"The Song OF the shirt"

Vide them among half dozen grips

accident" said Clarence q. Steadman,
commercial pilgrim, with headquar-
tiers at the Lindell, TO a reporter of
the st. Louis Globe Democrat. "Last
Summon I reached Atlantic, Iowa,
the abiding place Of my best.girl. My
trunk failed to connect, an expected
remittance did not arrive, and there
was, stuck, without money to buy a
change of linen, and the young lady
expected me to tea. I had nothing
to do, so conceived the brilliant idea
of remaining In my room and seud-
ing my linen to my laundry with a
quick-time order. did so, and in
ten minutes the porter raped at the
door and-told me Miss So-andSo was
IN the parlor with number of other
young ladies waiting for me.
81 took the porter into my conf
dence, and he went down and bawled
out that 'Mistah Steadman couldn't
come down cos he done sent his shirt
to de wash Then she girls pounded
on the piano and sang The Song of
the Shirt At this juncture the
laundry kid came to the foot of the
stairs and yelled out that 'the boss
say he can't git that are shirt done
afore to-morrer.' Well, 1 wrapped
the sheet around me and strobe up
and down my room, engaged in silent
prayer, while the girls in the parlor
how!ed like a female boarding school
on holiday. There was rap at the
door, and the laundry kid, with a
suspicious grin, handed in a bundle.

Years of valuable tine are wasted in
the lifetime of every individual by the
hunt for ideal people. There are none,
except the people who are dead. The
ideal living persons exist only in the
imagination of the enthusiast who looks
for them. He may at length give up
the search in despair and settle down to
the belief THAT all the world is mean,
hard, selfish and monstrous, and he will
become a soured, imbittered, suspicious
old crank, very unpleasant to live with.
Or he may give up caring whether there
are any ideal people or not and harden
into a successful money maker who en-
joys nothing more than getting the bet
ter of some one less shrewd than him
self.
Yet there is sure way to produce
ideal people-those who are perfectly
kind, truthful, generous, good natured
and just, likewise neat and pleasant
hammered. There is time in the life
of everybody, even the toughest old
hunks, when to somebody he is the ideal
At that time somebody, whether moth
er, child, sweetheart or friend, believes
him to be the one piece of perfection
sought for. If now we snatch at this
moment and thereafter be through all
the years of our lives exactly what these
adoring ones believe us to be before
they find us out, then in due time the
earth will be populated with genuine
ideal people.

The curious phenomenon that certain
substances retain actinic power after be-
ing withdrawn from light has been in
vestigated by NJ. Gautier, who now
shows that a mixture in equal volumes
of chlorine and hydrogen will explode in
twenty or thirty seconds when placed in
the shade at spot which the sun has re-
Gently lighted up; and it is singular
fact that chlorine and hydrogen, which
have been obtained by the electrolysis
of hydrochloric acid, will explode to-
gether in diffuse daylight, which only
affects the two gases obtained by the or
binary laboratory methods very slowly.
Again, if hydrogen gas is mixed with
chlorine gas which has previously been
exposed to sunlight the mixture will ex-
plode instantaneously in the dark.
These facts show, it is thought, that sub
stances which have. been submitted to
the action of electricity, or which have
been exposed for a certain length of
time to the direct rays of the sun, are in
a peculiar state of excitement, which
renders them much more active as re-
CARDS one another than are the same
substances prepared by the ordinary
methods Of the laboratory-they acquire
a peculiar allotropic state, similar to
what ozone is as regards ordinary oxy-
gen gas.-New York Sun.

Advice for Farmers Who Have N
Adopted Silos.

Advice for Farmers Who Have No;
Adopted siios.
There is necessarily much difficulty
in saving coarse stalks of corn full Of
sap so as to make good feed in winter
by ordinary methods, It is this fact
which has had much to do with maxim;
ensilage popular. For the benefit Of
those who have no silos, but are in the
habit Of leaving the cornstalks in the
field until dried out by freezing weather,
The American Cultivator gives this al
vice;
The common objection to DRAWING
stalks in early is that they will heat in
NOW or stack If piled in large heaps
soon after being cut the mass will rot
down and be good for nothing except
manure. But some fermentation is not
Objectionable if not carried too far. 1t
in way cooks the stalks, and even
when it results in some loss of nutrition
it makes what remains more palatablc,
and probably also more easy to be di-
gested We have often seen cattle in
winter greedily picking out the stalks
that had become overlNated in the NOV,
and when fed were still moist from the
heating, Some Of these stalks were mil
dewed, and we feared that they might,
if fed to COWS bearing young, cause
abortion, but we later abandoned that
theory as a mistake.
There is, we believe, less danger from
excessive and injurious heating of fresh
stalks, dried as much as they can be
without exposure to rain and freezing,
than there is from wet stalks that have
been exposed to atmospheric changes
several months. The green stalks will
heat if piled up, and in hot weather will
soon rot down. But we believe it posi-
Bile to get them in barns or stacks dried
as much as they can be without exposure
to rain, and by mixing dry straw with
them keep the whole in better condition
than is possible any other way. If the
bundles of stalks are made small layer
of straw between each layer of bundles
will absorb all the moisture that the
stalks give off in fermenting. The straw
itself thus subjected to heating will be-
come more palatable, and will be eaten
ny obOSh NilIl w III lCluSC III slIdW
from the stack, Straw is plentiful at
this season on most large farms. There
can be no better way to use it than in
helping to save the corn fodder in good
condition.
In the heating of cornstalks that have
not been exposed to rains or freezing
there is much less likelihood of the
more injurious fungous growths that
come from fermentation of cornstalks
whose nutrition has largely been washed
out of them. The rich juices of the
ripened cornstalks act partially as pre-
sentative, and at any rate the richer
feed that stock gets from these sweeter
stalks maintains vigorous health and en-
ables the animal to resist the fungous
poisons that depend on physical exhaus-
ton to make them effective.
