ARTISTIC DECORATION.
The Beautiful Work Done In Corn In
Iowa's building.

The Iowa state building at the
worlds fair is literally done in corn.
The great cereals which are the basis
of the states wealth have here been
transferred to the realm of art and dec
Grafton. For decade or more Iowa
has been celebrated for its corn pal
aces" Certain artisans of the state
have acquired great experience in the
manipulation of the cereals for decora-
tive effects; and now in the grand an
niversary year this experience has stood
them in good stead for the production
of rural ornamentation, which will
prove an attractive feature of the fair.

PETER Tangled LIN On wheat.

Senator PETER, in his book, Tho
Farmers Side" says: Learning. en-
terprise, and invention have added IS
per cent to the productive power of
the people in the last fifty years The
opening of the Suez canal shortened
the distance between Bombay and
Liverpool 10000 miles and cheapened
transportation so per cent Wheat
grown in India can be landed in
Britain for so cents bushel total cost
Many men now living remember when
wheat, one hundred miles west of our
large cities on the seaboard, was value
less except for home use, its carriage
that distance being worth its full value
in the market" And yet, after writing
this in his book, Senator PETER has the
cheek to tell Kansas farmers that
wheat is now low in Kansas because of
the silver legislation of 1878. When
India wheat can be landed in Liver
pool at fifty cents total cost, as Sena-
tor PETER says it can be, how can the
silver legislation of the country be
blamed if Kansas wheat is not worth
dollar per bushel? Senator PETER
writes himself down very dull man
every time he puts his pen TO paper.

HUGH'S SHllLELAGH,
This Deadly Weapon the Result of Care
full Training and Work.

This Deadly Weapon the Result of Care
full Training and Work.
| The shillelagh was not a mere stick
picked up for few pence, or cut casu-
ally out of the common hedge. Like
the Arab mare, it grew to maturity I'M
der the fostering care of its owner.
The shillelagh, like the poet, is born,
not made. Like the poet, too. it is a
choice plant and its growth is slow.
Among ten thousand blackthorn shoots,
perhaps not more than one is destined
to become famous, but one of the ten
thousand appears of singular fitness.
As soon as discovered, it is marked and
dedicated for future service Every
thing that might hinder its develop
ment is removed, and an, ,ff-shoot of
the main stem is skillfuily cut off.
With constant care it grows thick and
strong, upon dubious root that can
be shaped into handle.
Hugh had for many years been
watching over the growth of a young
blackthorn sapling. 1t had arrived at
maturity. The supreme moment of his
life came just when the weapon on
which he depended was ready.
Returning from the manse, his first
act was to dig up the blackthorn so
carefully that he might have enough
of the thick root to form lethal club.
Having pruned it roughly, he placed
the butt end in warm ashes, night after
night, to season. Then when it had
become sapless and hard, he cut it to
shape, then put it to pickle" as the
saying goes. After a sufficient time in
the salt water, he took it out and
rubbed it with channels and train-oil
for hours. Then he shot a magpie,
drained its blood into cup, and with
it polished the blackthorn till it be-
came glossy black with mahogany
tint.
The shillelagh was then a beautiful,
tough. formidable weapon, and when
tipped with an iron ferrule was quite
ready for action. 1t became Hugh's
trusty companion. No Sir Galahad
ever cherished his shield or trusted his
spear as Hugh Bronte cherished and
loved his shillelagh Maga-
zine.
