SELECTING SEED CORN.
Some Valuable Suggestions by Prof. G.. L
Morrow, of Illinois.

Some Valuable Suggestions by Prof. G. Il.
Morrow, of Illinois.
In selecting few bushels OF seed
corn with special reference TO improve
ment of the crop, as well as to having
seed with strong vitality, should pre-
fer selecting in the field before the crop
is fully matured, because this will en-
able one TO judge of the stalk as well
as the ear, and of the early maturing
of both ear and stalk compared with
their surroundings.
In preserving this corn should Sc
lect the most convenient method which
would allow the ears to become quite
thoroughly dried before severe cold
weather, and then keep them dry
perfectly free from marked variations
in temperature. Artificial heat in
| moderate degrees is helpful, but moi
often essential in this latitude with
fairly early maturing varieties.
do not attach much Importance Il
any one method. The old plan o
"brading up the ears by their huski
by pairs and hanging over wires, ropes
or poles in warm, dry place, Is, per
haps, as effective as any. A patented
: corkscrew-like wire to put in each ca
is excellent. Cutting off the tips OF tn
ears, making a hole through then
lengthwise, then stringing dozen o.
twenty on a wire probably gives he'll
in the thorough crying of very larg
ears. In all ordinary cases no troubl
will come il the ears are spread thinl
on the floor or in crates, if kept in
warm, dry place.

lirlish Charms That Are Not Obtained BY
the Use of Lotions.
A New York newspaper lately con-
tanned an account of a young girl in
that city who, in attempting to give
her hair, which was of a dull hue, q
golden luster, burned the flesh OF her
head with acid, and injured her sight
for life. Another young woman, in
New Orleans, following the directions
of some fash society paper, in endeav-
oring to remove the mOles upon her
face, poisoned the flesh, and died in
great agony.
The use of certain hair dyes. con-
tanning lead, in many instances has
brought on affections of the brain. A
well-known American writer attributes
an obstinate attack OF typhoid-fever,
which left her an invalid for years, to
her use of a popular anti-fat system OF
diet and violent exercise. She lost
sixty pounds of flesh in few weeks.
but the sudden weakening of the It's
sues rendered her susceptible to the
poison of typhoid, and unable to re-
sist it.
How many of girl readers have
pored eagerly over the remedies,
prescribed by INSCRIPTIONS writers,
for ugly young women, and have been
tempted to try the lotions, the severe
protracted HASTINGS, the bandages,
medicines, or screws which are
to remove their defects or large
bones, leanness, fairness, pimples
moles, crooked eyes, or wide
mouthsP In no case is it neces
sary, according to the advertisements
to seek the advice of physician; yet
most of the remedies suggested are o
the most dangerous kind in unskillfu
hands, and likely TO increase deform
ity, and to produce i'll health.
But putting aside the question o
the utility of remedies TO remove nat
ural personal defects, an ugly cir
should know that the surest way Il
keep her homely features or awkward
figure in the remembrance of othersA
for her to constantly remembe
them herself. Self-consciousness i
disagreeable in beautiful woman; Il

Are these girls with dull eyes an

of pleasing their companions? BY n

life in Germany discern a singular
phenomenon which is assuming more
and more alarming proportions. =
Almost everywhere there are COM
plants of notable diminution In
chnrch attendance. Many churches
in the towns and in the country are
three-quarters empty. AT Berlin,
where there are only fOrty-seven
churches and twenty.seven chapels,
with $4,000 seats. for a Protestant
population of nearly a million, the
church service is very little attended.
People go to the cathedral to hear the
fine music and to see the emperor.
When the liturgical sermon is over,
there is a considerable exodus {; more
than half the congregation goes away,
and before the sermon is at an end,
there is a formidable rush toward the
doors in order to get good places tor
seeing the imperial family 60 out.
The service ends before empty benches
and at the celebration of the Holy
Communion, which follows, there are
often not dozen COMMITMENTS.
Germany is not the only country
where empty benches are found at
the church services. In this coun-
try thew are also found, but the causes
are not because we are losing our re-
ligion. It's not so, but We are a
truly busy people and in the rush and
hurry of the world there is such a
drain upon the vitality that many a
man when Sunday comes, da'lies with
his inclination to attend church and
and his desire to just

Kelley puts it, and the victory goes

The republicans are making ardent
love Just now to the New jersey

own satisfaction, that because there
were only $40 delegates at the Pro.
hibition Convention last week, the
Prohibition ticket will this year pol
only about half the vote Of last fall,
and that the difference will 60 en-
tirely to the Republican candidates.
This easy way of carrying an cleo
eion in imagination is very consoling
in midsummer. 1t is not, however
likely to amount to much when the
votes are counted in the autumn. Il
is by no means certain, that, if the
Prohibi ton vote should fall off, th'
Republicans would gain the entire de
crease and the very stirring appea
issued last week is likely to marsha
the out-and-out Prohibitionists in de
termined hostility to the Republicans
