Mummy Corn.

During the season of 1889 most re-
markable crop of oorn was raised by
David Drew at Plymouth, y. II. In
1888 Mr.. Drew came into possession Of
some corn grains found wrapped in
the cloth which incased an Egyptian
mummy supposed TO be at teast 1000
years old. Toese grains were n,aa,ed,
and. strange to say, grew. The plant
had many OF the characteristics Of
real corn or maiAe. The leaves were
alternatc, ir grew TO be over six feet
hi,h the mid-ribs were nearly white,
but as TO the product of the stalk there
is where the curious part Of the story
lies: Instead of growing in an ear.
like modern maize, it hung in heavy
cl' iers at the top on spikelets. There
was no tassel and no silks, each sprig
or spikelet was thickly studded with
real corn grains, each OF which were
proSidsa -ssiaisa a--.oarate husk. hk~

"Spell toes" said the mother, who,

we do use the and spell the word

"Now, spell rose.' said the mother.
The child hesitated. Finally she
said. Il don't know whether to say
r-o-z-e or r-o-e-s. and really l don't
know that either way would be right.
spell il r-o-s-e," said the mother,
@though there is another word pro-
nouuced just like 1t that's spelled
r-o-es. That word is the name OF the
spawn of fishes"
The poor little child looked very
miserable.

mother. Tell me how you spell

quite enough nonsense, as she viewed

made up her mind 10 pay back in kind.
