CORN MEAL FOR THE BRITISH.
William Walter Phelps, formerly
minister to England, recently gave
public dinner and introduced Ameri-
can corn bread 10 various styles, since
which time the London bakers have
had all they could do filling orders for

perhaps not aware Of the fact that
very little of our Kansas corn ever
finds its way across the water. The

MEN OF LEISURE.

The melancholy days have come,
when the village hummer hunts for
the warm side of the stove in the
country store and rehearscs his oft-told
tales to his fellow tramps in comfort
and joy. His wife may be off gossip
ing with her neighbors, or she may be
at home splitting stovewood, it matters
not to him so long as he can find a
seat TO sit OH and q warm fire to make
him comfortable. During the long
summer months he has occupied his
mind hunting for the coolest places on
the shadiest side of the street, the
softest pine boxes to white and the
easiest crowd of listeners to gull.
The summer days were passed in
comfort, but with sort Of indepen-
dence and certain degree of manhood
which characterizes the village aristo-
Graf, whose wife or mother does her
own washing, but when winter comes
the cosy back end of store with
stove to spit at affords him all the
comfort he needs. Time drags YEARLY
with the man of leisure in Il small
town, but with cheerful fire and
social companions he manages to get
through the winter and never fails to
appear in the spring with the bluebirds
and violets.
These men are not only philosophers
they are encyclopedias. They have
all the news at their tongues end and
are full of information that no re-
spectacle newspaper would dare to
publish. As rule they take deeper
interest in their neighbours affairs than
they do in their own. They are a
mild sort of a nuisance to the store
keeper, but to the economical party
who has time TO listen to them and
can't afford to take a newspaper they
are a godsend. We do not say that
Baxter has any Of the above, but Ca
lena has them and so does Columbus.

READING, Feb 10. "A very interesting
surgical experiment ls now being tried
In this city by DIR. John Ege, one OF the
objects of which is to determine
whether the skin of a eolored man
grated upon white man will remain
black or turn white.
Joel Saul, n white man. has been af-
flicted with a large sore on the calf OF
his leg for the past two years, which
could not be healed. On January 10
DIR. Eye planted on the sore thirty
pieces OF skin taken from the arm OF q
white man. Ten Of these have grown,
and they were each at first only about
the size Of pins head, but they have
now grown to sizes from an inch to
nearly two inches In diameter. There
were still some vacant spaces, and the
doctor last night, assisted by Dr. Il. u.
Schumacher, planted eighteen pieces OF
black skin in the vacant places. The
skin was taken from colored man "a
years of age, who came from Boston.
The physicians of this city are await
ing the result of the experiment with
great interest. It Is the general opin-
ion that tho grated skin will retain its
original color.

Clerk of tho Market Smeltz, orSealer
of Weights and Measures Stevens,
should give their attention to the ven-
ders OF fruits and nuts at the corner
stands. A few days since a gentleman
bought what purported to be a quart
of peanuts, at one OF these stands, but
upon measuring it at home, he found
that lie only had a pint and a half. A
lady paid for -four quarts OF shellbarks,
but when they were measured they
only held out three quarts. These
men should be compelled to give honest
measure, and II they do not, should be
arrested and fined. 1t may become
necessary for the REPUBLICAN to pub

change is made.
