ST. NICHOLAS always has two
numbers that are really Christmas
numbers. This issue, for January,
1894, begins with Christmas picture,
and then transports us ia a single in
slant to India, where. under guidance
of Rudyard. the magician, we enter
the forest and see how a little imam
cub" is adopted by a kindly family of
wolves. Mr.. William T. Hornaday
begins In this number valuable series
of papers upon Natural History.
There is a serious need for just the sort
of interesting information these arti-
cles viii supply.
The Brownies" are now an Ameri-
can institution, and the little fellows
reappear in ST.. NICHOLAS, with an
assurance af welcome as certain as is
felt by child who returns to his
home. Mr.. Clifford gives a full pic
ture of the daily routine of the Gov

Printing-the department whose mas
terpieces upon green-backed paper we
are oil so willing to possess.
The shorter pieces are less important
only In length. ST. NICHOLAS is al
ways glad TO give point in single
paragraph where that is possible, and
much of it's contents can be APP
preciated even by him who runs.

/. A careful Investigation Of the
changes Ia the Wheat plant from the
time it head eut toAthe period of dead
ripeness The progressive changes in
the chemical composition of the grain
and straw of wheat n this process of
ripening, shows that ths best results
are reached in both Kraln md straw
when the wheat kernel 'crushes dry
between the thumb nails.' tl3at.at this
time there is the largest yield Of grain
and of the best quality, and fs'om this
period there is gradual detefiaration
of the grain, and marked decline in
the food value oe the straw.
This part of the bulletin is illustrat-
ed by several diagrams which eDablA
one TO take in at a glace the various
changes in forty.six successive days of
growth.
2. Under the heading, Certain
Forage Plants, attention is directed
to the spurry and its peculiar adapted
ness to light, sandy soils, like the jack
pine plains. and especially where the
light soil is visited by drouth. AT the
same time, warning is given that on
rich soils the spurry may become a
| troublesome weed.
Analysis of the spurry shows that
while it contains but little of the
starchy class of food materials, it con-
tains larger proportion of fat (5.76
per cent? and materials of the albumin
GUS class "a Sc per cent?.
The reported failure of last springs
sowing of spurry was probably caused
bv freezing the young plants soon
after coming up, as the young plant is
easily killed by frost.
The great productiveness of the Flat
Pea ;Lathyrus siloeStriS) and its re-
markable fodder value are pointed
out. A perennial plant that this year
produced four tons of dry fodder, con
tanning more than % per cent OF
heterogeneous food, will attract the at.
tention of farmers and stock men.

Generally speaking, small commu-
mites are not clannish enough. The i'm
habitants thereof do not tie close
enough 10 their own people, or indulge
in proper friendship for local inter
ests. They appear to forget that a
house divided against itself must fall.
If a community progresses, its constit.
uent parts must be in harmony, and
each citizen must take an interest in
his fellows welfare. A narrow selfish
policy never resulted in good to any
body and never will. Support your
towusmen in all laudable enterprises
and extend the hand of friendship. -

The Northern Democrat, in referring
to the many manufacturers who do
not wish to be robbed by the demo
cratic party, and are shutting down
their manufactures, says: Their
millions have been accumulated off
from the profits of labor, and when
they cannot secure it cheap enough
here they send their paid agents to hunt
the ScTums of Europe aud import in
shiploads the pauper labor of that
country" We do not know where the
Scrums of Europe are located, but
where importations of labor have been
investigated by congressional COM
mittees, it has always been found that
It WAS done by combinations of dem
ocrats at whose head was a member
of their National, Congressional or
State Committees. The slums OF this
country breed democrats fast enough
without going to the ScTums of Europe.

is KISSING OUT OF DATEi
A Fow Remarks Tending to Favor

A Fow Remarks Tending to Favor the
Downtrodden Custom.
Kissing goes, they say, by favor. And ex-
perts say that it Is certain through all time
that kissing has certain flavor and q
great many other elements which appeal
to the imagination OF mankind. Thcro-
fore, when band of women in Brooklyn
decide that kissing is out OF date and not
To be encouraged, IL behooves everybody
who has been or expects to be kissed to
look into the subject.
Men and women have kissed for some
5000 years, and sociologists agree that the
race was never more perfectly developed
than it Is today. The new school insists
that kissing Is apt TO convey disease; THAI
when lip meets lip bacteria are inter
changed; that all sorts Of infectious dis
eases are passed along by these enchanting
labial mediums. Are these medicists right,
or are they wronRf
There are many kinds Of kisses. The
kiss of a mother Is not the kiss of lover,
and people who make practice OF kissing
babies do not attach as much Importance
To the exercise as people who kiss only
when some strong emotion prompts them.
Long experience shows that kissing Is In
evitable Otherwise the world would not
have kept on kissing through all these
years and down through ages full Of change
and vicissitude. Nobody will deny thas
science has advanced with gigantic strides
during the last decade, but when science
tries to deprive the world Of osculation 10
attempts the impossible. Civilization has
progressed, population has increased, life
has assumed thousand new and benefl-
cent phases, and yet kissing has been GO
Ing an-all- -tha-tima.-Z -Zymotic- diseases
have been considerably prevalent In pre-
ceding periods of the worlds history, and
they may have been interchangod by oom-
munication of the lips, but the race has
managed TO survive, and here we are to-
day.
The experience Is well remembered OF
that medical student who found In his
first year at college that he was possessed
Of all the ills of which he read. The chances
are that every cold blooded scientist who
| has ever kissed or been kissed imagines
himself 20 be afflicted with every possible
disease that can be communicated by kiss
ing. 1t is not worth while to discuss how
| manifold these diseases are. The fact re-
mains that the race has man aged Ia worry
along in spite Of them.-New York Press
