men averaged 65 per cent. Another
lesson taught with great distinctness
was that our self.grown seeds must be
properly cured and well preserved if
we wish to secure the best results.
This difference in the vitality of seeds
due to different methods of preserving
may be illustrated by few examples.
Some years ago an interesting series
OF tests was made under my direction,
to show the comparison in vitality be-
tween corn kept in the ordinary crib
and that which had been hung up in
some warm, dry place. or otherwise
thoroughly dried. Over 900 samples of
corn were tested. These samples came
from widely different sections, each
county in the state furnishing one or
more. They were samples of the corn
that the respective farmers sending
them expected to use for seed. About
two-thirds of the total number of sam
pies came from cribs, while the other
third had been thoroughly dried.
The results of the vitality tests were
as follows: The samples carefully dried
gave an average of SO. 1 per cent. germ
mated, while those from the crib gave
an average of only 63. 3 per cent. Here
was difference of 80 per cent. in favor
of the properly handled corn.
For the past ten years there have
been from two and half to three mil
lion acres of corn planted annually in
Ohio. Assuming five quarts of seed to
have been used per acre, it requires
from 400 to 500 thousand bushels of
seed corn each year. If only 10 per
cent. of this failed to grow there would
be an annual loss of from 40 to so thou=
sand bushels, equal at the present time
to one half as many dollars But this
Is not all. 1t is indeed small part of
the expense caused by using poor seed.

HARVARD ANECDOTES.
The "old Boy" Tells Stories of the Days
When He Was Young.


A veteran of Harvard college, dwelling
yesterday Oh old student times, recalled
that the late Josiah Cooke although so
liked by his students in general, was very
unpopular with them in his earlier days
on one point owing to his having intro
duced the requirements of written reports
in his lectures. One day the students put
up on the bulletin in the university (this
was 40 years ago and more) a forged no.
tice that there would be no recitation in
chemistry that day They got "Old Hill,"
the janitor on their side. The hour comes,
professor takes his seat, not man there.
Out he rushes, me IS the janitor, "Why,
what does this mean, Hillg' said he.
"Whcre are the bC 's?' Mr.. Janitor walks
over to the bullet d. Didn't you put up
notice that there would be no recitation
today?" 81? No, of course not Go right
around to the rooms of the students and
call them together" But not a student
was 'in." They had been watching the
conversation, land the subsequent pro-
Ceedings interested them no more.
The same old boy'' told new story Of
Professor Siophocles. He had announced
TO his classes that they need never wait
for him if lie was five minutes late This
was intended to be hint and lesson 10
them in punctuality. One day they wait
ed five minutes. No professor. Out they
filed and met him at the door He took
out his watch, looked at it, looked over
at the clock on the First Parish church,
looked again at his watch, then with
gesture of disgust lifted his arm and
smashed the offending timepiece on the
pavement, Among his pupils was one
gifted with his pencil, who took his like
ness so admirably-long hair and wild
monastery look and all--that the students
went to Boston and had it Autographed
and deputed one of their number to take
him a copy. If they expected scene,
they were disappointed. He was delight

As for old Benjamin Pierce, he of the
leonine name, at that time he was carry.

were only three or four of our class" said
the Harvard gentleman, ''who took the

together and say, Well, let's have little

as calculable as an eclipse. All that was

PuNlsHlNe CHILDREN.
How 1t Should and How 1t Should Not Re
Performed


The abuse of punishment is moro dan
gerous than the greatest indulgence. At
the present day we have outgrown the
harsh methods of the past. Corporal pun
ishment is almost entirely excluded from
our schools. The hurt occasionod by cor
poral punishment is not to the body but
to the mind 1t is, after ALL the mind that
Is struck.
But this is not all. In appealing to the
mind we treat the child as a rational
creature. This is claim of the child that
we cannot ignore. Corporal punishment
is one sided. Besides corporal punishment,
as Herbert Spencer has shown, is associat-
ed with man in the childhood of the
world. 1t is the savage, who has not pa
thence to reason or explain, who strikes.
Corporal punishment can seldom be ad-
ministered without passion. When we
show excitement, we give signs Of weak
ness Then the boy or girl becomes con-
sCious Of power over US. This is a temp
taton to youth
The danger Of corporal punishment
therefore, is that we can seldom admins
ter it without losing our head. On the
other hand, we cannot appeal to the rea-
son without becoming more reasonable.
Besides corporal punishment there are
other punishments that are not justifable
To shut up child in a dark room is to
spur its imagination into wild fancies
Darkness is a bad companion. 1t will con-
tract and terrify the child. Denying chill
dren the necessary amount of sleep or food
exposing them to the inclemency of the
weather, Withholding from them for too
long a time the tokens Of affection, treat
ing them as strangers, or as enemies or
ignoring them altogether-these are meas.
ures that do moro harm than good.
Punishment should be of such a nature
that, if necessary, the parents may share
it with the children The child must
know that it cannot suffer alone physical
ly, much less morally. Its suffering brings
suffering to others. This is the lesson that
will develop the social element in the
child
In the second place, we must correct the
faults of the child by its virtues-that is
to say, the strong qualities of the mind
must spur the weak faculties into play.
If child be physically strong, but moral
ly weak, let the parent hold up to view the
two sides of its nature until the physically
strong child shall be ashamed of its moral
cowardice.- journal of Ethics.

DamaEe by LightnIng Increased.

Damage by lightning is Enthusiastically
increasing, according to the director of the
statistical Office of Berlin. Various causes
are assigned, such as the employment of
electricity in various industries the con-
tinual change of form Of the earth's sur
face by deforestation, drainage etc., and
the impurities introduced into the atmos-
phere by the growing consumption Of
coal. Professor Won Bezold some time ago
showed that for Bavaria the fires due to
lightning increased from a yearly average
of 82 in 1888 to 1s49 to 1872 in 1880 to 1889,
while the number of persons struck by
lightning and of those killed rose from
1874 and 73, respectively, in 1855 to 1856
and 161 in 1885. An interesting fact noted
is that persons struck generally perceive
neither lightning nor thunder but receive
the impression of being enyeloped by fire.

She was a newcomer to that little mid
die class clique. Her husband was Of
their set, but he had married her in a dis
tant city, and there were rumors that she
had been an actress or something else dis
graceful, The other ladies in the progress
i've euchre club couldn't understand her
ways, and even their husbands were sus-
picious that she had not always moved in
society so exalted. Finally she was caught
red handed, so to speak, and thereafter was
ostracized by these snug Philistines.
tell the story of her downfall as it was told
to me by Captain Adoniram Perkins,
whose house is filled with red plush furni-
ture and So etchings, and who is therefore
generally respected on -- street:
Il always thought she was low bred
thing, but we had no proof until the last
meeting of the club. Then she forgot her
self and spoke of the other ladies present
as women My wife wanted to take it
up as an insult, but l pitied the poor
thing, and so we concluded not to invite her
or her husband to any more of our doings.
It's rough on her husband, of course but
maybe it serves him right for marrying a
woman without any refinement What's
that? Lady has been worked to death,
and woman is better form nowadays
Oh, go on! You're kiddin, Nobody but
a female who goes out washing by the day
is a woman. Why, our hired girl would
quit if we didn't speak Of her as a lady. "
