A writer in Colman's Rural
Wcrld says that the immemorial
custom of farmers discarding the
end grains of corn when selecting
seed and only planting grains from
the middle of the ears is the cause
of the almost universal failure of
corn to fill out plump at the ends.
He says that in order to get full
developed ear, that the end grains
are just as necessary for a good
crop as those from any other part
of the ear. Here is a suggestion
we might heed to advantage. 1t has
certainly the authority of science
in its favor.

TIE failure of bank in Illinois
will cause serious loss and inconye-
nience to some savage chiefs on the
Congo, it is said. The reason of it
was that the bank was the deposit
tory of a considerable fund which
supported the Congo missions that
were under the charge of Bishop
Taylor. The missionaries appear to
have practiced buying native chill
dren from the chiefs and putting
them into the Christian schools.
They call this 'redeeming" the
youthful negroes. They educated
them to civilized lives. The mis-
sionaries got boys for nothing, but
girls they had to pay thirty dollars
apiece for. Meantime the chiefs
got rich and fat, and everybody was
happy all around. 1t seems, how
ever, peculiar way of suppressing
the slave trade.

THAT one," said she, pointing to the
outermost lower star of the dipper's
bowl.
"a very natural preference"
"Why?"

were wont to refer to it as you now re-
fer to Polaris, the present north star
Who knows" continued he, in his grow
ing enthusiasm, ''but that you were an
Egyptian trader, and that as your cara
van wendell its long-drawn way across
the trackless desert you looked to that
star for guidance. and that the habit
thus formed has penetrated your pres
ent life in the form of m indefinable
preference"
"But where were you them" she
TREMENDOUSLY inquired as she seized his
disengagcd hand, she being but q recent
convert to the doctrines of Karma, and
her feminine soul, with its pleasant
dreams of wedding fincry, suffering q
slight shock at the thought of any con-
dition in life in which there was neither
prospect nor propriety of husband fig
uring.
But the lover was now lost in the as
tronomer. He was q teacher, and, true
to his pedagogic instinct, he proceeded,
while he looked renectivcly toward the
cast:
Eyes, indeed and in twelve thousand

must know, are precisely like those of q

is then pointing"
She sighed, and after q little pause
said in discouraged tone:

A Dealer Gives Recipe for ProIonEing

People who feel that their shoes wear

OF II dealer in Chicago, who tells the

man III five hundred who knows how to
wear shoes? The average man buys
pair of shoes, wears them until they are
no longer prcscntablc, and then throws
them away and buys another pair A
man ought to have at least two pairs of
shoes for everyday wear, and no pair
Should be worn two days in succession.
At first thought this may strike you as
scheme to benefit the shoe dealer, but
it is nothing of the kind. In fact, such
o plan would injurc the shoe business.
Two pairs of shoes worn alternately
will last three times as long as {, single
pair. The saving, of course, is made in
the wearing of the leather. A pair of
shoes worn every day goes to pieces
more than twice as fast as pair worn
every second day. No two pair ht your

OF the shoe and in another the greatest
wear and tear falls upon another part
altogether. I took trip through Eu-
rope last summer and in several places

by peasants have no right and left
distinctions, but are worn on either
foot. was told that such shoes were
preferred to those which moro closely
conform to the shape of the foot, be-
cause they last longer, since the strain
upon any part of the shoe to-day is
changed to another part tomorrow"

TATTOO MARKS.

Nothing Yet Discovered Which VIII
Eradicate Them.
1t has often been claimed that tattoo
marks may be removed by priclzing
over them goats milk. This is q mis-
taken idea, says tho Boston Bulletin.
Chemists and others have for years cx-
pcrimcnted with various preparations,
in the hope of discovering some agent
to wholly remove india ink-marks from
the human skin. Nothing, however,
has as yet been found that will remove
portion even of the Objectionable
marks, unless, possibly, the attempt be
made Immediately following the tattoo
ing process. At Mount Washington
university hospital, Baltimore, an cx-
pertinent was some years ago made in
presence of the writer upon the forearm
OF noted character of that city who
died there. Before his death the man
granted permission to the students of
tho university to experiment MS they
saw fit with his dead body. One of
these students, curious to learn every
thing possible connected with the prac-
ticc of tattooing, cut from the dead
mans arm II strip of skin upon which n
coat of arms appeared. Beneath the
skin the design remained visible Bv
degrees the flesh was removed, the de-
sign in india ink still remaining in
sight until finally the bone was reached.
After q thorough sponging for tic pur-
pose of removing the blood and pieces
of flesh remaining, it was found that
the representation still appeared. At
ter cutting away small section of the
bone, the india Ink mark was found to
hare not penetrated beyond.

a u1r7ApoUr A REWARD.
Ex-o chief Morris Sues Detective baldwin
for Aiding I'm McNamara's Capture.

Ex-ohtcf Morris Sues Detective Baldwin
for Aiding I'm McNamare's Capture.
Justice Howerton had quite novel
case to dispose of yesterday morning.
NJ. G. Morris sued w. G. Baldwin, tho
detective, for one-half the reward Of
fered for the capture of Chris MoNam-
ara. who killed Reese Fowler in Chatta-
nooga several weeks ago and who was
captured in Roanoke. Baldwin took
Mcnamara back to Chattanooga and Sc
cured tho reward.
In the evidence adduced, Mr.. Morris
claimed to have served warrant on
McNamara, and that Baldwin promised
to divide the reward with him.
1t was also shown that Conductor
Blanchard received the first information
of McNamara's presence on the train,
which he impaired to Baldwin, whom he
met at Radford. Baldwin sent tele-
grams to Roanoke, asking that war
rant be sworn out and that o policeman
be sent to the depot.
Mr.. Morris was represented by Phil.
Lockett and Baldwin by j. Allen Watts.
The latter held that Mr.. Morris was en-
titled to nothing, and as Captain
Blanchard claimed a portion of the re-
ward, it should go to those two only.
Tho evidence showed that Baldwin first
placed Mcnamara under arrest, but tho
fact that he sent q telegram TO Morris
to be on the lookout, and afterwards
promised to divide the reward, caused
the verdict to be given for Morris in tho
sem of S2S.36 This is ono third of the
reward, less one third of the expense in
taking him back to Chattanooga.

CLEvELAND's REMITTANCE.

The temperance of ex-President
Cleveland as an active figure in politics
was signalled by his speech last night
as president Of the great Democratic
rally in New York city in favor of
Roswell P. Flowers gubernatorial can
didacy. 1t is significant in that it indi-
Gates that Mr.. Cleveland has lost none
of his purpose to stand as candidate
for the Democratic Presidential nom
ination in 1892. 1t is significant in that
been made which give assurances that
Hill is to be set aside in New York
State for Cleveland and that q Cleve-
land delegation will be sent to the ma
tional convention.
The effect of such an outcome from
the present point of view would be to
strongly increase Mr.. Clcveland's
chances for denomination. No one
can deny that nc has hold upon the
masses of Democratic voters unap-
preached by any Democratic President
since the days of Andrew Jackson.
If the Democracy of New York State
has at last awakened to tho fact that
tho Democracy of the Lntry at large
has grown weary of it's pickering and
local disse ntions it will be we'll and
good for them and for the party. for
certainly the continuance of New
York State in tho column of
doubtful States from treachcry
and trading in New York city
has strongly impelled the Democrats
of the South and West to cut loose from
such an embarrassing and disastrous
alliance and to seek, in the hitherto
Republican States of the Missis sippi
Valley and the Rocky Mountain Divide,
enough additional strength to Offset the
abandonment of New York.
