pres
ent during the preliminary operations. to
pull the trigger. The result fully equaled
if it did not exceed his expectations
The bullet went through his toe and car
ried the corn with it, leaving large
ragged hole. which will be quito likely
to give him as much trouble as did the
corn.
He refused to have q physician and
says O bullet hole is better than = corn
any day.-Concord Moniteg.

ROYAL pinners in England.

The royal dinner parties of England
are the most formal and studied in the
world. To beginners they become a
frghtful ordeal. and they rarely ut the
end can tell what the meal consisted Of;
10 old stagers they are a frightful bore.
The noviccs are expected TO arrive early
50 as to be posted by Sir Henry Ponsonby
in court etiquette. The queen usually
receives her guests for afternoon tea in
her own sitting room. and remains a
short time with them chatting on light
subjects; then they are permitted TO
wander over the castle or stay in their
rooms till dinner time, which is at 0.
She saws few words to each guest as
she enters the dining room, and then
leads the way TO the table. Ii always
seems so discourteous for no one to step
up and offer the old lady his arm, but it
would require aA equal in rank to do so,
and she enters and leaves the room alone.
There is very little conversation at the
table Each guest is asked one question
by the queen and can make one reply.
The pauses between are dreadful, and
the mechanical parceling out Of ques-
tons and answers makes it seem as if
the queen were putting a Bible class
through its catechism. Each one waits
for his turn TO come next. and in the
embarrassment the answers are often

Ii is a difficult matter to keep cider

to tbs tendency to fermentation caused

the point desired; others again consider

To effect this the cider should, after it
has first slightly fermented, be drawn or
dipped from the casks, where it has been
standing TO settle, into large copper ket-

just up to the boiling point and no longer,
when it should be again put into open

then be ready to be tightly bunged in

During the heating a large quantity

In the Right Car.

Yesterday afternoon a Cottage Grove
avenue cable train was hailed at Twenty
fifth street by two ladies. The train
stopped. a man on the grip had turned
half around TO converse with a friend on
the seat behind him. The two were occu-
pying four seats. One Of the ladies who
hailed the car tapped the forward man on
the arm and asked if he would kindly sit
back with his friend and allow them to
occupy his double seat He could not do
Otherwise. so he complied, but he grumb-
led the while about women invading the
smoking car when there was plenty of
room for them in the car behind. The
lady who had asked the favor overheard
the cultural remarks, but she said moth
ing. Pretty soon she turned on the man
who had made the quiet objections.
There was cigarette between her lips.
"Wiil you kindly give me light?' she
asked, as she reached out her little hand
for his cigar. He gazed at her in amaze
ment. but he handed over his torch. The
lady took light and passed the cigar
lac with thanks. Then she gave her
friend a light. The rude objector wilted.
He will never again claim that the smok
ers' seats are sacred to the men. The lady
in question knocked him out.-Chicago

Sweet Potatoes.

The several rules for digging and plans
for banking, killing and housing sweet
potatoes are based upon few simple
principles which seem to be generally
adopted, viz: That the potatoes should
be dug about the time killing frost is
expected. or Immediately thereafter that
they should be handled so as to prevent
bruising and cutting; that they should
be put up in such manner as TO keep OF
uniform and rather low temperature
above freezingj; that they should be
kept dry. The plan of pouring dry sand
among the potatoes in the hill or house,
so as to fill all the interstices, is excel
lent. We have kept potatoes sound.
sweet and dry until potatoes 'come
again" by packing in barrels and filling
with dry sand. The sand tends to pre-
vent sudden changes Of temperature, It
absorbs and equalizes moisture and prob
ably prevents mechanically the spread
of the fungus spores throughout the bulk.
The simplest way to hill the potatoes
largely practiced at the south) is to dig
when the ground is dry, if possible,
about the time OF first frost. Drive a
post in the ground and saw off about
four feet high; cover the ground thickly
with dry pine straw; place the potatoes
carefully, piling them as steep as they
will lie, and about twenty-five bushels to
the hill; cover the potatoes with pine
straw or dry corn stalks, regularly laid.

Practical Suggestions to Wheat Growers.

The following suggestions, based on re-
suits of experiments of the Indiana sta
ton, are furnished by Professor Latta:
Select hardy, prolific wheat, adapted to
your soil, and stick to it. Give it good
treatment and it will not run out. D."
Sow not less than six pccks Of sound seed
to the acre. Plow wheat ground early,
and harrow Immediately after blowing.
You can thus more easily and more
thoroughly pulverize the soil. If ground
breaks up cloddy, use heavy roll alternat-
ing with some form Of harrow or cult
vator that will bring clOd5 to surface. If
manure or fertilizers are used, mix thor
oughly with soil in every case. Use only
rotted manure, if any, and apply after
blowing. Reserve the fresh manure for
the corn crop. Before trying a fertilizer
get the experience aud advice of farmers
whose soils are similar to your own. Test
the untried brands carefully, in a small
way, before deciding upon their exten-
sive use. This is the best course, for the
reason that even the highest grades often
act very differently on different soils
Adopt a rotation of crops suited TO your
soil and needs. Bear in mind that soils
and climate vary greatly in different To-
calities, and that these potent factors in
crop production will very materially
affect the results Of your work. There
fore, study your local conditions.

with Intent TO Deceive.

The Breakfast Table is informed of a
new idea of shoe manufactures, which
is reported to have been tho means OF
largely increasing his business. The man
ufacturer in question sends out all shoes
# his make which are intended for ladies'
wear devoid of any stamp on sole or
upper by which the size can be told. The
reason for this is due to request from
some of his retail customers to that effect.
When the shoe gets TO the retail dealer
he may, if he chooses TO do so, mark on
The proper size; but he may, if be is I'M
scrupulous enough. mark the shoe so as
10 make it appear smaller than 1t really
is. That j., if shoe were 0 c he may
mark it at 2iC. 1t seems rather strange
that a shoe should sell more rapidly be-
cause it is marked wrongly, but if the
practice did not bring some definite finan-
cial return it would not, in all probability,
be pursued. Boston Advertiser.
