success.
During the season of 1889 a n

During the season of 1889 a most
remarkable crop was raised by
David Drew, at Plymouth, N. II.
In 1888 MIR. Drew came into pos
session of some corn grains found
wrapped with a mummy in Egypt,
supposed to be 1900 years old.
These were planted and grew. It
had many characteristics Of the
real corn; the leaves were alternate,
it grew to be over six feet high, the
mid-ribs were white, but the
product of the stalk, there is where
the curious part comes in. Instead
of growing In an ear like modern
maize, it hung IN heavy clusters at
the top, on spikelets; there was no
t%assel, no silk, each sprig was
thlckly studded with grains, each
provided with a separate husk like
wheat grams.

Sign Nothing for a Stranger.


Look out for a sharper who
travels through the country selling
an improved pillow share, or an
improved something else, which
he loans to influential farmers
who will recommend it to their
neighbors. He takes an article OF
agreement, which is written with a
peculiarly constructed fountain pen,
there being two compartments in
the holder. One of these compart-
ments contains ink that fades away
in a short time, while the ink in
the other is permanent. With the
former he writes the article and
changing the pen hands it to the
farmer, who signs his name with
the latter kind. The words of the
article soon fade, and the sharper
has a piece of blank paper, which
shortly turns up IN the shape of a
note at a neighboring bank. Don't
sign anything for strangers, unless
you want to get into trouble.

Cullen for Probate Judge,

There was a big crowd of Au-
drip county candidates at Sturgeon
last Saturday Champ Clark was
to speak but the inclement weather
prevented. Our old friend, P. a.
Cullen, was among the number,
looking after his interests for
Probate Judge of Audrain county.
P. II. graduated from the law de-
partment of the University some
years ago with high honors. He
is one of the solidest young law
yers that this institution has sent
out for years, and if elected, he will
make a record as an officer that the
people of Audrain will be proud
of. His learning in the law and
his business tact and experience
peculiarly fit him for the office he
seeks, and no more aggressive and
deserving young Democrat can be
found in the party. The Statesman
joins his host of friends here in

attended him, but he grew continually
worse under their care, and everybody
expected he would die. I had heard Of
the remarkable cures effected by Ayers
Sarsaparilla, and decided to have my
boy try 1t. Shortly after he began to
take this medicine, the ulcers COM
menced healing, and, after using several
bottles, he was entirely cured. He is

I May last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began to have sores
gather on its head and body. We apL
piled various simple remedies without
avail. The sores increased In uumbe.
and discharged copiously. A physician
was called, but the sores continued TO
multiply until in q few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
A. last we began the use of Ayers Sar-
sAparilia. In a few days D marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed q more healthy condition,
the discharges were gradually dimin-
tshed, and dnaliy ceased altogether.

How Cablegrams are Trans
mitted.

How Cablegrams are Trans
mitted.
From the st. Louis Republic.
With the first long submarine
cables great difficulties were en-
countered in sending through them
q current of electricity of sufficient
power to record the messages rapid
~. The methods for overcoming
these difficulties and in use at
present are described as follows:
Keys, which, when depressed,
transmit positive and negative cur
rents, are employed at the sending
station in connection with the
regulation battery. The current of
the battery does not pass directly
into the cable but into q condenser,
which passes it into the submarine
line. This greatly increases the
force Of the current used and serves
to cut off interfering ground cur
rent. The instrument first employ
ed in receiving cablegrams was a
rejecting galvanometer. Upon
the magnet of this instrument is
carried a small curved mirror. A
lamp is placed before the mirror
and behind a screen in which there
is a vertical slit Flashes of light
moving across this slit as the
needles moved from left to right,
indicated to the trained eyes of the
operator the letters in the message
being transmitted. But this
method of recording messages was
found to tax the eyesight of the
operator severely, a few years work
often rendering them almost if not
totally blind. Recognizing the fact
that there must be something
wrong with such a system, in
ventors sci about repairing the
defect, which resulted in p~erfecting
the syphon galvanometer, which
has all but superseded all other re-
ceiving devices.
In the syphone receiver the
movements of the needle are re-
corded by means of ink spurted
from a fine tube. This tube is at
tached to a coil suspended between
two fixed magnets, which swings to
the right or left as the pulsat1ons
pass through it. The syphon gall
vanometer is a great improvement;
Is not hard on the eyes and enables
the operator to receive much more
rapidly than with the old fash re-
ceiver.

Certainly l care to, and on the
principle of always trying to get
more of a good thing, and especial
ly when it is to be had gratis, I
manage, by a few gentle insinua-
tons, to draw forth some interest
ing bits of information about the
Queens peculiarities and fancies.
For although she may be ia right
down, regular royal queen" she
doesn't cease to be a woman, and
is therefore as liable to fads and
prejudices, and queer little ways,
as the rest of her sex. For in
stances, in pleasant summer
weather she likes to take her
breakfastin a tent on the lawn, and
it must be served precisely at half
past eight o'clock, for Englsnd's
queen does not countenance lazi-
ness /; marching up and down out
side are tive gorgeous looking pipers
in full Highland costume playing
the bag-pipes. Then she has some
simple tastes, and all a true En-
glish woman's love for out door
exercise, and she is often to be
seen in the lanes about Osborne,
arrayed in a wide brimmed black
hat, and picking wild flowers like
any country bred child.
One of her amusements OCCASION
ally, when she is in good health
and spirits, is to summon a num-
Der of her ladies-in-waiting and
attendants, and forming a process
sion set out to inspect her stables,
which are about a mile away from
the house, for it seems she is very
fond of horses, and 1t is one of her
notions that all her equine belong
ings shall be washed with one
especial kind of soap. Whether it
is the "Good morning. Have you
used such -" sort? I did not
learn.
She is very ohservant, too, and
has a really wonderful memory for
details for one who has, for over
fifty years, been burdened with
such great responsibility. 1t seems
that when she is at her summer resi-
dences of Balmoral and Osborne it
is her custom to 60 around among
her tenants and the cottagers and
to note just what addition to their
furnishments or wardrobes would
be more welcome. These items
she keeps in mind for months, and
then at Christmas there goes to
each cottage just that very thing
which was most longed for. To.
the women and children she most
frequently gives the material of a.
good wool gown, and for these she
calls upon the house of Redfern.
Now it has been the custom of this
firm to take the opportunity Of
clearing off all their unutilized and
"passe'' stock even though il
should date back more than one
season. Well the last time these
stuffs were carried down for her
Majesty's inspection she said, after
examining them:
"Now l am quite willing, you
know, to help you get rid of your
old goods, to q reasonable extent.

small rather seedy looking scrap
book. And, of course, that pro-
