The Berliner Tageblatt is advising
German farmers to plant American
corn. 1t speaks of the cheapness of
this article, tells its readers what chem
ical constituents of live stock food
maize is deficient in and mentions other
articles of food to be used in connection
with the corn that will supply what it
lacks. The price of seed corn is given,
and directions are printed for its plant
ing and culture. While Indian corn
will not fully mature in Germany, it
will grow enough there to produce an
excellent quality of fodder, and this is
what the German paper desires farmers
to cultivate it for. In its directions for
planting The Tageblatt says of our
Yankee corn: Zone drills him, the first
to the middle of May beginning, in from
45 to 80 centimeters apart rows, not too
thin. Are the young plants finger long?
so is the first hoeing, preferably horse
hoeing, given" 1t is to be hoped that
after this the German farmers will know
Enthusiastically how to raise fodder corn.

Does 1t Paw?

DR.. Cornelius Herr, the briber in the
Panama blackness, sufficiently recovered
at last to return to Paris. There is no
reason to suppose he was shamming in
the matter of the terrible illness which
it was claimed overlook him immediate
ly his %nefarious manipulations of French
senator's and deputies were found out.
The wonder is that he is alive after the
abuse and hatred he brought upon him
self.
Coming nearer home, it may be re-
marked that one of the gentlemen who
was said, justly or unjustly, to have
used his official knowledge of the sugar
question in the upper house to benefit
his own private pocket is greatly out Of
health and has been for several weeks.
At the same time it is to be observed
that one of the men of New York city
who has been charged with wholesale
acceptance of brides in connection with
the police department and with other
wrongdoing to enrich himself is shat
tered in health, and his recovery is doubt
full.
It is to be observed that when heavy
charges of corruption or official miscon-
duct are brought against publicman he
falls i'll. There is usually no pretense
about it either. Often his health is ire
trievably broken, and his death is only a
question of time. His reputation is ire
trievably gone, too, as a general thing.
This has been true yer and again so
often that it is the rule. On the whole,
does getting rich in this manner pay?

To Save browning People.

The drowning season has set in with
unusual severity this summer. The ne
fessity for every human creature to learn
10 swim has been emphasized till the
world is weary of hearing it, yet almost
every day there is news that hapless NOR
tails have lost their lives through not
knowing how TO keep their heads above
water. Next to being able to swim, the
mostimportant thing in connection with
accidents ON the water is to be able to
rescue from drowning somebody who
cannot swim. The following directions
for this contain useful hints:
1t is essential that the man in the water be
reached as speedily as possible. Therefore a
rapid plunge into the water nearest him would
be the first thing to do. 1t is better to run
along the shore of a river to a point above
where the man is in order to have the assist
ance of the current in reaching him, thus saw
ing your strength, which will be needed later.
Be sure TO approach him from behind, grab
bling him in such a manner that your left
hand, which passes under his left arm, may
grasp his right wrist firmly and press him
firmly toward you. Then swim toward the
" upoh youi DdShs IL SuASioi W ilitiiNC
use of the current all you can. The right hand
is kept entirely free and can be used in swim
ming. Only the faces of the two will be visi-
BILE above the water, and both bodies will be
carried more by the water according to the
specific weight, the rescuer having the task Of
moving forward.
The rescuer cannon be grasped by the one
rescued, as the latter cannot turn to the right,
because his wrist is firmly held, nor can he
turn to the left, because then the rescuer
would pull the left shoulder closer to his own.
If the first attempt TO grasp the drowning man
be not successful, try it again. TIL objection
that if a drowning man grasp you it is impos-
sible to shake him off is groundless. The man
drowning will always try to keep his head
above water. Therefore all the rescuer has to
do is to dive under the water, and the man will
Immediately let go. The method is advocated
by the leading swimming societies everywhere,
and it has been stated that, except in eXtraor-
binary circumstances, one cannot drown SO
long as he retains his presence OF mind andi is
occupied with one person only. Let everybody
remember that to save a fellow being from
drowning depends in every case not so much
on the rescuer's skill as a swimmer as on his
cool headedness and quickness Of action.

Vacation Time.

Insanity is most prevalent among the
classes of people whose lives are most
m~onotonous. Even where the mind
does not go entirely off its balance the
person whose thought is confined in one
dull round becomes irritable, set in his
ways and unhealthy. Old clerks, old
teachers and old farmers who have pur-
sued their one vocation without a break
90 years or more are n~oticeably peculiar,
cranky and occasionally 81 eccentric
that it is hard to say just where eccen-
tricity ends and downright insanity be-
gins. 1t is the terrible result of never
giving their minds a vacation. There is
no happiness except in constant change
of some kind. This need not be change
of place or occupation. but change of
mind. The one dull old current must be
driven away and a new tide of fresh,
sweeping, cleansing ideas flood the soul
and wash out the corpses of the dead
thoughts that will haunt persons whose
lives run in one channel.
Everybody needs a vacation of at least
one month every year. The farmer,
whose busiest season is in the summer,
ought to take his vacation in the winter,
coming with his wife to the city and
taking in town life. 1t is a pathetic
comment on the appalling dreariness Of
rustic life that more farm women go
crazed than any other class Of people.
Town people, whose lives are narrowed
down between brick walls, and whose
eyesighti is harmed by bending over desks
eight or ten hours a day, should go to the
country. The eyes should get accus-
toned to taking in long vistas of land
scape; the cramped legs and body should
stretch out at full length in daily walks.
If YOU are rich enough. help somebody
who is poor to take a vacation.
Inland people should visit the sea-
shore. Persons who live by the sea
should go to the mountains. Then, too.
there are trips to Europe to be had very
reasonably now. For the real vacation
hunter who is tired out and wants rest
the poorest place is a fashionable resort
by sea, mountain u lake, where there
are more dressing, late hours and dys-
pepsia in a week than the average city
dweller gets in a month at home. For
all but the merest shallow, artificial soul
there will be a better vacation in a quiet
spot as near to the heart of nature as one
can get. The very rich can take a vaca-
ton when they like, but the individual
who tolls in Office or factory the year
around wants cheerful, jolly compan-
ions, outdoor life and plenty of sleep;
also plenty OF milk, fruits and fresh veg
etables.

The aluminium watch, which is be-
coming such a favorite in Paris, will
soon make its way in this country. It
will be admirable for ordinary use in all
ways. Its weight is scarcely more than
that of its works. It will eve tarnish
and will not tempt thieves to steal it so
often as the gold watch does.

The old slave market where negroes
were put upon the block and auctioned
off is still shown as a curiosity in some
of the southern cities. But the death of
an old black woman, Lois Triton, in
New Haven, recalls the fact that New
England, too, had her slave marts and
sold negroes at auction a century ago.
Lois Triton was born a slave and had
been sold on the New Haven green. She
was 95 years old and was said to be the
last slave in New Haven to be sold on
the green.

Chief Justice Dale, of the supreme
territorial court of Oaklahoma, has
made a ruling in a divorce case which
should be made a precedent in other
cases to which it will apply. A man
petitioned for divorce on the ground
of his wife's extreme jealousy. which
caused her to leave him. Judge Dale
promptly determined to ascertain
whether there was any cause for the
wife's jealousy, and asked the plaintiff
if he would swear that he had not vio-
lated the nuptial VOW since his mar
riage, with other women than his wife.
The plaintiff refused to swear to
this. Thereupon Judge Dale, without
hearing any further testimony, denied
him a divorce and dismissed the case.
This is good common ense. AS the
wife had cause for jealousy, the latter
could not bealleged as a vailed reason
fer granting the husband a divorce.
